Description:

Less than one mile from Bermuda International Airport lies the inviting Grotto Bay Beach Hotel in Crawl, Bermuda. This hotel is located near many of Bermuda's major attractions, including Crystal Caves, Devil's Hole Aquarium, the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo, Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute and the historic town of St. George.
Guests can stroll through the resort's 21 acres of manicured lawns, forested areas and brilliantly hued flower gardens. Along the resort's shoreline, two theatrically lighted limestone caves provide a dramatic alternative to swimming in the ocean or splashing in the resort's freshwater, freeform pool. Guests can also enjoy the seclusion of the garden's spa tub. A beautiful pink-sand beach invites sunbathers to stretch out next to the calm waters of Grotto Bay. Guests can enjoy all forms of watersports, including kayaking, water skiing, windsurfing, fishing and sailing. For younger visitors, the resort includes a playground and video game arcade, and complimentary supervised children's programs are available during the summer months. Guests can observe artisans at work in the Bermuda Glass-Blowing Studio that lies near the resort's back entrance. The Hibiscus Room offers buffet and a la carte breakfasts and lunches that feature seafood and prime rib. The casual Rum House features live nightly entertainment and serves ribs, pizza, seafood, salads and appetizers.

The Grotto Bay Beach Hotel offers 201 guestrooms in 11 three-story pastel-washed lodges. The décor features pastel Caribbean colors that play against gleaming white-tile floors. All guestrooms have views of the Atlantic Ocean, in-room safes, refrigerators and dial-up Internet access.

Driving Directions

Bermuda International Airport (BDA): Approximate driving time is 5 minutes and distance is 0.5 miles. Getting there: Rental cars are not allowed by the government but a government-licensed shuttle service, Bee Line Transport, meets all flights. Trips to the hotel can be arranged at the Bee Line desk outside the arrivals hall for USD 5-15 per person round trip. (The Bermuda dollar is on par with the US dollar and US dollars are widely accepted.) Metered taxi fare is USD 5-15. Fees subject to change without notice. Public buses pick up near the departures area but do not allow luggage on board.
Shuttle vans or private cars of varying prices are available. They can be selected during the process of booking an air-inclusive reservation for this hotel, via this Web site, and added to the total trip cost.
Getting around: For shopping, dining, and entertainment choices beyond this property, guests usually travel to either Hamilton or St. George's. Bermuda does not allow visitors to rent cars, but it runs a convenient public bus service, popular with both residents and visitors alike. Pink buses stop in front of the hotel and can whisk passengers to St. George's in about 10 minutes and to downtown Hamilton in about 25 minutes. Single fares are less than USD 5 but a better deal is the bus pass (1- day: USD 5-15 and 3-days: USD 16-25) which is also good for ferry travel. Public ferries leave from the terminal on Front St in Hamilton for Paget, Warwick, Dockyard, St. George's, Rockaway, and Somerset with most single fares less than USD 5. Fees subject to change without notice. Schedules vary according to season and day of the week. Bicycles can be rented (USD 5-15 a day) although they are second in choice to more popular mopeds (more than USD 36 a day.) Driving is on the left side of the road. The hotel also offers complimentary shuttle service within the grounds of its own property.
