Overall the hotel is really good, but, since the refurbishment there is a large tent structure which has been erected over the bar area. This impacts the view from rooms 212-214 so, if like me you like to sit on the balcony to watch the world go by this is not the place to be. They do a karaoke evening on a Sunday which can be a little rowdy also.… Read more
Overall the hotel is really good, but, since the refurbishment there is a large tent structure which has been erected over the bar area. This impacts the view from rooms 212-214 so, if like me you like to sit on the balcony to watch the world go by this is not the place to be. They do a karaoke evening on a Sunday which can be a little rowdy also. Troy's Tours is a must do as it is entertaining and informative so book at the desk early. There are washer dryers on every floor so you can keep your packing to a minimum. The beach and pool areas are always clean and the staff are very friendly. Breakfast was a little disappointing as some of the items in it were spicy and there was not a lot of variety either. The hotel is always clean and the cleaning staff are very good Read less

Superb experience: from the quality of rooms, to the service and the location. We had several rooms staying from one to two weeks. It was a relaxing stay very suitable for families. A lovely beach is a one minute stroll away. There are plenty of fabulous restaurants within walking distance, including food options, a coffee shop, a supermarket, and an ice cream shop also one minute away. Keep Friday night open for the Oistins Fish Fry experience. Highly recommended for a seamless experience. Read less

The Rockley Hotel is a very accommodating and friendly establishment. I visit regularly and find the staff responsive and warm. Dedreia, Antonia, and Troy are particularly noteworthy on my most recent visit. The hotel is located directly across the road from Rockley/Accra Beach and is situated within walking distance of restaurants, coffee shops, a grocery store, and strip malls. It is also a 10 minute drive from Oistins in one direction and Browns Beach in the other. If you visit the Rockley Hotel, you will enjoy the experience. Read less

We had an amazing experience during our stay at The Rockley. All of the hotel staff we met/engaged with were friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and the bar service was excellent. Our room was beautiful and was very well maintained during our stay. We would definitely recommend staying at The Rockley… you won’t regret it!

We had an excellent stay at The Rockley! The management, front desk, and housekeeping staff was very kind, always willing to help and offer a smile. Troy, Terina, and Zion always took time to assist us with recommendations, and even arranged taxis for us. Meantime the decor is a perfect mix of creative and authentic - not fancy or pretentious - rather colourful, welcoming, and artistic. From the moment you pull up to the entrance, the space is welcoming, with a gorgeous pool area to one side and the lounging food and drink area to the other. The kitchen is tucked away behind this area, with a spacious indoor breakfast dining area in front, complete with air-conditioning and a restroom that you can use at any time of day. Let's go inside now up to the room. The junior suite is extremely spacious for two people and would even be so for four (the couch is a pullout). It had a small but fully-equipped kitchen - minus an oven of course - a full bathroom with a raincoast shower (no tub) and a wonderful balcony with beachy ocean views and city sights to the left and right. It had a table and chairs outside, and another set inside, near the couch and spacious sitting area. There were plenty drawers, cupboards, and hangers for clothes, a large TV, a fan, and air conditioning. This room literally had everything, plus the decor was as cheerful as the lobby. The same pretty much goes for amenities at The Rockley. They have a fast, but small, elevator, tokens for beach loungers (umbrella included), fresh beach towels always available (no extra cost), and at least one set of laundry machines on every floor. Did I mention it is free to use? The bar has a decent menu for drinks and food, the food was pretty good, and there are specials at happy hour from 6-7pm each day. Some days they have posted events like a cocktail party with complimentary hors d'oevres, karaoke, and other activities that I can't recall. Probably because we didn't spend much time there. But it was good to know it was available, and great that we could get ice from them too. So, what is missing you might ask? Not much really! If I had to provide honest feedback, I'd say the food and beverage department shows some signs of "tourist fatigue” in the outdoor area (not the breakfast crew). I do appreciate their slower pace, but they just didn't seem quite as happy as the other staff for some reason. More than than one time, I felt like I - and others around us - were "bothering" them. And I'm a pretty cheery and hospitable person. Nonetheless, we still had some great interactions. As for the food, the lunch and dinner offerings were pretty decent. Drinks were good, too, but if the menu says “fresh lime,” I don’t expect cordial. Meantime, it is really convenient to have breakfast included, so I’m super thankful for that, but it would have been nice to see more fresh fruit and vegetables available, aside from a few melon wedges. The option to order plain eggs instead of scrambled was a thoughtful touch, however the daily donut-hole fritters were a "no" for me, and the coffee was not great, including the espresso-based options available for purchase. The breakfast service, however, was exceptional. So, really, there’s just a tiny bit of room for improvement, but the whole experience was wonderful overall! Read less
