Though it claims to be “Bermuda’s Best Beach Resort,” the mid-range Coco Reef is far from it. Don’t expect beautiful decor, a host of on-site amenities, great dining, or even an exemplary beach. Instead Coco Reef is home to dated rooms, a mediocre restaurant, and a subpar stretch of sand. There’s little to do at the hotel, considering there’s no spa, fitness center, or on-site entertainment. Still, the resort is more affordable than any other resort on Bermuda's desirable south shore, and there are plenty of attractions nearby, including the famed Elbow Beach right next door. The nearby Fourways Inn is a nicer, more affordable option, but it’s not beachfront. Similarly priced Grotto Bay does have a small beach, but it's on the harbor near the airport, far from the south shore.

The breezy, laid-back Newstead Belmont Hills Golf Resort & Spa is one of Bermuda’s only properties built within the last decade, and modern rooms, gourmet dining, a serene spa, and a spectacular infinity-edge pool prove it has raised the luxury bar for Bermuda’s more seasoned resorts. Even better, a central location puts nearly every major attraction less than a 20-minute drive away -- something that almost makes up for a lack of beachfront.

There’s no denying that the upscale Elbow Beach is one of the island’s top resorts. The 98-room beachfront property has some of the most modern and luxurious rooms in Bermuda, as well as a half-mile stretch of pink-sand beach, a beautiful pool, an Asian-inspired spa, five tennis courts, and four on-site restaurants. It’s a quiet, secluded property that’s best suited for adults and couples, although families with children are certainly welcome. An equally impressive, and similarly priced option is the Rosewood Tucker’s Point, but guests looking for a smaller, more intimate property might prefer The Reefs.

Built as a private home and eventually transformed into a restaurant and small hotel, Fourways Inn has been part of Bermudian history since 1727. It is best known for its eponymously named restaurant — often called one of the best on the island — and many Bermudians do not even realize that Fourways Inn also has 10 guest rooms. For those who are spending the night, Fourways Inn has charming gardens, a small pool, and offers freebies like parking, Wi-Fi, and daily breakfast. Rooms are a bit dated, but many have balconies overlooking the harbor. Although the property is not on the beach, it’s within walking distance of both the Salt Kettle and Belmont ferry terminals, which offer service to and from downtown Hamilton. Travelers looking to stay directly in Hamilton should check out Kingston House B&B, which has similar charm and comparable nightly rates, but doesn’t have an acclaimed on-site restaurant.
