Top Central California Hotel Reviews

Villa Mara Carmel

Carmel Point

10/10 Excellent

My husband and I came here to celebrate our 20 year wedding anniversary. This hotel exceeded my expectations! The staff was extremely friendly & accommodating! The hotel itself is GORGEOUS - so clean & new and feels like home. Lovely outdoor seating areas with fire pits (and blankets if you need them). Love all the complimentary touches - wine at the bar, continental breakfast and room snacks. (Unfortunately, my husband and I had to leave very early in the morning, before the continental...

Firefall Ranch Yosemite

Groveland

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful property opened in May 2024, about 20 min. from the entrance to the Yosemite park. We booked a 2 bedroom cottage (king queen bed). The cottages are free standing, each with a separate entrance. The parking is just outside the cottage (no valet). The cottage was modern, with an high ceiling, and a patio. It reminded me a bit of Healdsbourg Montage. The main bedroom had a double sided fire place which can be enjoyed from the main bedroom and from the outside patio. There is no TV in the...

Bernardus Lodge & Spa

Carmel Valley

10/10 Excellent

At first I didn't know what to expect from this resort seeing as it was literally right in the middle of the hills and grass area. From the main street, it didn't look like much, but once you get into the driveway, it opens up to a beautiful location. The valet and busboys are spot on and every helpful. The check-in process was a breeze and took only a few minutes. We were then escorted to our gorgeous room where the mini fridge was stocked and there were snack bowls filled with fresh fruit...

Coming from the East Bay Area, I found the level of service, friendliness, and willingness to help extraordinarily HIGH! Much higher that you can hope for! Awesome CS level! Returned after 9pm from dinner in Mariposa, we were unable to find parking. Ran into a staff member who recognized our plight. She immediately volunteered her space close to the Clubhouse! Said she was leaving soon anyway. Always greeting with smiles and a friendly tone of voice. Amazingly clean, rating 10/10 by my...
