    comfortable bed
    complicated instructions
    lack of water

    comfortable bed, effective air conditioner, lovely garden areas

    Instructions for using the TV could be simplified, five steps just to turn it on!!! Also, it’s puzzling to not have bottled water available in the room.

    Our stay in Carmel was amazing! The decor in the room was stunning, and the bed felt like a cloud. The complimentary cookies were a delightful treat every day.

    easy access to art galleries and great dining options

    During our stay, we were pleasantly surprised by the proximity to charming art galleries just a few steps away and the vibrant dining scene, with amazing options like Katy's Place and La Dolce Vita Ristorante just around the corner, making it the perfect hub for our weekend strolls.

    spacious room
    delicious breakfast
    friendly staff
    water outage issue

    We had a fantastic time staying with friends! We loved visiting the local shops and exploring the stunning beach. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. A lovely cooler of breakfast treats was left outside our door every morning, which was a nice touch. Totally recommend!

    Unfortunately, we woke up to no water in the hotel, which was a bit inconvenient. It was challenging to get a shower before heading out for the day.

    beautiful room
    cozy fireplace
    nice jet tub
    late outdoor fireplace

    The room was beautiful and clean, and the fireplace was the perfect touch for relaxing nights. I loved enjoying the cozy jet tub and taking advantage of the lovely fire pit outside. They didn't turn on the outdoor fireplace until late in the day, but honestly, it’s a minor detail compared to how amazing everything else was. 😊

    Cozy and Inviting Stay

    We had a fantastic stay, enjoying the beautiful landscaping and spacious room equipped with a comfy bed and a fireplace. The fresh cookies at reception were a delightful treat. The location was perfect, just a short walk to shops and the beach. However, I wish the breakfast options were a bit more varied.

    tasty breakfast
    comfortable room
    noisy air conditioning
    limited breakfast variety
    lack of kettle

    The location was perfect for exploring the charming town, and the room was not only clean but also decorated with tasteful touches. Breakfast left at the door was a delightful surprise, offering a wholesome start to the day. However, there were some issues. the air conditioning unit was unexpectedly noisy, and I missed having a kettle for tea. The check-in process was seamless thanks to friendly staff, but a wider breakfast variety would have been appreciated.

    outdoor firepit
    welcoming ambiance

    Great spot for couples

    The outdoor firepit was a fantastic place to unwind after a long day and share some laughs with my partner. We especially loved how beautifully the room was set up with lights and music playing when we arrived. it felt so welcoming.

    It was a bit pricey, but not surprising given the quality.

    Comfortable room, friendly staff, with fruit and homemade cookies ready for us upon arrival and a convenient location only 90 km from Mineta San Jose International Airport.

    Breakfast options need improvement.

    lack of variety

    The Candle Light Inn was beautifully decorated, with cozy seating areas and well-maintained gardens. Its location made it easy to walk to the town center, which I appreciated as a senior traveler.

    A wider variety of breakfast options would be nice.

    limited breakfast options

    great location, but limited breakfast options

    The location made it easy to explore local shops and reach the beach, which was a highlight. The complimentary cookies and tea were a delightful touch that added to the experience. The jacuzzi in the room provided a relaxing escape after a long day of sightseeing. Each morning, I appreciated the cooler of breakfast treats outside my door. it was a nice surprise that added value to my stay.

    However, I felt the breakfast options could have been more varied to cater to different tastes.
