"A real jewel in Carmel"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I have traveled extensively and La Playa is certainly among the best hotels I have experienced. The surroundings are beautiful and the staff is top notch! Our driver, Christian, was our favorite staff member. He suggested amazing restaurants and gave us information about beautiful Carmel, all while driving us safely to our destinations.

"Amazing service and a view!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Fantastic location and incredible views from our lovely room. The amenities in the room were perfect m, bed was comfortable and did I mention the awesome view of the ocean? The staff was incredible and friendly. The champagne brunch blew us away and we were so surprised that it was included. We got a ride to dinner in a very comfortable Mercedes and returned after dinner to find hot cookies! Highly recommend.
