I went to Bermuda ( Elbow Beach Resort) January,3rd to 7th, 2012.
The resort is perfect, the staff was perfect,the food was perfect. It was my first time in Bermuda and we went there for only 4 days because I was to busy for more. I knew the temperature was supposed to be a little cold ....and it was. We had what we where looking for...."rest"...But if you want to go to Bermuda in winter for sandy beach, water sport, activities etc etc ....not a place to go.
Bermuda is a kind of "close city" where nothing happen. It's calm, clean and little boring. If you want to shop it is not The Place. But I repeat my self , the resort was perfect.

We have celebrated the past eight New Years at Elbow. We stayed in the hotel building until it was closed then stayed at the Beachfront Lanais. Our experiences were always exactly what we were expecting. We are beach people and the ocean is rejuvenating after a hectic holiday season. The spa is “beautiful, immaculate, and professional.” The location is perfect; approximately half way between St. David’s and Dockyard and a brief walk to the beach. We enjoy dining at surrounding fine restaurants such as Waterlot, the Point, etc. as well as Lido. The concierge has always been exceptional. During the transition from hotel centered facilities (Seahorse, Veranda, etc.) to beach centered (Lido, Mickey’s, etc.) facilities, the service staff did decline but, happy to say, the quality has improved. As with most of Bermuda, Elbow is expensive but is a good value. (Last summer, we paid about $ 80.00 less per night at a Jersey Shore hotel that was terrible.) Elbow is a touch of “old” Bermuda in the “new” Bermuda world.

I went on a short trip to Bermuda to get away. I stayed at Elbow Beach. The service was terrific. The room was SPLENDID!!! I would definitely return. The beach is gorgeous. The property is beautiful. Tennis, bars, restaurants and salsa lessons are available. Great service too. I have not one complaint.

My wife and I spent 4 nights between Christmas and New Year's at Elbow Beach. The room was excellent and spacious. Although the outside of the buildings look dated, the rooms that we stayed in was recently revnovated and new. The hotel has a main building and then a series of buldings that have maybe 10 rooms or so. We had a Deluxe Ocean view room and our patio had a nice partial ocean view. Pay attention to what type of view and what building they are placing you in. Some of the buildings had trees and gardens in front of them and must of had a totally different feel to the resort. The staff was curtious and helpful. A little disappointing that there is no in room entertainment (ie, on Demand movies, pay per view, etc). We had to have them bring up a DVD player and then go to the lobby to choose DVDs. We did this because it was raining. After all it is Bermuda and you shouldn't be spending time watching movies! The hotel has a great location, only a 5 minute scooter ride to Jobson's cove/Horseshoe Bay and about 7 minutes to Hamilton. There is onsite scooter rental. Taxi's to the airport cost about $30. The food at the hotel restaurants is pricey, but so is all of the food in Bermuda. The beach is excellent and private. Internet is available in the lobby for free. You have to pay for in room WiFI. I am never a big fan of paying $14 a day for Internet, especially when the connectivity is bad and it's slow.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. It was our second time in Bermuda and to me, the hotels play a small part in why we come to Bermuda. We want to be out exploring Bermuda and usually don't spend too much time at the hotel.
