"The champagne breakfast was a total standout - absolutely delicious with made-to-order omelets, breakfast burritos, waffles, fresh pastries, and more."
"Beautiful property with excellent, attentive, professional staff. Great ammenities: champagne brunch (delicious), afternoon wine/sangria, evening fresh baked cookies plus free car service."
"The views of the grounds are spectacular, and the included champagne breakfasts were the most amazing spreads along with the evening wine tastings or sangria."

“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.”
