Hyatt Carmel Highlands

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous grounds and views of the Pacific Ocean and sunset. Very nice restaurant, great wine list, lovely view. Staff was helpful and cheerful. Easy mile or so to downtown Carmel."

The Quail

The Quail

8/10 Good

"The Quail is a very nice hotel, but unless you're into golf, there's not much to see or do there. Carmel is about 15 minutes away by car, but if you just want to step outside the hotel and walk to nearby stores or attractions, there aren't any. The facilities and housekeeping were excellent - our only complaint is that the toilet was incredibly low-height - potentially a problem for people with creaky knees."
