We had an ocean-facing room, and I loved the decor. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast spread was excellent and one of the best we've had at a hotel. The service was also top-notch. I deducted a star for the room's shower, which smelled musty and was a distraction from the otherwise perfect experience. ##### Stacey Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 12 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was quaint and charming.

Wonderful selection of fresh food! ##### Barbara Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 11 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the La Playa Hotel. Hospitality was excellent and all the staff was very friendly. The room and amenities were great. You can't beat the location. It's just a few minutes from the beach and the main shopping area in Carmel. We appreciated the amenities that were offered on top, like a private driver bringing you to and picking you up from your dinner reservation or their happy hour with free cocktails in the afternoon or warm cookies in the evening. The champagne breakfast was incredible and easily one of the best breakfast buffets we've ever had offering a wide variety of options. We also appreciated the hotel bar Bud's, a dark & moody cocktail bar with fantastic cocktails and excellent food. We ended up spending quite some time there. Overall we had a fantastic time, and can't wait to visit again. We highly recommend the place. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah 22 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I love this hotel.

Nothing else compares. From the moment you arrive, you feel wrapped in a level of warmth and sophistication that only La Playa delivers. The hotel effortlessly blends luxury with historic charm, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and elevated. Breakfast here is unforgettable. The spread is incredible, and the salmon caper hash browns are absolutely to die for, one of the best dishes we have ever had anywhere. Enjoying it all with ocean views has become one of our favorite traditions. The staff is consistently on point as well: attentive, professional, friendly, and always a step ahead in making sure every detail of your stay is perfect. If you are looking for a place where luxury meets historic sophistication, where every stay feels special and every moment feels relaxed, La Playa is it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/91dcb60a-e9a5-4360-bf65-53580f32d367-1765416018710.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amber Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen 7 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved this hotel-elegant, roomy, great breakfast. ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dina 6 Dec 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved everything about this hotel, Buds is toooo good and the rooms and view and proximity to town is beautiful ##### Dina Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Kimpton Alton Fisherman's Wharf by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Kimpton-Alton-Hotel-Fishermans-Wharf.h1047.Hotel-Information) > - [Candle Light Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Candle-Light-Inn.h968980.Hotel-Information) > - [Corque Hotel, Solvang, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Hotel-Corque.h67460.Hotel-Information) > - [The Viv Hotel, Anaheim, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-The-Viv-Hotel.h50907370.Hotel-Information) > - [Lemon Tree Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Lemon-Tree-Inn.h966170.Hotel-Information) > - [Carmel Wayfarer Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Carmel-Wayfarer-Inn.h1111426.Hotel-Information) > - [Clarion Collection Carmel Oaks Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Clarion-Collection.h1520604.Hotel-Information) > - [CCBC Resort Hotel - A Gay Men's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-CCBC-Resort-Hotel-A-Gay-Mens-Resort.h1654482.Hotel-Information) > - [Bide-A-Wee Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Bide-A-Wee-Inn.h3520260.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > - [The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-London-West-Hollywood-At-Beverly-Hills.h21097.Hotel-Information) > - [Magic Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Magic-Castle-Hotel.h27297.Hotel-Information) > - [The Prospect Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Whitley-Hollywood.h42644328.Hotel-Information) > - [Casa Loma Beach Hotel (formerly The Inn at Laguna Beach)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Laguna-Beach-Hotels-Inn-At-Laguna-Beach.h7446.Hotel-Information) > - [The Pierside Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Pierside-Santa-Monica.h2094.Hotel-Information) > - [The Beverly Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Beverly-Hills-Hotel-Dorchester-Collection.h12057.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Delfina-Santa-Monica.h12942.Hotel-Information) > - [Basecamp South Lake Tahoe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Basecamp-South-Lake-Tahoe.h1086847.Hotel-Information) > - [Premier Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakland-Hotels-Premier-Inn-Suites.h98374288.Hotel-Information) > - [Pixar Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Paradise-Pier-Hotel.h9503.Hotel-Information) > - [The Commerce Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Los-Angeles-Commerce-Casino.h533227.Hotel-Information) > - [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > - [Palihouse West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Palihouse-West-Hollywood.h13072.Hotel-Information) > - [ The Hollywood Franklin Hotel near Universal Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Adler-A-Hollywood-Hills-Hotel.h9761.Hotel-Information) > - [Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Grand-Californian-Hotel-And-Spa.h692655.Hotel-Information) > - [Le Petit Pali Brentwood West Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Le-Petit-Pali-Brentwood.h893085.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Carmel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Hotel-Carmel.h968985.Hotel-Information) > - [Alma San Diego Downtown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Alma-San-Diego-Downtown.h2133509.Hotel-Information) ---
