Carmel Valley Ranch

saltwater pool, great service, amazing suite, tennis , s'mores , wild turkeys and lots of deer. loved our get away from the city - 2 hr drive and we could bring the dog!!

Ask for a suite with a view and definitely use the fireplace (it has a timer which is so delightful!)

There's simply no reason to ever leave such a beautiful locale. The Ranch offers every activity you could imagine, is tucked away from any sort of road or plane noise, and the skies are crystal clear.

The suites are HUGE. Nice hiking trails and golf . Attentive staff . Solid food. Great pool area . S'mores !!

Wild turkeys and great for kiddos. Service is hit or miss (particularly during the Sunday brunch rush)

My favorite resort in Carmel! Great place to hang out for a relaxing vacation. Excellent customer service!

Adore this incredible Ranch! Come and stay and you'll never want to leave.

Great weekend destination for Bay Area residents. No need to leave the resort that has tennis , golf , spa , fantastic restaurant , and excellent service.

Absolutely amazing hotel . The king ranch suites are beyond awesome

Chill , Relax and drink a Coba while you enjoy your stay! Tamarindo , Mango , Jamaica and Guayaba sound amazing to us!

It was an amazing place. My advice is to stay more than 1 night.

No need for dessert - just go outside to the poolside firepitts for s'mores . Yes, just as good as when you're little!

Evening s'mores - not just for kids!!

Make time for the Bee experience!????

Gorgeous grounds and spa . But disappointing service with respect to reservations at lodge restaurant . Long wait times on phone and limited ability to accommodate.

If you're a Vegan , know that the lodge creates a Vegan fest to make any carnivore jealous. Ask Chef Tim about it.

Revolving list of activities includes everything from evening s'mores to an up-close look at a bee colony.

Guests can partake in the "Bee Experience" and see what its like to a be a beekeeper at the ranch.

I attended music camp next door as a kid and, being a tennis player, loved the musical sound of tennis balls being hit.

There’s a s’mores bar every night.

Hope you like marshmallows !

Ahi salad is great for lunch or dinner !

Wifi available basically everywhere. Pool/jacuzzi near the lobby open 24 hours

The swings are fun

Fresh Salmon for dinner , then snorrs over the fire!
