The Blue Keys is a great value option for older couples and tourists who are more interested in charm and a homelike feel than lots of amenities. Though there are Family Rooms offered, children might become bored with the residential location and the long walks or drives to the city's attractions. The rooms are simple and tidy, but the tiny bathrooms are a little hard to maneuver in. Although the hotel is removed from the cruise ship terminals, it provides a friendlier environment than the closer-in chain hotels.

This 75-room resort’s hilltop setting is one of Bermuda’s most stunning. Consequently, all of its major amenities -- three restaurants, two bars, a lounge, a pool, three Jacuzzis, a boathouse, a game room, a small spa, and a fitness center – feature expansive ocean views and quick beach access. But killer vistas aren’t enough to save the dated decor and worn furnishings in the rooms and communal areas, which are in dire need of updates. Rates are higher than at some newer resorts with better rooms and amenities.
