Grotto
Nice resort, needs some updating. Food was good but the waitstaff was the best I have ever seen. I would go back just for that.
Cheap Carribean staff was very helpful in making our stay enjoyable.
Staff at Grotto Bay very professional, helpful, courteous and responsive to our needs/questions.
Resort is very clean, food delicious and being on the all inclusive plan is a benefit as one does not have to think about budgeting meals - real relaxation.
Spa is quite expensive and very hard to get an appointment. Over our stay, impossible to be booked. Better to book ahead of time - easier to cancel.
The all inclusive bus pass is a plus as transportation is very efficient; buses in front of the resort and allows easy sightseeing.
Thanks to the management for accommodating a late departure.
We did not use the pool/beach as weather was cool, windy and even a whole rainy day. The facilities looked good though.
A shout out to Liviu - most attentive and very pleasant, attending to our meal requests and going the extra mile.
We will be back.

Mixed Review
Starting with the good:
1. While the resort wasn't luxurious, it was cozy and pretty. I prefer a smaller resort over a mega-resort...everything here was in close walking distance.
2. The resort itself is located conveniently close to great features like Blue Hole, Tom Moore's Tavern, the Railway Path, and Crystal Cave/Fantasy Cave. It's also close to the airport.
3. The All-Inclusive package is an excellent value, as food on Bermuda is expensive. The bus/ferry pass for transportation is a nice bonus as well.
4. The food is really delicious - great variety, well-cooked and nicely presented.
The bad:
1. The cleaning service was lousy. The maids did a poor job and were rude, too! They actually yelled at us for being in our room on two separate days. (We had been gone for hours before then!)
2. The front desk staff were incredibly unhelpful. The concierges were never at their desks.
3. The wait staff in the eating establishments were SO friendly and pleasant but also SO slow. a 17% tip is added to every bill and is usually not warranted.

This resort offers a wide variety of delicious beverages. All restaurants are included in the all inclusive package, however some items may be an additional cost.
CaitlinCC
Yes, two dining rooms are dinner choices. The poolside grill is the lunch option and also where theme nights were held.
Oleander
I thought the Dark and Stormy was a little strong for poolside sipping but was excellent as an afternoon or evening cocktail. I loved the Rum Swizzle, it was strong but still fruity. Cymone's surprise was tasty too.
fern428
Yes, although only one is nice. (Magnolia)
Casey20
There are two choices for breakfast and two for dinner. One choice for lunch by the pool and beach, They were all good with a variety of choices and had great service.
RYoda
I stuck with the dark and stormy, but if you get waited on by James, ask for his signature drinks. They were fantastic. Also, you can eat at any of the restaurants.for the all inclusive.
Kier
Yes! I would definitely recommend the all-inclusive. Food is very expensive in Bermuda as a whole so we definitely got our money's worth. We liked the drinks on the all-inclusive menu better than the non-inclusive menu. You can purchase these and they will just charge it to your room. The best thing is that you get a $200 room credit booking through Cheap Caribbean. So if you want to try a drink off the all-inclusive menu, it's covered by the credit! All in all, a win-win. Some of my family liked the Swizzle which is the drink of the island but my personal favorite drink was the Dark and Stormy (Dark Bermuda rum and ginger beer). Purchased bottles of Swizzle for them to take back home and more rum and ginger beer at the airport Duty Free shop. You're allowed one bottle per adult. Of course I bought more but the extra money was very minimal so definitely worth it. I paid an extra $5 for three more bottles...no brainer!
BermudaBound
Breakfast, Lunch by the pool, and both restaurants (Hibiscus & Palm Court) are included with all-inclusive.

All rooms at this resort do come equipped with an air conditioner.
BethCC
Yes and you control them in the room.
RYoda
Yes, they are all air conditioned.
Kier
Yes, the rooms are air conditioned but not too strong during the day. That is fine given that we were gone all day. For some reason, the air conditioner was much stronger during the night while sleeping which is when you want it to work most. I did not consider it a problem.
BermudaBound
Yes, the rooms are air-conditioned with a thermostat in the room.

There are 2 bars that are open noon-1am.
One of them is a bar by the pool, however, it is seasonal (opens end of March).
CCGreg
There is a bar at the pool...it opens at 12:00.
bermudalover
I believe there are 2 bars, one near the lobby by Palm Court and the second is right next to the pool, and is basically a swim up.
I am not certain on the hours of the bars, but I believe the one near palm court opened around 11:30 or noon (after the breakdown breakfast) and is open until at least 1am if not 2am or later.
The bar by the pool opened around noon, lunch would run to 3pm or so, but the bar would was open until at least 5 or 6pm, but the pool is 24 hrs.
Sorry I cannot speak to the hours better, but you can take drinks to go, so what we would do is get one or two each after eating and take them with us to the room.
Joey216
1 bar near pool - says swim up but there is actually about 5 feet between the bar and pool. I'm guessing the bar staff will bring drinks over to you. Not sure what time they open -
BrianMcG
There are two bars, one by the water which opens at 11:00AM and another inside the main building that stays open the latest until 1:00 AM

Is there a buffet for breakfast , lunch and dinner?

Austin
Please check with the resort directly for the most up to date information regarding restaurant menus. If you have any further questions, you may contact the resort directly or call and speak to one of our Beachologists at 1-800-915-2322.
TimCC
There is a breakfast buffet with an omelet bar, waffle maker, and pretty much any morning food selection you could want. We loved the potatoes, bacon, omelets, fruit, cereal, coffee and service.
Lunch is by the pool and is not a buffet, it uses a menu that includes a soup of the day and daily special. We loved the appetizers and salads (specifically the nachos and Caesar). They have several traditional western/american entrees (burger, chicken strips, sandwich) and also some seafood options.
There are two restaurants/rooms for dinner: MAKE RESERVATIONS!
1. Palm Court: more casual and affordable, but less 'exotic' of a menu and more western/american in choices
2. Hibiscus: more formal and expensive. If you like higher-end, meat/fish based menu this is the place for you.
**MAKE RESERVATIONS with guest services in advance**
Dinner always offered a chief special and a catch of the day at either place.
There was an international buffet for dinner on Friday.
We had all-inclusive and loved it. You can check out my review (Joey216) for more details.
Joey216
breakfast buffet. lunch is at the outside bar (we loved it). Dinner is at 2 places (connected) - 1 is buffet and other is sit down.

There is a buffet for breakfast, and dinner. Lunch is a sit down and order by the water with many choices! There is also an option of a fancy sit down dinner.

Located 0.5 miles away from Bermuda International Airport (BDA). Approximate driving time is 5 minutes. The historic town of St. George's, Bermuda's original capital, is only a 7 minute drive away, and Hamilton, Bermuda's largest city, is only 20 minutes away.

What exactly do you have to pay for on the resort? It says all inclusive but others mention paying for things.5 answers

Boston
Things not included would be excursions, top shelf/imported liquors, higher-priced food items, as well as additional services such as spa services, etc.
Features included in the all inclusive:
Accommodations as selected
Breakfast, lunch & dinner
Afternoon tea
Unlimited bar brand drinks (bottles of wine & champagne are excluded)
Nightly entertainment (seasonal)
Daily activities program
Theme night buffets
Weekly Manager's Rum Swizzle Party
JeannieCC
You pay for any additional tip you wish to leave and certain top shelf alcohol is an additional surcharge if used in your drinks. Any motorized water sports (boat rental and jet skis) will have an additional cost as well.
LeaAnn
We did the all inclusive & didn't pay for anything. You get breakfast, lunch and dinner ... beach/pool towels ... snorkel gear, floats, etc.... and drinks from the all inclusive drink menu ... you can also check-out a small sailboat (sunfish) ... even get bus/ferry passes ... all for no additional charge.
The drinks cover pretty much everything, but you won't get the premium spirits. Unless you drink your spirits neat, you probably won't notice anyway. And although the all inclusive spirits are not "premium" per se, they're still reasonable quality. In any case, if you order/request premium spirits, I believe you'll get some sort-of surcharge.
hrothgar
Your more expensive alcohol was not included (Grey Goose, Tangueray Gin, etc.) in the all-inclusive. At Grotto you can either go all-inclusive or not.
MarleneM
They have both, all inclusive and pay as you use. With all inclusive you only have to pay if you use their spa service. Everything else is included. Service was excellent.

How far away are the ocean view superior rooms from pool & restaurants?
1 year, 19 months ago
Maryland
This would depend entirely upon which building, which room, etc. Generally the rooms aren't too far from the restaurants, etc.
JeannieCC
The resort is hilly and there are many stairs. Depending on which building you are assigned will depend on distance. It was a decent trek down for us and many stairs to the pool, beach, poolsode bar and restaurant.
LeaAnn
The restaurants are both in the main building which is adjacent to the building with the ocean view superior rooms. The distance between the two buildings is perhaps 20 - 30 yards.
The pool is down the hill from both buildings at maybe 70 - 80 yards. The walk down to the pool is no big deal. However, if you're out of shape or have knee problems, etc. the walk back up could be a challenge. I'm not in very good shape & my knees are so-so & I didn't have any trouble. A couple of times after a few drinks I felt slightly winded, though.
hrothgar
100s building is close, but I was in 400s. Little more walk. And to go to main building, where breakfast and dinner was served, you have to walk steps towards uphill.
Shahida
The pool and beach are next to each other and the Rooms had wonderful view and a cave you can swim in
