Customer Reviews

Very helpful

We carried the book with us as we visited the island (Feb. 2009) and found it very helpful. It would have been even more helpful, however, to have known in advance that many of the museums, exhibits and other attractions are not open to the public during the winter season and that others are open only on Wednesday. Overall, however, the book was great.

I found this book very helpful

I am planning a trip to Bermuda and never having been there before I found this book very helpful. I know where to go for the activities and when to go for the events I wish to see. I see one reviewer gave a bad rating to this book because a couple of places listed in the book closed. Be aware that when these travel guides are written by the time they are published it is often up to a year later. Of course, some things will change in that time. That's no reason to trash the entire book. After reading the book I feel I will know my way around the island and what it has to offer.

Very useful guide

This was a great guide for visiting Bermuda. The hotel section was accurate and current enough to plan most of the logistics before I arrived. The guide also had a lot of current suggestions of quaint places to visit that only a long timer would know. Well worth the small investment in improving your trip. Travel tip - Although the cover of the guide shows sun and beaches, be careful about the timing of when you go. Bermuda is in the Atlantic, not the Carribean, so the water won't be so pleasant in the winter.

Has All the Info You Will Need for Your Trip

I have often wasted money by buying several travel guides for my trips abroad. This time, I wanted to buy only one for my four night trip to Bermuda. This Frommers guide turned out to be an excellent choice. It provides all the needed information about getting from the airport to your hotel/resort, getting around the island, places to stay, beaches, golf courses, the sights, restaurants, bars, shopping and everything else you could need to know for your vacation. It also has a very useful detachable map of the whole Island, including detailed maps of St. George and Hamilton. This book should truly be all that you need for your trip to Bermuda.

The best Bermuda travel book out there

I have read several books on Bermuda in preparing for our upcoming trip, and this one is by far the most helpful--and most thorough. It has a good combination of background info/history and travel info/tips. The detachable, fold-out map if the islands is particularly nice. I wish I'd bought this travel guide first (I've purchased several)--it would have saved me a good bit of time and money, since now I don't feel like I need to buy another!
