we are thinking about spending 4 days in bermuda at the end of feb -- would that be a nice time of year to go? how is the weather? also, your recommendations for nice places to stay would be great! THANKS.

It will be cold. Bermuda's best weather is from May to October. I would recommend southern caribbean would be better in the month of Feb.
The Reefs is a lovely small hotel. I would wait till warmer weather though.

girlonthego is right. The Feb weather is very unpredictable. Check out www.bermudatourism.com and take a look at the section marked where to stay. You will have a big choice of hotels, b and b's and smaller properties.

Go to www.weather.bm and click on climate data. This will give you the most detailed information on the weather. This is the site that I have always used. The weather will be around 70 degrees and very spring-like - off and on wet/windy weather mixed with sun. It will not be beach weather, but you could still swim in a heated pool. If you want to go for nice walks on the beach, Elbow Beach would be a great choice - the newly decorated rooms are very nice. My favourite small resort is Pompano Beach Resort - they have tons of pictures on their site - www.pompanobeachresort.com - it is on a small, calm bay - so the beach walks are out (but then you can walk along the public south-shore beaches which are only 10-15 minutes away by scooter). We also prefer to ride the scooters at this end (west) of the island because it's not congested - it's pretty hair-raising anywhere else. At Pompano, the setting is breathtaking, the owners are extremely hospitable and the dining is gourmet with a view that will blow you away.

made a mistake on Pompano's web site - it's www.pompanobeachclub.com
