An oasis in the Carmel Valley. If you intend on traveling anywhere near this hotel, you MUST plan to stay for a few days. The natural beauty of the valley is positively invigorating. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, and very quiet. While there is not much to do in Carmel, the scenery is beautiful and the food is superb. That... more

I love Bernardus for its great hospital and unbeatable scenary. The hotel is everything you would want in a hotel and more. It is small enough that you feel as it is all your own yet large enough to feel that you are in an exlcusive resort. The spa is fabulous and the pool is serene. I would recommend this... more

Pros: Best massages in the area. The therapists are really well trained. The spa itself is not very large or luxurious. I remember seeing mold in the Spa showers. But the treatment itself was heavenly. The property has 2 restaurants, both are excellent californian cuisine, fresh ingredients (they have their own vegetable/herb garden at the back of the property). Cons:... more

Everything about the Bernardus Lodge was just perfect from the moment we walked in the door. Rather than standing in line to check in, we were immediately greeted by a concierge, who offered us a complimentary glass of wine and invited us to lounge by the fire while she got our paperwork ready. That level of service set the tone... more

We stayed at Bernardus in October and had a lovely autumn stay in the Carmel Valley. The property is well maintained and the staff very personalized and helpful. We enjoyed the spa treatments very much, but found the restaurant (Marinus) to be a bit too formal and expensive for our vacation style. more
