About About the place

Refuge is an outdoor spa experience located in the hills of Carmel Valley, California. The core of the experience revolves around a thermal circuit – a sequence of hot, warm, and cold pools, complemented by a eucalyptus steam room and a dry sauna. Guests are encouraged to embrace silence and disconnect from technology, finding tranquility by fire pits or in zero-gravity chairs. While massage services are available, the primary focus is on the restorative benefits of the thermal waters and the surrounding natural beauty. The atmosphere is designed to be serene and peaceful, offering a respite from daily life.

This is an excellent restaurant which is the new opening in the town and also the talk of the town. The delicacies prepared here are awesome and delicious. The chefs have all come from outside and serve the best of gourmet food. It was exotic and tasty array of food and I highly recommend this place to everyone. Just awesome!!

This was a traditional B&B and was very warm and comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming and nice people. It is very conveniently located and is easy to find. The food from their kitchen was very homely and delicious and they made sure that we had a hearty breakfast. Overall a great experience and we are booking this place again.

It is a great place to stay and gives you much luxury and comfort at a great price. The service is great and the management was very prompt and was very helpful and assisted us with everything. The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.

We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.
