Top Carmel Mission Basilica Hotel Reviews

La Playa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolutely Wonderful Honeymoon Experience! There was absolutely nothing not to love about this beautiful property! From the moment we arrived, the staff was amazing, welcoming, and attentive. The complimentary breakfast was incredible and far exceeded our expectations! The grounds and pool area are simply stunning—romantic, peaceful, and the perfect setting to relax and unwind. The beach is just a short, enjoyable downhill walk away, making the location even more special. We also made a little tradition of visiting Bud’s Bar most evenings for a relaxing nightcap, which quickly became one of our favorite parts of the day. Now, you might think that’s the best of it all… but our upgraded room, #408, was truly the icing on the cake! The breathtaking views overlooking the beautiful grounds and the beach were everything we could have hoped for and more. Waking up to that scenery each morning was simply unforgettable. My wife and I were celebrating our honeymoon, and this property provided exactly the romantic, relaxing, and memorable experience we were looking for. We will be back!!!"

Pine Inn

8/10 Good

"We were in a standard room (218) 2nd floor over trash/restaurant . At night when trash taken out all you could hear was trash cans full with bottles taken out to street and @ 6:30 heard trash truck load bottles and trash.🙃🍾"

"Impeccable service, well-appointed rooms that were spotlessly clean, and a fantastic boutique bar. Very close the beach in a quiet area. Breakfast was top notch. Really like the team that worked there."

Carmel Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room and bathroom were so spacious - the bathroom was actually huge - a rarity in hotels. The property was beautiful and so close to the beach. One of the staff members helped me to track a door dash delivery that got lost due to the confusing street number systems in Carmel and me not speaking the language of the driver. Highly recommend."
