9 Beaches Wants to Position Itself as a Resort for Bloggers

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 4 Daniels Head Rd, Bermuda, MA BX

9 Beaches, that "ultra-casual resort" in Bermuda, has certainly gotten itself entrenched in the ol' social media scene: they've been getting their bloggin' on for a long time (two-esque years), but now the place seems to have gotten tons of web 2.0 action, from YouTube vids to this sort of thing.

Recall 9 Beaches is the place that promises (no, guarantees) 68-degree days, and also was kinda too smelly for a reviewer once (oh yeah; we never let anything go around here). Per the 9 Beaches peeps:

Most recently YouTube videographer Kevin Nalty (fondly known by his online moniker Nalts) visited 9 Beaches and captured her essence on film. He is spot on with his remark, “I am feeding my mojo,” because at 9 Beaches guests unwind and revive at this unexpectedly casual Bermuda resort set amid a natural xeriscape with water views all around.

And also — this may be our fave ever — the resort people say, "those same easy-goers who run in social media circles are comfortable at 9 Beaches. Here guests can enjoy sophisticated and civilized Bermuda and leave the formal attire at home." What that means to us: the same people who sit around and blog in sweatpants all day long (which could be us sometimes...) will enjoy not having to go shopping for real-world clothes before going on a trip."

Teehee. Rates start at $280 for double occupancy, bloggers.

    but do they have free WiFi?

    that is the question. also, i badly need a vacation to some place tropical but $280 a night still seems a little high for anyone on a blogger salary.

    Current Info

    The NYT review is 3 years old! Trip Advisor has more up-to-date reports on 9 Beaches. Currently the 5th best Hotel in Bermuda. Not bad for a funky little upstart. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g562685-d563054-Reviews-9_Beaches_Resort-Sandys_Bermuda.html

    a niche...

    a niche is a niche...and there are plenty of bloggers out there. I guess they are hoping to lore in bloggers so that they will freely promote their resort if it is good. I know I would post something on one of my blogs if I thought a particular resort was cool

    9beaches raving fan

    We went nuts over 9beaches... relaxing atmosphere. Great wifi connection (part of the room). Like upscale camping, though... not Ritz. We could hear the ocean all night and the weather was perfect. The smell thing almost scared us off because of the nearby farm. No worries- just say on the sunset side or away from the main entrance. You'll smell nothing but ocean. And the peeps there since a recent complete makeover of staff are more than awesome.

    Oh- and there are frogs!

    Oh and there are frogs. I scared my wife with one in our cabana. Very romantic, I know.

    Did I mention the scuba shop on site has everything you need... we didn't want to leave the report once, and we're usually total roamers.

    It's not all snooty, but it's not a bunch of party animals. It's snug in between, and the staff sets a tone that transfers to the other guests. Chillin'.

    We're going back, and I don't think I can wait a year. Bermuda doesn't need to be stuffy (even if the cab drivers make more than me).
