Do any hotels offer day passes to use their pool?

[cruiserkelli]

I'll be arriving in Bermuda on 10/12 on the NCL Majesty. I'm travelling with my friend and my parents. My mom has difficulty walking, especially walking more than a few feet or on sand. We are trying to find a hotel on the island that would be willing to let us use their pool facilities as my mom can't walk on the beach. We are willing to pay a fee for that service and are hoping that since it is October and not peak season, that someone will help us. Can anyone advise us? We are willing to take a taxi or ferry anywhere on the island and if necessary to reserve a room overnight, we may do that too but most hotels I've checked with are over $200 per night...a little more than we can afford to spend to lay by a pool for a few hours. Any suggestions? Thanks! Kelli

Kelli,

I hate to say it but I think you're out of luck.

This type of question comes up from time to time on this board and there has never been a place, although people were asking about using all a resort"s facilities not just the pool.

Thanks Colette! I should have known that you'd have a good idea. I consider you a pretty good expert on all things Bermuda. I know that years ago (I'm going back at least 10-15 years), we were able to use the pool and beach at Grotto Bay. I didn't even bother to ask them this time because I remember the walk to get to the pool was a bit far and also downhill...which is fine going down but not so great on the return. My mom has been having problems with a bad hip and now what we believe may be sciatica, causing pretty major pain in her leg. I've checked a few hotels and a room night is over $200.00 per night at the cheapest place. Just a bit too much for me just to lay by the pool. I'm going to keep checking though. Thanks again, see ya in a couple of weeks! Kelli

Kelli,

You could try contacting the St. George's Club, explain your situation and ask They have some daily rates (listed on Trip Advisor) that are not bad but they're based on multiple days. All they can say is no.

Perhaps 9 Beaches Resort would allow it. I recall reading they had a shuttle from the Dockyard for cruise ship passengers, so they may be willing. It is a long, long way from St. George's though.

Kelli,

Horse is right about 9 Beaches. Although it's far away, almost over to the Dockyard area, you can get a day pass there, $50 pp. $80 a couple. I would contact them and verify since there's been conflicting info on that. Someone mentioned that they will even provide a ride down to the beach in a golf cart if your mother would like that in addition to the pool.

Thanks for all the suggestions Colette and njhorseman! I really appreciate the insight. I had contacted 9 Beaches about a room rate and it was well over $200 for one night in their least expensive room. I am going to contact them again to ask about a day pass. I will also look into the St. Georges Club...I am familiar with that property. I've been to Bermuda well over 20 times so I know most of the hotels and other than Grotto Bay, have never sought out a day pass at any of them. I'm going to keep checking though. Thanks again for all the help! Kelli
