Want to say a big thank you to Dedreia, Troy, Kim Charles, Shonta and Ingrid for looking after us and making us feel welcome. The hotel was fabulous and a two min walk to the beach was perfect. The heat was a bit much for us but we had a fabulous time exploring the island. We recommend staying here and will return again one day 🥰 fond memories

We used The Rockley for our first week in Barbados. We wanted a good hotel as a base as we explored the island by car.

We used The Rockley for our first week in Barbados. We wanted a good hotel as a base as we explored the island by car. The hotel is clean with well equipped rooms with fridge, cooker, microwave etc. The rooms were large and comfy with a nice lounge area and balcony. The feel is of a boutique hotel and the colourings and decor fit really well. The staff were brilliant and helpful. Breakfast was fairly standard buffet items with subtle changes each day to the ingredients, keeping it interesting, and you could sit outside in the bar area, which was pleasant. The hotel is well located with numerous good quality restaurants within easy walking distance (Tapas / Champers). This makes a great place as a base to explore Barbados. The beach opposite is good, and the hotel has cards that can be used to get sun loungers and parasol for free. The bar prices were reasonable, and with one of the happy hours 7-8pm ideal place to grab a drink prior to going out to dinner. All in all, a great place to stay, with great staff and in a good location. Now on to their sister hotel (Sea Breeze) for a week of all inclusive doing nothing! Read less

Friendliest staff in Barbados. Modern but still in keeping with true Barbados, close to the beach and smack bang in the middle of where you want to be. Easy reach if worthing food court, st Lawrence Gap, pebbles beach. 3rd time in 3 years cheapest but best for overall value.
