Excellent, Romantic Getaway in Carmel

Incredible hotel villas with breathtaking views! We loved all of the amenities, the campus, and 3 individual hot tubs sprinkled amongst the premises. The villa itself was very nice, I loved the tub! Beautiful, well kept grounds and very friendly helpful staff!

Our room had a great view of the ocean, however the rooms are antiquated and they are missing details that other rooms for the same rates offer. Some of the basic that I believe should be a minimum requirement for a room with this rate is waters, shower caps, and other toiletries. A special touch is highly needed. Our room offered a beautiful view of the ocean; however, it felt outdated and lacked the finer details that other rooms at the same rate typically provide. I believe some basic amenities, such as bottled water, shower caps, and other toiletries, should be standard for rooms at this price point. A special touch would greatly enhance the experience.

Where our villa was, ocean view is partial. Would have loved it if there are more options for a partial or full ocean view since this can impose the right expectations. Checking in at 0400pm, would have expected the room to be ready but needed to wait 10-20 minutes. Dining is also disappointing since even as a guest there, there's no option for food room service - so had to drive out again, spend an hour for roundtrip to a restaurant then back. First call to guest services, nobody answered the call so had to call again to get someone to pick up the phone. Villa is spacious, clean, and felt safe around the area. It's good but not too good knowing how much was paid for a nightly stay. Doubtful about coming back here again.
