When you want to take it easy you can just relax by the pool or chill out on your complimentary lounger on the amazing Rockley beach which is just across the road from the hotel. If you’re feeling active, you’re in luck, there’s plenty to keep you busy in the Play Space with table tennis, pool table and darts. Nights are lively too with evening entertainment at the new bar offering a trendy beach club vibe.

What a lovely hotel, our room was spotless and decorated fresh and modern. House keeping team always made the bed look lovely and left fresh towels every day and emptied bins. Breakfast had a good selection of food but not overwhelming like most hotels, fresh and tasty every morning. Pool bar did delicious cocktails! Swimming pool area was always clean, we didn’t use the pool as we love the beach but it was never over crowded when we walked past (the beach directly over the road was amazing with beautiful white sand and crystal clear water). Washing machines and tumble dryers on each level to use when ever you like (just bring your own powder and softener). When you depart from your room you have access to a lovely AC lounge and it includes a tv, bored games, books, pool table and shower/dressing room. I would personally give this hotel a 9/10 and my only down mark would be the road out the front can get very busy saying that you can not hear traffic when sleeping and most drivers will let you cross as people have lovely manners in Barbados. Lastly I want to give a massive thank you to Dedreia and Troy behind reception. They are absolutely fantastic they go above and beyond for all guests and will always give advice and recommendations. Not forgetting all the staff and housekeeping team everyone is so polite and friendly. Many thanks again, Amy & Steve 🫶🏼 Read less
