Bermuda is home to one true all-inclusive resort: Grotto Bay Beach Resort & Spa. The Bermuda Tourism Authority identifies Grotto Bay as the island's only all-inclusive resort. Its all-inclusive plan is an optional supplement, so it is not included automatically with every room booking.

What Is Included at Grotto Bay Beach Resort?
Grotto Bay's all-inclusive supplement includes:
- Daily breakfast, lunch and dinner
- Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages
- Theme-night buffets
- Afternoon tea
- Non-motorized water sports
- Bermuda public bus and ferry passes
The resort's official package page lists the supplement at $139 per adult per day and $85 per child per day, including gratuity. Rates and conditions can change, so confirm the current price before booking.
Grotto Bay is in Bailey's Bay. The resort has private beaches, swimming areas, dining and a cave spa. The included bus and ferry passes also give guests a way to explore Bermuda beyond the resort.
Is Grotto Bay a Traditional Caribbean-Style All-Inclusive?
Grotto Bay is not a traditional Caribbean-style all-inclusive resort. It is one Bermuda resort with an optional all-inclusive plan.
Bermuda does not offer the large selection of all-inclusive mega-resorts found in Jamaica, Mexico or the Dominican Republic. Grotto Bay's plan covers the items listed by the resort, including meals, beverages, transportation and non-motorized water sports.
The published inclusions do not cover every resort expense. Spa treatments, excursions, motorized water sports and other premium services may cost extra.
Are Other Bermuda Resorts All-Inclusive?
Most other Bermuda resorts use room-only bookings, à la carte dining or limited meal plans rather than a complete all-inclusive model.
- Pompano Beach Club offers a breakfast-and-dinner meal plan. That is different from unlimited meals, drinks and activities.
- Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa says it does not offer meal plans. Guests dine à la carte at its restaurants.
- The Reefs Resort & Club offers resort dining, private beach access, water sports equipment and other amenities, but Bermuda's tourism authority does not identify it as an all-inclusive resort.
Is Bermuda a Good Choice for an All-Inclusive Vacation?
Bermuda suits travelers who want:
- One established all-inclusive option
- A quieter, smaller-resort atmosphere
- Access to beaches, caves and water activities
- Included bus and ferry passes for exploring the island
- A resort stay combined with sightseeing and local dining
Bermuda is less suitable if you want:
- Dozens of all-inclusive resorts to compare
- Large adults-only resort complexes
- Multiple swim-up bars and extensive included entertainment
- A resort where nearly every activity is covered in the room rate
Bottom Line
Choose Grotto Bay if you want meals, drinks, transportation and selected activities included in an optional resort plan. Choose another Bermuda property if you prefer à la carte dining or a limited meal plan.
