Good energies!

We had such a pleasant break from the daily grind in the city, what really stood out was the friendly, professional staff, short stroll and your toes are in the sand, and the mimosas kept coming on Sunday morning. Thanks for helping us reset ourselves!

I think that everyone should stay at the La Playa Hotel when in Carmel. It has all the things. Its beautiful! The service is wonderful! The bountiful buffet breakfast is amazing. Buds Bar is so cozy and cute. Welcome glass of wine or sangria! Yummy warm chocolate chip cookies in the evening! Transportation to nearby restaurants. There is a pool but too cold in February! Walkable to the Gorgeous beach and shopping. What else could you ask for? A definite recommend!

Disappointed in service, but a beautiful hotel.

While the hotel itself was amazing and dreamy, we were disappointed with the service beginning from check-in through being charged for items in the room we did not even touch. It has taken several phone calls and messages left to try and amend this issue (as it is still not resolved).

The staff and service was incredible! It was nice to have shuttle service into town when going out to dinner. We also loved that it was easy walking distance to the beach.
