Resort was a memorable experience! The restaurants served really high end cuisines! The breakfast buffet was delish! The staff, manager in restaurant (Veronica) was super nice! The servers (Belvan, Esteban, Michael, and a bunch whom I cannot remember names were the best!!!) Only minor minor issue is if you are in a wheelchair or have knee issues (pls request a suite near lobby.) You will end up walking up a steep hill. (PS - the suite was so clean; the bed was firm and the towels were changed daily.) I will return in a heartbeat.

Very convenient to the airport. The pool and beach are good but can get crowded. Many people elect the all inclusive option so you do get families with children. I did not elect all inclusive but we could eat at the restaurants in a pay as you go. Dive and snorkel trips to the reef(s) available on site. There is a bus stop out front for easy access to Hamilton or St George’s. It is walking distance to Swizzle Inn but any other off site dining requires transportation. Crystal and Fantasy Caves are walking distance as is a rail trail walking trail section that is very beautiful. Tom Moore Tavern is very close but lacks a sidewalk so it’s best to Cab or scooter there. Massage in the cave on site is great but they are hard to book and should be done ahead of time.

Enjoyed the view!

This was our first trip to Bermuda as a family, and the property itself was clean, updated, and easy to navigate. The caves and the spa setup on property made this a very cool experience for my family! Gorgeous views! Very happy with the uniqueness of the property. The front service desk staff, the spa, the pool bar staff and the Bellman were amazing! We did run into challenges with the service at dinner. With teenagers aged 15, 13, and eight, it was not a pleasant experience to commit to a 2+ hour experience at dinner. The property would be drastically improved by offering a dinner buffet, similar to the way breakfast is served. Staff was pleasant for all meal service, it just took a very long time to get noticed at the initial seating, get drinks, and was a long wait in between plates. I would also have liked to try more local dishes. Everything was very Americanized. While this is great for picky eaters, I also enjoy experiencing the local culture.

Grotto Bay is great. It’s the only place in Bermuda where you can go cave swimming, and the resort is not too big, which gives it a personal, relaxed feel. The staff was great, all facilities and our guest room was clean, and the food is excellent. I will recommend this resort to friends and family.

This property has everything you need.Pool, beautiful beach, food and drinks. The Staff was professional, friendly and very attentive. Our room was comfortable and clean.although the bathroom was small and there was no hooks or rack to put your clothes. We would have liked other breakfast table service, besides the buffet. The pool bar closes at 5pm, the time should be extended since the walk and stairs to the main lobby bar is too far to get to from the pool. I would recommend the all inclusive since there is only 1 resturaunt near by that is walkable. Taking a taxi is expensive and the buses stop at 6pm

Overall not bad but could’ve been better

The hotel was ok overall however there were a few key things that I didn’t like. They didn’t have complimentary water bottles in the room, the blankets weren’t very warm, and our heat wouldn’t work. I will say that when a problem was presented to them, they attempted to rectify the issue but it could’ve been better. Another thing I didn’t like was that the resort was so far from town, I didn’t realize that Hamilton parish is different from the town of Hamilton so there was only one walkable restaurant from the resort besides the ones within it. I would’ve preferred to be in the town so that more restaurants would’ve been in our vicinity. Nevertheless, it was a bus ride away from the town so not bad. Last thing I’ll say is that, some of the people in Bermuda weren’t too nice, there was a mix of politeness and arrogance all around so that wasn’t very desirable. Things I loved about the resort was that they had their own gym, beach, jacuzzi, and pool which were all 24hrs!! That was really great. Lastly, the breakfast in bed was pretty good. I had a great stay in Bermuda overall but some things could definitely have been improved.

Very mediocre experience at Grotto Bay. The rooms are outdated and a bit dingy. Our first day there, all the toilets in the resort stopped working until mid afternoon & it was pouring rain so we couldn’t even leave to go somewhere else. The bar situation is terrible, doesn’t open until 11am & there’s basically just 1 bar open at a given time.
