What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Stunning Suites

I stayed in one of the vineyard view suites and it was absolutely stunning. It felt more like an apartment than just a room; the spacious living area included a cozy seating space, a small kitchen area with a bar, and a massive bathroom boasting the largest double shower I've ever seen in a hotel. The outdoor shower was a good addition, and the private patio with a fire pit was perfect for making s'mores. Truly a luxurious stay!

Really good Dining Experience

The restaurant at Bernardus Lodge is absolutely fantastic! I enjoyed breakfast and dinner there, and while both meals were great, the breakfast stood out to me especially. I had the best eggs benedict and a good mimosa to start my day. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance, and I truly appreciated the quality of food served. A must-visit during your stay!

Relaxing Spa Retreat

During my stay, I took advantage of the spa services and it was heavenly. I had an intuitive massage that left me feeling rejuvenated, and the complimentary yoga session was a perfect touch. The serene atmosphere throughout the spa made it an ideal location to unwind. I can't recommend it enough for those looking to relax and recharge.

Family-Friendly Activities

One of the highlights of my stay was the family-oriented activities the lodge offered. My kids loved spending time in the children's garden, where they could plant seeds and watch the flowers bloom over time. The bocce ball and mini golf areas provided endless fun for them, making it a truly enjoyable experience for our whole family.

My stay at the resort was absolutely delightful! From the moment I arrived, I felt like royalty with the warm welcome from the staff and the complimentary wine. The facilities were pristine, and the meals at the restaurant were simply outstanding, especially the locally sourced dishes. However, I did find the beds a bit too soft for my liking, and I encountered some late-night noise from neighboring guests. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway that I would highly recommend for anyone looking to relax in beautiful surroundings.

My stay at the resort was overall excellent. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted warmly and felt deeply relaxed throughout my four days. The staff were incredibly helpful, and the rooms were well-appointed and super comfortable. The only downside was the sometimes inconsistent service at the front desk and poolside, which didn't match the luxurious ambiance of the hotel. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this place for a tranquil getaway.

Bernardus is a beautiful resort nestled in the stunning Carmel Valley, perfect for a special getaway. The grounds are impeccably maintained with an array of great amenities, and the dining options are simply exceptional. However, the service at the front desk and poolside was disappointing, feeling a bit lackluster given the resort's high standards. While the rooms were a bit on the pricier side, the overall experience felt well worth the splurge.
