Villa Mara Carmel

Excellent

If there were ten stars I would happily give them to Villa Mara! It’s a charming, small, beautifully run property. One block from the quiet end of Carmel’s iconic beach, it was the perfect location to spend our 24th anniversary. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Despite having been to Carmel many, many times, our stay here felt like coming home. We’ll definitely be back.

Fantastic staff, location, and amenities. Every detail is purposeful and thoughtful from the freshly baked cookies to the high quality light fixtures.

Lovely landscaping and everything was so clean

Exceptional service and staff. Best staff services since Icon in Hong Kong.

Great staff Breakfast included

The location, the property itself very put together, stylish and has a feel of home, very friendly staff, we felt welcome and were also given great recommendations for local dining, amazing breakfast

One of the best properties I’ve stayed in (and I’ve traveled extensively within US, Europe and parts of Asia). The location was perfect..away from the crowds but only 20-30min walk to downtown. Access to beach is 5min walk. The hotel itself is gorgeous..immaculate inside and outside, the gardens and fire pit are inviting, room was perfect for our short getaway with well-appointed furnishings, exquisite decor, very comfortable bed, heated tile floors, complimentary snacks, delectable breakfast & great views from the private balcony. The quality of service was the real gem here..it was unmatched; smooth check-in with complimentary glass of wine; very friendly and laidback staff who went out of their way to make our stay so relaxing and enjoyable. Will definitely stay here on our future visits.
