The Reefs Review

Having benefited from a radical renovation that effectively put it out of commission for long periods, this is one of the island's state-of-the-art inns, opening onto a private beach of pink-flecked sand surrounded by palm trees and jutting rocks.

This inn boasts unmatched ocean views and a somewhat startling loyalty from many island residents, many of whom cite it as their preferred island getaway. With components interconnected with steep and sometimes long flights of concrete stairs, this "lanai colony" of salmon-pink cottages on Christian Bay spreads along the top of a low coral ridge. Each accommodation is cheerfully decorated with comfortable furnishings and has a private sun deck, not-overly spacious bathrooms, separate dressing areas, and dual basins. The hotel's "Cottage Suites by the Reefs" are the most desirable.

If you want to let your hair down a bit, opt for Coconuts; there's no finer or more romantic spot in Bermuda for an alfresco sunset dinner than this beach terrace. The chefs draw inspiration from around the world -- Thailand to the United States. La Serena (serenity) spa offers, among other services, Thai and other styles of massage. Other spa services range from reflexology to facials.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; babysitting; 3 golf courses nearby; limited health club; mopeds; 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.
