Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My husband and I passed one of the several entrances to Southlands our first day in Bermuda. The great, majestic Banyan trees towered the entrance. We walked the property several times on our vacation. The Banyan trees were like nothing we've ever seen before, a must see on your visit. There are amazing interwoven walking trails with thick foliage, bushes, and trees, crumbling old structures, tall limestone walls, old abandoned homes, and more. We came upon some resort brochures that made us so curious we looked it up online. It's an old quarry that was purchased and turned into a majestic estate with amazing gardens back in the 1700-1800s. Recently was purchased by some investors to turn the property into a resort but the locals protested to preserve the property. Once you walk the property, you'll understand the uniqueness of it. Such a preserved, natural site. Strangely, not in any of the Bermuda books we bought about the island.

We actually only saw the beach part of this park (I think its also known as Marley Beach), we ran out of time for the other side. This actually turned out to be my favorite beach. It was large but uncrowded, even on the weekend. The snorkeling was very nice here and we saw a lot of fish. The only detraction was someone in our group had their wallet stolen when they went swimming, but that is a possibility anywhere....watch your stuff. Horshoe beach is so crowded all the time....this was so much better than that!! I don't know that this is a very well known beach. Only reason we found it is because we were in the area looking for a geocache. The entrance is kind of low key without a ton of signs and obvious parking lot, like the other beaches. When you find it though....you will be glad you did!

I had heard about this abandoned estate that was turned into a park and I decided to explore it. I had lunch at the Swizzle Inn South shore and asked my hostess how to get there. Turns out it was only a 5 to 10 minute walk west on South Road. I came upon an entrance thick with Banyan tree branches and walked down a narrow path which eventually led me to an abandoned estate home which looked a bit eerie. Another path ambled up a hill behind the ruins and all I could hear were birds calling one another and a number of wild chickens scurrying for cover as I approached. After about a half hour hike I came back out to the road, crossed it and turned down a path that led me to Southlands beach or what the locals call Marley Beach. I had a nice refreshing swim after my little hike. Beautiful place off the beaten path so to speak. I highly recommend it before or after lunch at the Swizzle Inn.

Went to the Banyan tree part of Southlands. Crazily overgrown with lots of derelict buildings. Evidence of squatters in the Park. While walking by one building, someone said hello from inside an abandoned building. Not threatening in any way but kind of creeped me out. Would recommend it for those with teens or adults.
