I fell in love with a town called Carmel. I'm sure it's because of this hotel. It was a perfect experience. Next time, I will come with my whole family.

Beautiful venue overseeing the see and very close to the center of the town. a good balance between the comfort of a grand hotel and the cosiness of a medium size hotel. Staff really incredibly kind and willing to make you enjoy the place. We loved it !
