Rockley Paradise
There are not enough words to say how much i recommend a stay at the Rockley Barbados.
The location is stunning across the road from Rockley beach in which you can access free sun beds. There are restaurants and also a mini mart near by with taxis and buses on the doorstep.
Check-in was seamless. You do have to pay a security charge for a damages so be aware of that and the tourist tax when you leave. You are offered a cold towel to refresh you and of course a rum punch.
The hotel is spotless and our apartment was cleaned daily. The amenities were spot on with everything we needed to eat in a few nights in the week. The bed was comfortable and we had a view overlooking the pool which was gorgeous to wake up to.
We were bed and breakfast for our stay which we enjoyed every morning: the food being plentiful, tasty and changes daily with new bajan treats to try.
The staff are fantastic. They are so welcoming and friendly and were the highlight of an amazing stay. Shout out to Troy, Tia, Seth, Tyrique and Raihem who made sure we had the best stay ever.
The pool area was clean with no fight needed for sun loungers and staff checked on you throughout the day. Lots of friendships were made here. A nice peaceful vibe.
All in all we had the most incredible stay ever here and would always return no question

Great hotel for a couple weeks
This is a lovely small hotel with a fantastic staff team. Definitely as described and very well placed for walking to local amenities such as chefette (next door) and small shopping areas/take outs (to the right as you leave the hotel). The room was great, really big with a lovely seating area and a small corridor kitchenette with a kettle, toaster, microwave, fridge/freezer hob and sink plus basic cookware, plates, glasses, cutlery. The pool is nice to dip in, but not really suitable for getting 20 lengths in each day. The lounge was very quiet in October and we enjoyed using the dual pool/table tennis set and boardgames. Very friendly and helpful vibe, other guests were quiet and friendly. There were a couple of things like a kitchen cupboard was a little wobbly and the safe was temperamental but nothing we couldn’t overlook as the overall experience was fantastic. The set up for the beach was straightforward - collect towels and tickets at the desk and then walk over and pass them to someone on the beach (named each time) where there was also a lifeguard every time we went. Would definitely recommend to people wanting to try the hotel. Vegan food - breakfast had toast but butter (and jam) so would have had to ask for an alternative spread. Porridge and cereal but no obvious alternative milk - again you could ask. Fruit was available every day - three types of melon and one additional fruit e.g. grapes. Laundry - washers and dryers are at the end of each corridor of rooms - cycle took about 45 mins to wash. No laundry products supplied so pick up in the local mini market for example.

Lovely hotel
We stayed 3 nights here September 23-26th. The location was lovely. We enjoyed being walking distance to various stores and restaurants. We walked the Richard Haynes boardwalk every morning, beautiful views. The beach was great location across the street from hotel and having beach chairs and umbrellas included was nice touch. Our room was clean, great space and nice to have a mini kitchen space. We thought breakfast buffet was a good variety. Drinks from the bar were great. We would stay here again!

We loved it!
Wonderful hotel with lovely staff in a great location. Our room was comfortable, spacious and clean. The swimming pool is small, but nice and the beautiful beach is just across the road. The food and cocktails were delicious and the staff so friendly and helpful. We went on the Island tour with Troy which was brilliant and Troy was very knowledgeable. We also hired a car through the hotel so we could explore the island more. The Manager’s cocktail evening and the karaoke evening was great fun! This is a smaller hotel but this is what makes it so special and we loved it!
'Fun Everyday'
We had a wonderful time at The Rockley. All the staff are lovely, and I love that the management come out and meet the guests and introduce themselves and make sure you are all having a good time. Special shout out to Troy, who is such a lovely man and great with the entertainment on 'fun Friday'. And Barmen extraordinaires Seth and Tyrique for just being so much fun and making great cocktails! The hotel has a lift (so handy in the heat) and each floor has 2 washers and tumble drivers, just bring your own washing liquid! Plenty of places to eat within walking distance. We just have to start saving now to come back and visit. Thankyou Rockley for a great time!!!
