WHAT GUESTS SAY ABOUT CAMBRIDGE BEACHES
The Best Bermuda Vacations Begin Here
Looking for an anniversary getaway or other special trip at a place rated for having the one of the best romantic vacations in the Caribbean/Atlantic?
Over the years, discerning travelers return again and again to Cambridge Beaches for a relaxing vacation, spa escape, anniversary getaway, family gathering or other special visit. Here is what a few of them have had to say:
So many places to see in the world “30 years ago, my wife and I made a promise to each other — that the world is so large and there are so many places to see and visit, that we would not vacation in the same place twice. Well, Cambridge Beaches has forced us to break that promise: this will be our 4th year in a row returning in July. Between the personal service, the fantastic Chef, and the spa, it's like heaven on earth. As long as we are able, I know we will be there every year.” Laurence and Helene - Oak Bluffs, Martha’s Vineyard MA
We had the time of our Life!
I wanted to let you know that Ann and I were very depressed to leave. Cambridge Beaches is an awesome, very well run operation and the staff should all be proud of themselves. We truly had the time of our life! I could not give any less than a 5 out of 5 star rating.
If you're looking to relax, Cambridge Beaches by far does the best job at secluding itself from the rest of the island. We had our honeymoon and stayed in a Deluxe Premium water view cottage. We were pleased with our balcony and view. The sound of kiskadees and tree frogs are still in the midst of our minds.
The reception staff as well as the bellmen were very helpful and courteous. The cottages and the grounds are well kept and maintained. The vista throughout the property is beautiful...you see pink cottages, greenery, and the blue water wherever you look. Housekeeping services your cottage twice daily...always fresh towels and ice. We took the complimentary boat to Hamilton and once in Hamilton...we couldn't wait to get back to our cottage and the private beach!
We loved the service of the restaurants...the staff will do anything they can to please you. The food was outstanding...dinner was consistently excellent. The wine list is extensive and hits all the major wine regions of the world. Make sure to eat lunch at Breezes! Even the lunch menu was exquisite. The spa is top of the line. My wife indicated that she got one of the best facials every (and she does get them often.
If you are planning a huge event like a honeymoon or anniversary (and of course weather permitting), this place is it. Of course, if you're looking to unwind, you don't need a special event to visit Cambridge Beaches. If you're looking to go to extreme, make sure to do the private island dinner. It was truly 10 on a scale of 10. The service was impeccable! We will be back!!

The most amazing getaway We spent our honeymoon in Cambridge Beaches in August 2002. We had the most wonderful time sharing private, romantic breakfasts at our room, canoeing to private beaches in the clear blue waters, taking a snorkeling trip to the reef from Cambridge Beach's dock, and just enjoying each other's company in the beautiful surroundings. It was the most amazing getaway and the perfect way for us to start our new life together. We could not have asked for a better time, and are already thinking about when we can go back. Kevin and Laine - Charlotte, North Carolina

In a world of chaos, it gets better with time
“We 'discovered' Cambridge Beaches in September of 1957 and have returned 18 times. In a world of chaos, it is the only place we know that seems to get better with time. It is both the excellence of the location and operations and because of the unique character of Bermuda itself. Both are dramatically different than they were 46 years ago; the change is gradual, well thought out, and positive. The current staff is a marvelous blend of Bermudian and International skills. Quite simply, we are made to feel at home.” Jan and Ted - Davenport, Iowa
It only takes 5 minutes “You only have to be at Cambridge Beaches for 5 minutes before you feel relaxed.”
Stamford, Connecticut
Magical Honeymoon "We had our honeymoon at Cambridge Beaches in June (2003) and it was magical. From the second we arrived we had a surreal wonderful experience... and couldn't have earmarked that special week of our lives in a better way... Thanks again."
Dana and Zach Hohokus, NJ
Reliving a glorious and romantic time “My wife and I first visited Cambridge Beaches on our honeymoon in 1965. It was a glorious and romantic time for us. We have been lucky enough to be able to relive this wonderful experience ten other times over the past thirty-eight years. In 2003 we visited to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday and our thirty-eighth wedding anniversary. The joy that we found was the same that we felt on our first visit all those years ago. Cambridge Beaches and Bermuda are timeless and the pleasure that they deliver is priceless.”
Adin and Heather Brooksville, Maine
Perfect mid-winter getaway "We had a perfect midwinter long weekend getaway ... great for relaxing, golf, spa, reading, sipping 'Dark and Stormies' and meeting terrific new friends. Who could ask for more...just a couple of hours from NY."

Eighth trip to Bermuda, first and best to Cambridge Beaches “Our eighth visit to Bermuda and our first stay at Cambridge Beaches was by far the best! It could have been the weather which was, of course, beautiful. It could have been being there with our family — there were 10 of us.... But it was most definitely due to the staff at Cambridge. Your friendly attention to making our vacation the most enjoyable worked. We will be back.”
Rich and Michele Neptune, New Jersey
Foregoing dessert ... “Our visit to the beautiful Cambridge Beaches resort in 2002 was so memorable that we still talk about it today. The staff took us in and treated us royally. The food and services were extraordinary. One night we decided to eat 'off premises' as it seemed we had not experienced enough of what Bermuda might have to offer in dining. What a bad idea. Foregoing dessert, we headed back to Cambridge Beaches as fast as we could to see if we could make it in time for those much-heralded soufflés before the dining room closed. 'Where have you been?' exclaimed the staff. 'We've been waiting for you all evening.' Now, where else would that occur? Cambridge Beaches we love you, and we'll definitely be back!”
Sue and Kristin Saratoga Springs, New York
Royalty for a week “My husband and I visited Cambridge for our honeymoon in August 1999 and have been trying to return ever since! We are finally returning this fall. During our visit we felt as if we were royalty for the week. We felt so at home and relaxed in the peaceful atmosphere at Cambridge. We enjoyed all the quiet moments together at the beach and the elegant dining at every meal. The attentive, professional staff impressed us as much as the beauty of the property itself. The ferry to Hamilton was great fun, and the sunset sail was spectacular. We enjoyed kayaking, power boating and many day trips to the South Shore for snorkeling and swimming. The evenings were magical! Can't wait to see you soon.”
Kristin and Bill Wayne, NJ
What goes into making a stay memorable
“My wife Dianne and I are retired Innkeepers from Chestertown, MD (USA) and have some appreciation of what goes into making a guest's stay memorable. We have escaped to Cambridge Beaches five times to recharge our batteries and always come home with wonderful memories and comfort knowing that we will be back! Thanks for all that you do!!”
Don and Dianne Chestertown, Maryland
The first time was our honeymoon
“We went to Cambridge Beaches for our honeymoon in 1986 and this year will be our eighth visit. We have never been disappointed in any way during our repeat visits. The number of return guests is due in large part to the beautiful views and amenities, the great food, relaxing atmosphere, and most of all the superb staff who makes you feel welcomed and valued.”
Gay & J.D. Pittsburgh, PA
Would never go anywhere else “My husband and I have been visiting Bermuda for over 20 years and have been vacationing at Cambridge Beaches eleven times. Only once did we ever stay at another facility and once we experienced Cambridge Beaches, we never chose to go anywhere else. Cambridge Beaches has an excellent location with water on 3 sides, it is a short walk to the quaint village of Somerset, a short bus or ferry ride to the Dockyards or Hamilton. The food is outstanding and so is the staff.... The entire island has always been very welcoming and accommodating to us whenever we have visited, no matter what season of the year we choose. We expect to return to Cambridge Beaches many times in the future.”
Audree and Bob
Family tradition “My first trip to Cambridge Beaches was as a Junior in high school. We had moved from Ohio to Massachusetts and this was an attempt on my parents' part to make up for uprooting me from my childhood friends. Cambridge Beaches made me feel welcome, and I had a great time.
My next trip to Cambridge Beaches was at Christmastime, again with my parents and my husband. Two decades had passed since my first visit, but again we were charmed and thrilled with the magical Christmas we had with my parents.
A few years later ... my father turned 75 ... and was having a difficult time of it. My husband and I immediately thought of Cambridge Beaches as the answer, and the rest is history. Cambridge Beaches was incredible in helping us arrange housing and transfer from the airport for my [family] as well as a cottage for my parents, my husband and myself. They made us feel welcome at meals (quite a large boisterous group) but also were accommodating in providing drinks and food in our cottage for the 'big party.' We remain eternally appreciative of your kind, gracious and unobtrusive care for our needs. I hope to be back soon....”
Barbara and Paul
Making the board
“Many years ago, friends asked us to share their little piece of heaven — Bermuda. We have been very lucky to stay at 9 resorts on Bermuda, and we have finally found our favorite location — Cambridge Beaches. With two more trips, we will have made 'the board' [which lists guests who have reached milestone numbers of return trips] with 10 visits. We are sure you will enjoy your experience and will continue to return to Cambridge Beaches.”
Judy & Jim Media, PA
Truly indulged “I have been to stay with you twice .... On both occasions I felt truly indulged — the rooms were fabulous, the service and facilities amazing, and as I guest, I felt special, not just another number! On both occasions I relaxed on beaches where no one else ventured, enjoyed peaceful, lazy days, feasted on outstanding food and wine, and made some super friends. We can't wait to come back.”
Sara & Nic Thames Ditton, Surrey, UK
Next year and the year after that “Next year we're coming for our 50th [wedding] anniversary." Then we're coming for our 51st, 52nd ….”
A retired couple from Manhattan
After hurricane Fabian “We came to Cambridge Beaches as first-time visitors, having been to Bermuda many times before but having stayed mostly on the south shore. We were referred to [Cambridge Beaches] following hurricane Fabian's damage to our planned hotel only a week before we were to arrive. Having had the 'Cambridge Beaches Experience' now, we are converts! The staff had done a marvelous job in cleaning up after the storm, and we had a tranquil and relaxing time. Everyone was great, and we will certainly return.”
Terry and Susie Rye, New Hampshire
More than a 10 “We were vacationing at Cambridge this August 2003 for our 30th anniversary. This was our third time to Bermuda, our second time to Cambridge Beaches. Overall, our experience was better than a ten. It was perfect — the accommodations, staff, food, weather and water. We can't wait to get back there. It was like living in paradise for 5 days. If you want to pamper and spoil yourself, make it your vacation.”
Barbara and Sam Rockville, Maryland
The best, most relaxing time “Having been to Bermuda three times already, and having seen a lot of the other possibilities for spending vacation time there, all of our family — including our 19-year-old son — definitely voted for Cambridge Beaches only! We always have the best, relaxing time with you. The resort offers so much you cannot fit it all into a week's stay — a good reason to return.”
Brigitte, Gerd and Michael Duesseldorf, Germany
Dream of soufflés My husband and I have just returned from Cambridge Beaches and I cannot say enough wonderful things about it! It was only our first visit but the warmth given by the staff and property instantly make you feel like family. The afternoon tea is delightful, the beaches are incredible, the cottages relaxing and private, and the food wonderful! (I now dream about soufflés!)
