Younger tourists? We have just stayed for a week here and it is just right. It could use a few fittings and fixtures upgrades, but it is a charming place that youngsters would not want to go to, no matter how much capital is injected. There are no nearby bars, clubs or affordable restaurants to suit “youngsters”. Furthermore, having travelled around Bermuda, my conclusion is that with only 5% of GDP focused on tourism, the country doesn’t need a load of spring breakers causing mayhem and is not geared up for the profile of the mystery tourists you suggest. I say leave it as it is, in local ownership, or at least ensure that there are very clear boundaries set for any new owners through the planning application process of licensing laws.

Faded, tired, musty pastel colours. Yup, don’t need that anymore.

Well, there we have it. Give up the uniqueness and tradition Bermuda is known for in favour of “a quick buck”.

I hope I am not around to see these youngsters in charge.

Yeah, pretty as it is, it’s also very tired. It’s got that ’70′s pastel shades vibe….needs massive upgrade.

Oh go hug a tree! The property needs an injection of capital and modernization in order to offer value to a younger tourist! You people want to support a slow death versus a rebirth!

My husband and I have been to Cambridge Beaches 22 times. We return annually. We love the ambiance and the staff. We are worried that Dovetail won’t respect the beautiful history of Cambridge Beaches and Bermuda. The main house features beautiful architectural details and antiques. We would be devastated to see Cambridge Beaches undergo any changes that would undermine the property’s character and relaxing environment.

Why didnt you put together a group of investors and make an offer?

Sadly, it is the sign of the times, so many family owned businesses are being taken over by outside investors. But, I hope, that the new owners will retain the uniqueness and the integrity of the Cambridge Beaches. It is sad that Lantana has not been sold, yet.

All the hotels are owned by foreigners as well as most major industries on the island

“Cambridge Beaches has been family owned for decades so there is an inevitable sadness at this transition of ownership.”

There is also some sadness that the Minister of Finance approved the sale of Cambridge Beaches to foreigners
