Top Carmel Valley Hotel Reviews

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The ambience is calm and sophisticated. The staff have all been exceedingly helpful and friendly, from check in to bartender to housekeeping. We felt spoiled and had all of our needs met. We could live here! Almost like a cruise. We never had to leave but of course we need to see Monterey and Carmel and beaches and trails. TV and wifi were awful. Roku unusable. Some of the channels that we could watch cut out. Big shower. Small bathroom! Great towels! Air conditioner is loud. Those are the bad things. The sauna is a great perk. The pool and grounds are well kept and clean. The daily wine servings and smores are a nice touch. The restaurant has a great view of the ocean with an occasional glimpse of a sea lion or pod of dolphins going by."

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is located in an excellent location at the end of Cannery Row, and our stay was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. My daughter had a massage at the spa and rated it as 10 out of 10. She also utilized the hot tub which has a great view of the ocean. We loved having a drink in the lounge in the evening, listening to the music and enjoying the views. I would recommend this hotel."

Lovers Point Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The property was perfect, right on the beach. The restaurant across the street was excellent also and convenient. The lady at the front desk was very nice and very accommodating. It was my birthday she noticed on my license and gifted me a little collection of chocolates from a local chocolate shop located on the wharf. Perfect stay will definitely see you soon!"

The grounds are truly out of a fairytale, the gardens are meticulously maintained and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. One of the most peaceful and relaxing places we have ever had the pleasure to enjoy. We will be visiting again for sure."
