I thought the location, near the airport, would be bothersome but I barely heard or saw any planes. The actual resort property is lovely and there were always people around doing maintenance. I was disappointed in the rooms however; old, tiny bathrooms, miniscule closet (although adequate drawer space), no comfortable chair in the room. We had heard the rooms were... More

I have taken three trips to Bermuda and would never even consider another establishment. The Grotto Bay is in a very unique location, situated, as the name would imply, atop a naturally formed underground grotto on what I believe is the highest point on the Bermuda Island (unless Spanish Rock holds that distinction). The resort's rooms are located in a... More

This resort hotel is situated only a few minutes from the airport, literally just across the causeway. However, there was hardly any noise from the aircraft. There were bus stops just outside the main gate of the resort, which was on the main routes. The whole resort was meticulously maintained and the attention to detail was amazing. The lobby was...

We visited 5/5-5/9/12 and stayed in the Smith building. We loved the island, the resort, the staff, the views, the food, the Dark and Stormy drinks, the local shops and the transportation. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The lunches by the pool were terrific. The Palm court was average and the more formal Hibiscus room was terrible. We had the... More

This was our first trip to Bermuda and we loved it! We didn't do the all inclusive because we like to experience the countries we go to but we did do breakfast at the resort every morning. The breakfast was great, there was lots of healthy choices (fresh fruit, egg white omelets, yogurt, etc.). The beach on the property was... More

We stayed at Grotto Bay 4/29/12-5/4/12. Overall we had a wonderful time! In terms of the property, we thought the pool, beach area, grounds and reception/dining areas were very clean and well maintained. Our room could have used some renovating as the linens were old and frayed, the curtains were stained and the bed was uncomfortable. The TV picture was... More

We booked this hotel for 290 USD per night via internet with the remark "taxes are not included ". To our surprise upon departure we have been charged except the 24 USD local taxes daily , another 27 USD for "package expenses" . We told that the hotels in Bermuda charge this amount as a kind of obligatory tips to... More

What a beautiful hotel! Me and my friend stayed here for a week and actualy shed a few tears when it was time to go home. From the minute we got there, the staff were warm, friendly and helpful, we felt at home straight away. Emichael and his famous Bermuda shorts are an asset to the hotel with his humour... More

I highly recommend this resort. Beautiful spacious grounds and excellent staff. Jeremy has covered most of the details, in his thorough review. I agree that the food and bar were not the best. Near Crystal and Fantasy caves and Swizzle Inn (within walking distance) so make sure to stop at both of those attractions too.
