This is our third time coming to Carmel, and if I win the lotto, I will buy here. It is like nothing else you can experience on the West Coast. There are so many shops, wine tasting, hundreds of wonderful restaurants, and, did I say shopping? We coordinated this trip with a concert at the Sun Set Center. If you can attend a concert there, you will not be let down. It was amazing and within walking distance.

Carmel is a wonderful place to visit, we were lucky that the weather was so GOOD. The town has many great shops, restaurants and art galleries. It is a wonderful pace to celebrate a special occasion and there is Pebble Beach and the 17 mile drive!!AAnonymousUnited States of America - 10Scored 10

Carmel is a cute, charming seaside town with plenty of shopping and restaurants. Mostly all parking is on-street parallel parking. The Adobe Inn, where we stayed, is located within a block of all the restaurants and shops and even has its own parking garage located below the Inn. At night the town pretty much clears out after 9 or 10, but walking back to the Inn felt safe. The town is also a great base if you are planning on visiting Monterey, 17 Mile Drive, or Big Sur.MariettaUnited States of America - 10Scored 10

Carmel is the jewel in the PCH crown. A beautiful spot with its own personality. The cutest shops, amazing food and outstanding beaches. Super close to Big Sur and also the 17 Mile Drive - make sure you visit Peeble Beach Golf Club!

The morning and afternoon is the best time to spend it in Carmel. During night time it’s not lit up as you think it would be. But during the day it’s absolutely amazing. All the shops, cafes, restaurants. The walking. Everything is near by. The beach to the town is like 10 min walk. We stayed for 3 nights and 4 daysAAnonymous - 10Scored 10
Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel.
Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel. A lot of good restaurants to eat, not cheap, but a long list of great places. Friendly people. Great beach and other beaches near by. You can visit Monterey, close by.Inna GlazmanUnited States of America

- From £221.81 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 1,950 reviewsWe loved the heated pool and the gym. The beds were comfortable. We only discovered the shops, bars and restaurants behind the hotel on the last day. These are very close and would be great for a meal (if only the reception staff had of told us when asked could we walk to a restaurant on the first day after a long drive while waiting to check, we were told no for some strange reason!) Plenty of stores and coffee shops nearby which was great for breakfast. About 5 min drive to the town or beach.
TrionaIreland - From £218.64 per night7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 1,162 reviewsThe location was great. Just on the end of downtown Carmel closer to the beach. We didn’t drive the whole time we were there, walked all around Carmel and also down to the beach daily. The hotel takes up about a whole block with El Fornaio restaurant and a few shops on the ground floor. The rooms are spread out, not your typical setup with hallways. Our room was quite large with a sitting area separated from the bedroom by folding doors and it was quiet at night. Loved all the windows.
ErinUnited States of America - From £155.06 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 982 reviewsIt was very close to town and we really enjoyed that it was an indepentently owned hotel. The room was spacious and there was a little cute courtyard with a table (it seemed it was primarily for use for the rooms directly off the courtyard, but we sat there anyway!). The fireplace warmed the place right up. It also made a big difference traveling as a family to have 1.5 bathrooms in our room. The hotel itself is a great value for the Carmel area. We would stay there again.LysaUnited States of America
- From £309.28 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 434 reviewsCarmel-by-the-Sea is riddled with small charming boutique style accommodations. All of them are unique, but the Tradewinds I find is the most modern and updated as far as design aesthetic goes within a reasonable nightly rate. The rooms are updated, the property is minimal with a buddha fountain and outdoor tables if you want to enjoy a glass of wine or your hotel breakfast, but a majority of your stay should be visiting the beaches and walking about the town.KariUnited States of America
- From £221.17 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,182 reviewsThe room was very spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Due to covid the breakfast area was closed but they gave us a daily starter bag with water, juice, a mini pound cake and a banana. We couldn't have asked for more. The hotel is within walking distance to all the restaurants, shops and the beach. We would definitely recommend Carmel Bay View in to other travelers.JohnUnited States of America
- From £409.56 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 114 reviewsWe stayed only one night, but the staff is so helpful and a quick check in that let us time to enjoy Carmel. The rooms are very clean. Amazing location, don’t expect the best views, but it’s 3 streets from center and lots of places to go. The free parking it’s also amazing you can leave the car there and walk for 10min to the beach and 5 to Ocean ave!
FRANCISCAUnited States of America - From £238.50 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 439 reviewsExcellent location, with the town of Carmel less than a 10-minute walk and the beach just a little over 20 minutes on foot. The outdoor communal area at the hotel was a nice touch and we enjoyed relaxing there in the evening after wandering around the town, with comfortable seating, and fires to keep us warm when the temperature dropped off.RichardUnited Kingdom
- From £221.17 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,182 reviewsIts a neat, simple hotel, and well located in Carmel. Easy to walk down to main Carmel streets for accessing restaurants and shops. We had a room on the top floor - which had an outstanding view of the Carmel town and a sea view. The property is located on a slight incline - which makes the views even better. Rooms are spacious, but simple.
SalilIndia - From £223.77 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 852 reviewsCharming boutique Inn built in the 1940's but well maintained. REAL fireplaces in the rooms! Excellent hot breakfast. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Reasonably close to the main street in downtown Carmel. Carmel is "downhill" from the Inn...a nice walk to the town but best to Uber/Lyft back to the Inn after dinner.
GaryUnited States of America - From £194.26 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 1,579 reviewsGreat location in Carmel. There is a swimming pool which we didn’t use but others were using. 15 min walk to Carmel beach. Bit old fashioned but suited vibe of Carmel. Tonnes of parking. There was a fridge and a microwave and little kitchen area in the room. Close to some great restaurants.
