My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and we absolutely loved it. The staff was nice and helpful and we loved how they offered so many treats throughout our stay. They serve complimentary wine late afternoon/early evening and freshly baked cookies in the evening. Their complimentary champagne breakfast is amazing! We were super impressed with the different options they had and everything was delicious. I also love how they can make you pretty much any coffee beverage you’d like. The grounds is beautiful and walking distance to the beach. They also offer shuttle service from 5 pm- 11pm but if you opt to walk to Ocean Ave for dinner, it’s just a short walk away. Highly recommended this hotel! Look forward to our next visit!

We loved everything about the La Playa! Celebrated our daughter’s wedding and can’t wait to be back to enjoy more time there. The most favorite things by far-the location and beautiful grounds etc. and the staff. So incredibly professional, helpful, and gracious!

The hotel is in a wonderful location in the outskirts of Carmel by the sea. It’s a small boutique hotel. The lobby has a lounge area and a fireplace. It is somewhat expensive. When you check in, you are offered some tastes of various local wines. We checked in on Sunday and there was a jazz trio in the bar, which was great fun. They serve chocolate chip cookies at 7:30 every evening In the lobby. The beds are great. The buffet breakfast in the morning which is included in the hotel price is amazing. We did this to celebrate my partners 80th birthday and we had a great time.

Amazing property and perfect location in Carmel, I will say if you don’t get an ocean view it’s not as magical but the rooms are gorgeous and staff is amazing along with food served there!

We had a beautiful room with a great a view. We loved it so much, we spent a lot of time in the room, just the two of us, reading and writing, when we weren't enjoying the food.

If it’s location, you’re looking for this is it. Two blocks from the Main St., Ocean Avenue and two blocks from the ocean beach. A beautiful old style hotel with Restaurant. The pool is warm maybe even a bit too warm but then we went at the end of March. Parking may be a challenge but doable. Definitely a five star hotel$$$

Our experience was substantially diminished due to the power outage that occurred during the majority of our stay due to the severe storms. I know it was not the fault of the hotel but I would have expected an offer to discount our stay due to the inconvenience. Also the TV never worked and I was put on hold for a long time and finally hung up without resolution. On a positive note, Michael the person who greeted us on arrival, made our dinner reservations and drove us and returned us to the hotel is a La Playa treasure!!!

We absolutely loved our stay at La Playa and will be back for sure! Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean was dreamy. The extra amenities and welcoming staff take this already beautiful property to the next level. This trip was in celebration of our 10 yr anniversary and we had a chilled bottle of champagne and a card waiting in our room upon our arrival. It's small touches like this that make a lasting impression! Cant wait to come back
