We stayed elsewhere in Bermuda at the start of our family vacation in August, unfortunately. Moving to the Fairmont Southampton saved it. It was clean which is incredibly important in a tropical climate. The staff were friendly and professional. The trolley was convenient to the beach which is across the road. We went early in the am each day and had front row lounge chairs. One night we couldn't get through to Bacci for take away so when we trooped over - the staff were very accommodating and filled our order asap. We could see why they couldn't get to the phone .. The place was jammed still at 9 pm. The boys raved about the food ..it was very good. Like others, would recommend joining the president circle. We had two rooms just two over, they couldn't give us adjoining ..same code can be used for all of your wireless internet access which is complimentary. Look for their Bermuda pink sale. Giving this place a good rating even though the last night we could hear the couple screaming at each other between our Rooms threatening violence - the walls are very thin - luckily the kids didn't awaken. We had to call security (three large men came to knock on their room) .. The hotel can't screen for crazy guests but dealt with this effectively.

Staying in this hotel is as close as you can get to being back in a more grand time and place in the islands. Its marble and wood are sturdy and you feel as if it was made centuries ago. I almost wanted to put on a gown and get my parasol.

The food all over the island is eclectic because the chefs are from all over the world. Order the onion rings!!! But here in the hotel, you can get a sampling of the best from all over. The Newport has a poutine that made me glad I ditched the diet for the day. The Serious Burger is just that!! Very SERIOUS.

My favorite part of the hotel, well there were two. The Cellar Nightclub was fantastic and we had a great time mingling with locals and other guests. My boyfriend, not a club-goer, was even having a good night. 2nd spot was the pool in the Spa. Open for general admission after 6PM, this pool was romantic and lovely after a long day of sight seeing. There are two hot tubs and a gorgeous view of the ocean if the moon is full. Take a cocktail and have some private spa time. Speaking of which...

This Spa is incredible!!! Expensive to those of us that vacation with a budget but I have to say, I will add this in if we return to Bermuda. I took a tour and it was gorgeous and I'm very intrigued by the couples service they offer called the Ritual for Two. Its sounds like a years worth of couples counselling in a condensed amount of time.

The trolley cars that take you around the property are charming and always there when you need them. Beach Club is nice and right next to one of the most famous Bermudian beaches, Horseshoe Bay. Best of both private and public worlds there. But I do recommend renting a scooter to venture out to your own private cove beach that you can find anywhere along South Road.

Worth the stay and I had a great time. Long live the Dark & Stormy!!!

Since I noticed that my only two reviews have been negative, I thought I should point out that I DO enjoy certain vacation spots ;) And Bermuda was one of them! The hotel was wonderful, the bus system to the beach was excellent, the private beach does get crowded but a short walk away is Horseshoe Bay, the most breathtaking beach I have ever been on. I want to go back to Bermuda again and again! If you haven't been to Bermuda you have to experience it at least once. The people are friendly, the Island is gorgeous, and it keeps its charm despite being such a tourist attraction. LOVED Bermuda!

perfect, beautiful!!!
worth spending money at!!! nice staff, greet you well and very nice food. the beds were nice and the room was all over nice and clean :) the views from some of the rooms are splendid.
