Carmel is such an enchanting village!!
Carmel is such an enchanting village!! The shops and art galleries are amazing! The trees and flowers that line all the streets are lush and mature- as the trajectory of the town slopes down gradually to the most beautiful white sand beach that spreads for miles along the Monterey Bay!! There are many dining options and coffee shops too. Truly a world class destination❤️

It is a beautiful, classy, step back in time village with a lovely beach at the foot of Main Street. Dozens of attractive, luscious cafes and restaurants within the several block main shopping area. Great designer shops, local and International. It is expensive for a middle class traveler, but not out of reach. Such wonderful ambiance and not snooty. Across from Tiffany's is the local Drug Store with hysterical greeting cards for $3.66. BARGAIN! Not for kids - too slow. Also, it is great to be a 10 minute drive from a much cheaper and more active Monterey, with many activities for children and adults. A double dose of California at its best.Tom and Mary USAUnited States - 10Scored 10
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.JenniferUnited States - 10Scored 10

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

- From TWD 7,111 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 1,165 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

It is very close to all shopping boutiques end great restaurants. Our room had a balcony with a table and two chairs. When you walk up the stairs to get to the second floor, there is a cozy terrace with tables and chairs where you can sit and enjoy glass of wine or a cup of coffee. Beds are very comfortable. Breakfast is delivered to your door at no extra cost! Staff is very welcoming. It was a very pleasure stay.
InnaUnited States - From TWD 7,281 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 797 reviewsA lovely property in a really good location to have a visit to Carmel. The hotel was only 2 story and surrounded the pool and beautiful gardens. The room had a coffee machine, tv and a super comfy bed. The bathroom was a good size with a shower. The staff were friendly and welcoming at check in and out times and they provided coffee, tea and water in the lobby along with cookies. Free parking was beneficial. The shops and restaurants of Carmel were a 5 minute walk away and it was a beautiful little town
LauraUnited Kingdom - From TWD 7,871 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 1,584 reviewsWe really enjoyed our stay at Hofsas. The hotel has a nice old world feel. Its a pleasant 10 mins stroll into Carmel centre and another 5 mind to Sunset beach. We ate at the restaurant across the road, which was good. The balconies at the rear catch the sun in the afternoon and we had a pleasant sit out in late November. The breakfast was perfectly fine. There was plenty of parking, but the streets are pretty quiet if you came at a busy time.

The free breakfast was also excellent. I will come to this hotel from now on. Extra: Centrally located within walking distance to all shops and restaurants in CarmelLuisUnited States
- From TWD 9,741 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 1,951 reviewsWe weren’t there long enough to get to really enjoy anything. The rooms were clean. The bed was comfortable. We liked the fact that the hotel offers reverse osmosis water system to fill our bottles. We own and operate Pure Water Guys and were in Carmel installing units so It was a plus to see a hotel care about the water they offer. We appreciate that even though It wasn’t our systems.JJamieUnited States
- From TWD 11,643 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 311 reviewsLocation was fantastic. Had breakfast each morning at the bakery across the street. Easy walk to everything. Housekeeper was quick and efficient. Room layout was a bit unusual as you had to go through the bathroom to get to the bedroom. The motel itself is older with rooms open to the outside; however, we never felt that was a security issue in Carmel by the Sea.MarkUnited States

CrosbyUnited States - From TWD 8,261 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 519 reviewsIt's a gem. I truly love that area the Carmel. River, There was one of the biggest gathering places for native Tribes. You're in the most perfect place. Because you can go to the beach, you can go to The Valley. You could easily go down the coast. You easily make it into Monterey. And it's really a beautiful place to stay.
