The Reefs Resort & Club

Much of our conversation on the trip revolved around how perfect it all was. Bermuda is just a great place. The Reefs was a stretch for our price range but we're so glad we did it.

Perfect experience. Room, food, staff was excellent. Spa is one of a kind and very special. We would return when in Bermuda.

Quite simply, the Reefs Resort and Club is the very best in Bermuda ~ and clearly in the Top 10 in the Caribean as well. Between it's spectacular location in Southampton, incredible private beach, architectural design, intimate charm, and a staff so pleasant to engage with, there are just too many reasons why we will always return. You will be rewarded while checking-in; not just with the Rum Sqwizzle, but feeling like family right away ~ and that you have made the right choice in a tropical location. The recent design changes to Solaris Restaurant and Lounge, with its new covered terrace, are simply spectacular. The entertainment is much appreciated. Coconuts is a great beachside restaurant with incredible view of the sunset, Bermuda longtail birds, and the crystal clear beach waters. We have a great appreciation to the new Chef Carlos Melendez! The team at The Reefs has certainly transformed this beautiful boutique hotel into something with world class standards (Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, etc.). Between Coconuts and the newly re-designed Solaris, you will find it hard to find a reason to leave the property. Dinners were exceptionally good at Solaris ~ with great panoramic views of this spectacular South Shore beach. I have been luck to visit Bermuda a dozen times before meeting my wife. We have loved vacationing at The Reefs for decades; and still talk about our perfect wedding at The Reefs. We just celebrated our 10th visit, & 29th Anniversary there, and know in our hearts that it was the best choice. Again, congratulations to Mr. David Dodwell, Sr. and his family for operating this perfect spot. We are definitely looking forward to celebrating our 30th Anniversary next year at The Reefs :) Thank you, Mr. David Dodwell, and your entire team, for another stay in Paradise! Bill

This was our sixth visit to The Reefs. We love the beach, the views, the staff and the restaurants. Extremely quiet at night and not an "uppity" resort (which we prefer). Spa and spa treatments were amazing. The new restaurant, Solaris was stunningly beautiful and the food was awesome! Love the work that was just done to the restaurant including the outside covered deck and the beautiful new furniture and windows. The Dodwells who own the property are always onsite and make a point of talking to guests. Beach BBQ on Thursday night is crazy good. We would just love 2 bottles of water daily instead of the water from jugs. It wasn't tasting great this visit. Rooms are in need of a refresh especially the shower floors. The beach is always beautiful but the week we were there had lots of Sargassum. The Reefs is to be commended for their Herculean efforts to clean it daily with a tractor and some very hard working men. We will be back soon! A special shout out to the young lady who works on the beach and delivers drinks and food. She is awesome and always smiling. Also Lisa was an amazing waitress at breakfast and dinner. Every room has amazing views. The whole property is beautiful.

My wife and I stayed at The Reefs again last week and were reminded why we keep coming back. It's simply the best boutique hotel on the island. Sure, there are a lot of new/reimagined properties that have opened recently, but none can compete with The Reefs in terms of location - especially the onsite beach, which is one of the best on the island. Everything about the hotel just feels warm, gracious and relaxing. It's hard to put a finger on it, but here are just a few examples: - Everyone on the staff is extremely friendly and will address you by name. We did not see a single disgruntled worker anywhere, no matter what they were doing. Everyone we spoke to was both friendly and helpful - front desk, housekeeping, bell staff, restaurant servers, beach attendants, etc. When we came down to the beach late in the day and all of the umbrellas were taken, one of the beach guys immediately set up a new one for us! - The quality of the food was very impressive, even relative to previous visits. Menu selections were varied, presentation was artful and the blending of flavors was surprisingly creative. Their cocktail menu was equally intriguing. We ate several meals at the beachside restaurant, including one dinner on the beach itself. There are not many places in Bermuda where you can have dinner with your toes in the sand! - The property is extremely well maintained. Furnishings are new, indoor and outdoor spaces are very clean, and everything is kept in working order. It's not easy to maintain buildings that are this close to the ocean, and not all properties do it this well. This may seem trivial, but the air conditioning in our room was very powerful but extremely quiet. In many other hotels the loud AC can keep you up at night!
