Hi babes! So excited to be sharing my first ever travel guide! (sharing a Palm Springs one soon too) but up first… BERMUDA, Bahama, come on pretty mama!
This was my first time traveling to Bermuda so I was super excited to see what it was all about! I went with Bailey, Katy, and Madison and I loved getting to hang with these girls for a couple days! My favorite part about traveling and this whole blogging thing is getting to meet other girls in this industry and forming new friendships! <3
I flew into Bermudas airport (L.F. Wade) and the views were already amazing. Getting through customs was super easy and they have cabs ready and waiting for you after you get your luggage. I am sure you can arrange transportation other ways, but I just took a cab and it was super easy! It was probably a 15-20 min drive to hotel and the cab cost about $30.
WHERE TO STAY
We stayed at the Hamilton Princess and Beach Club, also known as the ‘Pink Palace’, and oh my gosh it was beautiful! The decor of the hotel was honestly my favorite. The hotel had artwork throughout by famous artist such as Banksy and Andy Warhol. I honestly could’ve spent a whole day looking at it all! I actually had a couple of followers message me while I was there saying they have stayed at the Hamilton Princess before and loved their experience – so good to hear!
Anyway! The Hamilton Princess is located on the harbor and really close to Front street which has tons of shops and restaurants as well. This area looked so fun if you’re looking to get out and explore. If you are there on a Wednesday they have a tree festival called Harbor Nights that was recommended to us!
We stayed in a signature room with double beds, a HUGE balcony overlooking the harbor and Fairmont Gold access. (more on that under amenities) The beds were so comfy and the walk in closet was to die for. The bathroom was my favorite with a huge mirror that lit up and an oversized marble shower!

AMENITIES
The hotel offers two pools – neither were crowded during the time we were there. The infinity pool is where we hung out both times and it was perfect. They do have poolside service if you want to enjoy a bite to eat or drink by the pool – which we definitely did!
Hamilton Princess also has their own private beach club – this was my favorite! There is a shuttle that takes you there and it is about a 20 min drive. Guest have full access to all of the activities at the beach including kayaks, paddles boards and snorkel gear. Katy and I were feeling adventurous and took a kayak out! You also have full access to loungers, changing rooms, bathrooms, towels and showers. They also have a restaurant there called The Beach Club incase you spend all day there and want a bite to eat! You can either eat on the covered restaurant patio or chair side – we had lunch there when we went and it was so yummy! I highly recommend the black bean dip and the chilled peppa shrimp. For a cocktail, I recommend the pineapple crush!
Next, Hamilton Princess offers an option of Fairmont Gold, which gives you exclusive amenities such as the Fairmont Gold lounge and a private wing of the hotel. The lounge offers daily continental breakfast with so many options – an honor bar throughout the day and evening along with snacks to enjoy before dinner! We took advantage of this everyday and it was nice not to have to think about what we were going to eat for breakfast. I highly recommend the Fairmont Gold option if you decide to stay here!

WHERE TO EAT
The hotel offers 4 restaurants to pick from. The first day we ate dinner at at 1609 Restaurant and Bar and it did not disappoint. We actually ate there again for lunch the next day since it was that good. It has such a cool vibe with open air seating and overlooking the harbor. For lunch I had the three cheese nachos and for dinner I would recommend the seafood pasta!
Another restaurant you have to try is Marcus’! This restaurant is known for their world-renowned chef, Marcus Samuelsson and oh my goodness. SO good. We tried so many different things, but my personal favorites were the crispy buttermilk cauliflower and the Ace Boi lobster tacos for starters and the surf N turf for my main dish! We also enjoyed a yummy bottle of wine and the service was exceptional!
Our last night we actually ventured out for some sushi at Pearl. It was on Front street and just a quick cab ride away. I would definitely recommend it if you are wanting to get out and in the mood for Sushi! bodysuit and shorts | black swimsuit
Overall, my experience at the Hamilton Princess and Beach club was great! The grounds were so pretty and the service outstanding. I honestly can’t wait to go back to Bermuda and take Blaine this time. The little island seemed full of adventure and fun things to do!
Thank you Hamilton Princess for sponsoring our stay. As always thoughts and opinions are my own.
