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.

Loved the all inclusive option. Great location and great private beach. Easy transportation from the resort to all areas of the island and easy taxi drive to and from the airport. Staff was friendly and helpful at all times of the day. We had a great first time on the island and hope to return again.

This is for the ladies of size or anyone with a handicap: this property is built on a hillside, you will be walking uphill or up stairs A-LOT. Aside from that this place was very accommodating, clean, and has everything you need in one place. We traveled around the island a lot so this place wasn’t very centrally located but we made it work. We used taxi most but also used the bus, ferry, and rental “cars”. I’m very large and fit in/on all. Super friendly people everywhere, food was great, excursions too. Clearwater beach is the best kept secret and close to the Grotto resort. Don’t let your size or handicap deter you. Just take your time and enjoy.

The staff is so friendly and helpful. The beach is beautiful, and the property as a whole is very relaxing!! The food was excellent!!. The only negative comment is the rooms. I did not like the flooring, and the bathrooms are outdated. That being said, I would still choose Grotto Bay over any other property on the Island.

Such a beautiful place, right on top of two accessible caves. Also the bus stops right in front of the hotel as well. Splurge and get the ocean front view You also don’t need to get the all inclusive if you’re planning to venture around the island. Staff was helpful and lovely. Highly recommended!

The property could have been cleaned, dirty dishes on walls and outside buildings. Beach area littered with towels and drink glasses. No one cleaned up the beach area all day. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The new renovations are beautiful and housekeeping was terrific.

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.
