Grape Bay Beach Hotel

It was a great, central location for exploring Bermuda. Also a quiet spot at the end of a residential street with great ocean views and a short walk to a secluded beach. The staff was helpful and friendly. The rooms were large, comfortable and clean. The only downside was that the pool was dirty. The property is a bit tired and could use some care, but overall very quiet and decent for a good price

Hotel was Ok.But I say,It too far from hotel to convenience store such is Seven/Eleven.And Bus stop. And Room Average Low.Same is major Motel style.

my friend and i stayed here for 100 a night which was the cheapest price on the island. if your on a budget and you can deal with a few annoyances, then this hotel is decent.

Walk to the bus stop a little to long. Excellent beaches around. Breakfast very limited.

On a very expensive island this hotel is a very cheap alternative. Just be prepared that this is what it is. It is not a new hotel. It is run down and many things need repaired or don't even work. I.E. there is no functioning ice machine. The office had a ice available from a bag but even that ran out for a day. The breakfast was limited and spare, and one morning not available "because of ants". There is no restaurant on site (Sappori has been long closed, even though it is still advertised on the hotel and Bermuda Tourism websites). The closest places to eat are 15 minute walk as well as a grocery store for supplies. The walk is hot, humid, and has a hill involved The pool was open, but not cleaned daily. Now the plusses. It was inexpensive, the staff was exceptionally friendly in spite of the lack of conveniences. The room was clean and good sized. The room had a refrigerator and microwave, which was great since there is no restaurant (go to the grocey store for supplies). The pool and hotel have a great view. You are alone in a quiet place overlooking the ocean. If you are low maintenance, like peace and quiet, budget minded, and don't mind a walk to get to a bus, store, or restaurant. This place can be a good base for exploring Bermuda.

This is a run down hotel, in a bad location. The restaurant is no longer open, so you must go elsewhere for food/drinks, other than the continental breakfast. During my stay, the ice machine and internet service were also out of service, as well as my room phone. In addition, the beach is more of a rock ledge, and was covered with huge rotting algae blooms that wash ashore. Other hotel beaches and some of the public ones keep this stuff cleared away for the most part, but Grape Bay beach gets zero maintenance. I read some other reviews of this hotel before booking my trip, and I can not believe anyone would say that this was a great beach. It's just plain bad. You are not going to want to spend much time at this hotel. The pool is the only decent thing it has to offer, and it is small, nothing special, but clean. You have to either catch the bus or rent a scooter to do anything fun. The bus stop is a short walk (maybe a quarter mile) down White Sands Road, which is a hill. Be ready to sweat on the way back up. There is also a grocery store and fast food place at the bottom of White Sands Road. This place is fine if all you are looking for is a place to sleep. If your expecting anything more however, look elsewhere.

Our room was clean, and the pool was nice. The walk to the beach was ok. The restaurant shown on the website is closed, and the only place to get a drink is from a soda machine! The daily continental breakfast was less than enjoyable-sometimes they ran out of coffee. The walk to the bus stop is long and hilly, and in the rain, very uncomfortable. They say that the staff will provide a lift, but noone there seemed to ever have a car! The staff was friendly and helpful otherwise, and the view from the main lobby is beautiful! The price for our stay there was reasonable, but the hotel offers very little in terms of "extras". You get what you pay for.

The Hotel Location has a superb view of the SouthEast from some of the Hotel Rooms w/Balconies (as we had) The pool area, and the Terrace located 1 1/2 stories above the pool The rooms were comfortable, quiet, Cable TV some had balconies which you were able to view the reefs and Ocean. The Top Negative thing was it Lack of a Restaurant, and a Bar. Taxi's were avail; a walk of about 1 Mile got you to the Bus route to anywhere on the island. The Hotel has some very shabby areas; such as the Closed Sapori Restaurant (now Closed) Plumbing is very old and out of date, but functioning If it wasn't for the lack of a Restaurant, I would probably go back again, for it location is suberb but only 9 persons were their in our stay in a Hotel that had at least the capacity of 50 - 60; parts of Hotel were closed for lack of upkeep & reconditioning.

The location of the hotel is very good. Located on top of a small hill, with a great view into the ocean from the pool and lobby. It has internet and a wireless router connected to it, but the range doesn't extend into the lower level rooms. The staff was very nice and gave helful hints on stuff to see, such as the Crystal Caves that must be seen. I definitely recommend a scooter, which proved to be more worthy than I had thought, we drove end to end on the island and the view was always great with that nice ocean breeze in the face. There is no restaurant and no bar, therefore it's not ideal for older people who can't walk a farther distance, since the hotel is located in a residential area and 15-20 min walk from the Paraquet restaurant which serves good food for a better price than other restaurants on the island, where food is pretty expensive on the island, like everything else. I really loved the location because of the view, clean pool, 1 minute walk from a clean, nice and isolated beach for a super relaxing time. 4 minutes away from the town or city of Hamilton, which is actually too small to be called a city. Hamilton has a few bars with dance floors that do the job if you're just interested in a little dance, such as Pickled Onion, Cafe Cairo and so on. Elbow beach hotel has a latin night on Fridays, which was pretty nice and we went to their pool after some dancing. Bermuda cost me a lot of money, but it was worth it all, I had such a great time that now I need another vacation just to forget about this vacation. Don't forget to rent a scooter if you want to eat or see the island. Also, I met this very cute girl who was staying at the hotel too and we drove all night on the scooter and explored a lot of the island together.

False advertising at its best! We went to Bermuda for a quick 4-day get-away, & from the description and photos online, Grape Bay Beach looked good! Although the staff was friendly, respectful and did all it could, it was a horrible experience. The outdoor pool and the restaurant were shut down, there was no bar, the shuttle that would bring you from the hotel to the main street, (about a 15 min. walk each way among small hills) was no longer operational and the hotel's "beach" is a rocky 30'x50' patch of other residents' backyards. The only thing we did at the hotel besides sleeping, was eat the continental breakfast. After that, there was nowhere to eat lunch, dinner, have a drink, no way to enjoy the beach/sand, so we had to migrate to another hotel. I guess I would be nitpicky if I mentioned that our room phone wasn't working when we arrived there, & four of our light bulbs in our room were out. Overall, if Bermuda paid me to stay at this hotel again, I would turn it down! It wasn't worth a dime...!
