Bermuda Tips

Bermuda. Talk about a tropical destination. Thoroughly recommend it for a weekend away. So beautiful and yet so simple. Maybe we were lucky with the weather, but i've honestly never felt more amazed at seeing such pristine beaches and clear blue water. Describing the people as friendly would be an understatement!!

FLY out of JFK (JetBlue or American) or Newark (United) - we flew American out and JetBlue back for a total cost of $300 return. Flight time is a whopping 2hrs!!

STAY at a resort on the beach if you can afford it. We stayed at the Royal Palms. A really lovely hotel and we had a great deal at just under $200 per night. While it was great to walk into Hamilton, it was a taxi ride to the beaches. We spent the day at the Rosewood at Tucker's Point which was gorgeous. I also hear the Fairmont's are very nice.

EAT at Mickey's on Elbow Beach. Good food and a lovely beach to spend the day on. (Otherwise, we were at a wedding, so had everything else organised)

OTHER STUFF TO NOTE. It's a golfers paradise, so bring your clubs if you so desire. Taxis are needed everywhere and can really add up - the transfer from the airport to Hamilton takes about 20mins and costs $30.
