Charlene Wang Mar 21, 2024
There are a ton of activities at the lodge - we played tennis, pickleball, swam, and chilled. There are also a few poke stops. The hotel bed is very comfortable, and we were upgraded to the king suite. The welcome wine is so delicious that I cancelled the visit to the winery nearby. Only downside is the restaurant - the service is way too slow, and it didn’t have any wow effects.

Absolutely LOVED the property. Spent a couple days here as a staycation. The room was large, two fireplaces. The property is very pretty and almost gives a "summer camp for adults" vibe. There were a lot of kids but mostly only saw them at the pool.
There is construction on the gym and one of the pools right now (as of Jan 2024) but it didn't really impact the stay. There's still a gym in a large event tent and there's another pool open.
Breakfast at the restaurant was in a converted conference room but was still delicious. Service was a bit slow, especially with how many people were working but it wasn't a big issue.
The location is good, it's about a 15 minute drive into downtown Carmel with shopping/restaurants/bars. It's an easy drive to/from.
Highly recommend the Carmel Valley Ranch. It's great if you want to be active and play tennis/pickleball, golf, workout, swim, or if you just want to get lost in nature. We'll definitely be back!

Very nice setup. Lots of family activities. Got to see very interesting falconry. Learned a lot from the class. Candle making was fun too. Special treats to see the Polish chickens up close and the beehives area in full gear. Saw wild turkeys too. They took their leisurely walk everywhere. It's like taunting us to catch them for dinner on Thanksgiving Day. Unfortunately, my grandson had to take a refresher archery class that day before he could shoot straight.🙂

There are some hotels where you come and go and others where you want to return and will return. This definitely falls into the return camp. Great set up and vibe. Thought the food was too expensive for what was offered and also thought the service was not quite 5*. Rooms nice and spacious and great gym. Also a big positive that the outdoor pool area had a hot pool

This was the ideal vacation for relaxation while traveling with a toddler (I know, hear me out.) First, the hilltop suite offered plenty of room for us all. 800 square feet with lots of space for our daughter to play with her toys and move around. The spacious king bed was extraordinarily comfortable (may be the most comfortable bed we have ever experienced) and we loved the large bathroom with a shallow but large tub for our toddler who loves a bath. My husband and I treated ourselves to outdoor baths daily with the large soaking tub on the patio. The views… It was perfect. At check in, they offered us a diaper genie and a microwave to be delivered to our room. This was a gamechanger and so very thoughtful. They also provided baby shampoo, lotion and wash as well as a thoughtful gift for our toddler. Above and beyond. Our room was serviced daily and we were very impressed with the room service. So much attention to detail. You never had to ask for more towels, more soap, etc. The best cup of coffee we had all week was at the lodge. Dont even bother venturing out into carmel for better coffee, you dont need to. We looked forward to our daily routine of walking the beautiful grounds to the lodge to get a great cup of coffee and breakfast. The pool area and hot tubs were beautiful and my husband and I enjoyed making smores by the fire pits in the evening. All of the little touches made this trip so memorable and worthwhile. We traveled often before having a child and now we are always seeking the perfect kind of vacation that works for us all. Here, we found it. Thank you, Carmel Valley Ranch for providing top notch service and accomodations. We relaxed, we adventured, and we truly felt the bliss of vacation during our stay. We will be back!
