Villa Mara Carmel

The staff were extremely, genuinely, welcoming. My welcoming drink was a pint of Alvarado Street beer, which is a favorite. While I was checking in they also supplied snacks and were genuinely interested in my stay. The room had a free mini-bar with some great snacks. The evening turn down included cookies. Great ocean view from the room. The room also had a balcony which is nice touch. The location is quite and parking was easy. I will stay again.

Gorgeous property, incredible staff and 5 star service. I've never had an experience like this one where guests are treated like royalty. Absolutely perfect!

The service was by far one of the best I’ve had. My partner and I had a great weekend.

Excellent place to stay. Staff were wonderful. Location was perfect

Absolutely incredible stay, property, staff and experience. 10/10 on all counts. Every detail is considered and executed beautifully. Recommend with highest praise.

Beautiful boutique hotel a block from the beach. We were comfortable and felt cared for. Definitely worth another visit !

My wife and I came here to celebrate our honeymoon and we couldn't have picked a better place to do so. They made us feel special with champagne and flowers and it was perfect to unwind after the wedding. The breakfast in bed was stellar with the best almond croissant we’ve ever had. The slice of cake was just a lovely touch when hanging out by the fire with a glass of wine. The pleasant aroma of Sental 33 throughout the room and shower products made you feel engulfed in luxury. The beautiful landscaping of cacti and ivy made you feel transported to a different country. It was an intimate, private experience but also had a communal atmosphere at the same time. The attention to detail really does make the experience while maintaining a cool personality and style. Very special thing they got going on. Villa Mara helped us fully relax and just enjoy being newly married. Thank you for this and we will be back in the future! Drew and Julianna

10/10 service!

The location was fantastic. Robert, Jonathan, Rocky & Johnny were all very welcoming as well as helpful in providing best spots to eat & visit.

Staff is amazing. They are so friendly and helpful. Breakfast is the best. We love coming to Villa Mara

A lovely boutique hotel a block from the water. Wonderfully helpful staff. Great breakfast and evening cake. Quick access to town. Will definitely stay again when in Carmel.

We stayed for 3 nights and it was great. The staff are very attentive and they provide us with great customer service. When we check in we receive a free drink and in the property there are fire places where you can sit and enjoy a drink.

Amazing property, close to the beach and town. Highly recommend.

Check-in was a positive experience as soon as you walk through the doors. Ambiance is just what the Doctor ordered. ✨✨✨

Incredible. Very special stay. I wish we didn’t have to leave!!

Everything about the property was wonderful but what stood out for me was the friendly staff, particularly Robert! We enjoyed our conversations with him. He made our evening last night so enjoyable!

We look forward to returning soon! Thank you!

Love this place, just 2 minutes from the beach and a 25-minute walk to downtown Carmel. The staff are first class, with George in particular standing out. Our room was upgraded upon arrival and was beautifully decorated. The complimentary mini bar and snacks were a lovely surprise, and the breakfast was delicious.

This has become a yearly tradition for us. The location, staff, rooms are exceptional. Food is excellent. A very quiet place to relax and refresh!

Tough to find good accommodations in Carmel. This place was very nice. Too pricey for what you get but with such limited options this was our choice. Hotel says ocean views and that just isn’t true. But we didn’t come to Carmel to hang out in our room. Biggest issue here is parking. No parking lot just take your chances finding someplace on the street. Staff was truly exceptional! Yes would stay here again given the alternatives.
