I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was perfect - in a quiet residential area near Carmel beach and within walking distance to some lovely restaurants. The rooms were cozy and clean, the service was amazing, and the garden surrounding the hotel was beautiful. However, I wished there were more dining options on-site. Overall, great value for money and a relaxing experience.

The hotel is situated in a beautiful garden by the sea, which is within walking distance of the brilliant beach. The location is top-notch, close to the beach and surrounded by a lovely environment. The dining options are plentiful with delicious home-made food, including waffles, but the smoked fish was a highlight.
