South Beach Hotel

Great location, very near excellent restaurants and amenities. The beach opposite is one of the best on Barbados. Sun beds and an umbrella are included. Breakfast is varied and delicious, a wonderful start to the day. Troy’s tour is a must, he’s a fountain of information regarding the island, a lunch a rum punch are all included, all in all a perfect day out. What makes this place really special are the staff, a massive thank you to all of them for making our holiday extra special.

A lovely hotel on the south coast of Barcelona. Very comfortable, with spacious rooms and good buffet breakfast. Daytime and evening meals are also available in the outside well stocked bar. The staff are all very polite, helpful and friendly like most locals. A very consistent place to explore the whole island, with the sandy beach and azure sea just a short walk and the famous ZR busses outside the front door. The local and surrounding areas have plenty of shops and good places to eat and drink. This was our second time at The Rockley, we wouldn't stop anywhere else.

The Rocky is in an excellent location with very good free beach arrangements. The swimming pool is small and poor for swimming but the sea is close by. There are numerous very good restaurants within walking distance, the beach is lovely and buses run to Oustins and Bridgetown. It's a good location for a mixture of beach and exploring by bus. The staff are welcoming, friendly and professional. The room we had was superb, on the top floor overlooking the road to the beach and the sea. It had a nice verandah. There were always free-of-charge sunbeds available at the beach and by the pool. The breakfast buffet was limited but they cook great eggs to order. We found the dinner poor and pricey - better options are just a short walk away.

We stayed for two nights prior to a cruise. Lovely warm welcome where I had my first rum punch ever - and brownie points for offering a non alcoholic fruit punch option which The Husband enjoyed. Non drinkers are so often ignored. The hotel kindly gave us an upgrade from a Junior to a one -bedroom suite which was spacious with a beautiful living area and balcony. Not quite so keen on the bedroom which was at the back of the building and felt a bit confined. We enjoyed our stay. The hotel is in a brilliant location, within walking distance of shops and restaurants and, of course, the beach which is pretty much straight over the road. Hotel guests get complimentary sunbeds on the beach. Breakfast was slightly chaotic with items on the self serve buffet running out but there was a decent choice and the staff were lovely. We ate outside, beside the pool. The one thing I would criticise is the standard of orange juice. Not good! We had a lazy couple of days and thoroughly appreciated the fact that we could use a hospitality room to shower and change before leaving for our ship. I recommend the PickUP Barbados app. We didn't eat dinner at the hotel but the menu looked good and there seemed a nice atmosphere at the bar.

At the beginning of our holiday everything was good ,then when we ordered food at the pool there seemed to be misunderstanding not always getting the order right.our room service started of well then I had more than one occasion to request a toilet roll no replacement tea towel left and on the last day only one bath towel left.
