Picolo recommends · Hotel in Southampton, Bermuda
The Reefs Resort and Club
Step from your sea-view room down to the sand: The Reefs is the south shore hotel where you can hear the surf from bed.
Waves break on the rocks below, and the beach is just a staircase away. The Reefs is built along a low cliff on the south shore in Southampton, with rooms facing the Atlantic and a restaurant set right on the sand.
There is a pool and a spa for the hours out of the sun, and Horseshoe Bay, the best known beach on the island, is close by. From there a coastal path leads east past small coves all the way to Warwick Long Bay.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose The Reefs Resort and Club
We chose The Reefs because the beach is right below your room, and that matters on an island built around its shoreline. It is among the most popular hotels in Bermuda, and it works for couples and families.
It is not cheap, and Hamilton is a bus or taxi ride away. Its popularity also means it fills up early for the summer months, so book well ahead if your dates are fixed.
