I am trying to decide where to stay when traveling to Bermuda in early October. I am torn between the Cambridge Resort and the Fairmont Southhampton. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Also, is this a good time to travel to Bermuda (early October or would September be better?)

My husband & I are deciding whether to take our daughter, son-in-law and year-old granddaughter on a cruise to Bermuda or the Caribbean in June. We've been to different islands in the Caribbean, but never to Bermuda. I have heard that Bermuda is a beautiful island and am anxious to visit, but I have a few questions. Are there a lot of things to do there for young adults? Are there many places to snorkel? Do the beaches have shady areas? My husband has had skin cancer and he needs to stay out of the sun between swims.

Thanks for any info you can give me.

Can anyone give me a definate answer on this one. My husband and I are planning a cruise to Bermuda at the very beginning of Oct. Is it beach weather there that time of year and will the water be to cold for swimming and snorkeling? I have gotten answers on both ends of the spectrum. I am hoping to find someone who has been there this time of year. Thanks so much!

Are motorcycles available for rental or just scooters?

We are cruising to Bermuda and our ship will be docked for four days in St George. We like to go out on our own and we'll be renting mopeds. I would like to know if there are beach areas we would be allowed to use to swim and snorkel. Our ship offers a shore excursion to Horseshoe Bay, but we would just like to go there on our own. Do you know if this is permitted, if the beach is public or private? Thanks for your help!

Does anyone know how late the kings wharf horse and carriage rides are available? I've asked everywhere and nobody knows.

Hi we are coming just for a day on a cruise -any reccomendations on best way to see the sights and what should we see ?

If you are traveling from anywhere close to Charleston, SC to Bermuda, please let me know. I am really wanting to get my hands on a bottle or two of Bermuda Gold Liquor from Somers Distillers (Not the Bermuda Gold from Goslings). Please let me know if you're going. Thanks!

Is this a nice place to stay in bermuda or is it a little boring and too far off the beaten path type of place? We plan on renting a moped but will it still be difficult to get around the island from this point?

He,
Just wondering if anyone has ever stayed at the Devonshie Cottages? I guess it would be C16 on Bermudarentals.com Just wondering if this is an ideal place to stay.
thanx

Wondered if anyone had the recipe for the wonderful Caesar Salad made tableside at the Waterlot inn?

Thanks for the info.

Hello my sister and I will be traveling to Bermuda in November and we are curious as to the best place to stay that is affordable and not specifically romantic?

Any help would be most appreciated!

Cheers!

We have never used this service nor have we used an all inclusive. IS the MAP worth it on Bermuda? IF so, which are the best resorts that offer it?

We are going 1st week of April 2008. We are 40 and celebrating our 10 yrs. annivisary. We would like resort recommendations. Not too secluded of a resort and a medium to high end resort preferred. We are also looking into the MAP plans with dinner included. All suggestions welcome.

We are planning a trip 4/3/08 - 4/7/08. I checked the weather avg. for then and are fine with the fact that it may be too cool to swim ( we are not really looking for a swimming vacation). THis is our first trip to Bermuda and it seems like there is a lot to do, scooters, shopping, sightseeing, etc. Here are my questions:
1. are most of the "tourist" water activities shut down at this time, booze cruises, rental boats, etc?
2. How crowded are the resorts at this time?
3. is there enought to do on the island for 4 days without swimming?

Thanks

We are considering a crusie to Bermuda and what ed to know if it was better to speand more time in the Hamilton side or St. George? If you are at one can you reach the other, which is better for beaches or general vactions??

Thanks

I am planning a wedding for June 2008. I am looking for affordable housing for my family and friends, does anyone have any ideas.

Hi!

I am planning to visit Bermuda at the end of July. I know it's pretty hot at this time of year. Is it bearable?

Also, I would like to stay somewhere not far from Hamilton (me and my wife like to be close to the city). What relatively inexpensive hotels would you recommend that are within a short taxi ride to Hamilton? I understand that pries in Bermuda are pretty high. I am looking for a 3-4 star hotel near or on the beach that is not outrageously expensive (within $180/night).

Thanks!

Hi,
I am traveling to Bermuda's west end by cruise at the end of July. Since we will only be there for the day, I want to make sure I see/do the very best. Can you please let me in on a locals idea of a must do list? I do not want to get stuck in the tourist traps.
Thanks!!!

But I don't know when I'm coming home to Boston. Although it isn't rated as high as some other resorts...Groto Bay is where we want to stay. I'ld truly appreciate any and all responses and hope to open this posting into a forum of open discussion that will eventually prepare for my reunion and honeymoon tarvel.

Hi,

We will be visiting Bermuda for 8 hours in April on a trans-atlantic cruise. Any suggestions on what we might do? What would be the best use of our time?

Thanks in advance.

We were thinking of going to Bermuda April 28-May2 for our anniversary. We love to snorkel and beach bum. Will it be too cold for that then?

I'm entertaining a job offer on this fine isle, or so I've heard...I've never been there. Does anyone know the pros and cons of Bermuda? Esp. interested in mundane, normal life, things like how one shops for food (are there supermarkets or is it like small European shops???).

Many thanks in advance.

My wife, daughter and I look to be visiting Bermuda in July. I've had a nice response from Muriel at "The Old Rectory" B&B and it sounds interesting. I'm a bit concerned that one room only has a fan, instead of air conditioning. I know av daily temps are about 84 in July, but what about at night?

Does anyone have any great suggestions on b&b or small inns? We'd love to get a "two bedroom" room situation, so that my teenaged daughter can have her own space.

Hi - We are thinking about coming to bermuda for 5 days from 30 Dec and Jan 4th. Is it a good time to visit? How cold does it get? I'm sure watersports are out of question. How about Golf and Spa?
Thanks in advance!

WE ARE LOOKING TO TRAVEL TO BERMUDA MID OCT. 2007 FOR OUR 10TH ANNIVERSARY AND SO FAR OUR FAVORITE RESORT IS THE REEFS. WE WOULD LIKE SOMETHING ROMANTIC ON THE BEACH YET INCLUDE AT LEAST BREAKFAST AND DINNER AT THE RESORT AND WE HAVE FOUND THIS AT THE REEFS BUT WE HAVE READ THEY ARE COMPLETELY RENOVATING THE WYNDHAM WHICH MAY BE RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE REEFS. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHERE IT IS IN ADJACENT TO THE REEFS AND HOW FAR APART THEY ARE AND OF COURSE IF THEY THINK THIS WILL IN ANYWAY AFFECT OUR TRIP. IF ANYONE HAS ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS ON WHERE TO STAY WE WOULD LOVE IT!
