"What a gorgeous hotel for couples! Romantic setting, great ocean views for many rooms like ours with a large private balcony. We chose a King Bed, Ocean View room. There is a wonderful choice of breakfast items delivered to your doorstep at your specified time in the morning. This hotel has beautiful grounds with fountains, waterfalls fire pit and tropical plants. Our room had a gas fireplace which we used, just because. The decor and vibe were Asian inspired with a lovely Japanese table top, bamboo fountain in our room giving a lovely trickling water sound. Parking was free and there is a lot of vacant street parking too. Like most places in Carmel, there is heating, but no A/C which we actually missed as we were there during a heat spell. It did cool down at night and was not too bad, but it would have been nice to have the A/C in late afternoon. That is my only complaint"
