Hi there,
I am seriously considering the Bermuda 10K this October and am wondering if anyone has gone there with their child. I have a seven-year-old who LOVES the St. Croix swim I've done the last several years. I am having trouble finding accommodations for the Bermuda swim that are under 400+ a night, and am wondering about the quality of Beaches, ease in traveling around with a child when you can't rent a car, etc.etc. It seems a very expensive island, which is okay if you find the right place to stay, but I am having trouble wrapping my head around it all.
I would love to do the swim, but was alarmed when I read things about the Grotto Bay not having a great beach, and being across the street from the airport. Any advice from anyone who's done it? (We also looked at 9 Beaches, which sounded great initially, but I'm not keen on being across the harbor from the smell of slaughterhouse.)
Any comments welcome.
Thanks!
Sydne
We stay at the Buccaneer every time we go to St. Croix. It's nice, if you make sure you get out of there to eat every once in a while. (I recommend Savant--and make sure you eat outside.)
We stay in one of the family rooms, which are great because there's quite a bit more space. We've also stayed in the main building. Overall, we've had good experiences there, especially since when we got, it's for the 5-miler, and there are many swimmers staying there.
Definitely good for a group.
