Tripadvisor press release (May 2024)

Since Pompano is on a cliff high above the water, you can look out for miles onto the turquoise Atlantic - make sure you have plenty of storage left in your phone for pics galore.  Management duties have passed through the Lamb family tree ever since this hotel opened in 1956.  For them, this is much more than a small resort - it's their home, and you'll be treated like family.

This beachfront newcomer on Bermuda's southwest coast is "heaven on earth".  Started as the island's first fishing club, the family-run property is adjacent to Port Royal Golf Course.  Peaceful surroundings include public areas with wicker and rattan furniture upholstered in tan, green and turquoise fabrics, and classic island-tropical rooms.  The views from almost anywhere on the grounds are just spectacular.  Named for the wood used in the chairs, beams and paneled walls, the Cedar Room serves a five-course dinner menu that changes nightly.  The bistro-style Ocean Grill affords Atlantic views through floor-to-ceiling windows.  The staff are just awesome - so friendly and eager to accommodate your every whim.

Pompano Beach Club is an intimate family-run hotel located just a 9 iron shot from your breakfast table to the 8th green at Port Royal. The Lamb family has run this luxury resort since 1956 and brothers Tom and Larry Lamb, the sons of the original owner, display a passion and enthusiasm for the property that is positively infectious.  Each new arrival is welcomed by being given a tour of the property and the level of personal attention extended to guests throughout their stay is exceptional.  Benefiting from a dramatic oceanfront setting, Pompano Beach Club has its own private beach with access to stunning coral gardens and a shallow sandbar which is the only one of its kind on the Bermuda coast.

The meals at Pompano are uniformly superb, beginning with a breakfast that's as light or as heavy as you wish. Lunch is served around the large swimming pool or on the nearby veranda. Dinner in the elegant yet casual Cedar Room is always a treat, particularly when fresh local seafood is on the menu, which changes every day. A nice wine list offers selections to complement any meal. Pompano Beach Club is a wonderful base of operations for your visit to Bermuda. It is also self-sustaining enough for you to stay there for your entire visit. It is the ideal venue for romantic getaways, for historic sightseeing and super shopping, or for a fishing adventure. You will find that everyone associated with Pompano is eager to assist you, and they go out of their way to cater to your wants and needs.

King Montgomery, The Virginia Sportsman Magazine

I cannot recommend Pompano highly enough - you should really consider getting a group of friends together and go away for a weekend in Bermuda...the setting is beyond breathtaking and what with the delightfully efficient, friendly service I think that you will be happy that you did so.

Sharleen Wilson Carr, The Mid Ocean News

This is one of the few hotels in Bermuda where most meals are included, so if you're looking for a hotel where you won't have to continuously grab your wallet, give this one a whirl.

Pompano's food is grand, the service is prompt and impressive, and the view down the cliffs to the ocean is intoxicating.

Golf Illustrated Magazine

From the resort's dining room you overlook a sheer drop to the Atlantic, as if riding a cruise ship through all blue ocean and sky. It's stunning, breathtaking, spectacular - all the clichés apply, none do the view justice.

Bon Appetit Magazine

There are a million places to stay in Bermuda, many of them very good and ready to cater to a honeymooner's whims. One of the very best of these is the Pompano Beach Club, situated high above the Atlantic on Bermuda's famed south shore. Here you'll find spacious guest rooms with endless ocean views, terrific dining at the Cedar Room Restaurant and Coral Reef Cafe (be sure to try the Bermuda chowder), rum swizzles in the Sunset Lounge and water sports of all kinds. Perhaps most notable at Pompano Beach Club is the close attention the staff pays to its guests; the hotel is ranked No. 1 among all island establishments by contributors to the reliable tripadvisor.com Web site.

The Connecticut Bride Magazine

This is a laid-back beachside hotel with a personalized service touch and stunning views of the ocean. The dining is magnificent and the service is nothing short of wonderful.

Dramatically overlooking Bermuda's southwest coast, the Pompano Beach Club offers a stunning backdrop for your wedding day.  Tucked away from the main road yet situated minutes away from the best Bermuda has to offer, you'll find an air of seclusion and intimacy at this resort.  The quality of service at Pompano is unmatched, and their staff's event planning expertise will help ensure your big day goes off without a hitch.  With its proximity to the Port Royal Golf Course, the island's most popular public course, and wide range of accommodations - each of which offers a beautiful ocean view - the Pompano Beach Club is also an ideal for your guests to stay while in Bermuda.

Bermuda Wedding & Honeymoon Magazine

Dramatically perched on limestone cliffs overlooking the southwest coast, Pompano Beach Club, owned and operated by the Lambs, an American family, since 1956, has 75 comfortable rooms and all the amenities found in a larger world-class resort.  The private pink sand beach beckons, as does the championship golf course next door, and any place with three dining rooms and two bars gets my attention every time.  And they will cook your fish catch for dinner, which I highly recommend.  My fresh tuna and wahoo were outstanding.

King Montgomery, Eastern Fly Fishing Magazine

Cliffside setting and breathtaking sea views are unbeatable; proximity to Port Royal golf course makes the place a natural for golfers.

World Tennis Magazine

Pompano Beach Club embodies the island's colorful cliché of blue water, pink buildings and white roofs.

Caribbean Travel & Life Magazine

This oceanfront hotel is one of the best honeymoon spots around and Port Royal Golf Course is only 500 yards away.

T & L Golf Magazine

Whether you're dining in the Cedar Room or sipping a cocktail in the lounge while the sun sets over the water, the mood is set for romance. The sea is so close, it's almost like being on a cruise ship. After dinner, there is music for listening and dancing, or you can head out for a moon-lit stroll.

Travel Writer, Katherine Dyson, author of the book "The 100 Best Honeymoon Resorts of the World"

Perhaps the best thing about Pompano Beach Club are the Lambs themselves and the staff at the hotel, who personally make sure that you are well taken care of while you're staying at Pompano. Your every need will be met while you're there. That's how this cottage colony keeps its strong international rating and reputation, and that's why so many Pompano guests return again and again.

The Pompano Beach Club in Southampton, on Bermuda's southwest coast, is a comfortably casual property in a beautiful setting with a cliff-side pool and private beach. It was started in the 1950's by a gentleman from Waban, Mass. Throw in two, 24 hour hot tubs, boat rentals, golf and tennis, and there was really no reason to venture too far away.

Arthur Pollock, Boston Herald newspaper

Ideally located overlooking Bermuda's southwest coast, this hotel boasts a relaxed atmosphere and dramatic views of the ocean. The Pompano Beach Club has been family-owned and operated since 1956 when it first opened as a small fishing lodge. Today, the four-star resort provides a wealth of recreational activities. Golfers can tee off on the adjacent Port Royal Golf Course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. or three other courses within close proximity. For a picturesque retreat, check out the resort's own private beach, where you can enjoy sunbathing or snorkeling among the stunning coral reefs.

The Pompano Beach Club is a more casual family-run spot that has spectacular sunsets and sits right below the 8th green of the Port Royal Golf Course. The Boston-born Lamb brothers provide a personal touch and daily activities.

Travel & Leisure Golf Magazine

"The Pompano Beach Club, Bermuda's best full service casual resort hotel, is among my favorite island getaways in the world and has become my favorite place to stay in Bermuda." 

"Pompano is the perfect place to relax and enjoy what may very well be Bermuda's best value in both accommodations and cuisine." 

"Owner/Managers Larry and Tom Lamb have somehow managed to hire the nicest and friendliest staff imaginable, and have encouraged them to treat visitors with a special blend of true Bermudian charm, hospitality, and personalized service that can be found nowhere else." 

"The Cedar Room has become one of the island's best places to dine and is filled to the brim with the kind of welcoming, warm, and subtle ambiance that I rarely, if ever, see in Bermuda's more famous gourmet establishments - embellished by picture windows with beautiful sunset views over the sea, exposed beams of Bermuda cedar, and beautifully set tables. This superb seaside restaurant is a large part of the magic over at the Pompano Beach Club."
