In late February my wife and I traveled South to Carmel. We had never been there before. In looking for a hotel, the Tickle Pink Inn name caught our attention. After reading existing reviews, we booked the Inn. When we arrived, we were quickly checked in and then introduced to a beautiful room overlooking the Pacific. Shortly after entering our... More

Just a wonderfully romantic hotel nestled on the hills of Carmel. Can't wait to come back. Balcony room was a real treat and the anniversary champagne was a nice touch. Super service where recommendations were spot on for dining and what to do and see. Felt like a guest in someone's home.

I had planned many years ago to stay here but my trip was cancelled. My husband and I just retired and drove down the Oregon and California coast and did no upfront planning, just going where the road took us. When we rolled into town we decided to check the inn out. We got the suite room 6 and as... More

After doing research for a place to go for a week of relaxation in the Monterey/Carmel area last March, my wife stumbled on to the Tickle Pink Inn website. Based on the reviews and pictures we could see, we decided to give it a try. Neither of us had been to that area of California since a VERY young age... More

This lovely little inn is charming and friendly. From the moment when you arrive to freshly baked cookies and helpful staff to the bottle of champagne provided to us the first evening, everything was perfect. Our view of the ocean was breathtaking and something I will always remember. We enjoyed the hot tub, the wine and cheese in the afternoon... More

My husband and I were on a 'second honeymoon" for our 27th anniversary and this could not have been a better hotel for us. Breath taking views of both the cove and ocean, a bottle of wine and chocolates were waiting for us in our room at check in since they knew it was our anniversary. We used the hot... More

We arrived a little early,room was ready. Check in was flawless, staff was pleasant and helpful. Stayed in room 17 ocean View. We were not prepared for how beautiful views truly are. Complementary champagne and rose on arrival. There are very few restaurants immediately surrounding hotel but Carmel by the sea is only about three miles from hotel. Bed was... More

This was by far the nicest hotel room we've ever stayed in. The views are unreal, we took pictures and it just doesn't capture the view and feeling you get when overlooking the ocean. We got a jacuzzi suite which was huge. Champagne upon arrival was a nice touch. I wish we could have stayed more than one night! And... More

Tickle Pink Inn is one of a kind. You can't beat the size, location and attention to details at this place. It is very close to the Hyatt, which we tried one time, and the Tickle Pink Inn was SO much better! It is deceiving from the outside, but the rooms are amazing! This is probably one of my all...

Took my wife away for her birthday, and had a Great experience at the Tinkle Pink Inn. I would highly recommend this place. The views were great and the room we had was awesome, and the staff was very friendly. I am definitely planning a return trip and look forward to staying longer.
