Jan 12, 2026Construction Zone – Avoid Until Spring 2026
I wish I had known the extent of the renovations before booking. The property is currently undergoing a massive overhaul that isn't slated for completion until Spring 2026, and it significantly impacts the guest experience. - Closed Amenities: The main lobby entrance, the pool, and the spa are all completely closed. (Services available in a "satellite" spa and you can use the pool at the nearby country club - River Ranch) - Logistics: The nearest available pool and gym can be up to a 1.2-mile walk from your room. This is not the "resort" experience you pay for. - Atmosphere: The property is crawling with construction workers, both on the grounds and throughout the lobby area. If you are looking for a quiet, luxury getaway, stay elsewhere until the work is finished. As it stands, this is a construction site, not a retreat.

Jan 09, 2026Great place for family vacation
Great atmosphere, beautiful and relaxing. Spacious and clean room. Many activities for kids to enjoy: swimming pool, tennis, kids club, movie room, etc. Stuff are very friendly and responsive. Grazing with goat was such a memorable joy for the whole family. Plus food is amazing!

Jan 03, 2026Beautiful but disappointing
Was really looking forward to our stay but overall felt underwhelmed and disappointed. The room was nice and spacious. The layout of the hotel is very spacious so be ready for walking and going up/down hill and to navigate the grounds in the dark (signage not so visible with the small lamps). Overall the service was not on par with what you pay. There’s a texting service for any questions you have. Unfortunately we were ignored multiple times. The food at Valley Kitchen is very good but the service is also disappointing. The grounds are beautiful and being able to see the animals up close was very special. One of the most dog-friendly hotels and that was also very cool! Overall though, I think we will explore other spots rather than come back to Carmel Valley Ranch due to the service.

Really fabulous even when things aren’t perfect- great team of nice people- unparalleled kids experiences in nor cal
This is our fourth or fifth time staying, not including visiting friends and family staying here. It’s perfect for families!! We used to come as a couple and loved the wine/cheese/beekeeping/resort vibes in total safety. As a family it was soo amazing. The kids activities are a blast! Little ranchers with joss and Jain was superbly adorable even with rain! Jeff and Sophia were great trying to accommodate when a reservation went sideways and with everything else. The breakfast buffet is free for toddlers and so yummy. The resort has a gated/guarded entrance. You take a golf cart and shuttle around (or walk/drive). It was super rainy otherwise my Todd would have used a scooter. There are so many pools. They’re all heated like most of the day and night. The kids area is perfect. Really every amenity you could need. Compared to what things cost in the Bay Area you get so much more. Excited to be back- also perfect for family reunions and friend handouts (so many large groups of friends this trip).

Great for families or couples!
This is the perfect stay whether you’re with family or a couple. CVR offers so many activities on-campus beyond the golf-course itself; my husband and I loved the corral and all the animal experiences (as did my nephew). Spa Aiyana was also wonderfully relaxing. I also really appreciated that it’s so dog-friendly, so that our pup wouldn’t have to be boarded while we were away. Overall, we loved spending our winter holiday here and plan to be back soon so we can pack in more of the excursions!
