It's all about location at Willowbank. The property is positioned between two nice beaches. One is facing Ely's Harbor and the other is ocean-facing. Both are beautiful and generally quiet and calm. There is also a pier around which to snorkel (it is teeming with aquatic life). There is a good restaurant on the property and the staff are friendly. It is not a luxury resort, so if you need to be pampered and waited on, this is probably not going to be a good option for you. If you prefer calm, quiet and laid-back vibes with incredible views, this might be your best bet. Others notable property amenities include a gym, tennis and pickleball courts, a pool, and a basketball goal.

Willowbank Resort was a perfect fit for us. We loved the quiet atmosphere. We snorkeled daily, ( bring your own equipment) enjoying the two beaches and boardwalk point. The staff was gracious and helpful. Beautiful view of sunset and stars. We enjoyed using the nearby bus system to engage in night life and events elsewhere, but happy to come back to this secluded haven

disappointi stay at willowbank resort

Willow banks resort did not live up to its presentation on hotels.com When I booked with Hotel.com the listing showed that breakfast was included in the price. the resort said stated breakfast was not included and would be $60 a day. I called Hotels.com and spook to a person about the issue and they said they would contact the resort and get this resolved and call me back. the person never called the resort and never called me back. the first hotel room we were taken to was not what we had booked and was unacceptable old dirty beat-up furniture rusty refrigerator and full of ants. Phone did not work in the room could not call the front desk. no one at the front desk after 6pm. local people coming into the resort and walking around No the deadbolt on the door did not work there was no way to secure the door from the inside of the room my wife felt very unsafe at night, so I had to slide a large chair in front of the door. I would expect to be refunded the it cost me to have breakfast every day I would not recommend this resort to anyone the resort is very misrepresented on Hotels.com

Our first time in Bermuda - didn’t know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised by our choice of accommodation. It couldn’t be any more perfect. Just what we needed. The location of our cottage was perfect - walking down to the beaches first thing in the morning was an absolute joy. Only negative that the restaurant was not fully open so lunch and dinner needed some planning. Tennis and pickle ball courts are available- we had some fun family tennis time while staying here. Chef Nick and our Concierge Daivan were outstanding - making sure we were well taken care of. We’ll be back to your beautiful retreat for sure!

This was a wonderful resort - out of the way - but beautiful and reasonably priced for Bermuda standards. They are doing a rehabilitation of the facility- hopefully that includes the showers / this was really the only thing that I did not like (it was hard to wash my thick hair without such little water pressure.) the staff / especially head chef Nick - is amazing! The grounds are beautiful.

My family stayed in an Ocean Front room recently and loved the resort. The thing that stood out most for us was the staff. Every person we interacted with was incredibly friendly, helpful with any questions we had, always a smile on their faces and a warm greeting. The room had an incredible view although it could definitely use some updating. The continental breakfast at times was scarce, but other days there was fresh fruit and yogurt options. The full breakfast, lunch and dinner items were quite good.

Bermuda is stunning! Willowbank was an excellent choice for our first trip! A former Christian retreat with old world charm, loved it! Gorgeous views and two private pink sank beaches!! The staff and all Bermudians were the most friendly that we’ve ever encountered! The Willowbank restaurant prepared the best “local” fried fish on raisin bread sandwich on the island!! Will definitely return next time during lobster season!

Incredible Place with Incredible People.

I stayed at Willowbank Resort with my husband, 2 year old, and my brothers. I fell in love with the place. The staff were absolutely BEYOND. Front desk, security, the restaurant, the owners - the most wonderful people, so lovely, so kind and such a joy to be around. From the first night on front desk we were assisted to our rooms and stayed in Tamarisk 1 and Tamarisk 4 - unbeatable view with a superb little private beach. We ate at the restaurant most nights and enjoyed our meals so much. The grounds and the facilities themselves are great, super chilled out , super clean and incredibly family friendly. My little daughter loved it so much and it brought me so much joy. I am going to give a more fuller review to name the wonderful people who we interacted with at a later date as I simply have not gotten round to doing so, but if you are in two minds if you should stay here then just go for it. 2 years prior we had gotten married and stayed at Cambridge Beaches and had a good time, we were going to go there again but decided to try Willowbank and I really enjoyed the peacefulness low key vibe - wild, free and super peaceful, a true gem. CHEFS KISS. Thank you to all of you. I cannot wait to come back. Much love to all of the Willowbank Resort . Thank you for such a warm and welcoming stay.

First the pros: very quiet, very clean hotel, two tiny beaches, but beautiful. Food at the restaurant is very good and service at the restaurant is excellent. The cons: it is far from most places and since you cannot rent a car it is quite challenging to find transportation. The hotel would call a taxi and it would take over 30-40 minutes to get it, it is shows at all. Reception does not help on this. Also we did not like the room- it was obviously not used for a long time, it had a funny smell and was very humid. We saw much better rooms so that was only our experience, but it did make a difference. Overall good, but select a room facing the water as those seemed much better.
