Travel Agent - October 13, 2008 - (Page 20) DESTINATIONS CARIBBEAN, BAHAMAS & BERMUDA BERMUDA New and revamped resorts boost business LATELY, THERE’S BEEN A LOT GOING ON IN BERMUDA—from new and soonto-be-open hotels and fresh attractions, to initiatives and new airline information. To keep you in the loop, Travel Agent pulled together some of the latest updates on what is once again becoming a popular island destination. BY JOE PIKE The pool area at Newstead Belmont Hills Resort and Spa offers views of the harbor New Hotels and Resorts Widely recognized as one of the best hotels in Bermuda, The Reefs (www.thereefs.com) has undergone an expansion of facilities as a new luxury private residence club is being built next door. 20 | TravelAgent October 13, 2008 The first phase of enhancements was completed in April and included a new bar and lounge, redesigned reception area and expanded restrooms. Not all of the rooms are open, so availability is still limited. There will be 19 fractional units added to the inventory.

Coconuts, the property’s other restaurant, has been open only to its guests as well, although they will soon be gradually lifting the restrictions so that local residents can enjoy these facilities. Presently, this property has 63 units in its inventory (down from its pre-construction level of 65), and its 19 fractional units are expected to be available by May.

In fact, this 200-acre waterfront property is said to be Bermuda’s first luxury resort, private club and residential community. It has been opening in phases, with the golf course’s debut in May of 2002, the Beach Club in late 2003 and the Golf Clubhouse in December of 2004. The Tucker’s Point Hotel & Spa began construction in 2006 and is scheduled to be finished by 2009. Horizons and Cottages (www.horizons cottages.com) had reopened in April as a bed-and-breakfast, and its fully operational restaurant, Splendido, opened in August.
