Bermuda Hotel Association's "Hurricane Guarantee" Program.

Updated: July 2008

Visitors planning trips to the famed pink sand beaches of Bermuda over the coming months can now do so with greater peace of mind due to the first-ever "Hurricane Guarantee" program offered by many of the island's top resorts.

While the occurrence of hurricanes hitting the island has historically been rare, Bermuda's Hurricane Guarantee takes the worry out of booking and provides guests with complete confidence that they will be able to enjoy a "Bermudaful" vacation through the following program, created by the Bermuda Hotel Association:

In the event that a hurricane-force storm is predicted by the Bermuda Weather Service to approach within 200 miles of Bermuda and within five days, the guest will be permitted to cancel their hotel reservations without penalty. Deposits can be refunded or applied to any future booking if the guest is unable to recover the same under travel insurance (a copy of the guest's travel insurance may be requested by participating hotel management). Group booking cancellations will be handled on an individual basis in accordance with the group contract.

In the event that the island is directly affected by a hurricane (as determined by the Bermuda Weather Service) during the guest's stay in Bermuda, the participating hotel will not charge for rooms, food and beverage or other essential services for any period of time that the participating hotel's normal services are not available.

In the event that a participating hotel is not able to continue its operations due to damage incurred by a hurricane (as determined by the Bermuda Weather Service), the participating hotel will invite the guest to return for a complimentary stay within one year from the reopening of the participating hotel.

The replacement stay must be taken within one year from the reopening of the participating hotel and will be in an equivalent room category to the one originally booked, and will be subject to certain blackout dates and availability. This offer is subject to change and may be withdrawn at any time without notice. Other expenses including, but not limited to, airfare, food and beverage, incidental room charges are not included or covered by this guarantee.

Participant properties in Bermuda's Hurricane Guarantee include: 9 Beaches, Cambridge Beaches, Edgehill, Elbow Beach Bermuda, Fairmont Hamilton Princess, Fairmont Southampton, Grotto Bay Beach Resort, Surfside Beach Club, Rosedon Hotel, Fourways Inn & Cottage Colony, Grape Bay Beach Hotel, The Wharf, and Royal Palms Hotel.
