The closest resort to Hamilton is this candy-pink, family-friendly place on the marina. This place is credited with kick-starting Bermuda's tourism in 1883, but these days it has considerably more facilities: an infinity pool, hot tub, a water-sports outlet and three ambitious restaurants. Suites come with balconies, and the Marina Nights, held on Fridays at the 1609 bar, attract local and expat revelers.
