What are the pros and cons of living in Bermuda?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Bermuda responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Bermuda appreciate the island's stunning natural beauty, with its white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and lush tropical vegetation. They also enjoy the laid-back atmosphere and the friendly locals. Additionally, Bermuda is a great place to work remotely, with reliable internet access and a variety of coworking spaces. On the downside, the cost of living in Bermuda is quite high, and the island is quite small, so there are limited entertainment and leisure options," explained one expat living in Bermuda.

"Bermuda is a beautiful Island, its paradise. Blue water, long summer days with lot's of parties and entertainment. The locals and residents are generally friendly. It is clean and the systems generally work. The biggest downside of Bermuda is the cost of living. It is a very expensive country. Accommodation and food form the largest cost. Private schools are not cheap either," said one in Hamilton.
