Smith's Parish Hotels from S$542

"Their biggest pool - the one in their profile picture, was not open. I also resented that they did not have a water refill station, anywhere. They said that my only option for fresh water was to pay $2.50/ per plastic bottle to my room. When I asked if I could drink the sink water, they cautioned against it. It was surprising to me how hard it was to get water here, especially considering that they have a great sauna on the property; you would think hydration would be more of a concern."

"I was not impressed. There’s 2 stagnant shallow pools; no jacuzzi. ‘Ocean view’ room was overlooking the local fractional townhouses. Did not feel like their profile pictures. Not a lot to do there - They have no bikes, no scooters, anything like that. The only option to get anywhere is to wait for their van. Even the beach had assigned seating, it was weird. I did not like it here."

"This was my third trip to Bermuda Unfortunately, Grotto Bay did not live up to the standards of other resorts on the island. The front end needs a course on customer service. Day prior to my arrival, I called and requested earlier check in at 2 pm and was told there are no guarantees…it ended there. Booked 5 nights here and called guest services several times to book a massage and no answer. Left a message at the front desk told to keep calling back she was busy. On my third day I was finally able to book a massage. The rooms are outdated and need refreshing. On a positive note beautiful view from my room, mattress was comfy, and the sheets were clean. This resort is sprawling and very hilly take note if you have mobility issues. Breakfast buffet $31 pp good selection to choose from. During my trip I booked some excursions off site and received the warm welcoming vibe that Bermuda is known for. Unfortunately it fell flat here and the hospitality standard needs a major overhaul! "

"Phenomenal experience in every way."

"The stay and location was lovely, but we have objections about hidden fees. At the start they asked for over $3000 to hold for 'incidental costs' and assured us that it would be returned to us if we didn't do anything. We thought this was awfully high, but then discovered that they kept most of it at the end with some fees that make sense, but others that make none, such as an 'Accommodation Fee' of $1000 each night. What was the purpose of paying for a hotel room if we had to pay even more for it by being 'accommodated' in it?"

"We especially loved the setting of our two-storey cottage on top of the rise. From the bedroom and balcony we could see across St. George’s to the harbour."

"Everything was perfect! People were amazing and helpful in every way. It was easy to get around. Views were breathtaking! "

"Beautiful beach. Courteous staff."

"Location was beautiful. The beach spectacular, hot tub was relaxing, pool is heated, three different restaurants to eat from all delicious."
