Top Carmel Beach Hotel Reviews

The Inn at the Tides

10/10 Excellent

"Inn at the Tides was a great place to stay. Very helpful at check-in. Room was extremely clean. The amenities (pool, hot tub, sauna) were top notch. Cleaning staff got us extra towels, and great robes to lounge around in. Fireplace was amazing and cozy at night, Could hear the ocean in the distance. We truly enjoyed our weekend there."

"We had a wonderful time. The house interior was light and breezy, comfortable and everything we needed was provided. There were a few things that were not up to par. We reported to the owner who said they will have them addressed. What we enjoyed the most was walking distance to the beach."

"Beautiful venue and clean and very spacious. We enjoyed our time. (No condiments so bring those if you need any)"

Surfscape Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"This house has outstanding views of the ocean. As said in previous posts, some of the windows have lost their seals. There is a washer and dryer out in a separate building by the garage. The gps takes you to a dead end road. You need to go back out to the main road by the bridge where there is a new road that leads to the property. Also, the pictures show a telescope which we could not find. The beds were very comfortable and there were additional roll away beds. There is a wine dispenser with 4 kinds of wine—complimentary! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. This was a very comfortable property for the 4 of us."
