Cambridge Beaches
Hotel Information: Adjacent to a seafaring-style tavern, a wall festooned with the names of longtime guests attests to this Bermuda resort's capacity to inspire loyalty. Widely spaced on the 30-acre peninsula and separated by lawns and flowering gardens, guest cottages occupy rolling terrain, forming a pink-and-white community under coconut palms and ancient Flamboyant trees. The open Atlantic Ocean borders the resort's north side, and Mangrove Bay borders its south side. Children under the age of five are not permitted.
Amenity highlights: Thatch shades and lounge chairs dot the surrounding beaches. Long Bay Café offers lunch and tropical drinks. Other amenities include two pools, an indoor pool with retractable skylight roof, and health-and-beauty spa. There is also a heated, 450-square-foot outdoor pool, and a large sundeck is furnished with lounge chairs and umbrellas. A poolside bar is offered as well. Steps lead from the pool deck to Morning Beach on Mangrove Bay.
Insider tip: Three days weekly, Cambridge Beaches Resort provides complimentary 20-minute ferry rides to downtown Hamilton shops, restaurants, and attractions.
The Cambridge Beaches Resort offers 94 guestrooms and suites in one- and two-story pink-and-white cottages scattered over a 30-acre peninsula on Bermuda's west side. Some cottages are available only as complete units. One cottage dates from the late 17th century. Others date from the early 1800s when they housed workers for the British Royal Naval Dockyard about three miles north. These still bear the names of their last residents. Some cottages began being used for guests in the 1920s, and the resort grew by buying other cottages over the decades. Now, all buildings on the peninsula are part of the resort.
All rooms, suites, and cottages are air-conditioned and also include ceiling fans as a cooling alternative. Ground-floor patios or second-floor balconies come furnished with lounge chairs and dining sets. CD player/AM-FM radios as well as televisions with U.S. cable channels and pay movies offer entertainment.
