Doesn't anyone in Bermuda

[Bermuda Longtail]

WildrozeThanks your comments on Bermuda. I enjoy reading everyone's wonderful comments as it makes me feel so good. I am actually a transplanted American - originally from Virginia. Yes, Snorkel Park is open - I was up in Dockyard in August having lunch and walked over to check it out. Looked like a lot of fun and great for the cruise ship passengers.

Thank you for the info Bermuda Longtail, we will be sailing to Bermuda October 2nd on the Empress of the Seas. We are due to arrive at the Dockyards on the 5th. Looking forward to visiting Snorkel Park.

Thanks again,

Wildroze

Longtail, its been a tradition for us to walk down front street to The Waterloo where we have afternoon tea. What think you?

Hi Longtail,

 

Just wanted to let you know that we just LOVE BERMUDA!! It's my favorite destination and this is our 5th trip back - arriving on the Empress of the Seas Oct 4th - can't wait to dip my toes in that wonderfully warm, clear water.

 

We are definitely going to check out the new Snorkel Park when we get there. I was disappointed that it wasn't open on our last trip. We will also be going to Horseshoe Bay, as usual, as well as some of the other bays (Church) that we've heard are great snorkeling.

 

I would love to be transplanted in Bermuda - it's a little bit of heaven on earth!

MeBob, I didn't realize Waterloo did afternoon tea. I've only had afternoon tea at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess! You see, I too, learn things about Bermuda by reading these boards!!

 

Imagolfnut, so nice to hear such good things about Bermuda. I just love it here too! I believe Church Bay is still closed. Only beach this time of year with a lifeguard is Horseshoe Bay - which is my favorite. I came here in 1979 as a visitor and ended up coming back and marrying a Bermudian!

Myself and a few other friends (female), males stayed at a local pub :), went to Waterloo one afternoon for high tea. Waterloo is very "Bermudian", harbor view is lovely. High Tea...well, it was disappointing to me. Tables outside (no linen, which I had assumed there would be), table set up inside, with scant amount of tiny sandwiches, a bit of sweets, and tea of course. We joked that it must have been "high" tea, as the tea urn was on a high pedestal!! :) Believe it ran about $14.pp. We did have a nice relaxing time, so in the end it was worth it! ;)

The afternoon tea at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess is in the bar on the left off the lobby. It will run around $30. You get two scones with the clotted cream and jam, four little sandwiches, four different tiny desserts and a sorbet. There is a selection of different teas so you can choose the one you like best. I recommend the Paris tea. The tables are covered in linen so it is "Proper Afternoon Tea."

Pompano Beach Club is rated #1 on www.tripadvisor.com ;)

A good place for a meal is La Trattoria in Hamilton....nothing too fancy but good food and lots of it..They also make a great brick oven pizza.:D :D

Some of the recommendations on these boards sound like their from people with axes to grind. I would much prefer hearing what Bermuda locals think. They know the best hotels and restaurants. Even if they themselves don't go to the finest and best places, they know where to send you and what to suggest.

Here in NY, I may not go to Peter Lugars for steak but I sure would recommend it.

 

What think you, Longtail?

I am thinking of taking the Zenith in the 3rd week of September. Can anyone tell me what the weather would be like? Thanks.

It should be very nice, warm water and reasonable temps as long as there isn't a storm..

For Bermuda weather go to www.weather.bm and click on "climate data". You can access monthly weather records going back 4-5 years so you can see what the weather was like in September. It also gives the average sea temperature so you'll have a good idea about warm the water is. :)

Mebob--How you doing. Don't know if you remember me or not? Been to Bermuda 8 times, if you like to know anything more--just e-mail me. Ron
