Hotels are generally of a high standard. Resort hotels offer a range of facilities and usually have their own beach and pool(s). Hotels offer a choice of meal plans. The Bermuda Department of Tourism provides an online accommodation guide (website: www.bermudatourism.com). Reduced rates are available during the Golf and Spa, or 'low' season, which runs from November to March, and there are many special package tours for special interest holidays. A government tax, called Hotel Occupancy Tax, of 7.25% is added to hotel bills on check-out, and a service or gratuity charge (10-15%) is also added to the final bill.
