Designed in bold, fresh, and locally inspired décor plus a splash of local artwork, all suites are supremely comfortable with gorgeous king-size beds, furnished balconies and kitchen facilities – adding that extra bit of convenience and helping you feel right at home. 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.

    Fabulous hotel, don’t let the location being across the road from the beach put you off it really is not a problem and the beach is my favourite on the island! The rooms are very comfortable with good air conditioning. The hotel is very clean. Breakfast quality is good.

    We had a lovely stay at the Rockley, the staff are very helpful and friendly. The location is great restaurants (we would recommend Salt and Tapas). Very safe area. Beach is across a busy road and the hotel gives you vouchers for sunbeds. The beach is great, we preferred it to Carlisle Bay. We went to the horse racing at Garrison Savannah which is just down the road and we got up early to see the racehorses go for a swim at pebbles beach. The only downside for us was that we were on the end of the building overlooking a chefette restaurant and we quite often had a smell of fast food. Read less

    This is an excellent base for a Barbados holiday, especially if travelling alone. The small and friendly nature of the hotel was ideal for me as it was nice to get to know the staff and fir them to recognise me. All rooms face onto the pool and the bathroom products were of a good quality. Can't fault this hotel - I'm sure I will be back.

    Highly recommend booking your holiday at The Rockley if you want a great location and a quality hotel. The rooms are lovely and the staff are great. Breakfast is buffet style and is really good with a variety of options that change daily. The pool and bar area are a good place to relax or complimentary beds are available on the beach if you prefer a day with sea and sand. Perfect location with plenty of options for food and drink in the immediate vicinity and access to transport if you want to venture further. Read less
