twinsaj Posted May 5, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Wondering if there were any other resorts in Bermuda that have day passes besides Coco Reef and Elbow Beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted May 6, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2015 According to a recent post you can scratch Elbow Beach from that list. They'll only give you a pass if you're willing to spend $500 for a cabana. I had read that the Fairmont Hamilton Princess will be selling a limited number of passes to their new beach club if it's not fully occupied by their own hotel guests, but there was no indication of prices.

twinsaj Posted May 6, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I was looking at the Fairmont online and it looked beautiful! I will email them and see how much the pass is. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racepoint Posted May 6, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Can you get back and let us know what the hotel says about day passes? I struck out with Elbow Beach Resort and I've written to Coco Reef to see about a reservation for this coming Monday (May 11th), but they haven't gotten back to me. Thanks!!

Rare Got2Cruise Posted May 6, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 6, 2015 A few years ago folks were talking about a place called Nine Beaches or something like that. It's not a pink sand beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinsaj Posted May 6, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Just called the Fairmont. They do not do day passes for the resort. Oh well. Looked beautiful!! Is Coco Reef really nice??? We are all adults and want a beautiful beach day. Any other suggestions would be welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racepoint Posted May 7, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 7, 2015 At this point, I'd love to book Coco Reef. I've written to them twice and we sail in less than 48 hours. No response. Ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvond Posted May 7, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Coco Reef is a very nice upscale quiet spot, we went last year and loved it and are going back in a few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted May 7, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Nine Beaches has been closed for a few years. Lol. I guess that's why it hasn't been mentioned lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racepoint Posted May 7, 2015 #12 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I thought I read somewhere on these boards that Coco Reef is the former Nine Beaches. ???????????????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racepoint Posted May 7, 2015 #16 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Thank you for the correction. I've read so much on these boards in preparation for our cruise, which sails TOMORROW. I still have not received a response to my two e-mail inquiries to Coco Reef, so it appears that won't happen. I was hoping to reserve a day pass at some resort, but at this stage, I guess I'll hae to wing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between Coco Reef and the Elbow Beach resort. Then go to one of the resorts and have a drink at the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted May 8, 2015 #19 Share Posted May 8, 2015 What about Southampton Fairmont Princess? We stayed at that resort years ago. Would be nice to visit and enjoy their beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted May 8, 2015 #20 Share Posted May 8, 2015 What about Southampton Fairmont Princess? We stayed at that resort years ago. Would be nice to visit and enjoy their beach. AFAIK they don't sell day passes. Their facilities are for hotel guests only. That's the norm for hotels in Bermuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is possible that they have partnered with this company. However, I'm not sure why anyone would pay $49 a day for lounge chair and umbrella...which is all you get with this "deal". You can use the adjacent public portion of Elbow Beach at no cost, and in the past there has sometimes been a vendor there who will rent you a lounge chair or umbrella for a lot less.

I guess some think they HAVE to go to a resort and don't understand that Bermuda is not like many of the Caribbean ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I assure you the staff at these resorts will know you're a cruise pax and treat you accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
