Hidden in Carmel Valley, the Bernardus Lodge is a fabulous retreat and spa. The rooms are spacious, have built-in fireplaces, and are kept in a rustic design that makes this truly a place to "come home" to after a long journey.
As the valet takes care of your car and luggage, you are greeted in the lobby, which is really a super comfortable living room with crackling fire in the fireplace. You are offered a glass of wine while you wait for the concierge who escorts you to your room - and you do the check-in right in your own room. Truly a clever idea and a wonderful way to make the arrival process even more comfortable.
We stayed only one night on our trip up the west coast, but the breakfast was certainly one of the best breakfasts we had on the entire trip. And we were sad that we had to leave without enjoying some of the highly recommended spa treatments. We will need to come back one day and stay for a week...
