My husband and I stayed at Willowbank for the Fourth of July weekend. Things got rocky for us right from the start. We booked an ocean-view room and it was not available when we got there. The manager put us in a pool-view room and gave us a $50 credit towards food and drinks at the on-site restaurant. The pool-view room was tiny, had non-existent water pressure in the shower, and the price difference between the two rooms was far more than $50. We were not adequately compensated for the inconvenience. We had to stay there the first night and my husband ended up having to make multiple trips to the front desk on Day 2 for them to finally get the room we paid for available. There was poor communication amongst staff which made a few reasonable things we requested either delayed or denied. We will definitely be back to Bermuda, but not this resort. Here are the pros and cons of Willowbank: Pros -Beautiful views -There are two beaches on the resort and most days my husband and I had the beach closet to our room to ourselves. -It's very, VERY quiet. If you want a chill vacation, this is your spot. -There are two bus stops very close to the resort and the buses are clean and safe. WIllowbank is far from everything, so you'll need transportation to go anywhere. -The security guards were helpful and resourceful. Cons -As noted above, Willowbank is far from everything, so if you don't want to take a bus somewhere, your only option is to take an expensive taxi (and even with that, you have to tell the front desk an hour before you need your taxi). -Bermuda is a pricey place in general and Willowbank's on-site restaurant is no exception. On top of that, the food is not great. -Poor management. Because of a lack of record-keeping and communication, we had to repeat our simple requests (Is our room available?, Is the taxi on the way? etc) multiple times to multiple staffers. Willowbank could use an organizational audit to streamline these basic functions.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Pompano Beach Club. The location is absolutely perfect. You are on top of the most crystal clear waters and see the most amazing aqua, teal, and blue water. The beach at low tide is walkable for what seems like forever. There are NO waves and you can truly, truly relax. They have wonderful rafts that I would just float around on out on an empty and calm sea for hours. The sunsets are perfection. Kyro at the beach bar is the absolute best- a super kind young guy who makes sure everything is just right. The owners and the rest of the staff are absolutely lovely as well, from those providing food and drink service, to behind the front desk, the chefs and more! The meal plan is amazing- breakfast and dinner included. The dinners were impressively good for what you are paying- it really is a 5 course meal. One restaurant has a set menu and the other changes nightly. They are super smart and switch up breakfast between table service and buffet service, keeping it from getting boring. Monday night swizzle party and bbq was so fun and yummy! You pay your own way if you want lunch and drinks, but prices were reasonable. They charge everything to your room (no need for a wallet at the hotel) and add a gratuity, and our final bill was way way less than we anticipated! Like, impressively so. The bartenders pour a heavy drink and you definitely get your money’s worth. They have free a shuttle to a few common locations or they can call you a cab. They can also connect you with a super reliable transport company to/from the airport (CEO). The hotel guests are predominantly older folx and just a handful of families. But this makes it perfect as the beach isn’t crowded and overrun with an endless spread of chairs and umbrellas. It’s quiet and serene. The online pictures are really what it looks like! The only (and I do mean only) downside is that there isn’t music throughout the resort. Not even at dinner or breakfast. Just a little lobby and dining area music would make it total perfection. But everything else is perfect and so this really is not a complaint. The deluxe room was so worth it for the spectacular views of the ocean and sunsets. I spent more time out there than in the room. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a calm, quiet paradise with plenty of food and great hospitality. If you’re young and want lively parties and dance clubs, come back in 10 years! We celebrated a 40th birthday and it was the absolute best location for the occasion.

El servicio es bueno
