This was our 8th visit to this gem of a resort and somehow, each visit just makes us more and more anxious to return. The peaceful setting with wonderful ocean views in every direction, dinner right on the beach, a well-tuned staff, great restaurant offerings, beautiful spa and well, I could keep going on, but if I do, I may find it difficult to get a reservation.

After dodging Hurricane Sandy and spending 12hrs on the phone with United Airlines to try and keep my 1wk of vacation this year from evaporating into thin air, we flew in on the (literally) first flight into Bermuda after the storm shut down air travel along the East Coast. Immediately, we knew we'd picked the right place to get away.

I'm from Seattle, and the beautiful crisp sunshine, warmth, and emerald sparkling waters we saw on arrival were such a contrast to...rain...rain...rain. The island is quite breathtakingly beautiful, and Cambridge Beaches was the perfect place to stay on this mid-Atlantic jewel. Wonderfully friendly staff, great individual cottages with views of the ocean (perfect for watching the sun set and rise), beaches on the property, three restaurants (expensive but in line with the other establishments in Bermuda), and with scooter rentals right on the property. There's free breakfast buffet, free afternoon tea, and a host of activities (both organized and impromptu) that you can try out. The spa and fitness options are also extensive and, for the former, expensive. In general, this is a great place for a romantic getaway, and most of the people we saw were coupled together, from the young to the very old and likely also very wealthy. I thought the resort was terrific, and I'd return in a heartbeat.

The only downsides were a) Cambridge Beaches is located on the opposite end of Bermuda's 22mile length from the airport, and the cab ride will cost $60 each way; alternatively there are buses that will get you there in about 2hrs with one connection in Hamilton; and b) Bermuda itself does not offer much besides sun, golf, and beaches; don't expect much in the way of museums or historical sites.

Our first trip here and what a wonderful relaxing time. It was also our first time at an 18yrs and older resort. One word describes that, quiet. Extremely relaxing beach and pool areas. I understand that we were there near the end of their season and what a treat it was!

My girlfriend and I flew from Montreal to Bermuda for a long weekend. Neither of us had been to Bermuda before, and we ended up in a place that completely exceeded our expectations.

The Cambridge Beaches is both peaceful and incredibly beautiful. However, what differentiated it most was the extremely friendly service from every staff member we encountered, without exception. We owe huge thanks to Larry (a very warm gentleman who escorted us to our room after check-in), the personnel at the restaurant (where we ate 4 meals), the very friendly bartender who got us hooked on ginger beer, the reception staff, housekeeping, and literally everyone we met - for making this an unforgettable vacation.

We were pleasantly surprised by an upgrade to the Cove Suite upon check-in. Only upon arrival in that room did we realize what this meant. The room was very pretty and spacious, with a great view of the ocean from its private yard. I realized immediately that there would not be a more perfect setting for a marriage proposal. She said yes :-)

Over 3 days and 2 nights, we swam in the ocean, sunbathed by the pool, enjoyed a workout in the gym, practiced our putting, enjoyed the fantastic cuisine in the restaurant (recommend the fish chowder, half-lobster, scallops, and banana soufflé), sipped afternoon tea while playing chess, and took dozens of beautiful pictures. It was the perfect getaway.

My wife-to-be and I hope to return to the Cambridge Beaches soon!
