At Robins nest you get exactly what it describes. It is peaceful and immaculate. The swimming pool is an extra benefit and the gardens are lovely. We had a wonderful time, if you want to be close to Hamilton at a reasonable price this is the place and just to top it off the beds are the most comfortable we have slept in away from home other than in a four star hotel!

Have stayed at Robin's Nest the past two years in early May, while sailing at Bermuda Invitational Race Week. It's a great spot come back and crash at after a day on the water or beach, quiet at night. We rent a scooter, so the fact that it's a bit of a walk to beach or Hamilton is not an issue, the rooms have been super clean and very roomy, waking up to a nice sunrise, overlooking the pool and Rene's nice gardens is very relaxing and a great way to start another day in paradise.

We have stayed at the Robin's Nest numerous times because our daughter lives close by. The Robinson family do a suberb job of maintaining their property. This is their home, too; they are always on site. If you are reasonably independent, are not troubled by a very short but steep walk from the bus stop and can enjoy living a bit off the beaten path, consider this property. Hamilton is 10 minutes by bus or 30minutes on foot to downtown. Grocery store is 20 min walk. Convenience store is 5 min. walk. Snorkling at Deep Bay can be wonderful and private (recently small tour boats have discovered this private cove-though since they drop anchor off shore, there is room for everyone); 10 min. walk. Beach and caves at Admiralty Park 15 min walk. The Robin's Nest pool is lovely, too. Renee Robinson is a lifelong gardener and the fruits and veggies she produces for her family are profuse and varied. Some plants on her property: bananas, avocados, figs, pawpaw, roses, flowering shrubs of all sorts, etc. Lovely! Though quiet in general, this is a neighborhood and there are day time activities and situations that may preclude sleeping in if your windows are open. There is a home being renovated next door and there is a dog a few homes over that usually barks for a few minutes infrequently during the day. With AC on you don't hear these things. We bring lots of food with us (refrigerator is small) and eat breakfast on out balcony :-). We've had family dinners at a table in the garden by the pool many times, too.

My husband & I stayed at Robins Nest for 6 nights from 23rd – 29th August 2010 and we absolutely loved it. The owner, Renee, had warned us in emails to ensure the taxi driver dropped us at the Mounts Hill entrance which has no stairs, he didn’t, nevertheless she was there to greet us and help with our luggages. When we got to our apartment, the air conditioning was already on and it was very clean and fresh with beautiful marble floors. Everything you need. There is also a good size pool, with loungers and inflatable’s for the kids. To its credit it is an excellently run family business and I would have no hesitation in recommending it. In the morning, Renees’ son drove us to Hamilton (city) which is literally 5 mins away, he showed us the local sights, suggested activities and where we could hire scooters. You really should try everything Bermuda has to offer. We jet skied, parasailed and swam with the fishes…it was the holiday of a lifetime. The beaches are clean and easy to navigate, you simply must visit Clearwater beach.
Eating out can be very expensive though for what it is and I suggest you take as much dry food as possible. The apartments have all the necessary kitchen utensils you’ll need. Bermuda is not the shopping mecca I thought, goods aren’t cheap despite the no tax claim but the people are approachable and friendly.
