Carmel Valley Ranch has always been an escape with plenty of room to roam, to explore, to discover. Where people rekindle romances, reunite with friends and family, revive spirits, or simply get away and play. And these days, play is more important than ever. Our all-suite accommodations are where the luxury of resort living meets the call of the wild. Swap stories by the fireplace. Gaze at the stars from your private deck as you savor a glass of wine from our own vineyard. You’ll be comfy, carefree, and most of all, captivated. The only Pete Dye-designed bentgrass golf course in Northern California is right here at Carmel Valley Ranch, and no matter how you slice it (or hook it), this par-70 layout offers something for all players: tactical shots, dramatic elevation changes and incredible scenery. Our talented artisans add a unique twist to experiences at The Ranch—join them and hang out with horses, say hello to honeybees, greet our goats, and more.

Reviews for Carmel Valley Ranch
Beautiful Grounds, but some issues with room
The main part (lodge) and property grounds are beautiful and amazing. We had a less than expected experience especially compared to the other hotel we stayed at nearby. The hotel was busy and I received a text the morning of check in that our room would be ready by 4 but that it would be busy. we arrived after 4pm and the room was still not ready. We had to wait awhile and got into the room after 6pm. I was told that it took a little longer because the room was being inspected. Well, the bedding (rollaway and sofa bed) were dirty. The sofa bed linens had not been changed at all and there were dead insects in the roll away (could have been from transport). We were given a food credit for the delay in the check in which was nice. However, with the issue with the dirty room coupled with loyalty status I would have appreciated an offer to upgrade us. Our room floor was dirty and every time my family walked barefoot our feet would turn black. The shower head was a regular head attached to the ceiling and the shower water ran into the toilet area adjacent to the shower (toilet area is surrounded by clear glass door????- that is a really bad design). The staff were very friendly, but despite the nice staff and the beautiful grounds, I would not recommend this property based on lack of cleanliness for such a high award category.

Idyllic retreat property, luxurious accomodations and delicious F&B
I would stay forever, if I could. Top notch luxury retreat setting with no shortage of relaxation and adventure. Truly no need to leave this idyllic setting! Cannot wait to return with my whole family.

Would go again
Pleasant place to stay! Very nice location with fun activities for kids and adults. Staff very helpful and friendly. Did not expect to be awoken by turkeys outside my door but gave it that glamping flair!!

Best experience
The absolute best hotel, best staff and experience. My 6yr old daughter had the time of her life. There is a long list of activities to choose from. If you don’t want to do an activity you can spend your entire day at River Ranch.
