It was incredible. Not an inexpensive stay, but we did enjoy every moment. The rooms, grounds and pools were extrordinary.

We had a beautiful experience at Bernardus Lodge & Spa from the second we walked in and were offered a complimentary glass of wine at check in. It is truly a lovely spot. We had a great room with beautiful lighting, a fantastic 2 person soaking tub, comfortable bed with nice linens, & great porch. Every staff member was exceptionally kind and accommodating making our 20 yr anniversary feel truly special. The dinner was amazing (& we are a hard pair of foodies to please!) The infinity adult hot tub was perfect.. great to soak and then dwell by the fire. I enjoyed the steam, sauna, and quiet space quite a lot. The quite space is thoughtfully decorated; cozy and classy. We stayed at 2 other hotels (well actually the first one we walked out of in 2 minutes flat, with a refund in hand). We also looked at one more place for our next visit on our way out of town..none compared to the quality, beauty, and style of the Bernardus Lodge & Spa. I am so grateful we found this spot and will for sure be back!

Refreshing environment. Attentive Staff. Beautiful grounds. Really liked the morning walk and learning about the use of herbs and vegetables grown on property for cooking in Lucia. Spectacular!

Great friendly experience. The staff always remembers us from previous stays and always makes us feel truly welcomed. The service is always top notch. The complimentary snacks and beverages in the room are definitely an added bonus.

Our two-day business meeting was exceptional. BJ, the manager, and his team went above and beyond, constantly checking on us and making sure everything ran smoothly. Every staff member we encountered was professional, friendly, and courteous. Dinner at the restaurant was outstanding. Chef Gus created an amazing menu, and both the food and service were exceptional. The beautiful location made the experience even more memorable. We truly appreciate the outstanding hospitality and look forward to returning!

"The Bernardus Lodge was wonderful. My husband and I spent our anniversary weekend at the lodge and found it very relaxing, romantic and the service was beyond exceptional. They were attentive to every need and always made us feel like their top priority. We also visited the spa and had a wonderful experience. We will definitely go back!"
