Our first trip to Bermuda, and I truly wish we had done just a little more research... If you like to walk on the beach, or really - just walk anywhere - this hotel is not for you. On most of the island, walking is not encouraged on many of the sidewalk-less roads, and unless you are used to left side of the road driving, this is not the place to learn. The hotel - although beautifully situated on the bay, is not close to much of anything other than a ferry which will take you into Hamilton. We had a room with a full sized fridge and a microwave, but nothing else to cook with. Although they did have a delivery service much like "door-dash," there were no other restaurants or meal options without taking a taxi or the ferry. The Beach options are easy - take a taxi, and since everyone is on island time, you will probably be waiting over 30 min for arrival, and possibly more for a return trip. So back to the hotel - nice room, but it never got cool enough to sleep well. The front desk guy was nice and helpful - even gave me a ride to the grocery store about a mile away, as well as offered a few other options. We tried not to put him out, but in hind sight, we probably should have. You can walk to the bus stop, but again, dangerously thin roads with no sidewalk, and about a mile into the middle of the island. So, if you are good with delivery or microwaved food, and taking a ferry or taxi to literally anywhere, or you are content with sitting on the porch and just sipping and staring at the boats on the bay, you will be ok with this place. We spent most of our time in Hamilton, and from there, you could catch ferries to other areas - but you always had to keep an eye on the schedule - the last ferry from Hamilton back to the hotel was around 6pm.
