Quick answer
- Bermuda all inclusive resorts come down to one: Grotto Bay Beach Resort & Spa, where the all-inclusive supplement costs $139 per adult and $85 per child (4–17) per day, with a three-night minimum, rising to $155 and $95 for reservations from March 19, 2027.
- Grotto Bay's plan covers the breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner at two restaurants, unlimited drinks at two bars and a rooftop lounge, non-motorized water sports, afternoon tea and food-and-drink gratuities. Guests on the plan also report bus and ferry passes.
- Pompano Beach Club sells a breakfast-and-dinner meal plan; the Hamilton Princess feeds kids under five free; Rosewood, AZURA and Coco Reef are pay-as-you-go.
- Bermuda is about 1,000 miles north of the Caribbean: average highs are about 69°F from January to March and 85–86°F in July and August, so book May to October for beach weather.
- You need a passport and the free Bermuda Arrival Card. Flights take about 90 minutes from New York, and visitors cannot rent conventional cars.
- Fairmont Southampton, the island's biggest resort, was still listed as under renovation with a 2026 reopening when we checked in October 2026.
Our verdict
Our verdict: Grotto Bay if you want all-inclusive, Pompano if you want value, Rosewood if money is no object
If 'all-inclusive' is a must, the decision is made for you: Grotto Bay Beach Resort & Spa is the only Bermuda resort we found with a real plan that includes drinks. At $278 a day for two on top of the room, it is not cheap, but in Bermuda, where restaurant meals are expensive, it can save money for anyone who eats and drinks on site. It also has a cave spa, calm water and a five-minute ride from the airport. Its rooms are dated, and reviewers say so.
If you would rather eat around the island, Pompano Beach Club is the best value, with a well-reviewed breakfast-and-dinner plan, an ocean-view setting next to Port Royal golf course and an 8.9 of 10 Priceline score. Families who want polish should look at the Hamilton Princess, where kids under five eat free and a private beach club is part of the stay. For luxury, Rosewood Bermuda is the pick. These recommendations are based on official plan terms, 2025–2026 guest reviews and prices we saw in October 2026.

Bermuda all-inclusive resorts: how many are there?
One, realistically. Bermuda's tourism board, Go To Bermuda, calls Grotto Bay Beach Resort & Spa 'the primary all-inclusive family resort in Bermuda', and in October 2026 we found no other hotel selling a plan that bundles meals and drinks.
That is because Bermuda works differently from Jamaica or Punta Cana. It is a small, expensive, British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic, its hotels are mostly boutique properties and grand old resorts, and its visitors tend to eat around the island. What you can book instead:
- A true all-inclusive add-on: Grotto Bay ($139 per adult per day).
- Breakfast-and-dinner plans: Pompano Beach Club's half-board plan, which reviewers call good value.
- Family dining perks: the Hamilton Princess feeds kids under five free and includes its beach club in the stay.
- Resort credits and room-only rates: Coco Reef gives $65 a day in resort credit for direct bookings; Rosewood, AZURA, The Reefs and Cambridge Beaches are pay-as-you-go.
If you want a choice of all-inclusives with the same short flight, the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos are closer to what you have in mind.

1Best overall (the only true all-inclusive)
Grotto Bay Beach Resort & Spa
Bailey's Bay, Hamilton Parish
$654–$824 per night for two · Room rates of $376–$546 per night on Priceline (Oct–Nov 2026 dates, checked Oct 2026) plus the $278 daily all-inclusive supplement for two adults
Guest ratings
Trip.com9.0/10 · 104Expedia9.0/10Priceline8.2/10 · 157Checked Oct 2026; review counts in grey.
Our take
Grotto Bay is the answer to almost every 'Bermuda all inclusive resort' search, and it earns the spot. Its all-inclusive supplement ($139 per adult and $85 per child aged 4–17, per day, three-night minimum) covers the breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner at two restaurants, theme-night buffets, unlimited drinks at two bars and a rooftop lounge, non-motorized water sports and food-and-drink gratuities. The setting is the other draw: 21 acres on Bailey's Bay with 201 rooms in 11 cottages, a private beach with shallow water, a swimming cave and the Natura Cave Spa, plus a five-minute ride from the airport. Guest scores are strong where it matters, at 9.0 of 10 on Trip.com and on Expedia, and 2026 reviewers praise the staff, the breakfast and the Cathedral Cave swim. The rooms are the weak point: Trip.com and Priceline reviewers in 2025 and 2026 describe dated rooms, uncomfortable beds, mold in a bathroom and road or airport noise, and one guest reported rodents on the grounds. Book Grotto Bay if you want a one-price Bermuda week with kids or a drinks-included couples' trip; skip it if room quality matters more than convenience.
Skip it if You care most about modern rooms or want to stay on the South Shore beaches.
Our category scores
Pros
- The only true all-inclusive plan in Bermuda, with drinks
- Swimming cave, cave spa and calm, shallow water
- Five minutes from the airport
- Kids' program and summer floating fun zone
Cons
- Dated rooms and beds in 2025–2026 reviews
- Some rooms hear airport and road traffic
- Far from the South Shore pink-sand beaches
- Plan prices rise in March 2027
- All-inclusive supplement
- $139 per adult, $85 per child (4–17), per day
- Minimum stay on plan
- 3 nights
- Rooms
- 201 units in 11 cottages on 21 acres
- Airport transfer
- About 5 minutes
- AAA rating
- Three Diamond
What guests say
Guests on the all-inclusive package in June and July 2026 say it came with unlimited bus and ferry passes that made touring easy, and praise friendly staff, the breakfast, clear water and the Cathedral Cave swim.
A June 2026 reviewer found the beds uncomfortable and the rooms dated, reported broken gym equipment and worn loungers, and saw rats and mice on the grounds.
A January 2026 guest called the all-inclusive package good value with water sports included but found mold in the bathroom and could hear the airport and main road; others in late 2025 felt prices were high for the upkeep.
2Best value meal plan (breakfast and dinner)
Pompano Beach Club
Southampton, South Shore
$517–$700 per night for two · Room rate of $517 per night including fees for 2 adults on Priceline (Oct 27–Nov 3, 2026 dates, checked Oct 2026); high end is our estimate for summer; meal plan extra
Our take
Pompano is not all-inclusive, but it is the closest thing to it for travelers who mostly want their meals sorted. The Lamb family has owned and run it since 1956, and its own site promotes 'Pompano's popular breakfast and dinner meal plan', which 2025 Priceline reviewers called good value. Go To Bermuda notes free continental breakfast, a kiddie pool, babysitting and three eateries, including a casual snack bar, and the resort sits on a hillside above its own beach next to Port Royal, which the resort calls the island's best public golf course. Staff are the standout: Priceline guests rate them 9.4 of 10, and its overall 8.9 from 161 reviews is the highest Priceline score on this page. The complaints are mostly about age, with some decor described as tired, plus a weak TV and in-room Wi-Fi, and a quiet scene at night. The hillside layout also means steps to the beach and pools. Book Pompano for a relaxed South Shore week with dinners handled, and use its fall 'every fifth night free' offer if your dates fit; skip it if you want nightlife or unlimited drinks.
Skip it if You want an all-inclusive with drinks, or you have trouble with steps and slopes.
Our category scores
Pros
- Breakfast-and-dinner plan that guests call good value
- Outstanding staff scores (9.4 of 10 on Priceline)
- Ocean-view rooms above a private beach
- Next to Port Royal golf course
Cons
- No drinks or lunch on the meal plan
- Some dated decor and weak in-room tech
- Hillside site with steps
- Quiet at night
- Plan type
- Breakfast-and-dinner meal plan; continental breakfast included
- Owned since
- 1956 (Lamb family)
- Golf

- Fall 2026 offer
- Every fifth night free (minimum five nights)
What guests say
Reviewers through 2025 praise very attentive staff, good to excellent food, the views and beach, free shuttles to town and the ferry, and say the half-board meal plan is good value.
Criticism is mild but consistent: some decor feels tired, one guest had a non-working TV and weak in-room internet, another struggled to get lactose-free options, and it is very quiet at night.

3Best for families (not all-inclusive)
The Hamilton Princess & Beach Club
Pembroke, next to the City of Hamilton
$406–$1,243 per night for two · Room-only rates including fees on Kayak for Oct 26–27, 2026 (2 guests), checked Oct 2026; meals extra
Our take
The 'Pink Palace' is not all-inclusive, but for families it removes many of the costs that make Bermuda painful. Go To Bermuda highlights free meals for kids under five, a supervised Prince and Princess Kids' Club for ages 5 to 12, Saturday children's tea, babysitting and a private beach club where toys and towels are included in your stay. The hotel has 380 rooms and suites on Hamilton Harbour, a harbor-side infinity pool, restaurants including Intrepid and 1609, and a serious art collection, and Hamilton's restaurants and ferry terminal are a short walk away. Kayak reviewers score it 8.7 of 10 from 416 reviews, with location and staff the highlights. The trade-offs are real: the beach club is a 15–20 minute bus ride away, some rooms are dated, a 17% gratuity is added to food bills, and rooms ran from $406 to $1,243 a night for late October 2026. We rate it highly for families who want a full-service base and plan to eat around town; couples looking for a quiet beachfront escape will do better on the South Shore. Book it for a city-and-beach family trip; skip it if you want to walk straight from your room onto pink sand.
Skip it if You want a beachfront room or one price that covers meals and drinks.
Our category scores
Pros
- Kids under five eat free; kids' club for ages 5–12
- Private beach club included in the stay
- Walk to Hamilton's restaurants and ferries
- Harbor-side infinity pool
Cons
- Not all-inclusive; dining is expensive and a 17% gratuity is added
- Beach club is a 15–20 minute bus ride away
- Some dated rooms in recent reviews
- Premium room rates
- Rooms
- 380 rooms and suites
- Plan type
- Room only; kids under 5 eat free
- Kids' club
- Prince and Princess Kids' Club, ages 5–12
- Beach
- Private beach club, reached by shuttle
What guests say
Kayak reviewers rate the location 10 of 10 and service 9.5, and praise friendly staff, the pools, the beach club and the hotel's art collection.
Complaints focus on dated rooms with musty smells or stained carpets, a slow breakfast (its lowest score at 7 of 10), a 17% gratuity added to food bills, high prices and a 15–20 minute bus ride to the private beach.

4Best luxury (not all-inclusive)
Rosewood Bermuda
Tucker's Town, Castle Harbour
Our take
Rosewood Bermuda is the island's luxury pick, set above the turquoise shallows of Castle Harbour in Tucker's Town, close to the airport. It does not sell an all-inclusive plan, and you will pay top prices for every meal and drink, so we include it for travelers who want the best rooms and service in Bermuda rather than a bundled price. Guest scores back that up: 9.4 of 10 on both Trip.com and Expedia. The 84 rooms are large, many with ocean views; the private pink-sand beach club, about 10 minutes away by shuttle, has a quiet adult pool and a family pool; and Sul Verde and the spa draw praise. Go To Bermuda highlights the Rosewood Explorers Club for kids, run by certified teaching professionals, plus babysitting. The weak spots in 2026 reviews are worn pool furniture, slow pool and bar service, long shuttle waits and pricey food. A week here for two can cost several times a Grotto Bay all-inclusive week once you add dining. Book Rosewood for a honeymoon or a family trip where polish matters more than price; skip it if you are trying to control food costs.
Skip it if You want an all-inclusive price or a budget-friendly week.
Our category scores
Pros
- Bermuda's most polished resort experience
- Kids' club run by teaching professionals, plus babysitting
- Golf, tennis, spa and beach club
- About 15 minutes from the airport
Cons
- No meal plan; dining is very expensive
- Beach club is a shuttle ride from the main building
- Slow pool and bar service and worn furniture in some 2026 reviews
- Top-tier room rates
- Plan type
- Room only
- Rooms
- 84 (opened 2009, renovated 2018)
- Beach club

What guests say
Summer 2026 guests praise ocean views, large rooms and comfortable beds, the private pink-sand beach with a quiet adult pool and a family pool, Sul Verde's food and the spa.
Critical 2026 reviews mention mildew-stained pool chairs and missing tiles, slow pool and bar service, curt front-desk staff, a shuttle wait of over 45 minutes and food they felt was overpriced.

5Best pink-sand beach on a budget (not all-inclusive)
Coco Reef Bermuda
Paget, Elbow Beach
$342–$493 per night for two · Direct 'Winter Escape' rate of $342 per room per night for two including taxes and fees, and $493 per night on Priceline for Oct 27–Nov 3, 2026, checked Oct 2026; room only
Guest ratings
Priceline7.8/10 · 125Kayak7.9/10 · 139Hotels.com8.4/10 · 1,003Checked Oct 2026; review counts in grey.
Our take
Coco Reef is the cheapest way we found to wake up on one of Bermuda's best pink-sand beaches. It is a relaxed boutique hotel on Elbow Beach in Paget, about 10 minutes from Hamilton, with oceanfront and beachfront rooms, a pool and a kids' pool, and three places to eat. It is not all-inclusive; booking direct gets a $65 daily resort credit, and the 'Winter Escape' rate was $342 a night for two including taxes and fees when we checked. Go To Bermuda recommends it for families with teens because rooms can interconnect and there is a grocery store within walking distance, which helps keep food costs down. Guest scores are middling, at 7.8 of 10 on Priceline and 8.4 on Hotels.com. Reviewers love the location, the beach and the staff, but complain about water pressure, mold in showers, dated or unfinished rooms and slow, pricey restaurant service. Book it for a beach-first, budget-conscious stay where you will eat out; skip it if you want resort amenities or rooms that feel new.
Skip it if You want modern rooms or a full-service resort.
Our category scores
Pros
- Directly on Elbow Beach's pink sand
- Lowest rates on this page, with a $65 daily credit for direct bookings
- Connecting rooms and a nearby grocery store
- Ten minutes from Hamilton
Cons
- Not all-inclusive
- Dated rooms, water pressure and shower mold complaints
- Restaurant service and prices criticized
- Few resort amenities
- Plan type
- Room only; $65 daily resort credit when booked direct
- Beach
- Elbow Beach, pink sand
- Pools
- Outdoor pool and kids' pool
- Distance to Hamilton
- About 10 minutes
What guests say
Reviewers from 2024 and 2025 praise the beachfront location next to Elbow Beach, friendly and helpful staff, ocean and balcony views, renovated rooms and a good breakfast.
Recurring complaints, including in 2026, cover weak water pressure and mold in showers, rooms that felt dated or unfinished, slow and pricey restaurant service and broken beach chairs.

6Best boutique for couples (not all-inclusive)
AZURA Bermuda
South Shore, Paget/Warwick
$638–$1,036 per night for two · Room-only deals including fees on Kayak for late-October 2026 dates, checked Oct 2026
Our take
AZURA is a small, newer-style boutique resort on the cliffs of Bermuda's South Shore, with 55 rooms and suites above its own private beach. It is not all-inclusive; offers in fall 2026 included a free third night on stays of three or more, early-booking discounts of up to 30% and a golf package with daily breakfast, so read the inclusions on each rate. We include it as the couples' alternative to Pompano: modern rooms, ocean views from a bluff, and a short taxi ride to Elbow Beach, Hamilton and the South Shore restaurants. Kayak guests rate it 8.7 of 10 from 121 reviews, with location scoring 9.5 and staff praised as friendly and helpful. The consistent complaint is value, since rooms ran $638 to $1,036 a night with fees for late-October dates, and some guests mention service lapses, small rooms and accessibility issues on the cliffside site. Book AZURA for a quiet, beach-focused couples' trip where you will eat out; skip it if you want a meal plan, kids' facilities or a lower nightly rate.
Skip it if You want a meal plan, kids' programs or a budget rate.
Our category scores
Pros
- Private beach below the cliffs
- Modern boutique feel with ocean views
- Short drive to Hamilton and Elbow Beach
- Location rated 9.5 of 10 by Kayak guests
Cons
- Not all-inclusive
- Expensive for the size of rooms
- Cliffside site can be hard for limited mobility
- Few activities on site
- Rooms
- 55 rooms and suites
- Plan type
- Room only; some offers include breakfast
- Beach
- Private South Shore beach
- Fall 2026 offers
- Third night free; book early and save up to 30%
What guests say
Kayak reviewers single out the oceanfront location, views, private beach access, friendly and helpful staff and well-kept rooms.
The main complaint is value: some guests felt it was overpriced, and others mention occasional service lapses, room size, accessibility and some amenities.

Pros & cons
Bermuda for an all-inclusive trip: why go, why not
Reasons to go
- Short flights from the East Coast (about 90 minutes from New York)
- Famous pink-sand beaches and very clear water
- Level 1 U.S. travel advisory and an easy, English-speaking island
- U.S. dollars accepted everywhere
- Grotto Bay's plan includes drinks, water sports and (per guests) transit passes
Reasons to think twice
- Only one true all-inclusive resort
- Expensive meals and hotels
- Cool winters: highs around 69°F from January to March
- No rental cars for visitors
- Passport required
Grotto Bay Beach Resort & Spa all-inclusive: what's included and what it costs
Grotto Bay sells its plans as daily supplements on top of the room rate, per the resort's meal-plan page in October 2026.
| Plan | Adult per day | Child 4–17 per day | Minimum | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All-Inclusive | $139 ($155 from Mar 19, 2027) | $85 ($95) | 3 nights | Breakfast buffet; lunch and dinner at two restaurants; theme-night buffets; unlimited drinks at two bars and the rooftop lounge; non-motorized water sports; afternoon tea; food and drink gratuity |
| Dinner and Breakfast | $92 ($99) | $47 ($55) | 2 nights | Breakfast buffet, dinner at two restaurants, theme nights, afternoon tea, gratuity; no lunch or drinks |
| Breakfast | $31 ($33) | $18 ($20) | None | Breakfast buffet and afternoon tea |
For two adults, the all-inclusive plan adds $278 a day, or $1,946 a week, to the room. Add it before arrival or at check-in. The page does not mention taxes beyond the food-and-drink gratuity, so ask what is charged on top. Guests on the plan in June and July 2026 told Trip.com it came with unlimited bus and ferry passes, which makes island touring easy; the resort's own page does not list them, so confirm when booking.
Is it worth it? If you will have two drinks a day and eat lunch and dinner at the resort, almost certainly, because sit-down meals in Bermuda are pricey. If you plan to eat in Hamilton and St. George's every night, the dinner-and-breakfast plan or no plan makes more sense.

Typical 7-night Bermuda trip for two (USD)
Bermuda is not the Caribbean: weather and the best time to go
This is the mistake we see most often. Bermuda sits in the North Atlantic, about 1,000 miles north of the Caribbean, and Go To Bermuda describes temperatures from the mid-60s in winter to the mid-80s in summer. Bermuda Weather Service normals for L.F. Wade airport show average highs of about 69°F from January through March, 76°F in May, and 85–86°F in July and August.
- May to October: beach season. Water and air are warm, Grotto Bay runs its floating fun zone from May to September, and Pompano rents paddleboards and kayaks from May to October. This is also when prices peak.
- November to March: shoulder and low season. Lower rates and quiet golf courses, but beach days are hit and miss and many travelers find the sea too cold to swim.
- April: a good compromise, with highs around 72°F and the year's lowest rainfall.
Bermuda has no true rainy season; rain falls in short bursts all year. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, but Go To Bermuda says big hits average just over one per decade and most hotels offer hurricane guarantees. Read the terms before you book August to October.

Where to stay in Bermuda: South Shore, Hamilton, the East End or the West End
Bermuda is only 21 square miles, so nowhere is far, but the four areas feel different.
| Area | Resorts | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Shore (Southampton, Warwick, Paget) | Pompano, The Reefs, Coco Reef, Fairmont Southampton (closed for renovation) | Pink-sand beaches such as Horseshoe Bay and Elbow Beach | Taxis to Hamilton for dinner |
| Hamilton and Pembroke | Hamilton Princess | Restaurants, shopping, ferry hub | Beach is a shuttle ride away |
| East End (Hamilton Parish, St. George's, Tucker's Town) | Grotto Bay, Rosewood, The Loren, St. Regis | Short airport transfers, caves, St. George's UNESCO town | Fewer big beaches near Grotto Bay |
| West End (Sandys) | Cambridge Beaches | Royal Naval Dockyard, quiet coves | Farthest from the airport |
If you are booking Grotto Bay for the all-inclusive plan, use the included bus and ferry passes (if your package has them) to reach the South Shore beaches on your own.
Pink-sand beaches and what to do beyond the resort
Bermuda's beaches are why most people come. Horseshoe Bay, Warwick Long Bay and Elbow Beach on the South Shore have the famous pink-tinged sand, colored by fragments of red foraminifera shells. Elbow Beach sits next to Coco Reef, and Horseshoe Bay is a short taxi ride from Pompano and The Reefs.
Off the beach, the best half-days are the Crystal and Fantasy Caves near Grotto Bay, the Town of St. George's (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Royal Naval Dockyard and its National Museum of Bermuda, and the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo. Go To Bermuda's family guide recommends all of these for kids.
None of this needs a car. Buses run 11 routes and four ferry routes leave from Hamilton, according to Go To Bermuda's transport page. That matters, because visitors cannot rent conventional cars.

Getting there and getting around: passports, flights and no rental cars
- Entry: U.S. visitors need a valid passport and the free Bermuda Arrival Card, completed online before landing. Go To Bermuda warns that some third-party sites charge for the card; use only the official government form.
- Flights: Go To Bermuda says the island is about 90 minutes from New York and two to three hours from Atlanta, Boston, Miami and Philadelphia, with over 20 direct routes from the U.S., Canada and the UK. JetBlue, Delta and BermudAir all fly in. Everyone lands at L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA) in St. George's Parish.
- Transfers: Grotto Bay is about five minutes from the airport; Hamilton is roughly 25–30 minutes and the South Shore and West End resorts take longer.
- Getting around: there are no conventional rental cars. Your options are electric microcars, scooters (visitors 18 and older; the speed limit is 20 mph), taxis, rideshare apps, buses and ferries.
- Money: the Bermuda dollar trades one-to-one with the U.S. dollar, and both are accepted everywhere. Go To Bermuda notes that the U.S. State Department consistently rates Bermuda Level 1, its lowest advisory level.
Bermuda resorts for families and couples (and why there is no adults-only all-inclusive)
Families: Grotto Bay is the easy choice for budgeting, with an all-inclusive plan, calm water, a summer kids' program and a floating fun zone from May to September. The Hamilton Princess has the Prince and Princess Kids' Club for ages 5 to 12, a beach club and free meals for kids under five, and Rosewood runs a kids' club with babysitting. Coco Reef's connecting rooms work well for families with teens.
Couples: there are no adults-only all-inclusive resorts in Bermuda. Couples who want a romantic stay usually pick Rosewood for luxury, Cambridge Beaches for its cottage-style rooms on a private peninsula, or Pompano for value and sunsets. If an adults-only all-inclusive is the goal, look at St. Lucia or our couples and honeymoon guide.
What a Bermuda resort week costs, and mistakes to avoid
Bermuda is one of the most expensive places in this guide. A week for two at Grotto Bay on the all-inclusive plan runs to roughly $4,500–$6,000 before flights, using the room rates we saw on Priceline ($376–$546 a night) plus the $278 daily plan for two. A room-only week at Pompano or Coco Reef with meals out can cost about the same.
Mistakes to avoid:
- Booking a winter beach holiday. Bermuda's January highs average about 69°F. Go in winter for golf and sightseeing, not for swimming.
- Assuming every 'all-inclusive' listing is real. Booking sites tag several Bermuda hotels as all-inclusive. Only Grotto Bay sold a full plan when we checked.
- Planning to rent a car. You cannot. Budget for taxis or use buses, ferries and microcars.
- Expecting Fairmont Southampton. Its official page still read 'under renovation, reopening 2026' in October 2026. Check before you plan around it.
- Forgetting the Arrival Card. Fill it in online before your flight, for free.
Community
What travel-forum regulars say
Travel-forum consensus
On Tripadvisor's Bermuda forum, the regulars give the same answer they have given for years: Grotto Bay is the only Bermuda hotel with an all-inclusive rate, and even that is a supplement added to a normal room rate rather than a Caribbean-style resort built around unlimited food. Posters point out that food is served at set mealtimes rather than around the clock, that the plan makes most sense if you will spend most of your time on the property, and that there are very few restaurants near Grotto Bay that do not need a bus or taxi into Hamilton or St. George's. Opinions on the beach split along the same lines as guest reviews: it is calm, shallow and good for young children and nervous swimmers, but the best pink-sand beaches are on the South Shore. Older posts quote much lower plan prices than today's $139, so treat forum numbers as history. The consistent advice for anyone wanting an adults-only all-inclusive is to look at another island. This summary draws on the three Tripadvisor Bermuda forum threads linked below, some of them years old, rather than on Reddit.
A Bermuda forum thread asking whether Grotto Bay's all-inclusive is worth it draws the usual verdict: it covers meals, drinks and some activities, but it is a supplement on a room rate and works best for guests who will stay put on the property.
Threads asking for an adults-only all-inclusive in Bermuda are answered bluntly by regulars: there is not one, and Grotto Bay, which welcomes families, is the only hotel with an all-inclusive rate.
In a thread asking whether Grotto Bay has a good beach, posters describe calm, very shallow water that suits small children and unconfident swimmers, while noting that Bermuda's nicest beaches are on the South Shore.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are there all-inclusive resorts in Bermuda?
Yes, but only one with a full plan: Grotto Bay Beach Resort & Spa in Hamilton Parish. Its all-inclusive supplement costs $139 per adult and $85 per child (4–17) per day in 2026, with a three-night minimum, and covers meals at two restaurants, unlimited drinks at two bars and a rooftop lounge, and non-motorized water sports. Other resorts sell breakfast-and-dinner plans or room-only rates.
What does the Grotto Bay all-inclusive include?
The American breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner at two restaurants of your choice, seasonal theme-night buffets, unlimited beverages at two bars and the rooftop lounge, non-motorized water sports such as kayaks, paddleboards and snorkel gear, afternoon tea, and food-and-drink gratuities. Guests on the plan in 2026 reported bus and ferry passes, but the resort's page does not list them, so confirm when you book.
How much does an all-inclusive trip to Bermuda cost?
At Grotto Bay, expect the room (about $376–$546 a night on Priceline for late-2026 dates) plus $278 a day for two adults on the all-inclusive plan. That puts a week at roughly $4,500–$6,000 before flights. Prices for the plan rise to $155 per adult per day for reservations from March 19, 2027.
When is the best time to go to Bermuda for the beach?
May through October. Average highs reach about 76°F in May and 85–86°F in July and August, and the sea is warm enough for most swimmers. From January to March, highs average about 69°F, which is pleasant for golf and sightseeing but cool for the beach. April is a good-value compromise with the lowest rainfall.
Do I need a passport to go to Bermuda?
Yes. U.S. citizens need a valid passport and must complete the free Bermuda Arrival Card online before arriving. Use only the official Government of Bermuda form; Go To Bermuda warns that some third-party websites charge for it. Visas and visa waivers are not required for tourists.
Are there adults-only all-inclusive resorts in Bermuda?
No. Bermuda has no adults-only all-inclusive resorts. Couples usually choose Rosewood Bermuda for luxury, Cambridge Beaches for its cottage rooms on a private peninsula, or Pompano Beach Club for value and its breakfast-and-dinner plan. For an adults-only all-inclusive, look at St. Lucia, Jamaica or Mexico instead.
Can you rent a car in Bermuda?
No. Visitors cannot rent conventional cars. You can rent small electric microcars or scooters (riders must be 18 or older, and the island speed limit is 20 mph), take taxis or rideshare apps, or use the bus and ferry network. Some Grotto Bay all-inclusive guests say transit passes came with their package.
Is Fairmont Southampton open?
When we checked in October 2026, Fairmont's official page still described the resort as under renovation with a 2026 reopening. Check its site for a confirmed date before you plan around it. The Hamilton Princess, also Fairmont-managed, is open and has a private beach club.
