Grotto Bay Beach Resort All Inclusive

We really enjoyed the resort! The beach was awsome! Because you are in the bay you get the great crystal clear water but avoid the waves. Standing out in water or relaxing in a beach chair is the easy life. We used the on site watersports including kayak, snorkel gear and trampoline. The amenities made it easy to stay at the resort without a need to leave. Being our first time in Bermuda, we did rent a moped (right next door) and toured the island. Make sure to jump in the Cathedral Cave! We will be back.

We had a wonderful stay at Grotto Bay! The resort was clean and well maintained, the staff were always very friendly and helpful!!! We opted for the all inclusive plan and it was well worth it. To our surprise we got a bus pass at check in and used it frequently!! It was also very nice to have non motorized water sports included, which we used often!! Our only complaint was service at the poolside bar and restaurant was a bit slow. The food was amazing, we didn't have a bad meal!! It was also very conveinent to have a dive shop right on the property! Dive Bermuda is a great shop and their staff were also very friendly!! We will definitely be staying at Grotto Bay the next time we visit Bermuda!!!

This is a great resort if you want to relax and eat great food. It is very family friendly - although there wasn't much going on after dark. You can rent little boats from the dive shop and that was the highlight of our trip. The boat rentals are not included in the all-inclusive package but the package included non motorized water sports. The resort is beautiful and the beach was very nice. The pool was small and just ok but who wants to spend time in the pool when you have the beautiful beach right there. I think we went in the pool once for a short time. The food is amazing! You will eat good at the resort and everywhere in Bermuda. The bartenders were kinda slow so I recommend you get to know them, ask their names and tip extra if you want really good service. The people were very friendly but some of them were kinda quiet and stone faced. I never felt like I was being scammed or lied to like I have felt in other tourist countries. It's very safe. There are really no places to rent cars if you want to see the island but the bus goes from the hotel all over. You can also easily get a taxi to anywhere. They did have a place you can rent scooters but we didn't feel safe as they drive on the left side of the road. They also have a new thing - little scooter like cars with two seat one behind the other. Might have done that if we planned in advance. Didn't seem to be too much night life unless you go into Hamilton and a few other places. Most things to do are during the day. It seems that another resort on Tobacco Bay was a little more of a party atmosphere but not sure.

We've been to several all inclusive resorts and were pretty disappointed with this one. The whole resort isn't all inclusive so every time you wanted a bottle of water, coffee, etc you had to give your room number and wait to sign a receipt. I'm sorry but the last thing I want on vacation is to wait extra time each time I wanted a beverage and then feel the need to write in a tip EVERY TIME. We've always tipped at all inclusives but this felt forced. The service was okay, they seemed annoyed when we'd leave breakfast and ask for a coffee to go or order our second glass of wine. There was nothing in our room fridge and when I asked about this she said you can get what you want at the bar- but 1- I'm pregnant and maybe I wanted a water at 7am when I woke up and 2- the bar wasn't open at great hours. They wouldn't serve alcohol until 11am and my hubby was pretty bummed, we usually start the day with mimosas when vacationing. The room was very small and dated compared to other places, bathroom was tiny. There was only one pool and lots of kids- again I'm sorry but I want to lounge in the pool and read my book not surrounded by splashing kids (one even threw up in the pool). The food was the best part, everything was really tasty and gave large portions. The beach was beautiful but also tiny, you felt like you were on top of everybody else. The entertainment and overall ambiance was disappointing as well. We won't be back to this resort, for the money we spent we could have had three more nights in Mexico with upgraded service and the private swim up pool.
