Love this place, just 2 minutes from the beach and a 25-minute walk to downtown Carmel. The staff are first class, with George in particular standing out. Our room was upgraded upon arrival and was beautifully decorated. The complimentary mini bar and snacks were a lovely surprise, and the breakfast was delicious.

I loved my stay at Villa Mara Carmel! The room was super clean and comfortable, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. They had tons of great recommendations for things to do around town. And the breakfast—wow. I almost never eat breakfast, but this one was seriously amazing and totally worth it. Such a great experience overall!

It was all perfect! My wife and I were on a road trip with our 16’ Airstream and I was concerned about parking two vehicles in Carmel. The staff was very helpful and they moved their own cars to make room for our caravan. Lovely place, we’ll definitely be back.

Tough to find good accommodations in Carmel. This place was very nice. Too pricey for what you get but with such limited options this was our choice. Hotel says ocean views and that just isn’t true. But we didn’t come to Carmel to hang out in our room. Biggest issue here is parking. No parking lot just take your chances finding someplace on the street. Staff was truly exceptional! Yes would stay here again given the alternatives.

If I could I would. This boutique hotel merits 10 stars. And the main stars go to the hospitality from the staff.lined up by beauty in this quaint hotel. My biggest wow when I walked in was the sunken tub. After our long walk on the beach this was like dessert after dinner. Comfortable bed, I havnt had such a relaxed nights rest in awhile. Breakfast was delicious, Everything is the best youre going to find is here. If youre looking for comfort convenience and beauty.

Loved every part of staying at this hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful with local recommendations. You’re very well taken care of at this hotel. There’s free cake every night, as well as free snacks and water in the room (including fresh baked cookies). The grounds were beautiful and the room was cozy. There’s a limited number of rooms, so it’s really peaceful and homey. We loved the daily room service breakfast. The location is also close to great restaurants, shopping, and the water. Would stay here every time I’m in Carmel!

Absolutely the best all around

What a wonderful stay and attention to service and detail. From arrival to departure, we felt completely attended to for any need we had or could have. A wonderful breakfast is included each morning, recommendations to local restaurants, the beach is one block from the stay, multiple sitting areas with fire pits located around the property. Will definitely stay again if in the area.
