both are equally inconvenient to Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Carmel Valley is often hot & unpleasant during summer.
Highlands has the views.
Highlands 30 minutes down to Pfeiffer, Post Ranch Inn & Ventana for lunch & drinks, and redwoods hikes.
twice as far from Carmel Valley.
globalist TSU suite Highlands is damn near perfect - the views, the fireplace.
globalist breakfast Highlands is outstanding.
if i ever tried Carmel Valley, i think i'd be kicking myself the whole time for choosing poorly.
I stay for under $200/n at Highlands w/ a corporate rate.
Carmel Valley is far more expensive.
I've stayed at Carmel Valley Ranch for work and it's one of my most favorite stays ever. Although it is far from Carmel-by-the-sea, the reason to stay here is of all the onsite activities and things to do in within the resort. My SO very much enjoyed their free lavender workshop, and smores in the evening. It's much more than just a hotel. Check out their activity calendar, they have daily events going on and will give you a better idea on which hotel you'd rather stay.
