Frommer's Review
Far less stuffy than the cottage colonies listed above, this resort encompasses 7 hectares (17 acres) atop Rose Hill (off York St.). It features clusters of traditionally designed Bermudian one- and two-bedroom cottages; all were completely renovated in 1996. For a family or for two or three couples traveling together and sharing a cottage, the price is reasonable. A shuttle bus takes guests to the beach club at Achilles Bay, about a 2-minute ride away, where the beach is sandy with some rocky outcroppings. The Atlantic waters are a bit turbulent in autumn and spring, but they calm during the summer. The complex functions primarily as a timeshare property; units are rented to the public when the owners are not using them. Cottages have private balconies or patios, comfortable living and dining areas, fully equipped kitchens, and bathrooms with sunken tubs (and showers) and marble vanities. Views are of the ocean, the pool, or the golf course.
The colony's elegant restaurant, Griffin's, is open to the public, and is among the finest dining rooms in the East End. Blackbeard's Hideout restaurant is also a popular spot.
Facilities:2 restaurants; 2 bars; 3 freshwater pools (1 heated); adjacent Robert Trent Jones-designed 18-hole golf course (guests receive preferential tee times and reduced rates); 3 all-weather tennis courts (2 lit for night play); watersports equipment/rentals; moped rentals; babysitting upon request; coin-operated laundry; convenience store; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility.
