We just returned from a weeklong stay in Bermuda at the Hamiltonian resort. We had a wonderful stay. The room was clean and spacious and the views were breathtaking. The staff was very accomadating and addressed all of our concerns very quickly. We would definately stay there again. We will post some photos of the resort soon. The bus (#4) does not run very frequently to the hotel so a scooter would be easier to get around. Taxi service is quick and a ride into Hamilton is around $10 including tip. There is a bus (#11) that runs more frequently from down the street if the back stairs are accessable.

We were guests of a relative who used her time share. Well...the place was terrible. The smell was awful. There were no drapes or blinds on the front room sliders. In a rattan chest were crumpled smelly sheets for the pullout couch...and an old pilly blanket (well used). You had to carry your own 5 gallon water jug down to your room yourself. However, when we went up to the office to get a jug...they didn't have any left. The large building (left of the pool)that you see in the promo picture is a derelict with broken windows just as one of the past reviewers stated. This was next to our rooms. We were warned to always keep the bar across the slider (derelict building?) It was not well lighted and we would not walk there alone.
I could go on and on but it's not worth it. Do not go.
We left.

We have stayed at the Hamiltonian twice. Aug 2002 and July 2003. Both times were wonderful. We stayed in the one bedroom condos at the bottom of the hill overlooking the water. The staff members were very nice.
The condo was beautiful with tiled floors throughout and very spacious.
It could easily accomodate two couples because it has two full bathrooms. There was a patio out back with a beautiful view of the water and setting sun.The complex was very quiet and we rarely saw anyone. We had the huge pool to ourselves on many days. We rented scooters for the week both times and zipped all over the island seeing every nook and cranny. I would not hesitate to recommend the condos at the bottom of the hill but obviously the hotel at the top has some serious issues based upon comments from other reviewers. The only complaint I have is that the frogs were very loud at night. Some people find that a charming part of Bermuda. Bring as much food as you can because everything in Bermuda costs a fortune!!!!!!!! There was a grocery store just down the hill where you can stock up for the week.
Four bags of groceries came to $150.

I am surprised the Bermuda government has not done something about this place. The paint is peeling, there was an abandoned building next door and the rugs looked like they had been through the Frat party wars. We left and went to another hotel. Not only was the hotel beat, the front desk staff was rude to boot. They argued with us about the cleanliness of the room. They said the room was clean but that the rugs were just stained. Stained was an understatement.
