My mom wants to visit the place. When is a good time of the year? She is thinking August. Any great places to stay? Suggestions?

Best time?

That would be May 1960

Afraid you cant get there from here LOL

Tell her to go to Hedonism instead

August September or October.

How much does she want to spend on accomadations? Lots of great places to stay, most are pricey though.

Someone e-mailed me the other day looking to sell a timeshare slot they couldn't use this year at the St. Georges Club. It was about 2,000 for a week...normally 4,000. Want me to check it out?

I try to do stuff with my mom a few times a year. This is one of those trips. My sister and I will be taking her back to Bermuda for a trip. She has not been for over ten years. My moms health has not faired well over the last couple years so this means a lot to me to give her the best possible experience within some degree of financial responsibility. Curval, I would sure appreciate any help or insight including the above option.

You are coming too? Cool.

I'm happy to help as much as I can. I'll look into the timeshare thing tomorrow.

Other than that...Southampton Princess Hotel and the Elbow Beach are high end options...but you might want to look at Pompano Beach. I took the family there for lunch last September and it was great.

I'll do some digging and post links.

Fairmont Southampton Princess

Elbow Beach

Pompano Beach

The Reefs - Award Winning Hotel

There are lots of guest houses too. Not quite as expensive but they don't have a big hotel feel.

JetBlue now flies here btw

Maybe save some cash on flights. You have to get to NYC (JFK) though...where are you coming from?

Rabbid...you have a PM.

As far as hurricanes go...Raider has the dates spot on.

Not to worry though...if we have a hurricane while Rabbid is here I will provide beers for the hurricane party.

If you are going to be anywhere during a hurricane you're best bet is Bermuda.

Thanks a lot for your help! I'll put this by my mom and sis. Other ideas are of course welcome.

If you are a Storm chaser/enthusiast it would be cool becuase cities and towns in those areas are bound to have hurricane proof houses

i used to work few years for Princess Cruises, been in Bermuda many times,great island classy, clean, and is not like those hot, humid stinky caribean islands.
The only think i did hate, was the trafic on left side, like in UK. I rented a car and returned it after few min, i could't dive like that, i always seen cars Hoing me!
