Stretching atop Bermuda's loftiest hilltop and sloping to its own cliff-flanked beach, this leviathan pink eyesore is the island's most complete resort, attracting families, conventioneers, and honeymooners with equal aplomb. Though built in 1972, it is reminiscent of a more formal era, from the gleaming… more mahogany-and-marble-filled public spaces to the region's only five-diamond AAA restaurant, The Newport Room. Facilities include dive shop, golf course, tennis courts, the island’s largest spa and health club, complimentary kids club, and astounding pools (one indoor with multiple waterfalls and hot tubs, another with waterslides). Nearly all the 593 commodious, comfy units boast splendid views. Configuration and décor are nearly identical, save for the fantastic corner rooms, which boast dual exposures and extended balconies. We also prefer the Harbor Deluxe rooms – with their continual Impressionist wash of pastel houses, manicured lawns, and riotously colored fishing boats – to their pricier Ocean Deluxe counterparts.

I was a bit concerned because of the location - on the map it looks a long distance from Hamilton. We went during the off-season and
I just came back from 6 nights in the fairmont southampton. It is good with young kids, however the first night we had a mouse in the room, so the hotel staff was nice to "upgrade" us to ocean view on the 2nd floor. The rooms on this floor are much... more

My husband and I traveled with another couple to the Fairmont in late May. We had all been able to get a great rate (around $200) so I expected the worst. And to be honest, at least I have found, Bermudian hotels are usually not that great. We were... more
Beautiful hotel. For the most part, attentive, helpful and friendly staff. Arrived just after 1 pm on Good Friday...room not available. Front desk staff advised that check out wasn't until 3 pm (very usual and not true according to the hotel's... more
