The Reefs Activities and Recreation

Activities and Recreation at The Reefs

An elaborate menu of recreational amenities is not needed to create the perfect vacation. While some would prefer a hotel with many different activities available, others are perfectly happy with a small selection of recreational options, because they'd rather spend their time relaxing and exploring their surroundings. While this hotel does not offer the largest assortment of, recreational offerings the Reefs may have what everything you really care about.

Water and Fitness

You'll have plenty of great things to keep you occupied during your vacation, so you may not find many reasons to stop in at the hotel's pool, but this can be very relaxing. It doesn't matter if you choose to sip a cool refreshing cocktail at the water's edge, or float aimlessly in the pool's calm waters, there are plenty of ways to benefit from the hotel's swimming pool.

Tennis

Although tennis is offered at the hotel, it isn't highly rated in this category. You probably won't have any trouble finding a court to use, considering that the hotel has 61 rooms and 2 courts available. This averages out to roughly 73 guests per tennis court, which is favorable compared to other hotels in the Caribbean. A lit court is not available, so you'll need to plan your tennis matches for the daylight hours.

It should also be mentioned that this hotel has gotten a high recommendation from Zagat's for its tennis.

If playing tennis is at the top of your list of activities for your vacation, you might want to compare this hotel to others that also offer tennis – particularly those with high ratings for tennis. A couple of other hotels worth considering are Elbow Beach Club Resort and Pompano Beach Club.

Golf

Although there isn't a golf course at the Reefs, if you'd like to play some golf during your vacation, the hotel can help you make reservations with one of the local golf courses. The nearest golf course to the Reefs is Fairmont Southampton Golf Course, 1 mile northeast of the hotel. The course is 2,684 yards long, and has been rated as a par 54. To play at this course you can anticipate paying greens fees as follows: $70. To find out more information, you can call 441-238-6952.

Watersports

Although the hotel doesn't provide any watersports, there are vendors in other locations in Bermuda. All it takes is a few phone calls, and you can enjoy some fun in the water, with the assistance of one of these local providers.

Family Activities

Although you can bring your kids to the Reefs, you should bear in mind that this hotel doesn't provide many kid-focused amenities. Since there aren't very many kids' amenities at the hotel, guests who will be bringing children along should evaluate whether their needs will be met and weigh their other options before making a final decision.
