Lets mislead the college kids with videos of people partying during the summer months and posing in the pics above in skimpy bikinis. Its like a ski resort trying to sell lift passes in the summer.

Preach on Belcario! Bermudians need to change the way they think in order for this country to move forward and prevail against the old antiquated thinking that has plagued and continues to plague us as a country. It’s INSANE to think that we should continue to do things the same and expect different results (in this case fill up all the bed in the hotel). People of Bermuda, challenge each other to step outside the box, try something different, support one another and come together for the betterment of this country.

Go Bermuda Spring Break….!!!!

I’ve been to Cancun over 10 times in the last 7 years. I can assure you Cancun’s $50/night hotels have much nicer rooms, pool, and food than 90% of the hotels in Bermuda.

To be fair, those 50 bucks a night hotels are rat holes. I know becuase i’ve been to several of them. Now the really nice ones in Cancun are around 300 plus a night. Get your facts straight.

Go Bermuda Spring Break!
Great start, got to start somewhere.
Tipping my hat to the Pioneers who are going at it first.
To all the negative, arm chair non-promoters doing little tanglible to assist efforts to drag the island into relavance with innovative concepts (which, yes will always need tweeking)…just die off already.

Its very exciting to see that there are steps being taken to revive our dying tourism industry. Keep in mind that the repeat visitors that we rely on now were first introduced to Bermuda during “College Weeks” in the 60s,70s and 80s but unfortunately they will not live forever! So Cheers to the Dept of Tourism for relighting the torch and trying to get some fresh “repeaters” to hit the pink sand. It’s going to be hard work and its going to take the island as a whole (even the skeptics who cant see past thier own thoughts) to make it work…but we can do it BERMUDA!

Well i applaud the Tourism Department for finally doing something with Tourism. Great Job.

However, what i find very interesting is the venue used to house these tourists. Payback for a certain hotelier’s political support, perhaps?

Coco Reef isn’t the only hotel on the island for tourists people. Spread it around and lets help everyone not just the clique ok.

I went to college in NJ and MA and my birthday is early March(which coincided with spring break). Every year I came home during during this time with friends from the states and we ENJOYED the 65 F degree weather. We went boating, jet skiing and swimming. Remember folks, in Jan and Feb the temperature is often below zero with the wind factor, and the Canadians students have it colder. Good job Bermuda…I’ll pass the word to my lil cousins in college.

They need to pack a wetsuit while they are at it.

Also, $80 a night? You kidding me?? How is that competitive against all-inclusive resorts in Cancun that offer rates of $50/night with breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and room service all included?

It’s like offering affordable housing in Manhattan to bums but asking them to pay the mortgage.
