Our first time to Bermuda and Reefs Resort definitely set the bar high! We booked a king suite overlooking the ocean, great amenities in the room, private, quiet and beautiful. The staff was kind and helpful from check-in to check-out. We frequented their casual restaurant Coconuts daily for lunch and happy hour and the food and cocktails were consistently delicious. The location is about halfway down the island so you're right in the middle for all major sites and attractions. Hamilton is a short taxi ride away and Horshoe Bay along with a handful of private beaches are 5 minutes from the resort. We are usually the adventurous couple but we loved relaxing on the hotel's private beach surrounded by high cliffs and the gorgeous blue waters of Bermuda. They offer kayaks, paddle boards and snorkel gear which kept us busy throughout the afternoon. We would recommend booking a table on the beach at Coconuts way in advance. This was something we weren't aware of and we missed the opportunity to have a romantic dinner on the beach but made up for it with the other incredible restaurants on the bayside where the sunsets are incredible! We will absolutely be back.

Since it was our first visit to Bermuda, I carefully researched the island's parishes, as as well as the various accomodations. All that planning paid off, since we found the perfect place , the lovely Reefs Resort in beautiful Southampton. The location is perfect for those wanting to be away from the busier areas of the island yet close to bus transportation, which is a great way to see all the sites. The Reef's own private beach offers stunning views of the ocean and cliffs, but is also within walking distance of the pretty pink sand beaches of Horseshoe Bay and Church Bay and the lighthouse. From the moment we checked in at The Reefs, we felt pampered with steam towels and rum swizzles. The service was exceptional. Everyone was friendly and helpful, offering many personal gestures, not found in larger hotels. We especially liked that housekeeping checked in every evening, to make sure we had everything we needed for the night, and passed out chocolates and newsletters. There was also a guest welcome board in the lobby, daily bottled water, first night rum and ginger beer cocktail fixings and a complimentary weekly rum swizzle party. We enjoyed free use of on site beach equipment, lounge chairs, towels, kayaks , paddle boards, snorkeling gear,etc.. All of the rooms, the infinity edge pool and jacuzzi have ocean views. In addition the property has a peaceful outlook deck with chairs and tables and another area with hammocks to relax, watch and listen to the crashing waves against the rocks below. The Reefs building is charming, pretty in pink with painted murals and breathtaking vantage points. Our agenda for this trip was quite busy in order to see all this spectacular island offers. But when we return to The Reefs Resort in the future, we hope to further indulge in all the amenities available right on the grounds of this little piece of paradise, for an even more relaxing and rejuvenating vacation experience.

I knew as soon as I walked in I was in the right place! Cozy, unpretentious entry. Easy check-in with standard complimentary refreshing wet cloths and Rum Swizzles. Loved our spacious cliff side room. Beautiful beach and ocean view. Nice balcony. Furniture is a little worn. Nice updated bathroom. Called maintenance about sliding door stuck. Took care of it immediately. Noticed some places around resort could use freshening of paint. We enjoyed dining room, bar and lounge. Breakfast included was great. We used the bus system as much as possible because taxis are expensive. Extremely expensive. Enjoyed couples experience at the spa. Nice people working at spa. Nice spa salad lunch included. People were swimming but a bit cold for us in early March. Instead we used the complimentary kayaks available at the beach. Attendant pulls them to the water for you. Walked to nearby Gibbs Lighthouse and climbed to top for great view of the island. Other hotels have been updated to sleek modern decor, and are more pricey. That’s why I call this traditional “Old Bermuda.”The Reefs is an all-around wonderful place to stay!
