Though it claims to be “Bermuda’s Best Beach Resort,” the mid-range Coco Reef is far from it. Don’t expect beautiful decor, a host of on-site amenities, great dining, or even an exemplary beach. Instead Coco Reef is home to dated rooms, a mediocre restaurant, and a subpar stretch of sand. There’s little to do at the hotel, considering there’s no spa, fitness center, or on-site entertainment. Still, the resort is more affordable than any other resort on Bermuda's desirable south shore, and there are plenty of attractions nearby, including the famed Elbow Beach right next door. The nearby Fourways Inn is a nicer, more affordable option, but it’s not beachfront. Similarly priced Grotto Bay does have a small beach, but it's on the harbor near the airport, far from the south shore.

This 75-room resort’s hilltop setting is one of Bermuda’s most stunning. Consequently, all of its major amenities -- three restaurants, two bars, a lounge, a pool, three Jacuzzis, a boathouse, a game room, a small spa, and a fitness center – feature expansive ocean views and quick beach access. But killer vistas aren’t enough to save the dated decor and worn furnishings in the rooms and communal areas, which are in dire need of updates. Rates are higher than at some newer resorts with better rooms and amenities.

The St. George’s Club is a 71-room mid-range property in the historic town of St. George’s. With large apartment-style units, three pools, a beach club, and two on-site restaurants, The St. George’s Club is an ideal spot for all types of travelers. During the summer months, the property abounds with families and children, while the quieter winter months attract couples and retirees. Rooms are spacious, and most have separate living rooms and kitchens, but decor throughout is dated. Though The St. George’s Club isn’t directly on the beach, it does have a private beach club with an oceanfront restaurant about 10 minutes from the hotel. The property is within walking distance of historic St. George’s town, but it’s far removed from most of Bermuda’s tourist attractions. Travelers looking for a similarly historic property might prefer The Fourways Inn, which is closer to Hamilton and the south shore, but doesn’t have as many amenities.

The breezy, laid-back Newstead Belmont Hills Golf Resort & Spa is one of Bermuda’s only properties built within the last decade, and modern rooms, gourmet dining, a serene spa, and a spectacular infinity-edge pool prove it has raised the luxury bar for Bermuda’s more seasoned resorts. Even better, a central location puts nearly every major attraction less than a 20-minute drive away -- something that almost makes up for a lack of beachfront.

There’s no denying that the upscale Elbow Beach is one of the island’s top resorts. The 98-room beachfront property has some of the most modern and luxurious rooms in Bermuda, as well as a half-mile stretch of pink-sand beach, a beautiful pool, an Asian-inspired spa, five tennis courts, and four on-site restaurants. It’s a quiet, secluded property that’s best suited for adults and couples, although families with children are certainly welcome. An equally impressive, and similarly priced option is the Rosewood Tucker’s Point, but guests looking for a smaller, more intimate property might prefer The Reefs.

Travelers looking for an amenity-rich luxury resort that still feels like an intimate boutique will find everything on their wish list at The Reefs. An upscale property with 65 spacious and tastefully decorated rooms, The Reefs feels modern, but is still replete with Bermudian charm. Top-notch amenities include an infinity-edge pool with incredible ocean vistas, three on-site restaurants, a gorgeous spa, and a quiet beachfront — but perks like free afternoon tea service, free kayaks and snorkel gear, and free Rum Swizzles upon arrival are thoughtful touches that contribute to a more personalized, intimate guest experience. While the hotel’s clifftop location offers stunning views, the hilly property requires a lot of stair climbing, and is often windier than its neighbors. Newstead Belmont Hills Golf Resort & Spa is a nearby property with comparable amenities and cheaper nightly rates — but it’s not on the beach.

The 44-room Inn at Entrada is an upper-middle-range boutique on a well-manicured desert landscape set against a red rock backdrop with an 18-hole Johnny Miller Signature golf course. A lodge-style restaurant overlooks the greens. Families often stay here in part due to the two indoor/outdoor pools, kiddy pool, and hot tub. Tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts and a well-equipped gym appeal to active types and there’s a small spa. The inn offers 44 stand-alone casitas with kitchenettes or kitchens, fireplaces in living rooms, and patios overlooking the golf greens, but prices are steep and include a daily resort fee.

The 98-room Best Western Coral Hills is a value roadside property in St. George’s historic district. A heated pool, hot tub, and kiddy pool can be found by the parking lot, which large enough for RVs and buses; there is also an indoor pool and hot tub. A hot complimentary breakfast is served daily, and it can get quite crowded with guests. There’s also a small gym and putting green. Comfy brown furnishings fill rooms that feature mini-fridges and microwaves, and Honeymoon Suites have fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. Some also have balconies, but views don’t compare to the desert vistas at the Inn on the Cliff.

We can definitively say that Grotto Bay Beach Resort is Bermuda’s best bang-for-your-buck hotel. It has consistently cheaper rates than most of its competitors, and a host of on-site amenities, including three restaurants and an incredibly special spa built within a natural grotto. Because of this, the 210-room upper-middle-range hotel attracts all kinds of guests, including families, couples, business travelers, and even Bermudians on staycations. Although rooms aren’t the prettiest or the most modern on the island, they’re spacious, and most have ocean views. Like many of its neighbors, Grotto Bay is also quite hilly, and requires a lot of stair climbing. The Fairmont Southampton has nicer rooms and offers comparable amenities, but is farther from the airport and consistently pricier.
