Following a trip to the Caribbean we found ourselves with one night stay in Barbados to fly home and stayed at the Rockley. We had stayed in some beautiful well known resorts/hotels during our stay and hadn’t thought too much about our one night in the rockley! It’s was wonderful, some of the nicest friendliest staff we had met during our 2 weeks in Barbados and Antigua. The room was spacious with a very large comfy bed and good air con. We had a lounge area and a small kitchen area. The breakfast was a little of everything you could want with a great made to order omelette with the friendliest chef! We also had a dip in the pool which was extremely clean and a good temp! We had lunch before we left which was gorgeous, the king burger I think it was called was to die for!! We are returning to the island in the next few years and plan to move around the island more, we will definitely do a few days here whilst in the area, the beach across the the road, the boardwalk and the activities set this place apart. Special shout out to Troy who is a wonderful gent! Read less
