Bernardus was a real mixed bag for me. The rooms were not cheap but spacious and comfortable. Although not ready upon arrival, they were so stylish with the vaulted ceiling, fireplace, and hip decor. The service was very friendly and high-quality, although housekeeping was occasionally inconsistent. The location in the hills above Carmel was a nice escape, offering a tranquil setting and the option to bring along your dog. The dining experience in the dining room was amazing, with delicious offerings. However, all in all, I left underwhelmed considering the high price tag.

Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, making us feel like we were in a cozy cave nestled underground. The furnishings were top-notch, and the views were simply breathtaking. However, navigating the stairs down to the front door was a unique quirk. The service was superb, with incredibly accommodating and polite staff, though occasionally, the maid service was a bit inconsistent. The location was ideal, especially for a quiet getaway in a stunning setting, but transportation outside the lodge could be a challenge. The dining experience was superb, offering amazing and generous meals, particularly via room service. The facilities were top-notch, contributing to a truly luxurious stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although comfortable, showed signs of wear and tear with unsightly stains. The service was exceptional, with welcoming and professional staff at every turn. The location was fantastic, nestled in a beautiful hilly landscape just a short drive from the coast. However, the dining experience was lacking, and the facilities were not exceptional.
