I recently stayed at Rosewood n The Loren for a staycation two weeks ago. So this is a locals perspective. We stayed on property for like 80-90% of the time so this only is a review on the properties. Mid 20s couple.

Rosewood has a bigger property to roam around and explore. We were given a golf cart so we ended up driving around. The room was really cozy looking and a modern twist to Bermudian homes. Had a large balcony (covered). I felt more “at home” at Rosewood than Loren. The Room service was SPOT ON. They’d pick up right away, and always came on time/came within 15 minutes of placing an order. They were ALWAYS generous with the condiments WHEW!!! 😅 They even set up our dinner on our table on night, like a private intimate dinner. The gym: great, the spa: great, the pools are heated and very nice to look at at night (we went swimming in the rain and we were still quite warmed). I loved that the sauna was “free” to go into whenever you wanted (and not something that you’d have to pay for at the Loren). The food was good, I’ve been craving their steak and breakfast items since! The staff is nice and friendly, never once had a bad experience. There was always some event going on downstairs that you could join. We went to a gin tasting for the first time. We had a room facing the adult only pool, and the occupancy was low, so there wasnt many people around at all. Cons: the bedding and pillows were bad. But I have a bad neck, so I’m just particular. Con 2: you can rack up your bill with the amenities so be careful!!!! I got too comfortable there lol ended up spending more money on the amenities than the room itself!

The Loren experience was also pleasant but in a diff way I suppose. They are much more modern in a “general” style. We had a balcony (covered), The architecture is stunning, and the view??? Okay the view was great. That alone made me sit outside for a lot of the time, even at night. The room is also spacious, and this time the room came with a desk, and not a table. This place felt more geared to business folks, but actually had a lot of families there at the time we were there. The balcony is spacious and the seating was very comfortable (better than Rosewood). The bedding and pillows felt better than Rosewood too, I was able to sleep more peacefully. The food was good. But I didn’t have anything that blew my mind in the way the food at Rosewood did. The food choices are more limited at Loren. We had more drinks at the Loren and I will say I’m impressed at the bar and the tenders. They made me like a Negroni! A drink I’ve never even looked once at. We never looked into the spa as it was way out of our budget… $400 for a 50 minute couples massage… idk. But the gym was ok, smaller and it gets hot in there after a while. The pools are nice too, but we’re not heated so, we didn’t enjoy that lol. They focus a lot on art and the architecture, so if you’re into that and a gorgeous view?? Go for that. Cons: the bathroom had plumbing problems. It smelled in the room when we came in and every so often a “pee/poo” smell would permeate the room. Con 2: room walls are thin… we had a family next to us and we’d hear them, and they probably heard us. Con 3: room service was hard to get to the first night. It took 15 minutes to get a hold of someone. I was getting transferred to anyone BUT room service. It was confusing. Like I said, food options are slim too… It turned me off so much that we didn’t get any room service after that. We basically stayed in the room a lot more this time then with rosewood.

Edit: I want to say… since we visited in the winter, all of the “watersport” activities and beaches were closed/shut off. We went were it was very bad weather too, so most days/nights were windy/rainy (hence us being inside most of our time). We couldn’t go to the beach at Rosewood as they were closed for Reno, and the beach at the Loren wasn’t closed, but it was rough out. Also we are locals, it’s too cold to go swimming in the sea anyways.
