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 - 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 - 10Scored 10

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!

The morning and afternoon is the best time to spend it in Carmel. During night time it’s not lit up as you think it would be. But during the day it’s absolutely amazing. All the shops, cafes, restaurants. The walking. Everything is near by. The beach to the town is like 10 min walk. We stayed for 3 nights and 4 daysAAnonymous - 10Scored 10
Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel.
Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel. A lot of good restaurants to eat, not cheap, but a long list of great places. Friendly people. Great beach and other beaches near by. You can visit Monterey, close by.Inna GlazmanUnited States

- From £302.49 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 463 reviewsWe loved our stay at this stunning hotel. Beautiful inside and out, and in the perfect location for exploring Carmel. We could see everything we wanted to by foot, including the beach (just prepare for the climb on the way back up!) and fairytale cottages. The breakfast was delicious, and the wine and nibbles every afternoon was a brilliant touch - we loved it and spent a few hours every day of our stay enjoying the wine in the sunshine. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
HeatherUnited Kingdom - From £802.96 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 192 reviewsL'Auberge Carmel is a very nice hotel. The bathroom has the most marvelous heated tile floor in front of the sink. With Carmel having fairly consistent 50-60's weather, that heated floor was wonderful when barefoot. The location was fantastic as well. We tried all 3 of the breakfast offerings -- healthy Chia seed pudding & juice shot, Avocado toast, and petit dejuner. All were very good. I liked the healthy breakfast the best and the Avocado toast the least.

Breakfast was okay but Carmel has a bunch of cute places to get a proper one, especially for those who are vegan. The location was close to the city center and just a 15min walk away from the beach.

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.
