Elbow Beach Resort

[Travelingsisters]

We (3 sisters) will be in Bermuda July 11 & 12 on the Summit. There will be be 3 others ships in port those days (NCL Escape, HAL Veendam and Insignia). The last time we were there and this happened, we couldn't even get a seat or umbrella at Horseshoe Bay. We are thinking about booking Elbow Beach Resort for a day. If we do, does anyone know if we are guaranteed chairs and an umbrella? Is the cost of a taxi $40 and can we get one from the Resort back to the dockyard?

 

TIA for your help.

Veendam will not be in port those dates. Insignia will be in St.George's on the other end of Bermuda. I doubt that small ship 900 passenger ship will have much effect on crowds at Horseshoe Bay. And most will probably stay on the East End. On any day if you arrive at Horseshoe around noon, that is the peak, they might be out of chairs and umbrellas. Best to arrive before 11:00 am or after 1:00 pm.

 

There should not be any problem getting a taxi back from Elbow Beach. If none there the resort can call one for you. When I was there which was a number of years ago there were a couple of taxis sitting in front.

Charles, thanks for your quick response. I guess I did a bad search on which ships would be in port those days but am happy since we'll take the minibus to Horseshoe Bay. This is why I come to these boards. Thanks again.
