This place is unbelievable. Everywhere is a photo op for Paradise. Great staff, excellent service, spacious & luxurious accomodations, no expense spared here! But not stuff, you always feel welcomed like family here. More

I stayed for a weekend at Carmel Valley Ranch in August of 2011, on a solo trip to escape the brutal Texas summer. After a cold and rainy stay in (charming) Carmel by the Sea, I took a 15 min cab ride into Carmel Valley and the sky opened up to a perfect 70 degree day. The grounds are beautiful... More

My sister, mom and I stayed for three nights at this lovely property. The property is gated when you drive up with security. The drive to check in had lots of deer and wild turkeys along the drive. The lodge has a huge stone fireplace as you enter and there is a gift shop, restaurant and bar area along with... More

My husband and I decided to take our children to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for a family vacation a few days before new years. We have a 2 year old and a 4 year old, so we need SPACE! We reserved a Garland suite and there was enough room for all of us! The room was beautiful with a living... More

It is so amazing to live in Northern California and be so close to a world class destination such as Carmel. We've stayed at many places over the years in Carmel for those weekend getaways but none surpasses our most recent stay at the newly renovated Carmel Valley Ranch. We are a family of four (2 elementary aged children) and... More

This is our family's happy place.... the resort is gorgeous and panoramic views of the valley are breathtaking. There is something for everyone: tennis, basketball and swimming for the teens; kitchen adventure and pilates for mom; hiking trails for dad; bee experience for everyone! Do not miss the infinity hot tub at sunset with s'mores by the outdoor fire pit... More

Stayed here for a three-night vacation. The resort and what it had to offer was perfect for our family of four, from age four onwards (including our rather large Lab). The service was flawless. We stayed in their Ranch suite, with a fairly decent view overlooking the trees and the valley (suite 231). As previous reports suggest, there are a... More
