Tickle Pink clearly has an loyal fan base, and from the visitors book it is obvious that many customers return year after year - for peace and quiet overlooking the calm Pacific, the comfort of the balcony and the log fire in the room (for when it gets chilly, which it does) this place ticks the boxes. A modest DVD... more

We truly appreciate the positive comments in this review. Indeed, many of our valued guests return year after year to re-experience the breathtaking views, plush accommodations, and complimentary amenities and services that we provide. It is always satisfying to listen to couples reminisce about honeymoons spent with us, and even more thrilling to help plan an engagement. We are fortunate...

We stayed one night in Carmel driving from SF down Big Sur. Loved the TPI! Bed was the most comfortable we've ever slept in - beautiful view & private room (Crow's Nest). more

The good: Beautiful location & great view; comfortable bed and linens; large soaking tub and marble bath; nice bath amenities; very clean; warm cookies, champagne and chocolates on arrival; large closet for suitcases and clothes; beautiful terrace for watching the sunset with good wine, cheese and friends! The bad: the water in the bathroom smelled and tasted bad; the champagne... more

My wife and I stayed at Tickle Pink based on tripadvisor recommendations of it being the top hotel in Carmel. We both liked it a lot, but I expected a little more for the price and tripadvisor rating. Upon arriving, we did receive complimentary champagne and chocolates which was nice. My only complaints: 1) It was very hot in the... more

My husband and I stayed at the Tickle Pink upon recommendation from a friend who has been going there for over ten years. All I can say is that the Inn is beautiful, the service impeccable, and the location is very picturesque and romantic. We stayed there one night on a trip up the coast of California, and it was... more

My husband and I arrived in Carmel after a beautiful five hour drive along the coast from Santa Barbara, CA for our honeymoon. We had decided we wanted a place to go that we could get to by car, avoiding airlines and such, and choose Carmel. We wanted to splurge on a hotel that would offer amenities like a fireplace,... more

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon night and the one after that before flying out to Hawaii…It did not disappoint, but rather exceeded my expectations! As we made our way up the private drive to this charming escape nestled in the cliffs, I could already smell the ocean and the flowers surrounding the balconies at the inn.... more

The reviews of this hotel are something of a mixed bag and I can see why. I really wanted to like this hotel and to a large extent I did. Our room was nicely done out and an OK size. Reception were helpful. The views from the balcony were lovely (when the fog wasn't in). They have a few nice... more

We are very sorry to have not lived up to this guest’s perceived standard of value. While we appreciate the positive aspects of this review (nicely done room, lovely views, appreciation of our wine and cheese reception, etc.), we would like to comment on a few of the points mentioned. While this guest did not enjoy the complimentary “sparkling wine”...

We loved the TPI, but this time, not so much. The last two visits we have been on the top floor. This time we were on the lower level right on the roadway. It wasn't the roadway that was so bad, it was the couple above us. Cigar spoke at sunset, ashes dropping on the chairs on the balcony (he... more
