My wife an myself spent only 2 nights at the fantastic Bernardus Lodge from April, 22nd to April 24 th 2013. At first we were a little disappointed as we thought the Hotel would be located in Carmel. But at a second sight we really enjoyed the calm of Carmel Valley. Whe Carmel itself comes to a foggy small town... More

This was our second time at Bernardus and we had a wondrful time. We booked a romantic weekend package and it was great, started with a wine and rose pedal bath on arrival and a couples spa treatment on Saturday. The massages were fantastic!! We will be back again soon.

I booked room six at the Bernardus Lodge as a surprise for my wife on our two week vacation of Northern California. This room is absolutley beautiful. It has a King bed, large seating area, beautiful bathroom with two person shower and two person soaking tub. It has a fireplace and the room comes stocked with wine and snacks as... More

This property is a hidden gem. A very small, 57 rooms, hotel that is quiet and relaxing. A short ride to Pebble Beach or downtown Carmel. Rooms were beautiful and nicely decorated. The staff was friendly and at your disposal for anything you would need. We had dinner and it was very good and different. Not your normal menu but... More

We have been going to the restaurant for some time, but this past trip was our first time to stay at this lodge. Certainly the rooms were fine, but not great for $500/night. They were really dark, and we could hear the conversations and comings and goings of our neighbors. They did offer a lovely basket of goodies, including home-made... More

From the moment we arrived, we felt at home at Bernadus Lodge. We had two lovely rooms (26 and 28) located above the swimming pool. The gardens are beautiful, all the staff deserve a big thank you for their proffesionalism and friendlyness. Only downside: While there is a steam room and sauna in both the male and female locker rooms,... More

I’ve been fortunate enough to have stayed at some exceptional properties like Meadowood in Napa Valley and the Ritz-Carlton on Nob Hill in San Francisco, and my recent experience at Bernardus Lodge was in the same superlative category. One of the components that made it so was the wonderful staff at Bernardus: Graciously professional, warmly hospitable and openly eager to... More

We recently stayed for a month in SF, and during our stay we decided to go for a 2 day trip to Big Sur. While searching for a suitable place to stay we received an offer from Vacationist that suited us very well (we are 2 adults and one 12 YO) We are into modern places where the architecture is...

I had read so many good things about Bernardus Lodge over the years that when - after 10 years - I was returning to the Carmel area I decided to book 3 nights there at the end of my trip. Just a short drive from the craziness of Carmel, this Lodge is truly a peaceful oasis. The rooms are generously... More
