This comes and goes, but it looks like it's $352 in March - May on United, Seattle to Bermuda. And it's 360+ all other times. Good vacation fare. $.055 pm
Separate deal but SEA - SJU is $410 on UA, AA, US, with similar time.

I flew a DL version of this last year. Beware that in BDA, there are very few hotels (and the ones that are there are very expensive). Many last time got burned by booking first before planning accommodations.
It's a wonderful place and my group had a great time in our rental house, but know what you're getting into before jumping on this fare

yeah, watch out for hotel/lodging costs there. There was a decent fare there last year on AA that I was tempted by but the hotel costs made it way too pricey for a MR and it didn't have that much interest as an overpriced (to me) mileage/vacation jog.

8 nights, 3 adults + 2 kids.....2 rooms
Invited sister in law, so 2 rooms are needed. Still praying for AA for a schedule change for our June trip so we can cancel with full credit. It is not looking good, time to search affordable lodging on the island... I am really kicking myself for jumping on this deal.....

I stayed at the Fairmont Princess, which was a great property...I would try to use AMEX points (if you have them) to get rooms there. But it will still cost you...
Would be nice to see the $178 EWR-BDA Delta fare come back--that was great.

Quite honestly, if you don't get a schedule change by June I would just cancel the trip and eat the change fee.

CRAZY Routing on UNITED to Bermuda
Really. Promise. I just checked the routing for Bermuda from Denver...Here goes... Denver to Seattle to Chicago to Bermuda. Incredible. And this was for a fare ticket not award. Are they absolutely ever-loving crazy. Who programmed the computer? I know at the beginning of the merger one couldn't go anywhere from Denver without going through Houston... all the old Continental flights were weighted higher in the scheme. All the reps knew how crazy. But this is unbelievable. Going to the Pacific Ocean to go to the Atlantic.

That is an amazing price. Make sure to check taxes. If they're not too much extra, I'd definitely book it. There are also some nice guest houses that you may have to poke around a bit for, but will be cheaper than a hotel. You can save a lot of money in Bermuda by buying groceries rather than eating out.
