The Reefs Resort & Club

We stayed at The Reefs from 12/22–12/26 and had a wonderful experience overall. Our room was beautiful, spotless, and had absolutely unbelievable views. The little details really elevated the stay—Elemis shower products, plush robes, and nightly turndown service with mint chocolates on the pillows. We especially loved the card each night with a fun fact (or a bedtime-style story) about Bermuda. The staff was consistently warm, attentive, and welcoming. Getting around / location: On 12/23 and 12/24, we bought the bus pass (which also includes ferry rides) and it was a game-changer. The bus stop is right in front of the hotel, and Bermuda’s bus system is easy to navigate. That said, if your priority is being close to the city center (Hamilton), this may not be the best location for you. The island is small, but The Reefs and the airport are on opposite ends, with Hamilton in the middle. If you’re looking for the widest variety of restaurants and nightlife, you’ll likely spend time in Hamilton. The bus ride from The Reefs to Hamilton took us about 25 minutes, and given how expensive Bermuda is (food and transportation especially), using public transit was a good choice for us. Everything closes from Christmas eve afternoon. Resort amenities: The resort itself is peaceful and enjoyable. There’s a heated pool, though it didn’t feel quite warm enough—on a 65° day it honestly felt like a cold plunge if you were going from the jacuzzi to the pool. The jacuzzi, however, was great and worked well. There’s also a spa on-site (we didn’t try it), afternoon tea (a nice touch, but keep expectations modest), and regular activities like a swizzle rum party and other events. We also liked that they frequently bring live entertainment/singers into the lounge—fun without feeling over-the-top. Food and drink: Solaris is on the property and we tried it for lunch: the fish and chips were just okay, while the fish chowder was decent—but we had a better chowder at La Trattoria. We had dinner one night in the lounge and, unfortunately, it was a miss. The food was so oversalted that the burger was genuinely inedible. That said, one of the biggest perks of our stay was the included breakfast, which was excellent. There was a buffet and the option to order à la carte from a menu with a lot of variety. Coffee and tea were included (though specialty drinks like lattes were not). We were genuinely so grateful breakfast was included—it was one of the best parts of the daily experience. One afternoon we came back from Hamilton and grabbed dessert in the lounge (chocolate cake), and that was excellent too. Overall: Despite a couple of food misses, we truly enjoyed our stay. The service, the views, the cleanliness, and the thoughtful touches made it feel special. The owners even stopped by to introduce themselves, which added to the warm, family-run feel. We’d happily return to The Reefs and would recommend it—especially if you want a relaxing resort stay and don’t mind commuting into Hamilton for more dining options.

The hotel has an excellent location, with a private beach and facilities. In addition, the food and drink, together with the face-to-face service was first class. However, we had to move rooms, after two days, due to the lack of hot water in the bathroom shower and basin of the first room we stayed in. Furthermore, our credit card account was charged twice for the full amount of our stay; something was discovered after we returned to the UK. A full refund of the duplicated charge was provided some four days after it was brought to the attention of the hotel, and seven days after our departure.

Stay was enjoyable. Room was comfortable. Great views. Friendly staff. Good food. Awesome facilities. Relaxing atmosphere. %100 recommend. We will be back December wasn’t too cold nor too hot- the weather was perfect.

Great location right on the South Shore with beautiful views of the beach & sunset! Excellent staff service and we shall be back :)

What a lovely and luxurious getaway on Bermuda's southern shore. December is a quiet time to visit Bermuda, but plenty of holiday spirit and perfect weather for exploring. We even got into the ocean, briefly! Wonderful amenities and unbeatable sunset view from the hot tub. Welcoming staff and delicious dining experiences at breakfast, tea and dinner. A place I look forward to returning to The Reefs next time I come to Bermuda.
