We spent a week here in April, Grotto Bay Resort & Spa is close to the airport and the bus stop is at the entrance to the hotel. You can buy bus tickets at reception or download the bus/ferry App where you can purchase different packages of travel, just activate each time you travel. All the reception staff were friendly and helpful as were the restaurant, bar and pool bar staff who were very friendly. The hotel was not too busy as were were there after the Easter Holiday's. We did not go for the all inclusive plan as we were out during the day most of the time and ate out at different places some evenings When we did eat at the hotel the food was of a good standard and well presented with a good choice on the menu's. Breakfast was a buffet but of a high standard and lots of choice. Bermuda is an expensive island but the hotel bar prices were in line with expectations, I would say the all inclusive works if you use the hotel restaurants most of the time and drink cocktails etc. Entertainment in the bar most nights which was very good. We had a sea view room in the 100 block which is close to the pool and beach but an uphill walk to the main building and restaurants. The room was very clean and we had towels changed daily, bed was large and comfortable. Make sure to visit the cathedral caves at the resort Would recommend the hotel for the location, facilities and value for money.

Really enjoyed our stay on room only basis. We were based in a top floor room (632) which was fine with a good view. The only issue that occurred was that birds were nesting in the roof space above the room which made lots of noise from the young chicks together with noise from movements of the adult birds, which sounded like rats running around in the roof area above the room. The birds seemed to access the roof from the balcony of the adjoining room. I would suggest when the nesting season has finished, the gaps in the roof areas should be sealed in the future to prevent future nesting. Other than that issue we had a very enjoyable stay and would definately return again if we revisit Bermuda.

Best massage of my life!! Many many thanks to Lisa, who was Excellent!... so accommodating... making the surprise gift experience (birthday present from the kids) one of the most relaxing, enjoyable and health promoting services I've received. Stunning location and atmosphere... feels like a movie set. Wish I could be a regular. Will make this experience a priority if ever back to Bermuda! Cheers to the folks at the Grotto Spa - Bermuda!

We stayed at the Grotto Bay Beach Resort and Spe from March 20th until 27th and what an excellent experience it was. We arrived late (10pm) due to our flight being delayed in Canada, but we had no problems checking in. We stayed in room 152 which is located on the second floor in the Smith's building. Our room was perfect for our needs and had a view of the Ocean. We were central to the pool, beach, restaurants and Rum Bar. We did the all inclusive package and highly recommend it if you plan on having a few drinks during the day and evening (beers are $10 and mixed drinks are $15). Make sure to try a Rum Swizzle and a Dark 'n Stormy. The staff made us feel like family. We met David the night manager on our first night and he made us feel at home. I don't think there is a person on the Island who can compete with David's Bermuda shorts collection. Raymond the Restaurant Captain made all of our meals so enjoyable. He always greeted us with a smile and asked us how our stay was. Raymond had the answers to every question we had. The entire restaurant staff was incredible. I haven't seen this level of professionalism at any other resort I've been to. The food was excellent. The portion sizes were bigger than I expected. I'm not sure who decides the sandwich of the day, but they need a promotion. Make sure to try the Fish Chowder. Highly recommended. Don't miss the Sunday brunch or the International buffet. We spent the majority of our time on the beach. It was a little chilly while we were there but that didn't stop us from getting a tan. I went snorkelling a couple times and there is a shipwreck about 20-30 feet from shore. Unfortunately the beach bar and restaurant weren't open during our stay, but they looked amazing. We met Shane by the pool one day and he took us on a mini tour of the resort. I've been to a lot of resorts and met a lot of workers in my travels and I can tell Shane is going to be a very valuable member to the resort. It was an absolute pleasure to have met him. He also helped us get out luggage from our room to the lobby on our last day. We spent the majority of our nights at the Rum Bar. One night they had a DJ (Bubbles I think) that got the whole place dancing and singing. Another night they had a saxaphonist (Keeping it Saxy) who was awesome. The Rum Bar has two of the best bartenders I've ever met. A big thank you to Zhiyah "Z" and Darreana. They were so personable and I always walked away with a smile after talking to them. Make sure to check out the Cathedral Cave on property. Words and pictures don't do it any justice. You have to see it yourself. My wife got a massage in the cave at the Nature Spa. It's a once in a lifetime setting and she said it was so relaxing. We did a 4 hour guided tour of the Island with a driver named JB (Dreadlocks). Highly recommended. Go to the excursion counter in the lobby and request him. He will not disappoint you. We also did an afternoon at the Swizzle Inn. It's expensive but worth going to. It was a 5 minute walk from the resort. I want to thank all of the wonderful staff who helped make our trip so enjoyable. You really helped us create memories we will never forget.
