The Ocean view is so beautiful and the restaurant is amazing, the only thing is that we carried some heavy luggages and we had to carry them with the stairs, but the property design is cool.

Great stay. Spectacular view of Highlands from our balcony. Dining options reduced during stay (restaurant closed certain days…). Quiet and away from Carmel town centre amenities (shopping,dining). Point Lobos hiking nearby was incredible with some beautiful vistas.

Still a nice place but it’s getting old and out dated. Construction around the pool which was closed was on going noise, not really loud but was noticeable. Overall still a nice place to stay. Restaurant was also nice with a great view, food was delicious but limited selections.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities

Here is the thing to know about this property. It is really two hotels on one location. Higher up the hill you have very nice cabin like rooms that more or less are worth the exorbitant per night rates. But closer to the main building, you have rooms that are the quality of a Motel 6, but are charged out at over $500 per night. You pay a premium to be lodging near much nicer rooms and a beautiful view. The food at the restaurant is also relatively poor. For $250 you can feed four people a dinner the quality of which would fit in nicely at a Denny's restaurant. But you do get a pretty awesome view of the pacific ocean.
