Willowbank Resort BermudaCategory: $$ Location: Sandys
An essential part of the spiritual life at Willowbank is the 'Serendipity' time held daily Monday through Saturday. Throughout the year, guest speakers, known as the Pastor in Residence, lead a time of devotion and Bible study. Serendipity is optional to all guests, and is held for one half hour following breakfast.
Willowbank Resort Bermuda
Spread across six acres of historic grounds, Willowbank has two private beaches, outdoor pool (heated in winter) and 2 plexi-pave tennis courts. There are 65 rooms in the property. While all rooms have contemporary furnishing, the management has purposely not provided TV or phones to enable a serene and free ambience. Room #44 is particularly excellent with its great views.
With ringing of the historic ship’s bell, an elegant dinner prepared by the chefs are served in the Loaves and Fishes dining room every evening.
There is also a daily full breakfast buffet. Typical breakfast menu includes hot cereals, fresh fruit salad, yoghurt, muffins or Danish pastries, bacon, ham, sausages, hash browns, French toast, waffles and pancakes. As part of the British heritage, traditional afternoon tea is served with sandwiches, cakes and excellent English tea brewed fresh every day.
Dinner at Willowbank resort is served nightly in one sitting.
Willowbank has received the Bermuda Government's Tourism Longtail Merit Award in July 2001 and Environmental Health Standards Award in July 2000.

If you are like one of us who stayed at Willowbank, you would probably not be able to forget Herbie Night - the Breakfast Chef. He worked here for over 40 years, and captured the hearts of many guests who visited Willowbank including children. On July 21, 2010, Herbie passed away. Here is a tribute: Herbie the Chef

UPDATES September 2011: After 51 years of operation in the island, Willowbank is sadly closing down effective November end, 2011. This will result in 46 staff losing their jobs. In recent times I had been hearing that the service quality in the hotel had gone down substantially, the upkeep of the hotel was below standard, rooms were not maintained properly with some tourists complaining that their rooms were dirty, and the tea room was hardly open. It was probably a sign that some measures were to be taken shortly.
