Had a lovely stay at Bernardus once again! Nice, cozy and accommodating rooms made a nice relaxing stay. We went to the spa one day and all the services were lovely. We also ate at the restaurant and bar and had some great meals. Overall, staff was friendly and we enjoyed our visit. Only small nit would be that during our stay there seemed to be quite a bit of younger children (4-6 year olds) and they were running around quite a bit during the morning & day. It didn't bother us but I did notice there was more noise as they were joyfully going about. Didn't recall this from our first stay but guess it just depends on when you are there.

Absolutely wonderful!! Especially the dining. The chef is talented and inventive -and provides his guests with a gourmet adventure at every meal. I loved every morsel. In fact I told our server that we had fallen in love with him!
Iur stay was just perfect in every detail: the room was lovely. Our little patio was cosy. The hot tub glorious. The grounds beautifully landscaped. The Lodge was beyond perfect in every way. And, the staff, especially Kerry, who was one of our servers at dinner, could not have been nicer and more helpful-plus, he even laughed at our jokes.

Property is beautiful. My partner and I stayed in the luxury spa room, which is exactly as it is portrayed.
Only feedback i would share is, resort knew we were only staying 1 night, and on 2 seperate occassions asked us what are our plans for the day of arrival - which we responded with heading to the Bernardus Winery. Only to arrive at the winery and it was closed. Rather disappointing consider we drove down from the north bay and only had a short stay. Would of appreciated a heads up so we could of made alternate plans.

Such a beautiful spot and a top not resort!!! I traveled with my family, including my 5 children and we all loved staying here. Our room was a beautiful Villa that was spacious and just perfect for us. The view was outstanding and the room was perfection!

Hotel was impeccable. Incredible staff and service. Our rooms were well appointed. No nickel and dining which I appreciate. Everything in room bar was complimentary. Even the valet parking was included. Now the resort fee was $60, but they were upfront about that so you can’t complain.
My only complaint revolves around the restaurant.
For the prices and the ambience, I expected a higher quality of food. It was good, but unimpressive in the menu and presentation.
This is too bad, because the service was exemplary.

We stayed on the ground floor, the bed was not set up right, floor was slippery, my husband fell at night, he went to ER, the staff there not showing any concern,
We were very disappointed and dissatisfied.

I have stayed here twice now. The first time I was nothing but impressed with the accommodation and facilities. This time the room seemed run down. One of the queen beds was pushed up against the wall so my daughter had to climb over me to get out of bed in the night. The spa plunge pool was cold (under repair) and the sauna was not working. Not what I expected for $1000 a night.

Staying at Bernardus is a special place. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The staff is welcoming and friendly. The grounds are well taken care of and absolutely beautiful. The children’s garden is our favorite and our kids love planting seeds and seeing of the flowers come through at a later time. We stay here every year and plan on always coming back.

The room was lovely. Bed comfortable. TV not working but management compensated us for it & fixed the problem. Staff kind & responsible. Wonderful lodge. Music in lobby on Wednesday was so good we stayed for 3 sets. Great pizza in bar on Wednesday. All in all an expensive but worthwhile splurge.

This property is one of our favorites! The fact it has been a year and a good number of the staff remember us, and those that were not around seem to know who we are before arriving for reservations has been phenomenal! We are looking forward to our anniversary visit next year!!!

Bernardus is such a lovely place to visit. The food, the spa, the beautifully decorated rooms with wine and snacks. This place is incredibly luxurious and left me contemplating my many future visits.

Heads up: If you want to hear nonstop Christmas music in late November, then this is a good place to stay and dine! But if like us you need a spa experience with quiet relaxation, then try someplace else! Christmas music was playing endlessly in common areas including the restaurant, and since there were few other patrons, we asked if they could change the music during our meal - but the staff replied they can't because it's the hotel policy to start the canned music right after Thanksgiving. We regretfully cancelled our dinner reservation, and unexpectedly had the hassle to drive to other restaurants for all our meals. That said, the room and spa were nice - except for hearing the Christmas music piped outdoors while walking to and from the spa.

The Bernardus had been recommended to us by a few friends and I had seen it mentioned in travel magazines. It certainly lived up to its billing. The room was spacious and lovely with a huge bathroom, a fireplace and large patio. The parking was valet, but you could go in and out as often as you wished at no charge. The restaurant, Lucia's, could not be better, both for dinner and breakfast. I should also mention that everyone who worked there was genuinely a pleasure to talk to.

Wonderful property. Amazing staff. Expensive stay but all the amenities are included so we didn't feel nickel and dimed - valet, well-stocked mini bar. Top-notch spa. Pet friendly. Miles and miles of wilderness hiking within 5 min drive and less than 30 minutes to Carmel by the Sea.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The property was very clean and the decor was very elegant. The room was beautiful and they even had heated floors in the bathroom. Our patio was very nice. The amenities such as pool, hot tub, spa and bars were very nice. The snacks and mini bar in the room was also stocked with nice items. Overall I would give it 5/5. I travel a lot and stay at a lot of luxury properties and this one was one of the best. It was an amazing experience. I would book this place again.
