Royal Palms Hotel 
$$-$$$, Pembroke Parish
Fodor's Review:
You have to love a hotel that takes its gardens with a botanist's seriousness and yet has enough sense of humor to leave a rubber ducky on your bath mat. Royal Palms is a winner for having high standards, great service, and a welcoming touch, too -- fresh-from-the-garden flowers celebrate your arrival. The best perch might well be the front swing, from which you can survey the lush grounds, including two tall royal palms that give the hotel its name. Also wonderful is the sunny, all-glass breakfast room where you eat at 90-year-old Bermudian cedar tables. If you're looking for privacy, there are three buildings set around the gardens of the main 1903 building; many rooms here have private entrances. It's clear that brother-and-sister owners Richard Smith and Susan Weare put more detailed care into their property, and manage it better than just about anyone else in Bermuda. A final touch is Ascot's -- one of the island's best restaurants. PROS: beautiful gardens, wonderful breakfast, terrific service, great restaurant. CONS: no pool, no beach, 10-minute walk to Hamilton.

Perfect Bermuda hideaway on the edge of Hamilton
Posted by CRichardson1 from London, England on 1/14/08
This is a perfect little oasis on the edge of Hamilton. We travel extensively but were still impressed by this 'boutique' hotel for its personal attention and standard/value of accommodation. It seems that many or most of the guests were business regulars but Theresa and Johnny still found time to give us advice about what to do and where to go. The rooms have flat screens TVs, fast Internet and are bright and well furnished in traditional style. They have a first class restaurant (Ascots) but we certainly wanted to dine elsewhere and Theresa was very helpful in making reservations etc. This is an ideal getaway for couples I don't know if families with young children would find it close enough to the beach. We didn't need the beach and will return
