Absolutely lovely hotel very close to the beach and with a fantastic service team! Very helpful and always willing to go above and beyond. I'm sorry I can't remember all your names, but a special mention to Troy at the front desk and the lady who both sang happy birthday to my daughter on our arrival! Also to Elisha(sp?) who waits tables and the very smiley chap with the twists. You made our stay memorable for all the right reasons - so thanks again. Read less

We’ve just returned from a 2 week stay at the Rockley and cannot rate it highly enough. The staff made us feel so welcome throughout the duration of our stay and they were all incredibly friendly, helpful, and always had a smile. The staff themselves made our stay memorable and thoroughly enjoyable. The hotel was spotless, comfortable, and well maintained throughout. Our room was very spacious and was kept immaculately clean. It is worth noting that the hotel is situated on a fairly busy and lively road. This wasn’t an issue for us at all - in fact, we enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere – but it’s good for future guests to be aware. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We would definitely recommend the Rockley to anyone visiting Barbados and wouldn’t hesitate to return ourselves. We’d like to thank you again for making it such a special stay! Read less

Love this place! Everything was perfect, from start to finish. Our room, the food, the staff, the pool and the location. Everywhere was super clean, a credit to all for keeping up such good standards. Had so much fun here. Lots of quiet time and relaxation, yet a good mix of entertainment too. Everything you need is on the doorstep and more besides. Bus stop outside with easy connections for trips and adventures. Breakfast was plentiful and a good selection of drinks at the bar. Loved the bar staff - I cried when left 🤣 Seriously! Honestly couldn’t fault it. The staff try so hard to make your stay memorable, and go out of their way to make you happy. We stayed on the fourth floor. Super comfy beds and a specious balcony. Washers and dryers on each floor: to do all your holiday washing before you go home. Plenty of cupboard and wardrobe space. Safe, iron, good fridge, tv and excellent WiFi coverage all throughout the hotel. Amazing memories made for us at The Rockley! I’ve thanked them all a hundred times for making our holiday special, and I’ll thank them again when I go back! Read less
