“Best room ever!! Well kept hotel with freiendly service.”

Simply put, this was the best room we have ever had at any hotel (many high end and expensive). It was more like a small condo acutually. It may not be everyone's cup of tea due to the fact that there is no beach on the hotel grounds and you do have to play the "shuttle game" to get tp the beach, golf course or Hamilton itself. But the room, deck and view more than made up for it. There was no big crowd anywhere at the hotel. The infinity pool is not huge, but very nice and pool bar great for that relief from the sun. Both restaurants (Beau Rivage and Blu at the golf course) we found to be outstanding, particularly for seafood which we looked forward to. Best of all was the room which simply had everything needed for a relaxing and enjoyable time. Large bathroom with walk in shower and whirlpool tub. Kitchen with everything needed to eat in as much as you care to. Best of all a huge and comfortable deck with awesome views to enjoy at every moment of the day. I would highly recommand the Newstead for a relaxing vacation, great room, clean thoughout, friendly staff and complete (if not overbearing) facilities. This is the perfect, luxurious escape from the rat race!

“A smaller resort with excellent accommodations and location”

Great location, 5 star accommodations, and spectacular views - who could ask for anything more. Not mentioned in the Expedia listing is that you get a free round of golf for each day of your stay. They offer a free return trip to the airport, a free twice daily shuttle to Horseshoe Beach with complimentary chairs/sun umbrella and water and there is a ferry that runs many times a day across the bay to downtown Hamilton. The price of the one bedroom suite (with 2 bathrooms and kitchen) was only $11 more per day compared to the deluxe room. This was an unbelievable deal. The staff are very friendly and very efficient. We will definitely be back.

“Beautiful Relaxation”

Great accomodation, well-appointed suites, beautiful views from private balconies of Hamilton Harbour, and fantastic staff. The pool, hot tub and spa are beautiful. The golf course was beautiful and free!! We rented scooters for five days, went all over Bermuda and had a blast, the pink sand beaches are breath-taking. The Crystal and Fantasy Caves are a must-see, the Aquarium and zoo were also a hit. Dining out is expensive so having a full kitchen in the suite was fantastic. My teenaged kids also loved the whole experience - that's always a bonus. Will definitely return!

“Super Getaway at the Newstead”

From start to finish everything was great. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We never had to wait for anything. The shuttle driver even took a detour for us to pick up groceries for the kitchen in the room on the way back from the golf course. Stayed in a one bedroom suite and it was fabulous - New, large, clean with a huge balcony with a wonderful view over Hamilton harbor and the city. Golf deal with the room was great for a beautiful challenging golf course (For a quick and tasty lunch try the Chicken Triangle Sandwich at the course snack bar. It was delicious.) Area right around the hotel is limited in services but it is convenient to get into Hamilton. The hotel ferry has limited hours so be ready to take the public ferry (right by the hotel) or a 10 minute $12 taxi ride to get to shops and choice of restaurants. Dining out in Hamilton can be pricey but we really enjoyed 'Port of Call"on Front street, the food was delicious, the wine list extensive and the service was excellent. We would definitely go back to the Newstead.

“Fabulous hotel”

The Newstead was an excellent choice for our girls golf getaway. Four of us shared two rooms and we were all extremely pleased with the hotel, restaurant, shuttles, pools and the service. Beautiful views from every room. The beds were extremely comfortable. The staff went overboard to ensure that our every need was met. The shuttle to the golf course everyday saved us a lot of money and hassle as did the water shuttle to downtown Hamilton. We all loved Bermuda and when we return it will definitely be to the Newstead!

“A Beautiful Spot”

We were quite pleased with our choice of the Newstead. We booked a 2-bedroom, 2-bath suite for our family of 4 and found it very roomy, nicely furnished, with a large porch and balcony overlooking the pool and an amazing view of Hamilton harbour. Luxurious master bath and we went to sleep each night with with a view of the Hamilton city lights from our bed. The central location was good for getting to Hamilton, beaches and Somerset by taxi, shuttle, or scooters, but walking anywhere was not practical. The hotel has a free 7- minute ferry service to Hamilton, but it only runs for a few hours in the a.m. and again in the p.m. (last return from Hamilton about 8:30) and doesn't run when raining or on Sundays, so we often had to take a taxi (about $10) to or from Hamilton. There is a free shuttle to the Belmont Hills Golf Club and Blu restaurant -- neither of which are adjacent to or within walking distance of the Newstead. Free shuttle to airport also, but must be arranged 24 hrs in advance. I gave 3 on maintenance because a/c was not working in part of our suite when we arrived, but they quickly moved us to a comparable suite when we reported it. I gave 4 on cleanliness b/c both suites had a small problem with tiny ants, but I gather they're a problem everywhere in Bermuda, regardless of how clean the room is -- just be careful not to leave anything out that would attract them!

“Superb”

For beach lovers the hotel may not be in the best location as you do have to take a shuttle which goes to Horseshoe beach or ask the concierge to take you to an alternative. However we do recommend hiring scooters we did initially for 3 days but then extended for the whole 14 day vacation, complete freedom According to my wife the spa is excellent if a little expensive actually most things are in Bermuda. Golf course is superb and as residents you get a complimentary round of golf each day (if you can avoid weekends) Hotel also arranged for tennis lessons. Restaurant is excellent but again expensive as is the one at the Golf Course Blu (excellent sushi) While the boat shuttle service over to Hamilton seems not to run in the afternoons it is no trouble to take the public ferry as the drop off point is right next to the hotel. Generally speaking this hotel is used by businessmen visiting Hamilton which makes it quite quiet, except you my get some locals booking in for the weekend then its a little livelier, our room was 730 be prepared for some road noise as well as tree frogs, insulation between our room and next door is not the best but we soon got used to it, the balcony and view is outstanding.

“Bermuda sub-tropical refinement”

Recently redone, Newstead offers great amenities and quite a luxurious atmosphere. The villas are spacious and modern, access to Hamilton (via private shuttle) is convenient. The Onions are great and represent a sub-tropical european elegance. Day trips and beach access are all convenient. Dinning is above average on site and locally. We shall return.

“Christmas Holidays in Bermuda”

Really clean. Fantastic view and place. Very friendly staff.

“Nice Bermuda visit”

Very nice property. Quiet, clean, comfortable, nice finishes throughout. Staff there to help whenever you need them. Overall very pleased.
