Lantana Colony Club on Sandys' Parish overlooking Great Sound was our home for the week. A former onion plantation it became a gracious resort with attractive cottages, rose gardens, a croquet court and a private beach. The Club operated from 1958 until 1998. Luncheons and dinners were served both indoors and outdoors.

Shortly after our arrival for a holiday in beautiful subtropical Bermuda we were off to begin sightseeing.

The subtropical climate accounts for the abundance of vibrant flowers seen throughout Bermuda.
