Pompano Beach Club Review

Directly adjacent to the Port Royal Golf Course, with a respected pedigree dating back to 1956, this was and is the only fully American-owned hotel and resort on Bermuda. With a spectacular (some say mystical) view over a rocky shoreline, it's perched on a limestone hill, above a cove beach fringed with rocky outcroppings. From the terraced beach above the hotel's clubhouse, waist-deep water covers the clean, sandy bottom for the length of 2 1/2 football fields before the deep water begins. The Atlantic is so close that from the public areas, you'll get the illusion that you're onboard a cruise ship headed out to sea. Contained within a low-rise complex of well-maintained buildings, it attracts couples of all ages who want privacy, tranquillity, and the comfort of mostly American administration as headed by members of the Lamb family; golfers especially like this place.

The hillside villas scattered over the landscaped property have a balcony or terrace to take advantage of the ocean views. If you can afford it, request the deluxe rooms at the top of the price scale, as these accommodations often have wet bars, double sinks, and showers near (separate) oversize tubs.

If you don't want to dine around at night, you can order meals in either of its two well-orchestrated restaurants; the Ocean Grill and the Cedar Room alike are recommended. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle to and from the local Rockaway ferry stop, making it easier for guests to commute back and forth from Hamilton.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; cafe; 2 bars; babysitting; concierge; health club & spa; mopeds; Jacuzzi; pool (outdoor); watersports equipment/rentals; Wi-Fi (free in clubhouse)

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
