SOMERSET, Bermuda
-- To stay ahead in Bermudas small but competitive hotel market,
something new is a must. That something for Cambridge Beaches is a
cottage with an infinity-edge plunge pool.
The property
added the islands first such suite with a private pool last June,
and it has proved such a hot ticket that two more units are set to
open this summer, said Michael Winfield, the resorts president and
CEO.
We really are
very pleased with the demand, Winfield said. Its a suite for the
romantics of any age.
After staying at
a resort in Bali, where Winfield saw how popular private
plunge-pool units were, he and his Cambridge Beaches team discussed
and researched implementation, and then took the plunge, he
said.
The cottage has
one bedroom, a separate dressing room and a sitting area with a
flat-screen TV and sound system. The bath has a whirlpool tub under
a picture window offering ocean views, a shower with six
showerheads and its own sound system.
Cambridge Beaches
is Bermudas original cottage colony, comprising 94 individually
decorated cottage rooms and suites on a 30-acre
peninsula.
Guests can pursue
a variety of activities, from water sports to croquet and tennis.
The resort has five private beaches and an extensive spa/wellness
program.
As for whats
next, Winfield said growth at Cambridge Beaches never
stops.
We have
reinvested more, certainly on a per-room basis, than any hotel I
know, and that will continue, he said. The resort is also
renovating its outdoor pool and refurbishing some
cottages.
