Bermuda has a great selection of resorts and condo hotels to choose from. So if you prefer self-catering or a catered vacation experience, there's sure to be somewhere that can accommodate you. The question of whether to opt for a catered or self-catered vacation is down entirely to personal preference, as both options have their pros and cons.
Self-catering allows you to choose exactly when you eat and what, giving you more freedom. It can also help you avoid needlessly over-indulging due to wanting to get the most for your money. And, for those who cherish their personal space, avoiding resort restaurants is a key upside of self-catering.
If you do decide to self-cater, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to sample the excellent cuisine Bermuda has to offer. From interesting local delicacies to the finest food in the North Atlantic. This guide to Bermuda food loved by locals and the best foodie activities to enjoy on the island are a great place to start for vacationers who plan to self-cater.
With catered vacations, you don’t have to worry about leaving the comfort of your resort to find a meal or snack and can effectively leave your wallet in your room. Needing to source and pay upfront for every meal or snack can be a big disadvantage to many travellers, especially larger parties or families for whom meals can take a lot more coordination.
While you plan your Bermuda vacation, make sure to ask the hotel condominium or resort beforehand about their catering options.
For American visitors, there are no issues with currency and banking when holidaying in Bermuda. The Bermudian Dollar is directly interchangeable with the American Dollar and both forms of currency are accepted throughout the island. So, if you choose, you won’t even need to exchange your cash.
If you’re trying to decide whether to bring cash or your credit or debit card, the best advice is to bring both in case of any emergencies where you either need more money or find yourself somewhere that doesn’t accept cards. Although that scenario is highly unlikely, rest assured.
There are four banks on the island and over 40 ATMs, with some offering Bermudian and American Dollars. Visa, MasterCard and American Express credit cards are accepted almost everywhere, too. You won't need to spend hours worrying about getting an international debit card or exchanging every last cent of your money.
Bermuda's currency is just one question you might have. We also have an FAQ guide that dives deeper into any other questions you may have.
