We stayed at The Rockley following a weeks cruise. What a great little hotel it is. The beach is just across the road, the hotel will give you a voucher and towels. Great little Bajan food huts/ outlets on the beach. All the staff were very personable and we felt very welcomed. I loved our room, it was clean and spacious with partial sea views. It was cleaned daily too. Even though the hotel is on a main road please don’t be put off by this. We slept so well and didn’t have a problem at all. You definitely get used to the horns beeping, but this is part of Barbados life! There was enough choice for breakfast and we loved sitting outside. Lots of great restaurants near by, our favourite was Champers and Naru. We had pasta night at the hotel too which was lovely. The boardwalk is on your doorstep, lots of nice bars along the route too. Thank you The Rockley for a lovely stay, I’m sure we’ll be back one day! Read less

From the moment you walk into reception until the end of your visit you are treated with a smile, nothing is too much for any of the staff to assist or help you in any way. You’re made to feel like family. A very big thank you to everyone and everything at The Rockley. Can’t wait to return x Read less

We arrived late, there was no food or near the hotel, no room service, the room was not perfectly clean but it was okay. I really liked the location as it`s close to the beach and ability to use sunbeds. Breakfast was edible. Not the worst hotel but really nothing special.

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.
