I loved their wine and scotch social, while the kids enjoyed the desserts. The spa was lovely with all the amenities, steam, sauna, and hot tub.

I'm not sure how to express how amazing my recent stay was at Casa Palmero. From the top notch…read moreservice to perfectly crisp linens, I have zero complaints. Zero. Located on hole 2 of the pebble beach golf course, Casa Palemro is perfect for those of you looking to stay on property but have a bit of privacy too. There are 24 casitas/rooms, an epic spa and great little cafe on property if you're looking to keep it a bit healthy. They also have a great happy hour from 5-7 if you're staying in property and it's full of stiff drinks and great apps. Massive shout outs to Dave & Michael for being such gracious and attentive staff members. They truest made the week special and took the overall experience to the next level. Thanks a bunch, we will see you next year!

We really wanted to love this restaurant. We love steakhouses and dine at them frequently, so we…read morecame in genuinely excited for the experience. Unfortunately, this just wasn't it. We had a 5:00 p.m. reservation on a Thursday for two and were the only guests in the restaurant when we arrived. We asked if we could sit in one of the bench-style booths and were told they would need the table back by 7:00 p.m. We understood they may have had later reservations, but considering the restaurant was completely empty at the time we arrived and left and we had a reservation ourselves, the interaction didn't feel particularly welcoming. The biggest disappointment was the food. It simply had very little flavor. The rib cap was the highlight of the meal and was good, but the filet mignon was underwhelming and not particularly memorable. The broccolini also had almost no flavor. We kept wanting to love the food and waiting for something to really stand out, but unfortunately nothing did. What ultimately left the worst impression was how uncomfortable we felt by the end of the evening. As we were leaving, we noticed some of the team members sneering in our direction. I can't speak to their intentions, but it left us with an unpleasant feeling as we walked out and put an unfortunate ending on an already disappointing experience. We're accustomed to dining at steakhouses and know what a great steakhouse experience can be. It isn't just about the steak it's the hospitality, attention to detail, quality of the food, and how you feel while you're there. Sadly, this experience missed the mark. We genuinely wanted to love it, but we left disappointed and uncomfortable. This just wasn't the experience we expected.

I had the baked scallops with melted cheese. They were ok. I was pleasantly surprised by the sautéed kale side with mushroom. Very tasty. The service staff were busy but very friendly. We had to park in the street as a wedding was held on the premise at the time. It is a great, relaxing, romantic place to visit.

Carmel Mission Basilica (formal name 'San Carlos Borroméo de Carmelo') is one of six minor…read morebasilicas in the state of California (five being former Spanish missions). It is the oldest one, founded in 1770, and elevated to basilica status by Pope John XXIII in 1960. My wife, her mom, and I visited it during a late Sunday afternoon during our first day in Carmel, and found it to be a great, worthwhile experience, especially if one is Roman Catholic. The basilica is still a working parish, so parking during non-mass hours was easy to find. A ticket booth was set-up at the visitor entrance, with cost of $15 per adult ($13 for senior). There is an adjacent gift shop that doesn't require admission and sells all the various religious items that one would expect from a religious tourist attraction. We ended up spending about 90 minutes here (there is a lot of information here, along with a lot to see). -- Founding priest was Junipero Serra ("Apostle of California"). He was canonized by Pope Francis in 2015, and his shrine/remains are interned here. -- Only U.S. church visited by a pontiff during a papal visit: Pope John Paul II in 1987. He paid homage to Father Serra, and laid flowers at the tomb. This visit is clearly commemorated. -- the Munras Family Heritage Museum is worth going to, to see a short movie about the prominent Monterey family, along with early California artifacts from the family. -- the Nativity scene was one of the most intricate -- the large courtyard is a good place to stop and admire the architecture of a California Spanish mission, along with a thick trunk Cork Oak tree By the time we were leaving, the ticket office had closed (last call is at 16:30, to allow everyone to have enough time before official close at 18:00).

It is also the final resting spot of Saint Junipero Serra, the Founding Father of California. Pope John Paul II visited here in 1987 and is recognized in the Our Lady of Bethlehem Chapel, which is a beautiful, small chapel with a confessional from years ago. The Mission Cemetery is the final resting place for some members of this Parish. It also includes a symbolic cemetery representing the hundreds of indigenous people buried here and the surrounding area. These grave sites are adorned with abalone shells as an honorary recognition of their cultural presence to the area. There are several museums on site, beautiful artwork and religious artifacts as well as an extensive courtyard to wander around. Finally, there is a display of the final resting place for Saint Junipero as well as reproductions of other parts of the Basilica back in the day. The price of $15 for adults/$12 for seniors may be a little steep for families, but it is worthwhile to explore the history of the renowned Basilica.

B: no mini fridge, to keep those Lucious left overs from one of the great restaurants in town, for a snack later. what a waste of good food. C: the room we stayed in shared a wall with the kitchen on one side, and the street on the other side. There was a constant LOUD blend of heavy equipment banging, clinking, and clattering along with bustling staff chatter from the kitchen. Plus, just when I thought there would be a moment of peace and quiet the mini split AC cycled like a jet engine. Not very relaxing at all! We had booked a two night stay, After the first night, with no sleep (then going to our event, feeling like crap, and trying to enjoy the day), that evening we went into the room, listened to the same awful noises, packed our stuff and forfeited our second night, we gave up spending the next day with friends enjoying Carmel, because the thought of driving 4 hours home at night sounded better than one more night of torture. I would NOT have booked had I have known ahead of time there was not a mini fridge, or parking, top that with the kitchen noise and I regret ever booking with the cypress inn. There are many hotels in town, with parking, mini fridges, and quiet rooms for a lot less money.

We had an intimate group of 34 which felt perfect at The Perry House (though they can certainly accommodate much larger groups than ours). The venue itself has so much coastal charm already that you don't feel overwhelmed with needing to infuse a lot of personality through decor. At the same time, it can still be transformed with florals and any additional decor elements. It was truly the best of both worlds. Our venue provided coordinator Alyssa was fantastic to work with! She answered so many of our questions and was always quick to respond over email. The catering provided by the venue was phenomenal and all of our guests raved about the food. We went with the New York steak and tarragon crusted salmon as our entrees and they were even better than we remembered at our tasting. Since we had a small guest count we even got to add on a slew of extra desserts to reach our food and beverage minimum and additional decor/rental items which was great because it felt like every dollar went towards something. They were even accommodating to our specific signature cocktail requests which were off-menu and our specific NA beer requests. Everything the day of the wedding went smoothly and without a hitch.
