My third stay at The Inn at Spanish Bay, and it remains one of my favorite coastal retreats. Two rounds at The Links at Spanish Bay reminded me why I keep coming back -- a thoughtful, challenging course set against an unforgettable Pacific backdrop. Timeless setting, gracious service, and the tradition of the sunset bagpiper never lose their charm. Looking forward to returning again in June -- some places simply become a tradition. read more

We came for the amazing views and drinks on the spacious patio fire pits as part of our rest stop along the 17-mile drive. The beautiful lobby and ocean views were a nice respite along the way. Menus were placed around the fire pits offering a selection of drinks and bar bites. We enjoyed Irish coffees, whiskey, and Fire Cider while soaking in the sun and watching the ocean waves. However, I'm taking one star off for our ill-tempered server who ignored our request for waters after a couple of times asking. Overall, this place is definitely worth the stop along the drive. read more

We came for the bagpiper and had a club sandwich. We sat outside on the patio. They had a heater next to our table. The sandwich was HUGE and had a ton of fries. It's very good quality. Our server didn't check on us and we had to go to the bar to get water refills. There is free self parking at the hotel. read more

Amazing event space for the Monterey County Boy & Girls Club - Comics for Kids event. A first rate event. The food was amazing. Braised short ribs were freaking amazing. I really enjoyed the pre=reception area with complementary wine and light appetizers, that include a meat and cheese display and also an ahi-tuna bit that was excellent as well. A wonderful event space for any organization and/or corporate event to showcase their company. read more

Incredible hotel. From check-in to check-out, the service was outstanding. The rooms are very clean, up-to-date and comfortable without being stuffy. I appreciated the in-room fireplace and free snacks. Plus, the setting is stunning. Pricey but justified. read more

The view, the food, the service, the convenience, the entertainment (often have music and the bagpipes daily), makes this stop a must for anyone visiting the area. To here are also shops. Roy's is fantastic, but even just appetizers and drinks around the fire pits is a great place to spend your evening. The sunsets are epic! read more

We stayed here for several days to play the golf courses in the area. It was a wonderful place to stay. Upon checking in, we were upgraded to an ocean side room and it came with outstanding views. Our room was on the fairway of the first hole of the course so I could watch the golfers from our deck. We were also right along the path of the bagpipe player so we could see her start on the first tee and watch her as she made her way down the first hole, past our room. Almost like a personal concert. Deer were often seen on the course through our room windows. Our room was spacious. The bed was so cozy and comfy. Free snacks and sofa was replenished daily. Our first day there it was hot but the next few were chilly and the in-room fire place provided welcome warmth. There was turn down service each night with a couple chocolates as a night cap. We even took advantage of the free Lexus car rental for a couple of hours to take a scenic tour of the area in a LC 500 convertible. So fun! After golf one day, we were looking for a snack and a cocktail and ended up on the hotel patio overlooking the ocean. Again great service and food. Valet was awesome. Such great service. A service charge was added to our bill each day to accommodate tipping of valet, housekeeping, etc. Golf and restaurants not included. Hotel staff was very helpful and welcoming. Loved our stay here. read more

Perfect afternoon at Spanish Bay! Sat outside in the fog by the firepit so it was toasty warm. For lunch I had a huge burger and my friend had Bavarian sausage and pretzel. Wow that was good! I had to try it!! Then we walked down a trail to beach. As always, the service was perfect!! read more

Had cocktails and apps here and it was by far the most breathtaking view in the Monterey peninsula. Overlooks the links and pebble beach and a bagpiper plays every evening around the 6 PM hour. I highly recommend it. Service was also very good. read more

I came here with a few friends to have a drink and see the bagpipe player close the golf course at sunset on a Saturday evening. We arrived around 4:30pm. The outdoor seating was totally packed. There was one empty table (with no chairs) that stood around. All this being said, plan ahead and get here early. The four of us ordered cocktails. They were all very good, although a bit stronger than I expected! The bagpiper was wonderful; it was really a treat to listen to such great music while watching the sun set. read more

Absolutely in my top three all time best places to stay. The staff, service, food and amenities were exceptional on my recent stay here. The shuttle is very prompt and will easily accommodate any needs you may have for short trips around the area. The room size and interiors are first class and provide amazing views as seen in my pic. The fitness room and pool are very nice as well. So much to do, I only regret having three nights here. read more

My husband and I stayed at the Spanish Bay 2008. Can't believe it's been that long ago, but the great memories still linger. At that time the price for the room was $850 a night. It had a fireplace, a view of the Pacific Ocean, every evening a bagpiper strolled along the grounds. Everything in the wet bar was free, except the hotel memorabilia items. We were there at Christmas, it was so charming, I'd highly recommend if you get a chance go at Christmas. read more

We came here after driving around the 17 mile drive. We were going to have dinner here at Roys. We roamed around the premises a bit. The patio and garden area was lovely. Perfect to sit around and have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The best thing about it is the view of the course and the ocean. So peaceful. The kids and our dog enjoyed running around. Next time, we will check in, reading the reviews seems like it is quite a stay at this place. read more

My husband and I recently stayed there for his Birthday and Valentines Day. We were promised strawberries to our room that were supposed to be there by time we checked in. They never arrived. We called front desk and they said they will send someone to send them and they still never arrived. We were fed multiple lies. After complaining to management the dining room manager Jeuro said he would mail my husband a Spanish Bay golf towel. We said we do not want anything from Pebble Beach. Jeuro said no problem he will mail a Spanish Bay towel for the mishap from the strawberries. We checked the mail a couple days later and cheap quality Pebble Beach towel came. Stay far away from this resort has they have no idea how to treat their guests or follow simple instructions. You're better off at The Hilton where they treat each guest like a family member. read more

Great service and beautiful view from the lobby bar. Outdoor seating is great. Bagpiper plays 30 min before sunset and is amazing. Great ambiance and good food too. Highly recommend the signature Manhattan to drink. read more

Super posh and nice hotel. The rooms are big with balconies. The bathroom is extras large as well with a tub and a stand up shower. The rooms is equipped with a coffee maker and hot water kettle. They have a fridge full of drinks for purchase. Bath robes and slippers are provided. No valet at this time of Covid. Self parking only. They have a Roy's Restaurant in the property as well as a Pebble Beach Golf/Gift shop. They have a Sand bag Piper who plays and walks around the golf area around 4:45 pm for 1 hour. Pretty cool to watch. read more

First let me say, I am a local. I celebrated my birthday out by the fire pits with friends on a Sunday evening. We got there about a half hour before the guests arrived to order family size platers of the items on the menu. When I told the server what we were doing she sent the manager over and he offered to set up a couple tables to put the appetizers on, complete with heat lamps for the hot items. The server, Gabe, came over and introduced himself and catered to my every request. I can't say enough nice things about this magical evening. The bagpiper arrived at 4:30 to top off a beautiful celebration. read more

The renovated rooms at the Inn and new lobby are very bright and welcoming. From the moment you arrive at the Inn, you are greeted by a friendly bellman and then escorted inside to the check-in desk. Our keys were ready and our bags were taken to our room upon arrival. The lobby has a very open feel and breathtaking view of the water and golf course. Roy's is also off of the lobby as well as an outdoor patio with fire pit. I loved my stay at the Inn and it is one of the most beautiful places I have been to. ROOMS: Updated with brighter fluffy bedding, fridge with snacks and drinks (certain snacks like chips are complimentary), coffee machine, fireplace, large TV and desk area. The bathrooms and dressing area are huge and I loved the deep Kohler bathtub. The towels are large and plush and the toiletries from Pebble Beach spa are very invigorating. They do come in sizes over 3 oz though so check your bag or use the products there. The artwork in the hallways is also very unique and is decorated with local cypress trees and scenes from area. There is a turn-down service where slippers, water and chocolate are laid out. RESTAURANTS: We dined at both Peppoli and Roy's and both were outstanding. VIEWS: Oceanview rooms are the most scenic and you can see the golf course and water. All in all, the Inn is a beautiful place to stay with the most gorgeous views and surroundings. The dining is amazing and staff extremely hospitable. You can purchase US open and Pebble Beach attire at the shops and stay where the best golf players in the world have stayed. read more

AMAZING does not fully describe our weekend here. We have not stayed at any resort or hotel since March 2020 so wanted to make sure the next place we do stay at is safe and respectful of our healthy and safety. AND this resort surely did. Best weekend to be here! Best service! Best resort! COVID social distance respected and accepted in every part of the hotel. The moment we arrived, it has been nonstop compliments from us about this hotel. We drive up, a few attendants are there to help you out of the car and also get your bags. Due to COVID, you will have to park your car but it's not very far. You go in to check in, touchless. You're given your key and follow a host who walks you to the room. All the rooms are huge and spread out to we had a little walk to our room but did not mind at all. The bellman had our cart with luggage right in back of us. Room 1522, you are perfect! Fairway, huge room, and uber clean. We did a wipe down with our own disinfecting wipes and now we unpack and ready to unwind and enjoy every park of the resort. There's many walkways for you to get to the shoreline. It's not crowded so you can really enjoy the peace and quiet and feel like a real get away. We did room service for food from Roy's. Cannot complain at all. Remember the food is delivered in to-go containers but we were ok with that. I didn't want to leave but had to go. Will definitely want to come back soon whenever I need a nice staycation read more

A gorgeous hotel that is more relaxed than the main Pebble Beach hotel. The rooms were spacious and immaculately cleaned, I loved having a door right out to the grounds. The complimentary Lexus rental feature is a fantastic way to explore downtown Carmel. read more

Excitedly, my daughter and I went to the back door seating area to enjoy some appetizers and watch the bagpiper. We've been coming for 20 years to watch!! However, because we sat in the closed section, I was rudely told to move and sit in the open section. In addition, the person working there YELLED at me to put back the menu where I was seated, with a mad look on her face. I was SHOCKED! I believe she did this because she was RACIST! Get this! She has brown skin and black hair like me!! I guess she thought she could speak to two brown women in a disrespectful manner. She would have NEVER spoken to me like that had I had white skin. I was shocked to be treated so disrespectfully at this fine establishment in the twenty-first century. I have never been treated this badly in all the twenty years I've been coming here!! read more

Very nice resort. Doormen you're greet you at the door. When you check in they walk you all the way to your room. Very nice restaurants and bar. The rooms are warm and mine had a nice fireplace. The view was spectacular. Good coffee and fresh muffins for sale in the morning. read more

Oh Spanish Bay, how I love thee. Bath towels so big, thick and soft you want them for your home. (But we didn't) A king-size bed with warm blankets and a plush comforter almost guarantee a great night sleep. A gas fireplace not only warms up the room, but provides ambiance. Rooms are very, very large. I recommend spending a few dollars extra for an ocean view room on the bottom floor. From there you can open your sliding door and walked directly out onto the grass, the golf course or even the beach a few hundred yards away. Hotel staff including porters, valets and maids are all friendly and willing to help with whatever you need. I really enjoyed the hotel bar. They have a great selection of wine from throughout California's coastal regions. Self parking is free but valet parking is also free. Gratuity is included in your stay. I want to come back again soon. read more

GO HERE TO WATCH THE SUNSET. You must go when the bagpipes are playing, starts at 545 pm. The crowd is very bougie. Like if you're nails are chipped people might look at you crazy. Drinks are expensive nothing special. But, the view, the milieu was just so wonderful..it's something that must be experienced by everyone. Ig - masturplater read more

We came to watch the nightly tradition of the closing of the course with the bagpipe player. It was packed! They have lots of tables and lounge area outside with fire pits and heaters and a lovely view! It can get chilly fast, so dress in layers! We ventured inside for a fabulous meal at Roys. Excellent meal of fresh grilled fish...(try the pineapple martini, too!) We took an Uber out here and back from our hotel in downtown Monterey. We suggest pre scheduling your return ride since it is about 15 min away, seamless experience! read more

I'll start out by saying that I have now stayed once at both The Lodge at Pebble Beach and the Inn at Spanish Bay. Both properties are owned by Pebble Beach Resorts but offer subtle differences in experience. While the Lodge feels more intimate with a small Check In area and no real lobby to speak of, the Inn resembles a more classic hotel experience with a sizeable lobby/lounge area, lots of patio space with fire pits and even a ballroom. Each resort has its place. Both are pricey but, imho, both properties are worth the splurge. If I were to review the Inn on its own I would give it 4.5 stars (rounded to 5). The hotel itself is beautiful. The concierge staff was amazing with my family. The rest of the staff also exemplified great service. The rooms were well appointed, housekeeping did a great job, dining on property was good as well. My family stayed over New Years weekend and, while the weather was not very cooperative, I can still say we all had a great time, from experiencing the bagpiper at sunset to NYE dinner at Hay's Place, to visiting the Monterey Bay aquarium only 15 min away. Now, if I were framing this review as the Lodge vs. the Inn, I think the Lodge edges the Inn out slightly. When it comes to view, I think the Lodge wins. It is sort of situated overlooking a cove and the 18th green and is much closer to the beach. While the views at The Inn are also lovely, I can't help but feel like I'm a little too far away from the water. Also on this subject, be aware that forest view may really just refer to a a view of a few trees, scenic view will give you a look at a sliver of ocean and the balconies of other rooms and anything below that you might be staring at a parking lot. Both resorts demonstrated great service but I feel like they really went above and beyond at The Lodge (separate review) while at The Inn we had to kind of persuade/negotiate things a bit more. The Inn, however, wins when it comes to proximity to Monterey and Carmel. This made eating or doing things off resort significantly easier. And it was more alive in general which was great when trying to entertain our daughter while it was too wet to go outside. I should also mention we did get a discounted rate at the Inn which was nice. So overall, I'll be back im sure. And I would still recommend staying here. Next time I'll probably pick a different room and hopefully the weather will cooperate more. Or maybe I'll check out the Lodge. Honestly, you can't really lose either way. read more

I was not a guest here, so I can not speak to any of that. However, I thoroughly enjoyed some wine on the patio while waiting for the infamous bag piper to give the nightly performance. It was chilly, but blankets are provided and there are several fire pits that were putting off the heat. My suggestion though is to grab one of the tables down on the grass because that's where the bag piper will finish his performance- right in front of you. Beautiful views. Walk the trails or head to the beach for a walk afterwards. read more

If you are looking for a perfectly cooked meal and some of the best cocktails on the west coast, do yourself a favor by stopping into traps at Spanish Bay and ask for Jenn. My wife and I make it a point to stop into the best restaurants and bars every time we're in a new state and we will most definitely be coming back every chance we get thanks to the amazing hospitality and experience that Spanish Bay offers. Jenn was not only very kind but also very knowledgeable. She had amazing detailed descriptions of the menu and her knowledge regarding alcohol is unmatched. She even had some amazing recommendations for fun things to do while we were in town for vacation. If I could offer more than 5 stars I would! We will definitely be back! read more

This Review is for the outside patio area where there are fire pits, a lawn, and an outside open seated bar all with fan-freaking-tastic views of the beautiful coastline. One star lost for not being very wheelchair friendly - the lobby is - but the spectacular fire pit patio beyond the lobby, is not. It costs 10.50 to get into the 17 mile drive forest which takes you to the hotel, there is guest parking outside of the hotel lobby, and some nights they even have jazz, that can be very lively and fun. I go to relax by the fire pits, Ive used their complimentary blankets, too, which is awesome to have. I have a glass of wine and the hummus. Vegan or plant based tip *substitute the Naan bread for veggies (they do not have vegan/dairy-free options otherwise - hence another 1 star down. I saw the impossible burger on the menu last night but the server said it was not vegan. Not just "vegan" but how many thousands of people are lactose intolerant? Restaurants should get with it, faster). The hummus plate included a nice heap of the hummus, fresh made and very good, as well as; celery sticks, carrot sticks, a nice splattering of mixed olives, large slices of cucumber, and tomatoes, sitting atop a small bit of arugula. It's pretty good. Last night I had a beer and hummus, and my server was good. People-watched, and watched the sunset. A magical place. read more

Awesome!! No other words can describe the 3 night stay and golf we enjoyed at the Inn. Service was over the top especially when the employees referred to you by name. With 2 teen boys we had adjoining rooms so there was space to spread out. Each room had a timed fireplace which we used frequently for the chilly mornings and evenings. Shuttle service is available to each of the golf courses on the half hour. The courses are challenging and since the LPGA was just over the weekend the roughs had not been trimmed back yet. Add in the morning fog and you cannot see your drives off the first several holes. Challenge!! Roy's Restaurant was the usual good food and service. All in all, you expect a lot for the money you spend and you get more than that here. read more

Always a lovely place to eat and enjoy a drink on the patio in front of the fire. The sliders were great and the sparking rose was perfect. They are doing the best they can during Covid and the place was full. We had to wait quite a while to be seated, so make reservations. read more
