Top 5 Instagram Worthy Spots in Bermuda

Hey everyone, today I’m sharing my Hamilton Princess travel review with you along with the top 5 Instagram worthy spots in Bermuda. For those of you who are new to Haute Off The Rack, this was actually my second trip to Bermuda. I traveled there by boat from New Jersey three years ago with some of my blogger friends and it was so beautiful that I promised myself I would return one day… just not by boat! LOL

Cruising through the Atlantic ocean is a bit of a rocky ride so this time I flew, which was a much more pleasant experience. The travel time isn’t bad at all. We flew one hour to Atlanta from Louisiana and then 2.5 hours to Bermuda. We stayed at the Hamilton Princess Resort, which is on the bay right in the heart of town, but we still had access to their Beach Club.

Top 5 Instagram Worthy Spots in Bermuda

1) The Boat Dock at Hamilton Princess | This is the perfect place to watch the sunset before heading to dinner at Marcus. By the way, you must order the cornbread appetizer! It’s to die for! The Chicken & Waffles is also super delicious too.

2) Flatt’s Village | I just can’t help myself when it comes to colorful buildings along the water so we of course had to make a stop at Flatt’s village near the aquarium to explore. We even ended up seeing a wild sea turtle, which so cool because it’s a sign of good luck. Because of their long lifespan, sea turtles often symbolize patience, wisdom, endurance, and good luck. Blake and I actually saw a giant sea turtle on the beach the day after our wedding so I definitely believe in the symbolism.

3) Pose on Pink | One of the best parts about the Hamilton Princess Bermuda other than their amazing food and service is the fact that the hotel is pink. And you know I can’t resist snapping a photo of my outfit in front of a pink wall.

4) Jobson’s Cove | This was the first spot I visited when I arrived in Bermuda. It’s the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen in my entire life with magical pink sand and the most shade of turquoise water. I highly recommend watching the sunset here. In fact, we stopped here twice during our trip to watch the sun go down.

Palm Beach Travel Guide

August 8, 2018

Hey everyone, as promised I’m sharing my Palm Beach travel guide with you today. I actually visited Palm Beach in 2017 and loved it so much that I promised myself I would return again. Last time I stayed at the Brazilian Court Hotel, which you can see here—>Palm Beach Travel Review

This past visit, I stayed at The Colony Hotel and it was the most darling hotel with palm print wall paper that lined the hallways and the cutest retro pool area with striped umbrellas. I also love that it’s just around the corner from the beach and Worth Avenue so we were able to walk or bike almost everywhere with the exception of visited West Palm Beach.

Things to do:

Shop till you drop! | While I would love to blow all of my money shopping on Worth Avenue, I decided to do some window shopping instead and then took an uber over to Garden’s Mall for a wider variety of stores. That mall has practically every store you could wish for that we don’t have back at home in Louisiana.

Get a massage at Kaffe’s Garden Spa | I got the Pink Himalayan Salt Foot Soak followed by a pink salt stone massage and it was by far the best massage I have ever gotten. The warm stones make such huge difference in the overall experience.

Rent some cruisers | The Colony Hotel offers their guests complimentary bike rentals!

Downtown West Palm Beach Food Tour | We loved walking around downtown West Palm Beach and getting a little history while hitting up some of the most delicious restaurants in town. My favorite spot was probably The Blind Monk and Canache Bakery Cafe. Their key lime pies were amazing.

Where to snack & dine:

Loic Bakery | Be sure to order the pistachio and raspberry croissants. Those were my faves and they’re freshly baked in house!

Pizza Girls | If you’re in the mood for some authentic Brooklyn style pizza, this place comes highly recommended! You can even order by the slice if you’re just looking for a snack. I loved the Veggie pizza!

Grease Burger Bar

The Restaurant | We ate at “The Restaurant” at the Colony Hotel for breakfast, lunch and dinner our stay and every meal was even more delicious than the last. I especially enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros I also love that the fact that they have live music during dinner.

Ta-Boo | Stop for lunch at Ta-Boo in between window shopping on Worth Avenue. We ordered the nachos, fish tacos and fries. Window shopping can be quite exhausting! 😉

Pizza al Fresco | I learned about this place during my first visit to Palm Beach and we liked it so much that we actually ate here twice during this past trip. I highly recommend the Messicana pizza. This is perfect place to dine outside because they have the cutest outdoor courtyard complete with café lights and umbrella covered tables.

Sant Ambroeus | I had lunch with Beth from Palm Beach Lately here last year and I love colorful and quaint it was. You must try their flowerless chocolate cake with gelato.

Buccan | I ate at Buccan last year when I visited and it was my favorite restaurant in PBI right next Imoto. Oh and it’s “literally” located right next to Imoto, but I’ll tell you about that place in a minute! I don’t know about you, but anytime I see fresh tuna on a menu, I order it. So we started off with the tuna crisps and squash blossoms and then followed that with some short rib empanadas. As much as we wanted to order more dishes, our appetites just wouldn’t allow it so we settled for some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and espresso!

Imoto | This is another restaurant repeat for me because we ate here last time I visited, but it was so good that I had to go back. You must order the tuna appetizer and the banana beignets for dessert!
