Review of Southampton Princess Hotel

The resort is supposed to be largest and best in Bermuda. If that is it's aspirations, while might be best here, I've been to nicer places in the Caribbean. Issue one is that while place does present itself nice at first, right away you can tell there are things that make it a bit outdated. Game room with ping pong table, paddles good quality but now destroyed. The balls some cheapy plastic you can't have normal game with those. Pool table section has 2 sticks, neither one has any tips left, literally just wood, so can't play either. The outside pool while somewhat nice but more suited to little kids than teens or adults. Coffee place closes at 4:30pm, that's a joke ! We didn't get upgraded room, so no sea view, which we expected. What I didn't expect was that I was going to have a view of a roof of lower level, horrible ! This is what beach towers in Atlantis have and even there you get some sea view, not here. But Fairmount is even more money so I didn't expect this. Speaking of money, this place is expensive! Lunch for 2 adults and two teens was about $100, dinner was about $150. And the food was nowhere that good. This didn't include any alcohol either. Better beer is $13, cheaper one $10. Needless to say I was not having it :-(
Best part are the beaches, the private beach during the early day, they have kayak rentals and chairs with umbrellas and towels provided. Very nice. In the late afternoon and evening once cruise crowds leave you can go to horse shoe beach right across parking lot and enjoy the scenery there. Overall this was a great location but hotel itself a little disappointing.
