We had a great stay at Tradewinds Carmel! Christine greeted us with a warm welcome. The location was perfect - tucked away, quiet, yet a short walk to all the shopping and restaurants. A wonderful hand-selected breakfast was delivered each morning, and we enjoyed it in the lovely garden area. Our room was very nice, especially the view of the ocean.
