I have been coming to Pebble Beach since the mid 90's but did not discover Casa Palmero until much later. My wife and I are avid travellers and have stayed in the best hotels in the world. I can honestly tell you that if anyone finds Casa Palmero inferior to any of the best hotels of the world then they are not to be taken seriously.
What I like most about Casa is that the staff have remained consistent over the years. They truly make you feel like you are at home and go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. While you may not be facing Stillwater Bay which is a treat you should experience at least once, you are in a place that is truly relaxing. Everyone knows your name and makes you feel welcome. Cheryl; the manager, is one of the kindest people I know.
The rooms are luxurious and spacious and well appointed. The happy hour is very relaxing and you tend to meet very interesting people. If I had the smallest of complaints is that I have noticed a slight cutback in the quality of hors d'oeuvre in recent years. I know that the property has had tougher economic times the past couple of years.
The proximity to the Spa makes it very easy to have a daily steam or just relax by the fire. The treatments are wonderful and a great way to relax after a round of golf. For those guests who do not golf make sure to enjoy what the peninsula has to offer. Take a drive to Point Lobos or go a little further to Rocky Point for a nice cold beer while you watch the world go by. A day in Carmel is fun is you are a shopper or just walk along Carmel Beach.
DIning is wonderful, whether it is the Prime Rib Chili in the Pub or a great Italian dinner at Peppoli's, Pebble has so much to offer. Want a great steak, don't miss the Whaling Station.
I was just at Pebble for the first time in December and was amazed how great the weather was. It was a shame that Casa was closed for Dec and Jan. As I arrived in my room overlooking 18, I had a complimentary Cheese Tray and bottle of Red wine. NIce Touch as usual, thanks Cheryl, you are the best.
I will be back....
