Surf Side Beach
Hotel Information: Green lawns, flowering gardens, and sweeping views of the blue Atlantic attract guests to this 4.5-acre beachside resort in Bermuda, where they are left alone to rest and relax.
Amenity highlights: Located on a cliff 90 feet above the Atlantic, a medium-size kidney-shape pool surrounded by a sundeck furnished with lounge chairs provides swimming/sunning opportunities and panoramic ocean views. Curved around one side of the pool, Palms Restaurant & Bar also offers ocean views as well as tranquil dining at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A steep, 300-foot path winds down the cliffside through shady gardens to the ocean. Variable in size depending on the ocean's caprices and shielded by a soaring rock wall, a little pink-shade beach, complemented by a concrete platform at the water's edge, provides isolated sunbathing.
Insider tip: Just 0.5 mile from the resort, Bermuda's popular Railway Trail, from which all types of motor vehicles are barred, offers walking, jogging, and sightseeing opportunities. The trail runs the length of the island.
Surf Side Beach Club offers 40 air-conditioned rooms in two-story pale-yellow buildings with green trim and white roofs perched above the Atlantic Ocean.
Ground-floor patios or second-floor balconies offer full ocean views and come furnished with a two-chair plastic dining set. Each room includes a microwave oven, refrigerator, toaster, and coffeemaker. Some rooms also include a range. Televisions provide U.S. cable channels.
