Reviews for Carmel Valley Ranch
Great resort, not so great food or customer service
The resort was great, lots of amenities, great for the kids, the food is subpar at the pool. One incident happened at the pool and the manager assured me that he would be in touch and I never heard back from them.

Great stay in Carmel area
Carmel Valley ranch was beautiful. The resort is a bit dated but the setting makes up for it. We played golf one afternoon and enjoyed it thoroughly. Only complaint was the service was slow in the restaurant and the schedule of the provided shuttle that runs through the resort. This resort is on the top of a hill and walking to the different areas can be a challenge for some. Knowing when the shuttles are coming and going would be a nice improvement.

Good property but not as expected to be a category 8
The property is maintained well. The staffs in the activities are experienced and friendly. However, there are several things that I don't believe this resort is a category 8 level resort. 1. Wrong bill for checks - our final invoice has a dinner check we never ordered; 2. not a great place for young kids -> no place to take naps when the late checkout is unavailable 3. I filled information before hands but there is no follow ups on activities recommendations and how to attend those activities 4. safety issues: when we were having breakfast at the restaurant with a 2-year-old. We were brought to a couch with low tables. No high chair is available and it is very easy that the 2-year-old falling off the couch. I think all those details need to be improved to demonstrate this is a high end family friendly resort.

Stunning views, beautiful rooms, excellent service
The whole place is stunning, from the golf course to the vineyard. There are activities planned at all times, including hikes and bonfire smores. Our room was beautiful and super clean, and we enjoyed a beautiful clear view of the hills and golf course. Our only regret was not booking another night.
