Valerie Thorgersen :

I got married there in 2005. What a shame to see it torn down. It was truly a beautiful day and experience.

Deanne :

I was there in 2000, 2003 and 2005 and watched it change hands from Sonesta to Wyndham. I'll be honest, it was the best as the Sonesta. They closed it because it was hit by a hurricane. The last time we went was in 2005 and they had half of the resort open, the other half was being worked on due to the hurricane damage (it was hit the hardest on the island) they have pictures in the lobby bar. from what I had heard, there was just too much damage to repair it, so they are tearing it down to rebuild it. I just hope it comes back to what we all loved and knew.

Dianne Nickel :

I didn't get to the Wyndham but enjoyed the Sonesta. My husband and I found the hotel and staff to be wonderful and the best vacation that we had ever had. The site is amazing and I look forward to returning. I am sorry to hear that it is being torn down.

Is it still closed? Why did it close? We stayed there in May, 2006 and loved it.

chantal :

We stayed at Wyndham and loved it. It was the best family vacation we have ever been on. I enjoyed it very much and wish you didn't have to close it and give it a makeover. Please don't make it so expensive we can afford it. I look forward to seeing the new work being done to it.

Kitty lynch :

The Wyndham/ Sonesta is situated on the most prime site in all of Bermuda. The Sonesta has been our family vacation destination for fourteen years.We have seen and experienced first hand the exchange of ownership and it's effects on the hotel over the years. We certainly miss the atmosphere of the old Sonesta, have enjoyed the Wyndham experience, and look forward to many more beautiful family vacations at this wonderful hotel. You can always find tasteful accomodations, but the beauty, peace, and tranquility here is unsurpassed.....takes you away from the rush of everyday living....Thanks

Karen TIntle :

Bring back the Sonesta!! We stayed at the Sonesta twice (95 & 2000), then stayed at the Wyndham (05). Mostly same staff, but it was not the charming Sonesta we had come to love!

Liz :

It's a shame it closed. The hotel had its problems but it did have the best childrens programs and activities in Bermuda.
