Oh-and we looked into fractional ownership
at Tucker's Point, but its not the location we want. So Horizon's is going
into that too--and Ariel Sands will also
become a private enclave club.

Did you go by and look at those Ariel Sands units? I thought they were pretty unattractive. I wish I could interest DH in a Bermuda residence, but he is a born and bred NC mountain man. Guess I will have to content myself with a trip or two a year. Happy travels, Penny.

Yes, those units at Ariel Sands look more
like they would fit in Anguilla--not
Bermuda. I agree!!

You have made some really good choices. Just a couple of observations and suggestions.
Aggie's Garden - Breakfast -their food is great and they are located literally right on the harbor so it is fun to sit outside and enjoy watching the ships while you eat. the portions are quite small.

If you want to walk to dinner, Waterloo House is right next door to the Princess and is very good. Make reservations. Another easily walkable dinner choice would be Ascots.



Lighthouse Tearoom - This is a fun place to stop if for nothing else the incredible view. I like the food for lunch, they always have quite good soups and salads.
Tom Moore's Tavern - Dinner-the food is good but it is a long ride from the Princess.
Fourways - consider Sunday brunch here, very good, reservations essential. Take the ferry and walk up the hill. Lovely way to have an evening out.

I would also add the Lemon Tree to your choices for breakfast or lunch. The food is very good and it is fun to sit in the park and enjoy it. It will be a short walk from your hotel, left out the front door, left at the Irish Linen Shop (at the birdcage) and it will be on your left next door to the post office.

Have a great visit.

Major OOOPS. Go right out of the hotel to head towards the Lemon Tree. So sorry, chalk it up to an aging mind.

Thanks for all the great suggestions! We are staying at the Fairmont Southampton though. I'm sure we'll be able to get around fairly easily.

Yes, I am sure you will be able to get around easily. Bermuda has a first class public transportation system. Have a wonderful trip.

Make sure your husband packs a sports coat or jacket for dinner at Horizon's.....unless it's a Friday night casual BBQ. Hope you make advance reservation's for dinner at most of your named choices. Last...Gibbs Lighthouse open for Breakfast??????

My wife and I just returned from Bermuda. The Barracuda Grill next to the Hog Penny was the best dinner on our trip. Highly recommended by 2 locals.

citychic, a little of this information is out of date. Waterloo is closed as is Aggie's Garden. Some of the new players in the great food circuit are Blu, Beau Rivage, Tucker's Point, Mad Hatters, and the Dining Room at the Gibbs Lighthouse.
Have a great trip.
