Carmel Valley Ranch

Not the best experience went there to propose to my girlfriend on multiple occasions I let the front desk know that we will be arriving andthe surprise is to stay only for one night to not let us know that we’re staying for two I called three times to make sure that they knew that was a surprise. They assured me that it would be right when I arrive to check in immediately they say you’re staying for two nights, ruining the surprise and ruining the proposal there was nothing doneto kind of make up for that. If anything nothing done at all just for proposing in general the staff wasn’t very friendly. Let us in wrong direction a couple times when asking for directions the food not great. Our friends tried sending us champagne for our proposal to celebrate it eventually arrived but with a lot of difficulty, and then thehotel, then tried to take credit for something. Our friends did not a great experience at all

What a beautiful hillside location, part oak forest and part vineyard. Wonderful attentive staff. Spacious suite, comfortable bed, cozy robe and slippers to use. We came for a September wedding, and noticed a few more dogs and preschoolers than we expected. Very accommodating if that's who you travel with. Not sure why I found it so charming to have a bottle filler by the valet stand, but it sure was handy to know where to get fresh filtered water at all times!

Briana, was our Hostess at the Lodge at Carmel Valley Ranch. She couldn't have been nicer. Seated us promptly and with a great smile. She cared about our allergies and dietary restrictions and made sure we were taken care of. We felt very well taken care of by Briana. thank you!

Beautiful setting located in a terrain consisting of an interlocking mosaic of chaparral and California oak woodland. The local trails provide amazing views. Some rooms feel like small condos. Wild deer and turkeys frequently visited the area around our room. Shuttle service is easy and convenient. The Loge restaurant menu needs a little more variety. Pool and spa at the lodge are first class. Staff was friendly and helpful. I'm not interested in golf but I think golfers would love this place. The fitness center was four stars. They board a variety of farm animals at the corral located at the property's upper elevation. I appreciated the enthusiasm of the staff working at the corral.

Terrible experience two times in a row. Non-working shower. No hot water, stinky shower, foam like substance on the floor, "engineering" claims to fix but doesn't. Finally moved rooms. Super stressful. Don't recommend.
