The Hotel was superb and the staff are the best in the industry. Elbow Beach is highly recommended! I'll definitely go back again soon.

Date of Stay: July, 2009

We just got back from a 4 day vacation at Elbow Beach and loved it. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the beach is superb. We did some snorkeling off the beach and saw lots of fish. The staff at the beach and pool were very friendly as were all the locals we met. The wait staff at the Veranda Bar were excellent. There were a couple times where the bartenders were a little abrupt/unfriendly (Mickey's Beach Bar during the day, and the Cafe Lido). We rented a moped from the Cycle Livery and the family that runs it were awesome. They were very friendly and took the time to give us a thorough training session. We went out to the Dockyard but it was pretty deserted and many shops weren't even open until 10:30am and none of the restaurants were open until 12:30. We would skip this next time. We went into Hamilton at 9am on Friday which was a mistake. There was a ton of traffic and it was very difficult to find a place for the scooter. We had our best lunch at the Reef's. beautiful setting and very friendly staff, great food reasonably priced (at least relative to Elbow Beach which had very expensive food - $19 for a burger).

We have been all over the Carribean, and Bermuda is truly unique in it's history, natural beauty, and weather. This, and a really helpful doorman, saved our trip. Elbow Beach is a Mandarin Oriental hotel (and charges you for it), but the rooms in the main hotel are damp, a bit moldy, and totally outdated. The king bed was really just 2 twins pushed together. The air conditioner dripped all over us every time we passed under it on the way to the bathroom or the door. If it hadn't been for the majestry of the island and the pleasant nature of most of it's inhabitants, we would have walked away from our anniversary trip fairly disappointed.

Date of Stay: December, 2008

The restaurant on the beach and pool were not open. The Tapas restaurant, which had smaller, more reasonably-priced items on the menu, was not open for lunch. The seahorse restaurant sat us outside in the lounge area even though there were plenty of tables further inside. No one came in and no one left while we ate and it was not crowded. We could hear the noise from the kids at the pool up on the fourth floor with the door closed. The pillows were hard lumps and on the second night I requested a feather pillow which was promptly brought to my room. There was no indication in the room that an alternative pillow was available.

Date of Stay: November, 2008

This is a lovely hotel until you try to check out. Upon check out I found over $100 in charges for a minibar that I had never even opened! They took the charges off of my account, but when I got my credit card statement they had put them back on. THEN, three months later I received another $105 charge from this hotel for a "service" fee that I had not been charged. Sorry, it's a nice hotel but I will NEVER stay here again.

Date of Stay: March, 2008

Beautiful hotel with great service. My teenage son and I stayed here for spring break. We stayed in one of the hillside cottages down from the pool. It was very private and quiet as well as convenient to the pool and beach area. We were there during the off season so there were not a lot of people around. We found food choices to be limited especially in the evening. Found the bus/ferry pass to be the best and most economical mode of transportation. Generally had meals off the property while we were out and about during the day. There is a small grocery store not far from the property so we stocked up on snacks and drinks to enjoy in the room. Breafast was also very expensive, so we kept muffins and fruit in the room to start the day. There was a small refrig in our room that housed the mini bar that we were able to use to refrigerate our personal drinks etc. The location of the hotel is great! Able to get to both ends of the island very easily as well as go in town to Hamilton. I felt very safe there. Stores and businesses close at 5:00 so we tried to get out and about early so we could return and use the beach and pool in the warmest part of the day (afternoon). Elbow Beach is private for use of hotel guests only and from what I saw it was the most beautiful beach on the island. We had lounges and umbrellas provided along with towel service and uniformed attendants. There are 3 restaurants on the beach. We ate at one of them. The food was good but pricey! Gratuity is automatically added to bill.

Date of Stay: July, 2009

We stayed at three different,similarly priced hotels while in Bermuda and found that Elbow was very dissapointing, and eventually checked out early. It is a beautiful location and has a great beach, but the room we stayed in was damp, musty, and had deferred maintenance. We tried working with hotel staff to move to a more well cared for room, and they were not particularly friendly or helpful. The hotel had low energy--- it felt like a hotel that the owner had decided not to invest in pending a renovation. The pool/spa amenities were pretty mediocre. The property may have other rooms that have been remodeled and cared for, but approach with caution.

Date of Stay: June, 2009

Great location, good looking place, staff was mostly helpful and friendly. Many servers were pleasant, but not attentive. [...] the door man was great, suggested a great running path to take. Room was located in 4th floor of main building, unhappy with odor/musty smell. Smell was bad enough that room had a stand alone dehumidifier that ran constantly and had to be emptied after 2 days. Room was old looking, view was great! We spent a lot of time at the beach, which was beautiful, the best in Bermuda, after 4 previous visits to other properties. The grounds need a little sprucing up, no attention to detail for items that at one time looked very important/pretty and maintained. Examples: flags not flown from staff each day, masonry/steps breaking up in places, flowers and trees need trimming. It is disappointing that management would let such a gem of a property run down. Restaurants were nice, food was good, but a bit over the Bermuda price range. Desserts were poor, no home baked goods equal to home. We went out to places we had eaten at before, a bit cheaper. We would go back, BUT make sure the room was newer and price was lower/consistent with room quality.

Convenient location; great beach! Happy hour at bar was very limited. Rooms are small; it's a hike to get from main hotel to beach, but once you're there, it's worth the effort!

Date of Stay: October, 2008

We choose Elbow Beach for our 20th anniversary get away because of its proximity to the ocean beach, room with a balcony overlooking the ocean, and general central location on the island. We were not disappointed on any of these features. The beautiful sunny, sandy beach with free umbrellas, chaise lounges, and towels is a short 5 min walk from the hotel which is on a hill. The hotel provides a shuttle back and forth, but we didn't need it. Anyone with a mobility issue would want to talke the shuttle. Water was blue, Blue, BLUE and seasonlly warm. We ate at two of the hotel restaurants. We had lunch at Mickey's the first day. It's right on the beach and is open air. Don't expect any bargain restaurants in Bermuda. Lunch cost us $75 incl tip for a couple salads a drinks. We also ate at Lido. This is another restaurant located near the beach. We really enjoyed this dinner. The food was excellent and the wait staff was very attentive. This hotel is located on the south shore of the island. There is a bus stop at the hotel driveway which is very convenient. Hamilton is about 8 mins away by bus. We didn't get to St. Georges, but I would guess the ride is close to an hour. My wife and I enjoyed our 4 day get away very much. The true testament to any experience is if you would do it again. Without doubt, we will visit Bermuda and Elbow Beach Hotel again. We'll start saving our dimes right now.

From the minute we checked in, we were very pleased with everything. The room was awesome and staff was very helpful. The food in the hotel and the room service was excellent. This is the only place to stay in Bermuda.

Date of Stay: July, 2009

We stayed in the main hotel which was a HUGE mistake. Our room had a dehumidifier in it which leaked and caused the carpet to have a large wet stain for our entire stay. Because of this the room STUNK HORRIBLY. We tried to get a room change but the hotel was booked solid. I DREADED returning to the room at the end of the day. The hallway carpets should have been replaced YEARS ago. I felt like I was in a cheap motel walking down the hallway. The bathroom was very small; the door hit the toilet as you opened it. There is very little counter space in the bathroom; i had to keep most of my toiletries in the nightstand. Manderin Oriental should be ashamed. If an executive were to walk in that room they would be horrified..... (When booking we thought we couldnt go wrong because the hotel is a Manderin Oriental...we were VERY WRONG) Worst room I've ever stayed in in my life. The gym wasnt that great. Water was not available 1/2 the time I was in there. On a positive note: The staff is very nice and the beachfront is beautiful. The food at the restaurants was very good. Apparently a large section of the hotel has been upgraded. Unfortunately we did not have the opportunity to check this out. I, personally, would not go back. My feeling is if they let people stay in a room that i wouldnt let an animal stay in would i take a change that the rest of the hotel is spectacular....? If we hadn't pre-paid we would have checked out in a second.

Overall it was a pleasant experience, but overall not a good bang for you dollar. This includes meals and hotel room.

Date of Stay: December, 2007

Beautiful views and nice cocktail bar with nice music. Bad front desk staff. We arrived at the Elbow Beach Hotel after staying at another hotel on the other end of the island (s). The check-in should have been smooth and easy but it wasn't. Upon checkout the next day I discovered the hotel debited and held aside the same amounts from all three cards, tying up my line of credit. I told the desk this fact and they finally straightened it out. In addition, even after I returned home I found a charge still pending on one credit card. Needless to say, be careful here with the sloppy operational issues. Perhaps.

	Date of Stay: July, 2009
The hotel was wonderful. The staff, the food and the spa were just what I needed. I was really visiting for one day and I felt as if I was gone for a wkk. I will b e back soon.

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
The thing about Elbow beach is you can stay on the property all day without missing a thing. My wife and I were on our 10th anniversary and had honeymooned in Aruba, thinking there was nothing better on earth. Boy, were we mistaken.

	Date of Stay: May, 2007
It has the feeling of old Bermuda about it. It’s very restful; just what we wanted. I'd go back. It is a well cared for Old Dear of a place. They simply need to relax a bit on their fussy bureaucratic ways.

Date of Stay: July, 2009

When we arrived at the hotel, we were told that they did not have our reservation and they here totally booked. The manager came over and told us Orbitz cancelled our reservation. We had our confirmation from Orbitz and after about 1 hour they told us that they had a room for us, we were very happy with the hotel, not Orbitz. Our week was wonderful with bermudaful weather, we love Bermuda and will always go back. But we were ready to leave for the airport, we booked through Orbitz round-trip transportation and our ride never show up, we had to pay for a taxi to get us to the airport on time, once again the hotel and the wonderful bermudian people fixed the problem that Orbitz cause. The hotel was wonderful, their beach is one of the best we have been at pink sand and clear, clear water. Bermuda has some wonderful restaurants, the hotel restaurants are all very good, but travel to other restaurants are all part of being in bermuda. During the day traveling by bus is one of the best ways to see the island.

Date of Stay: May, 2009

The hotel was really special in so many ways. It's right on the ocean and a beautifully maintained beach is equipped with chaise lounges, beach umbrellas and tables. A restaurant is located right at the beach for drinks, etc. The staff in all areas were friendly and helpful. I was absolutely shocked at the prices for food - breakfast, lunch and especially dinner. Everything cost a fortune. That seemed to be the case not only at the Elbow Beach but, to a lesser degree, in most of Bermuda. I heard tourism is down 26% for the first three months of 2009 and wonder if, since the economy is hurting, they should think about more practical food prices.

	Date of Stay: May, 2007
The staff. They were great from the bell man to the bartenders. Sea horse restaurant menu was difficult and not a lot of options. Great hotel-worth the price. Staff was great. Beach and pool was awesome. Food was pricey but typical for Bermuda. Sea horse grill restaurant menu was terrible. Everything at this resort was great.
