BERNARDUS LODGE

Super nice boutique resort. Very relaxing, excellent service. Great food.

Bravo Lucia! Against Solid8 CEO Michael Lofthouse!

We had a wonderful lunch at Bernardus. The hotel renevations look great and the service remains very good!

Absolutely wonderful experience. The resort is 5-stars, from the rooms, the property, and most importantly the staff. From the moment you pull up and you re greeted by the valet staff, the most amazing experience starts. Try the Bernardus Sauvignon Blanc, eat at Lucia, play some bocce ball, relax at the spa, dip in the adults only jacuzzi, soak in the views. After our first stay, we knew this is where we were getting married, and after finishing the wedding weekend just now, I would highly recommend anyone to enjoy some r&r here.

Amazing staff and accommodations. The rooms could be stocked a bit more with water or snacks, but I understand they want you to pick up the phone to order in if needed.

Came here for a wedding and it was a beautiful venue! The waitress we're very professional and friendly.

I dine here a couple three time a year. This visit would not be a good example of why I do so.

Amazing service. Clean rooms and cool amenities. Crystal at the front desk was great.

Over the top breakfast in a comfortable dining room. French press coffee.

Bernardus is outstanding. But do not stay in room # 7..room above has hardwood floors -brutal noise.. do not let them give you a bottom room; too pricey and little sleep, if upstairs room is used.

Beautiful resort with pool, bocce/croquet, and awesome restaurant. Would highly recommend!

Awesome hotel, elegant environment, clean and tidy hotel, it is recommended!

Overall great experience for a weekend away. Nice restaurant, adequate gym, very clean and warm swimming pool, beautiful grounds. They even had cars free to rent. Rooms are beautiful, bed comfortable, easy parking and close to free or discounted wine tasting. We enjoyed the Bernardus Chardonnay that came free with the room, heated bathroom floor, large tub, fireplace, etc. Spa was nice as well. Look forward to returning.

This lodge is fantastic! My new Wife and I spent the first part of our honeymoon here and loved every moment. The spa is wonderful and very relaxing and the rooms and staff are so inviting and kind.

Fantastic hotel in Carmel Valley. It s only 20 min away from the beach in Carmel-by-the-sea. The property is beautifully landscaped. The food is fantastic. Staff and service are world class

The rooms are beautiful and luxurious without sacrificing comfort. Loved the espresso machines in room as well as the seating area outside. The chef's menu at the restaurant was the best meal I have ever had. The staff all over the hotel was conscientious and helpful. I could sit by one of their many fireplaces all over the property for hours. Could you tell I really enjoyed my stay? I did and can't wait to return.

Great stay. The professionalism of the staff really stand out.

Had a great relaxing weekend here! Family friendly and the Lucia restaurant here has amazing food! Didn't leave the grounds all weekend!

Everything was great except the boom boom boom from the wedding DJ while we were trying to go to sleep. My only other complaint was that the people above us were very loud and stomping around starting around 6am. Because of this, I'd recommend requesting an upstairs unit. Everything else was lovely. The filet at the restaurant was delicious.

An awesome hotel out in Carmel with country side setting with beautiful and peaceful surrounding. Comfortable bed, and spacious room. Come in the spring and enjoyed morning fog and flowers everywhere. Vineyard next door add to the ambiance. It's very quiet and a good place to get way from hustle and bustle of big city.

Understated elegance and luxury. Picturesque Carmel Valley setting, beautiful gardens and grounds, lovely accommodations, outstanding food and wine, helpful professional staff. Special occasions spent at Bernardus are truly memorable.

Classy food a And service And peaceful.

Amazing property with great amenities. Don't forget to done at Lucia Restaurant.

Had a lovely evening at a wedding here. The food and drinks were phenomenal and all of the staff were very professional!

5 stars all around. Our favorites were the outstanding service from the very friendly staff, the large well designed rooms and bathrooms and the little adults only jacuzzi area. We stayed in what was supposed to be one of the smaller room categories, but it was the size of what would be a junior suite in most hotels. Very nice bathroom with large tub and shower. Bed was very comfortable and everything was super clean. The property is beautiful. Perfect place actually to hold a wedding reception. There are several seating areas with fireplaces to enjoy a glass of wine by the fire and relax. The restaurant was excellent. We had the salmon and the onaga, both of which were very good. We were here for 2 nights, but wished we could have stayed longer.

Nice, recently renovated rooms. Excellent customer service. Beautiful grounds.

Was there for a wedding. The grounds were very beautiful, the setting perfect for a wedding. However, the food could've been better. It wasn't bad, just not the kind of food you'd expect for an expensive wedding. Kinda mediocre.

Strolling through the pretty gardens, looking up into the sun-lit hills of Carmel Valley, playing a round of bocce on the large green, going for a dip in one of two spa areas, enjoying a Californian brunch in the cozy yet modern restaurant, and even checking out one of a fleet of impressive Mercedes courtesy cars, this is the good life folks. A weekend (or full week) at Bernardus will leave you relaxed, rejuvenated, and looking forward to visiting again soon.

Explored the grounds while spectating the McLaren experience during car week. Great location and beautiful new additional buildings.

I chose this place for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We've stayed at Carmel Valley Ranch, Pebble Beach and a few others in Carmel by the Sea but always wanted to check out Bernardus! I'd say this is a solid 4 star hotel but not luxury. Let me try to elaborate: 1. The grounds are gorgeous. Great landscaping, Mediterranean vibe. Also perfect for COVID times because there's so much outdoor space for eating and lounging and walking. 2. Lucia dinner was a highlight for sure. Food was excellent. My husband's filet was the best he's had in years and everything we had was to die for. Our server, Luis, was ultra attentive and topped our glasses off and comped dessert when he heard it was our anniversary. 3. Quiet. Tranquil. Not great: 1. Room decor. We stayed in a luxury croquet room and the location was excellent on the grounds and it was large and had great patios. BUT, it was like 3 different interior designers threw up in the room. Really, pretty hideous vibe when you're paying $700+ nght. 2. Service was just so so. I told them it was our anniversary. they clearly noted it in the notes because when we checked in the wished us happy anniversary and on check out. But, no upgrade, no nice gesture like a champagne when we sat down for our dinner, nothing that made us feel well taken care of. 3. Pool. See above. There was a pool attendant but honestly i wonder if she was told to NOT help any guests because it was almost like she went out of her way. I sat on a lounge chair for 15 minutes trying desperately to make eye contact. (There were 2 other people at the pool). Nothing. Then got up to ask her for a menu. Sat back down, thinking she'd come to get my order. Nothing. She never followed up. I also saw several others have to go to her to ask for anything. All in all, we had a good stay. There were some disappointments, plus I'm picky. I would recommend them but do hope they see this review to work out some kinks.

Great spot for some excellent food and wine. Especially at lunch on a Sunny afternoon.

Beautiful grounds in all aspects. Amazing food, exquisite service. Love love love this place

We had a lovely stay here but the restaurant maitre de wasn't fantastic. She seated us outside because we had a baby (in the winter). The manager ended up comping us for the whole meal. All that said, we had a lovely time.

I DID NOT make the earlier post!!. This is the obtrusive use of Google on the new Android. Absurd!!! This is an excellent venue!! Except for Googlers. Rating is a 10 . I apologize I did not post the one star

Great service, everyone was very accommodating. The rooms were beautiful and the spa services were well worth it!

Very nice place. Wish I could stay longer. If you want luxury this is the place.

Just had lunch on the Patio food was amazing staff very friendly will be back soon for sure,

Lovely hotel. They are pet friendly which is great and their heated pool was fantastic. Their spa experience was good and check in service was first class.

The spa is pricey but the service is perfect. The resteraunt delivers to th we spa. Also excellent. Also pricey Never a mistake of you can afford itm

The layout is gorgeous and the staff is on point but the price point isn't valid for the value...

So disappointing once again. As locals, we like to engage, share and be treated as if we matter. Non plussed waiters make it a less then inviting experience. Fewer patrons visiting make the already stale environment more antiseptic. :( not what it used to be

Beautiful hotel where attention to detail is the norm.

Came here for a wedding. The place is gorgeous, Pool area, fire pits around the facilities, a big open area with corn hole, and a mini golf so the kids can play. The good is really good, cocktails are also good. The staff is always charming and nice. If you go in summer time, you have to go their garden and the vineyards in front of the hotel.

Loved our experience here. Fantastic resort as well as exceptional food. Make sure to check out the elaborate chef's garden and then grab dinner with items fresh from the garden!

This place is great for even a short retreat. Staff is super friendly and professional. Outdoor swimming pool is heated so you can enjoy morning swim even during winter. Views of surrounding mountains are stunning.

Beautiful place and beautiful weather. A great place to relax and unwind. Rooms are excellent and staff is very helpful.

I left my spa appointment quite disappointed today. I had booked an 80 minute massage and a 30 minute reflexology. Unfortunately, the masseuse erroneously gave me a 50 minute massage and the reflexology. This was a birthday gift from my friends; I looked forward to this spa day with anticipation it would be a 4-star ecperience. The only compensation for this error was that I had to pay for the 50 minute rather than the 80 minute massage. Well, there is no way they could charge for the 80 minute!!! I am in the hospitality industry myself and know I would have offered some sort of apologetic compensation. My friends and I are local Carmel Valley residents who have frequented Bernardus Spa quite regularly. There are far too many good places on this peninsula to have a spa ecperience. We will be checking some of them out next time.

We made a reservation at the chef's table for our 1 year anniversary. It was INCREDIBLE! The service was top notch. The food was second to none and consisted of ingredients that are both uncommon and fresh. Every course was prepared perfectly and had a wine pairing that enhanced both the food and wine. This was the best meal we've ever had and the most unique dining experience to date. Plan to spend between 3 & 4 hours for this experience.

Beautiful grounds, excellent food, over the top service, class all the way!

We spent 5 days here for businesses meetings. The staff is fantastic and catered to every need. Even supplied some empty wine cases we used to transport our locally purchased wine home.

What a great place to meet up with friends. They had no eggs and seemed to be running low on a number of items.

Loved the location and the amenities and everyone was super sweet!

Very relaxing, upscale resort! We will be definitely returning!

We had a wedding here and the people were absolutely wonderful. The staff was awesome

Room was spacious and comfortable. Heated floors in the bathroom were a nice touch. Loved that all the drinks and snacks in the room we're included. Restuarant was delicious and food was cooked to perfection. Staff was very welcoming and made everything very enjoyable.

Gorgeous place ideally located for just about everything. MaryAnn is the best sales director ever. Super smart and very friendly.

Stopped here for our first anniversary trip. Very awesome place. Heated floor in the bathroom are really nice and cozy. The restaurant also offers very tasty food. There s a Land Rover experience school in Carmel Valley, which is one of the only two places in the US and the hotel offers complementary driving of Mercedes. Definitely worth to check out.
