Bermuda Elbow Beach Escape Day

It was absolutely beautiful! Our driver Calvin was awesome and asked why we chose to go to Elbow Beach and he said we were the first people he took there. I told him my grandparents had honeymooned there and stayed at the Elbow Beach hotel. He said he actually worked there until it closed but a company bought it and they are renovating it. He took us to the hotel so I could get a few pictures to show my grandma when I got back home which was really awesome of him! He said it was his favorite beach too. The beach itself was perfect! We had the whole beach to ourselves for a couple of hours. Other people showed up but it wasn’t nearly as crowded as the other famous beaches. They provided beach chairs, an umbrella, gave us some rum swizzle, and some water. They communicated really well on where they would pick us up and what time from the cruise ship in the Dockyard. I would definitely book this excursion again!

Great day of relaxation. Dean was great!! We walked to the bonefish grill to meet up with him. This was a 5 minute walk from the ship. He drove us to a private part of Elbow beach, and set us up with a cooler with ice, water, two cups and a bottle of rum Swizler. Two lounge chairs, and an umbrellan where we were the only two people on it. Coco reef resort next to us had facilities next to their pool, and a restaurant where we had lunch. Although we didn't have to worry about when we got back to the ship because it was staying overnight, he came to pick us up to go back on time. A very memorable experience!

We actually were not able to go based on a rain storm and the company was very cooperative about cabcwlling arrangements and refunding us

My group paid 90.00 per person for umbrella and a beach chair. We got 3 umbrella a chair that was on the sand and a cooler with drinks. This is not what the description was on brochure. So disappointed. I will not return because we paid $11,00. We did not get accommodated for the value of the money we paid.

After ghosting us for the week prior to this experience, we received a cancellation notice 8pm the night before. Not good business practice; we're disappointed Viator uses this provider.

It was an ok experience. Beach and water were beautiful. They had 2 small beach chairs, not loungers, with a tiny umbrella. The drinks were in a dirty cooler, but it was ok, because everything was sealed. We loved the uncrowded beach. Just a port a pot, but we managed. We were taken in an ok car, not a van like we had thought. Overall, it was ok...what made it was the destination.

The cooler with a bottle of rum swizzle and cold water was a pleasant surprise … Our host was on time …. The beach and water were spectacular … We walked down the beach to Cafe Lido restaurant ( take flip flops and beach cover up as it is upscale )

I booked this experience and it actually turned out to be a great day, however there are several things I would like to mention. When I booked it I was under the impression that this was to be like a resort for a day experience, it was not. My fault for the misunderstanding, it was a ride to Elbow Beach, which has no amenities, our driver had small beach chairs, and umbrellas for us. The meeting place was not provided and I had to call the Bermuda number to find out where our pick up was to be. Even at that there was miscommunication so the pickup was not timely. Our driver from Bermuda Tours, Dean, could not have been nicer and because of him I will try not to be negative. We did not end up at Elbow Beach, but he took us to Horseshoe Bay instead, at our request to have a beach with amenities. Our day there was fabulous. My husband is a large man so he could not use the small beach chairs that we were provided so we ended up renting from the attendants on shore. The cost of this excursion was about $190, we could have gotten off the ship, taken a van to Horseshoe Bay for a total round trip cost of $28 for two. The rental of chairs and umbrellas at the beach would have been and additional $20, however we would not have had the bottle of rum swizzler that was provided by Dean. All in all our beach day was great but costly. To give more credit to Dean, he was so gracious, he actually understood our wishes for the day and made the suggestion to go to the alternate beach, on the way he gave us a lovely narrated tour of parts of beautiful Bermuda.
