Summary: lovely place to stay. Good food and friendly staff. They need better wifi or cell coverage
Shawn Jul 6, 2026 02:34:06 AM
Summary: Super pet friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay with our family on the fourth, no firework noise to scare our fur babies. Kept the patio door open all night, had a nice breeze with the fire place going. Could ask for more.

Delphine May 26, 2026 09:17:21 AM
Summary: Beautiful property with great potential, but falls short of 5-star pricing. Lacked the attention to detail and hospitality expected at this price point. We were on the 1st floor with not much views and loud upstairs neighbors (evening and early morning). Definitely recommend requesting an upper floor. Disappointing restaurant. Dinner main dish was way oversalted and breakfast croissants tasted like reheated frozen pastries. Also, zero acknowledgment of my birthday during the stay.

Summary: Could live there

Summary: Great
rosemary Apr 11, 2026 12:21:36 PM
Summary: The Lucia server staff was excellent, but food seriously overpriced and menu was fairly unimaginative. Prices on alcohol drinks very high. Front desk staff seems reactive rather than proactive. Check in process was overly lengthy and clumsy.

Summary: Stayed here four years ago and loved it. Came back this time for our anniversary, let the front desk know the occasion upon arrival. Resort didn’t make any gestures to make the occasion special the entire stay. I let the front desk know that the glass divider for the shower had a large crack running through it. There was a stain on the bench at the in room dining table and the outdoor fireplace wasn’t working. The resort was not busy. The only offer provided was to move us into a room with a less desirable view. I declined, they completely ignored the inoperable outdoor fireplace for three days. Calling room service often took 2-3 calls to get someone to answer the phone. The stay was underwhelming. For this price I’ve had better experiences and service. We also traveled with our kids. At times it felt like we were at a 60+ resort, did not feel family friendly.

Summary: Bernardus is top notch. Cozy, intimate, great for a retreat. Would recommend
