I'm planning a 3-4 night trip to Bermuda. Any advice on what hotel to stay at or which ones to avoid?

Haven't been there in a few years but you can't go too far wrong with the hotels in Bermuda. Depends where you want to be and what you want. Fairmont Southampton, Hamilton Princess, Elbow Beach, come to mind. Drink rum and have fun.

We stayed at the Hamilton Princess. It's 2 blocks from the downtown shopping and the cruise docks. I remember having breakfast in the dining room and watching the cruise ships go right by the windows. We took the shuttle to their other hotel and had afternoon tea there and then climbed the lighthouse. I think we also saw a nice garden or zoo and explored cave in Bermuda. You can also rent mopeds and explore the island; it's only 20 miles long and very narrow. It's the only island we'd go back to ! Enjoy !

Please post your thoughts on the cruise when done. I've read a bunch of bad stuff about the Breakaway. Interested in your opinion....

Love Burmuda, Stay at the Grotto Bay, I booked it with cheap caribian dot com, got a great deal. I did the all inclusive because food is pricey. But at the grotto all drinks and food was included. I rented a shooter and then can go all over the place at your own pace. i think rental was like $60/day. Hamilton is a great city and the one steak house is awesome(pricey) but really good.
This was my fav. vacation ever
good luck

Thanks Nick. Exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Thanks.
Checking with Grotto Bay it looks like it is a $200 a night charge for the all inclusive meals. Wife is a Vegan and really doesn't eat much so I'm thinking that is not a good choice for us. But I do like the place so it may be my choice. Still investigating...

Rex.....well not so much.....lol
