Bernardus Lodge & Spa

The resort & spa are absolutely beautiful! The property is stunning throughout with excellent customer service. Mercedes are available free of charge with room.

Beautiful resort and even the basic rooms are beautiful, large and comfortable. The resort is intimate and peaceful in a pretty setting in Carmel Valley. However, overpriced and they don't bend on check-in or check-out times. They are a member of iPrefer but they don't offer any of the stated perks so don't expect anything other than the basics. No room upgrades for repeat customers either. We preferred the more personalized level of service they had before. The prices have gone up but what you get in return has gone down. No longer our favorite in the Carmel area.

Incredible 12 day stay at this beautiful restaurant - every one who is affiliated with Bernadus deserves five stars from us. Just wonderful!!!

My wife and I planned a trip to Monterey County six months ago and decided to splurge on three nights at the best resort in the area. We booked a room at the Bernardus Lodge and Spa, and were blown away. The room was luxurious and well designed. Although the Resort was at near full occupancy, and was accommodating both a wedding party and a corporate event, it felt nearly empty. The restaurant, Lucia, has a menu to satisfy the most discerning tastes, and the service was attentive, but not imposing. The grounds are well designed and beautifully maintained. We will not hesitate to stay at the Bernardus when next we visit.

We gathered four families to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The Bernardus facilities and staff were fabulous. Adam in sales was quite helpful in working through various options for our three generation gathering. We each had separate rooms but also had one large gathering space that was perfect for grandchildren to play. The buildings are beautiful and laid out for privacy. We were in close proximity to each other but far enough away for infants to quietly nap while others gathered. There are wonderful areas to explore and play. We would text the group about our breakfast plans and some would join us or take breakfast in their rooms. The fire pits were terrific for s’mores parties and early morning quiet observation with a coffee in hand. The Rose Garden hosted a wedding while we were there. A stunning place to stage any event! Guests could then stay over. Lucky them. Nearby Carmel-by-the-sea has many shops, restaurants and galleries. We chose to hike by the ocean, visit the aquarium and the beach. However one day was spent playing in the pool and lawn at the Bernardus. There are tennis courts as well. Overall, Fabulous!

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff were friendly and attentive, the food outstanding, and the grounds and pool simply beautiful. My room was elegant and comfortable, with a private patio that made it feel extra special. A perfect stay—I can’t wait to return!

My daughter chose Bernardus as the venue for her wedding. Looking back at our 2-day stay, including the wedding and dinner, I can only say it was without a doubt, one of the most impressive displays of exquisite and professional hospitality, services, and employee warmth and competence I've ever experienced. It was a magical two days.

Great property right off the main road and yet secluded and tranquil. Lots of vegetation and a beautiful rose garden for a pleasant stroll before heading to town.

This was our first time visiting the Monterey Carmel area and let me tell that the Bernardus lodge and spa did not disappoint! It was the most beautiful grounds and amazing room experience we have had in a while! The whole staff was friendly and quick to response to our request, The spa service was awesome, and my wife had an awesome time driving the convertible Mercedes that is offered on the property and no additional cost! We will definitely be back soon!
