We spent thee lovely nights at La Playa. Our room was comfortable if not huge, with a large airy bathroom. The pool area and gardens are what sold us on the property and we were not disappointed. We took lovely walks around Carmel and had some lovely food. The hotel staff are nice and helpful and the evening driver service... More

Unique, updated and spacious room overlooking amazing gardens and pool. Excellent and friendly staff. Free shuttle to shops, etc. Terrific, full breakfast buffet each morning overlooking the Pacific. Difficult to imagine a better spot in Carmel. 2 block walk to the beach. Great for reunion with several comfortable gathering places within the hotel.

My husband and I got married at La Playa in March 2013 and everything was fabulous, from the helpful and warm staff, to the amazing coordinator (Samantha), to the delicious breakfast for us and our guests the next day, the the gorgeous views from the room, to the beautiful plaza where we had our ceremony.

My girlfriend and I stayed there as her son was getting married there. The gardens were very nice and the grounds were well manicured. Staff was friendly and helpful.

We spent 4 glorious nights here in this very comfortable, great value hotel with impeccable service. Even though it was April we had a... More

We're staying here as I write this. All I can hear is the stomping around and talking of the people in the room above us. Very annoying. Rooms are clean but small - bathroom is very small - our room is almost claustrophobic. We have an "ocean view" room. I can see the ocean if I go to the very... More

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel La Playa Carmel. It's seriously SO CLOSE to the beach which is a huge plus and really close to all the shops to walk around at in downtown carmel. My best friend and I had a girls trip for a little get away as we both live in San Francisco and it's... More

The staff pampered us, were very friendly and knowledgeable of the area, which was helpful. The locational was perfectly located near the beach and ocean view room was amazing. The breakfast served was of good quality and also tasteful and plentiful, and the bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable.
