Excellent location, staff siper helpful and very friendly. Very polished snd professional service, I'll be going back for sure. Great breakfast options snd over the 12 days didn't have the same options twice. Very clean and welcoming. I couldn't have asked for more. Forgot to mention in my feedback to the hotel that one suggestion could be to have something specific for any solo travellers to meet other solos or guests. That may be something to consider as I didn't notice anyone else travelling alone but there may have been. Read less

Great location, clean hotel and breakfast included was a bonus. Easy links via zr bus to The Gap, Worthing square, Oistins etc. good restaurants within 15 minutes walking distance, mini market just round the corner from the hotel (pizza, pasta, ice cream, souvenir shop, electronic shop, mini market etc). Beach was just across the road which was not a problem. I would definitely recommend The Rockley hotel as a base for exploring the island and would stop there again. Read less

I loved my stay here! The location is top-notch, the rooms are large and the kitchen is a BIG plus. Staff were all incredible and lots of nice touches like a welcome drink and cold towel on arrival, laundry machines on each floor, and the complimentary daily beach chair at the beach across the street. Highly recommend!

Stayed at the Rockley for a week in July. Family of 4 with 2 teenagers. We booked 2 linked rooms which gave us excellent space, all the beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms and kitchenettes excellent and well stocked. Hotel is well located, the beach is over the road with complementary beds and umbrellas for guests which was great. We had a hire car which we parked either in front of the hotel or over the road with no issues. The included breakfast is great. You must try the tikki bar on the beach, a great place to enjoy an evening. Read less
