The only problem I had, was with the curly haired kid at the front desk at checkout, who gave me attitude.Everyone else was great! Great hotel but that may have ruined my experience at this hotel

This place is an amazing must while in Carmel. The redesign is absolutely beautiful. The staff treat you like family and attempt to anticipate your every need. The staff make this place like a movie. It’s almost magical being onsite here. The manager is doing an awesome job with the team. It’s one of the best hotel staff I’ve come across in a while.

La Playa in Carmel is the perfect getaway! This quaint hotel is beautifully decorated and ideally located, with a lovely vibe that feels both timeless and modern. The grounds are stunning, and the breakfast buffet offers delicious, healthy options. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable.
Overall, La Playa exceeded all my expectations, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking for a peaceful and charming retreat in Carmel. I’ll definitely be back!

We had the pleasure of staying at this lovely hotel, and even though we were only passing through for a day, it left a lasting impression. My husband joked that we were "moving into the hotel," and I can see why. From the thoughtful check-in cocktails to the beautifully detailed and relaxing shared spaces, everything was perfect. While we didn't get a chance to visit, the cocktail bar in our room was a nice touch. The well-kept grounds, adorned with flowers that filled the air with a lovely scent, added to the charm. My favorite part of the stay? A fabulous champagne breakfast that was simply delightful. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Charming hotel for a wedding venue. Old historic building with updated room. Had a room on the first floor with big picture window providing lots of natural light. Didn’t mind watching people strolling down the street. Blackout drapes were available for privacy. Wedding was beautiful staff did a nice job and the meal was very delicious

One of a kind location. Live jazz music at budd’s the bar was delightful.
Garden and the outdoor setup was gorgeous.
Included breakfast was quite nice. Hotel is 2 blovks from beach and 7-8 minute walk to downtown.
The only issue was that walls are thin and you can hear your neighbours especially upstairs.

Lovely property. Attentive staff. Delicious breakfast. Small rooms but cozy. Views beautiful. So close to the beach. Nice and quiet. Easy walk to cute town.

My husband and I absolutely adored our stay at the La Playa hotel. We were there for our honeymoon and it was the perfect spot for couples. The ambiance was romantic and aromatic. The staff members were beyond attentive and friendly. This hotel felt like a home away from home that was truly hard to leave. We absolutely loved our stay and will be returning in the future.

Beautiful newly renovated rooms were tiny but so cute! Grounds were absolutely stunning and well maintained. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
The champnage breakfast is included and offers a variety of options including made to order omelets and eggs cooked to your liking. They so offer many complimentary snacks and drinks thru the day and evening. My only negative is the weather, so unable to use the pool. Obviously not the hotels fault! Will definitely stay again.

Great boutique hotel in carmel - close to ocean and town with lovely grounds and a great inclusive breakfast. Reminds me a little of a Belmond type hotel - not quite as upmarket but not at all bad given the price

Beautiful grounds, nice rooms, great beds and shower. Excellent breakfast. All marred by unrelenting construction noise (jack hammers, compressors, drilling, demolition noise, hammering and banging ALL DAY LONG) throughout our stay. Could not enjoy the beautiful grounds or the pool, which was the primary reason we booked the hotel. Very disappointing and sad for us given how much we had looked forward to our holiday in a beautiful hotel with beautiful grounds with a
pool. Complained to staff and got stone faced silence. No concession or even an apology.

The only bad thing is how the shower door opens and it gets the floor wet other than that amazing

Gorgeous, historic property with comfortable rooms. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. A daily breakfast buffet that offers something for everyone in a beautiful setting. Gardens are the best Carmel has to offer.
Two features that need improvement: please offer “real” in room coffee - not instant powdered stuff!! And please provide instruction in operation of in room temperature controls - hard to use this! Thanks for a lovely stay in a sublime hotel.

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend, and we were immediately impressed by the welcoming atmosphere upon our arrival. Don at the front desk assisted us, and his knowledge of the area, along with his friendly demeanor, made us feel right at home. The room was made with thoughtful details that enhanced the atmosphere. Although I typically prefer more modern hotels, this experience was one of the most enjoyable I have had. The breakfast was also delicious, adding to the overall positive experience.
