Nights are lively too with evening entertainment at the new bar offering a trendy beach club vibe.

We were greeted by super friendly staff who gave us all the information we needed along with a cold beverage. We were so thankful for this after 24 hours of travel! Our room was so bright and clean and the AC felt amazing. We also loved our little deck area! The location is perfect and having the beach right across the street along with a beautiful and clean pool was fabulous! The gym was small but clean and had everything you’d need for a vacation workout. They had the AC going and cold water for us each morning. The bar staff made super yummy drinks and were so friendly. The breakfast was delicious and we saved so much money not needing to eat out for breakfast. We went to the local Massey store and got some groceries so that we would be able to make most meals in the kitchenette in our room. We loved having that as an option. The boardwalk currently has quite a bit of sand but still a lovely walk and so beautiful. With the help of the front desk staff we used the public transit to get around the island with no issues at all and found the local people to be so kind and helpful also. The beach is absolutely beautiful and the staff on the beach were so friendly and kind too. This vacation was absolutely amazing and we would go back in a heart beat! Thanks to all the amazing staff who contributed to us having such an amazing time! Read less

We stayed here after a week cruise. All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is outstanding and I will forever be grateful for their “genuine kindness!” The rooms are spacious, clean and equipped with everything you may need. Located just a stones throw away from the beautiful sandy beach, where you can make full use of the sun beds and umbrellas (when given a token at the hotel reception). Plenty of choice at the breakfast buffet and a great selection of drinks at the bar. They also have a bar menu if you’re feeling peckish. Should you wish to travel, you can find taxis and plenty of busses just outside the hotel (the busses are a fun experience) There are plenty of restaurants, take aways, bars and shops within walking distance. Should it be required, there’s a very helpful pharmacist just a minute or two walk away from the hotel. All in all, this is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in, with the best staff. I will return one day and bring my daughters too. Thank you to all at The Rockley Hotel. Read less

The suite had everything you needed. The bed was huge and very comfortable. We loved the fact you could walk across the road to a beautiful beach. It would have been great if you served evening meals, followed by entertainment.
