This was our second time staying at this absolutely beautiful, historic property. We love Asilomar for its quiet and comfortable atmosphere and its close proximity to Pebble Beach, Carmel, downtown Pacific Grove and Monterey. Just keep in mind this is not a “resort.” There’s no valet parking, spas (there is an older pool on the far edge of the grounds), or Michelin-starred restaurants. You won’t find a refrigerator, microwave, or even a telephone or television in the guest rooms. The rooms we’ve stayed in each visit were clean and comfortable, and reminiscent of a room in a rustic mountain cabin. We always see deer when we walk the pathways around the property. In the evening we enjoy making the short walk out to Asilomar Beach to take in the gorgeous sunsets. We highly recommend this place, and plan to return later in the year.
