Bernardus Lodge Review

Bernardus Lodge 
$$$$, Carmel Valley
User Rating: ***** 4.9
Fodor's Review:
Even before you check in at this luxury spa resort, the valet hands you a glass of chardonnay. Spacious guest rooms have vaulted ceilings, featherbeds, fireplaces, patios, and bathtubs for two. The restaurant, Marinus ($$$$; jacket recommended), is perhaps the best in the Monterey Bay area, with a menu that changes daily to highlight local meats and produce. Reserve the chef's table in the main kitchen and you can talk to the chef as he prepares your meal. Pros: Exceptional personal service, outstanding food and wine. Cons: Some guests can seem snooty, pricey.

The perfect setting for a perfect getaway

We just got back from staying at the Bernardus Lodge.I do not know where to start with the superb service. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.I noticed that they engage the guests in genuine conversation that I do not see all the time at high end resorts like this one. The room was incredible.From the fireplace to the fresh flowers, fruit and snacks and incredible Marinus wine. The property is gorgeous. What a dream come true.RATING: 5.0
The best kept secret in Carmel Valley

We just stayed at the wonderful Bernardus Lodge. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel that our vacation experience was the most important thing to each and every employee. They knew our names, that we were celebrating our anniversary, and were amazingly buttoned up. We'll definitely go back.RATING: 5.0
Exceeded Our Expectations!!!

Everyone working at this resort was friendly, gracious, smiling, and service oriented. From check in to check out five days later we were never disappointed. From the valets to the Concierge, the restaurant staff, everyone was always friendly and it gave this resort a personal touch that is lost at larger properties. The food was outstanding. The only thing casual at the Wickets restaurant is the more casual dress code. The menu and food quality was fabulous. Marinus, was even better with the most wonderful wine list. If you are eating more casual but would like to order from the more extensive Marinus wine list&no problem, just ask. We enjoyed our room, the views, the spa and the chance to get away in a quite atmosphere. We will come back!RATING: 4.8
