Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: This is a haven, a wonderful retreat away from the centre of Carmel (but easy to walk and runs a shuttle if needed) and close to the beautiful beach. It offers wonderful rooms with everything you need and more -- wine tasting in the afternoon (free!), cookies baked daily, a delicious breakfast bar with an incredible array of healthy offerings and stunning views/gardens. Very friendly and polite staff.
Negative: It was all perfect!
Summary: A restorative and relaxing stay in this heavenly place.
