"The Quail is a beautiful oasis - it has very spacious rooms, with either a patio or deck. The rooms have very comfortable beds, with bath robes & other lovely amenities provided. There are two restaurants to chose from, one at the golf course, and one at the main building, which has a great deck for outside dining, and the food is very good. Also, the staff is terrific, very accomodating. My go-to spot when visiting Carmel is The Quail Lodge - it never dissapoints me. E.M."
