“La Playa excels with its prime location near Carmel Beach and Ocean Avenue's shops, a strong advantage. I note the blend of historic charm and recent modern renovations, plus the relaxing courtyard setting. While some construction noise and dining costs have been raised, the genuinely hospitable staff and complimentary wine receptions still make it a destination I'd consider returning to.”
