The advantage of a Bermuda all inclusive resort or hotel deal is that you know how much exactly to spend during your vacation in Bermuda, as virtually all essential costs are covered by the package during your stay in the island. There is usually a minimum number of night stay required for all inclusive vacation packages in Bermuda.
But a disadvantage of such Bermuda all inclusive resort package is, you will lose the flexibility of dining around the island, as all your meals would have been already paid for in the package.
Although the hotel would generally give choices within its own restaurants, you will probably miss out on some of the top restaurants in Bermuda unless you are ready to spend extra. Check with the hotel if they offer dining exchange programs so that you have a chance to try out some dinging options elsewhere.
Unfortunately, when it comes to Bermuda, the choice for all inclusive resorts are limited. Earlier there has been an attempt by the Club Med Group to run a Club Med Hotel, an all-inclusive resort in St. George, close to St. Catherine fort and overlooking the beach. But it didn't run well and in three years time, the hotel had to close down.
The Harmony Club, a resort for adults located in Paget Parish also offered all inclusive packages. However in 2005, they converted to regular rates. And from 2008 it ceased to offer commercial accommodation to visitors. The establishment has been taken over by Bermuda Government to accommodate government officials and overseas police hires.
So, what are the present options for all inclusive hotels and resorts in Bermuda?
1. Grotto Bay Resort: Located in Hamilton Parish, this resort offers regular all inclusive packages in Bermuda.
