The Quail

Hotel · Monterey County

"After all of those activities, kick back and relax at the Quail, an 850 acre lodge that’s nestled in the hills of Carmel Valley. Here, kids can enjoy sailing remote-controlled sailboats on Mallard Lake while parents sip on glasses of wine and watch the activities from Covey Deck. There’s also a cornhole lawn and pickleball courts. If you’re feeling peckish, sample some bites at Covey Grill where chef Goran Basarov dishes up shishito peppers with a pumpkin seed furikake, and beef and courgette skewers with an onion soubise and mustard relish. If you happen to go in May, you can catch the classic car show display, featuring an array of vehicles that would make even James Bond jealous." - Marisa Churchill
