We stayed here as an exchange for our timeshare, but you can book on your own. Very expensive, but superb units, living room, kitchen, bath, bedroom. Many units are right on the golf course with a view of the sea in the distance. The town of St. George is fascinating in itself, for this is where many navies send their sailors and trainees on cruise and you can watch them from a restaurant along the harbor as they come in to dock. There are many old buildings in the town, and a ducking stool and a reproduction of an ancient sailing ship. Some think that a shipwreck here in the late 1500s that forced the survivors to come ashore and stay until they were rescused inspired Shakespeare to write The Tempest. Make your own magic! Sample the restaurants in St. George, see the old buildings in town, board the local bus for a cheap trip across the entire country of Bermuda. The buses and water taxis are amalgamated into a complete system that will take you to Hamilton and beyond to the other end of the country. It's a small country, but quite delightful, and the people are friendly. Visit the old lighthouse that was constructed in England, taken to pieces, and reassembled on the island. Go to the top of the lighthouse, see the marvelous prisms that project the light far out to sea. Have tea in the lightkeeper's house. Go on to the Royal Naval Dockyard at the far end of the country and tour the citadel there. Come back by water taxi to Hamilton, the capital of Bermuda, where you can shop, eat, and enjoy the ambiance. The island also has a bicycle path that skirts the seacoast, and you can bicycle, jog, walk, whatever suits your taste, and see the island that way. It rained almost the entire time we were there but we still enjoyed ourselves and had a memorable trip. And remember, if you are there in the winter, the people back home are cursing the snow and here you are in the sunshine. Even rain in Bermuda is better than what they are putting up with. Expensive, but highly recommended. If you are a golfer, this is paradise.
