How to Get Around?
For families, the bus is a cost effective option. Otherwise, either renting a stylish electric mini-car called a Twizzy (if you have bigger kids), or taxis. Hitch is a solid option, to make it easier to get taxis. It's our version of Uber.
Where to Stay?
The Rosewood Bermuda is a stunning hotel, perfect for kids and adults alike. It has beautiful pools, golf courses, an inflatable waterpark in the summer, and watersport centre, poised along the picturesque coast of Castle Harbour.
