Top Carmel Mountain Ranch Hotel Reviews

Handlery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was comfortable stay! Very nice staff"

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had tickets to Bayfest Day 3 and decided to make a mini vacation out of it. Its was nice to have the ocean and fire pit steps away from our room. We did get locked out once, but they sent security to help us out and unlock the room. Thats was funny, but it happens. We did kayaking for 2, tandem, for the early bird at 9a and it was perfect! Sun was still rising, just don’t forget your hat or sunblock! Recommend Tidal for dinner, that is in the resort and is walking distance. Staff we nice and the room was clean."

California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the housekeepers provided excellent service. My only complaint was the beds. The mattress was old and you can hear the spring pop. Other than that, the stay was good. I would stay again because of the convenience. I did have a good night sleep until I heard the spring pop. Didn’t use the pool or hot tub this trip."
