The Reefs is open again! We completed the first phase of enhancements to the hotel on April 1st, just in time to welcome back guests. Our lobby has two sit-down desks and a separate desk for the concierge and we’ve renovated and expanded the lobby restroom facilities. We are especially proud of our new lounge – we’ve expanded the lounge area to the terrace and there is a dedicated space for bands to set up.We've had a successful first few days. Reefs Repeaters are pleased with the improvements and the first-timers are happy to be here. The first guests of the season were John and Mary Lawrence from Glastonbury, CT.
A Bermudian tradition is to have a "roof wetting" where a bottle of black rum is poured over a new roof to seal out rain, wind and moisture. Ben Tutt invited all guests and staff to the bar at 4:00 pm for a celebratory drink after the “roof wetting.”
We can't wait for you to come visit and see our beautiful improvements to the hotel. See you soon!
FROM WHAT WE CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES, THE LOBBY LOOKS GRANDER THAN EVER. DONNA & I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALL THE CHANGES YOU'VE MADE WHEN WE RETURN LATER THIS MONTH.
ReplyDeleteTo any guests staying at the Reefs since the re-opening...please post your experiences with the construction as there are many who are interested, as it may affect their decision to stay!!
ReplyDeleteJust saw there are two new posting on trip advisor from people who have recently stayed at The Reefs. Worth checking out if you are concerned about the construction.
ReplyDeleteI was in Bermuda in March before the hotel re-opened. Stayed at the Southampton Princess, but did stop in to see what was going.
Looks as though everything is moving pretty quickly. The cement trucks park on South Shore Road and dump their load into a huge cone shaped bucket which is lifted by a large crane and delivered to the proper spot at the site.
I say that because the noisiest thing is always the cement trucks and they are pretty far away from the hotel and the beach.
The homes are being built with a cinder block and steel rod core and that construction isn't noisy.
Check out what is being said on trip advisor.
