“Such a nice place with very pleasant staff !”
Location is awesome, close to airport but there are so few flights that you never even know it. Staff are very very nice and attentive. We left our camera bag on the Beeline shuttle when we got dropped off at the hotel from the airport. Well, the bellman took care of it and much to our pleasant surprise, the hotel retrieved it and had it secured for us the next am and it was returned perfectly. That was amazing! Caves were gorgeous. The only minor concern was the hotel bar and restaurant were a bit overwhelmed at times. Right around the corner from the hotel is the Swizzle Inn...bar and restaurant...informal, very nice team there, food was good, drinks even better. St George's is a must see and Hamilton in December is slow due to low tourist traffic. Bus system excellent. We will go back for sure.
“Grotto Bay Resort Bermuda”
The Hotel is in a great location on the island, easy to get to most sights, attractions, restaurants etc. by the bus system. That is the way you should travel around the island as it is very efficient and cheap. The buses are in good condition and the drivers are very helpful. You will meet many locals which are extremely friendly and helpful as well. There are no beggars or unsavory people to avoid as in many other holiday destinations, no worries about heading out to see or do anything here! Downtown Hamilton has great shopping and wonderful restaurants to enjoy! Front street is a must see for both the view, shopping and food. Flanagin's Restaurant will ALWAYS feed you well. Hogpenny's is just around the corner as well and is the oldest restaurant on the island. I don't recommend the Swizzle Inn just down the street from the hotel, the food isn't great and the restaurant seems dirty, sticky tables, generally really "pub like" but it is convenient. The hotel restaurant has good food and should be enjoyed, I recommend the lamb dinner, it's great with a good bottle of wine from the cellar. For breakfast, just eat the self serve in the lounge, more than adequate and priced well (you pay for what you want to eat). If you're not a walker, there are a lot of stairs here, and you'll be going up and down all the time. Keep this in mind! There are lots of sights to see in Bermuda, take the time and go see them! I recommend this hotel and trip, I'll be back!
“I'd book again.”
This hotel has many wonderful amenities. It's very close to the airport for those of us staying a short time. I was there in early March so the large heated pool and jacuzzi were a real plus. Swimming in the beautiful cavern was amazing. The fact that it was on several bus lines was a real plus as was the fact that you can walk to the Swizzle Inn and the Crystal Caves. While it was too cold while I was there, it's nice that there is a watersports facility on site, including kayaking and scubadiving. The beach is small but the children looked like they enjoyed it. It appeared to be children friendly. Visitors should know ahead of time that the hills and stairs to and from rooms is a bit of a climb. Overall, it is a lovely option.
“Great stay at Grotto Bay in March”
Our deluxe ocean front room was as advertised: recently updated furnishings, beautiful view of the bay. The resort grounds were well maintained. The pool and hot tub were excellent. The small beach was very pleasant. On site water sports were convenient. We were very fortunate to get unusually nice weather for mid March which made for a wonderful stay. The on site grottos are unique, and there are 2 interesting hikes accessible from the resort. Access to the rest of the island is by bus which can be time consuming but not too bad (don't expect to be able to bicycle from the hotel, the roads are too narrow/hilly and there is too much traffic). The Swizzle Inn is walking distance. Didn't try the resort restaurants but there was both a high end and casual offering which is convenient. Breakfast foods were available a la carte. I would strongly recommend Grotto Bay to couples or families.
“Grotto Bay, Bermuda”
A VERY CONVENIENT LOCATION CONSIDERING ISLANDS TRANSPORTATION. ROOM AS EXPECTED, STAFF ALL HELPFUL BUT RESTAURANT WAIT STAFF WAS BELOW STANDARD FOR THE FIXED TIP THEY INCLUDE AND THE PRICE OF THE MEALS.
“Excellent”
Beautiful setting, great value! Very accomodating to all of our requests,
“Have to Like Roosters”
We really enjoyed our stay at the Grotto Bay, although it was difficult to sleep at night. The roosters crow 24/7, right outside your room. Our room was very nice and the staff there were excellent. All facilities are as advertised. Nice private beach, good food, although only one other restaurant in walking distance. If we go back, we will probably try to stay where there is not a rooster problem.
“Grotto Bay - Out of Way - But Worth it!”
The Grotto Bay Hotel was great. Nice room, friendly and helpful staff. Good food! Altough not on the south shore by the beaches, the hotel is great for those who prefer to enjoy peace and quiet (which they do not get in Hamilton) and still be within a short distance of Hamilton and St. George. Best Bonus - right next to the original Swizzle Inn and thus you can swagger out and back to the hotel in no time.
“Great place to stay”
We stayed in Groto Bay Beach Hotel for five nights. The hotel is very clean and the staff is very helpful. Great breakfast. Since we are vegetarian, the food choices were limited as in any other place. The bathrooms are relatively small but that did not pose any problem to us. In all other respect the place is great. No surprises. Easy access to bus service and crystal caves. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets. We will certainly stay again.
“Beautiful Resort”
Loved the bathroom in the room. Very spacious room, Beautiful beach and very secluded. Bus stop right out in front of hotel. Swizzle Inn within walking distance. I would definetely stay there again.
