Carmel is a great beach to visit.
Carmel is a great beach to visit. Very pretty surrounding area, white sandy beach. But water is cold! Carmel in general tends to be very rainy/cloudy. Its not necessarily "lay out and tan" kind of vibes. But more walk the beach, play fetch with your dog, find a good nook to read a book, surf if thats what you're into.

Such a neat little town, some areas look like a fairy village according to my wife. Definitely a art town as there are a lot of art galleries. Overall it is such a cute little town with lots of cool little shops to visit and sights to see.D - 10Scored 10

This is our third time coming to Carmel, and if I win the lotto, I will buy here. It is like nothing else you can experience on the West Coast. There are so many shops, wine tasting, hundreds of wonderful restaurants, and, did I say shopping? We coordinated this trip with a concert at the Sun Set Center. If you can attend a concert there, you will not be let down. It was amazing and within walking distance.

Carmel is a wonderful place to visit, we were lucky that the weather was so GOOD. The town has many great shops, restaurants and art galleries. It is a wonderful pace to celebrate a special occasion and there is Pebble Beach and the 17 mile drive!!AAnonymousUnited States of America - 10Scored 10

Carmel is a cute, charming seaside town with plenty of shopping and restaurants. Mostly all parking is on-street parallel parking. The Adobe Inn, where we stayed, is located within a block of all the restaurants and shops and even has its own parking garage located below the Inn. At night the town pretty much clears out after 9 or 10, but walking back to the Inn felt safe. The town is also a great base if you are planning on visiting Monterey, 17 Mile Drive, or Big Sur.MariettaUnited States of America - 10Scored 10
Carmel is the jewel in the PCH crown.
Carmel is the jewel in the PCH crown. A beautiful spot with its own personality. The cutest shops, amazing food and outstanding beaches. Super close to Big Sur and also the 17 Mile Drive - make sure you visit Peeble Beach Golf Club!

- From $276.63 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,174 reviewsWe had an ocean view king room with fireplace - the view was spectacular and the best part of the room! The hotel is a refurbished older property. The updated rooms are nice and comfortable but nothing special. The bathroom was small but functional. The location is great and walkable to downtown Carmel restaurants and the beach. Be aware that the hotel is up a hill if you are in an ocean view room and may be a difficult walk for people with mobility issues and you will need to drive. The staff is great, very friendly and accommodating.NNAZMINUnited States of America

Bonus: The Crossroads Plaza is a mere .2 miles away. Our room in the upstairs of the main building: Clean & comfortable w/ a balcony overlooking Carmel River; comfy king-sized bed. Quiet refrigerator, good television. Perfect for a 2-night Monterey Peninsula getaway. ‘Would stay again when in the area.

- From $279.88 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 849 reviewsCharming boutique Inn built in the 1940's but well maintained. REAL fireplaces in the rooms! Excellent hot breakfast. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Reasonably close to the main street in downtown Carmel. Carmel is "downhill" from the Inn...a nice walk to the town but best to Uber/Lyft back to the Inn after dinner.

- From $298.30 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 440 reviewsRoom adequate, bit crowded with furnishings. Location not the best, at top of hill, limited tight parking if hotel would be full. Breakfast basket more than adequate. Loads of construction all over Carmel, no street parking in town and it was off month of January. Could not imagine how it would be in busier season
