Bermuda's Apartments, Cottages and Villas for Visitors

Informal, self-catering efficiency units

Preface

Housekeeping units are their names in Bermuda. But in North America, where Bermuda gets 95 percent of its tourism business, they are efficiency units. British terminology they are self-catering units ("European Plan" in North America).

A few have their own private beach - like the units shown below - but none are far from lovely public beaches. See our list of Bermuda Beaches. Most have a pool and pleasant views but not usually a clubhouse. They don't serve breakfast unless they have their own restaurant (very few do), but there are many restaurants available in every Parish. See our list of Bermuda Restaurants. Otherwise, staying guests buy and prepare their own food, obtainable at local supermarkets or convenience stores. The Wednesday or Friday local daily newspaper will have details of weekly prices in the local food stores. Or see the Cost of Living Guide. With Bermuda's resident population of 61,400 in only 21 square miles, plus 550,000 visitors a year, pick a place that will give you peace and quiet. Most places shown below are commercial operations, licensed and inspected by the Bermuda Government's Department of Tourism and up to international standards. But a few are select private homes, not licensed or inspected - the main reason why only a few of them are here - taking paying guests, offering a limited number of bedrooms to visitors. Some owners of private homes may be employed during the day at other places so you may find it more productive to contact them at weekends or after 6 pm Bermuda time (one hour ahead of EST and 4 hours behind GMT). Some have lower rates from November to March.

We'll gladly list all known Bermuda guest properties in this category and don't charge them a cent for it. We do not charge any commission for listing them or receive any other benefit from doing so. All we ask in return for including their website as a reputable and reliable Bermuda resource with a free courtesy weblink after we've checked them out just to confirm if they do indeed have the facilities claimed - again at no cost to them at all - is that they reciprocate with a free courtesy web link to our site at http://www.bermuda-online.org showing us as a reputable, extensive and reliable Bermuda resource.

We've long advocated that free mutual courtesy hyper links - web links, links - are not just in Bermuda's best interests but specifically in the interests of our visitors. Free courtesy links to websites, as we recommend, provide on all the Bermuda web sites that carry them a unique service to our visitors.

How? They normally show, directly from the web sites of hotels or guest houses or apartments concerned, full details of their histories, operations, prices and services, plus what transportation options, public (for example, buses or ferries) or private (such as rental mopeds or scooters or cycles) are near them. Sorry but when web sites are not linked to us and don't show us as a Bermuda resource, we can't link to or recommend them. See our Links and Mentions policy at http://www.bermuda-online.org/links.htm.

Internet Access

Prospective clients who are internet savvy should check this out well in advance. Properties are asked to inform this author when they offer Free WIFI or WIFI or other Internet services to their clients. It can be hugely important that where you stay has wireless (WI-FI) Internet either as a standard or an optional extra throughout the property, giving clients the ability to send and receive not only emails but ftp files and attachments including digital photographs. Many clients assume wrongly that they will have these same abilities on their business visits or vacations, via their laptops or the property's, as they do in their homes and places of employment. But this is not the case. Some Bermuda properties don't have rooms or suites with wireless Internet access. Instead, if they have internet access at all, they may limit their service to Internet rooms for passengers to send and receive text emails only, no attachments such as photographs. Those who travel to wonderful places like Bermuda want to be able to email photos, including where they stay of course, back home to their families, friends and colleagues. If they cannot, it's a significant opportunity wasted for both clients and properties in terms of publicity and more clientele.
