The property is beautiful. Unfortunately, there was a large wedding occurring at the same time I was there so the resort was busier than usual and I felt I didn't get the same service that I'd been used to on vacations past. There were disruptions to the stay due to the wedding including the main restaurant on site being close for the afternoon/evening so we had to leave to get food. When we came back, there was very little parking so we had to park quite far away from our suite. As well, the wedding was extremely loud and went on from about 3-10pm with lots of hooting, hollering and loud music. I'm not opposed to a party - but this wasn't what I expected since Rockwater has always advertised itself as a place of peace and tranquility. I would have loved being informed at the time of booking so that I could have decided if I wanted to spend my Sunday night amidst the revellers. There were some maintenance issues in the tenthouse itself which we informed the staff about - just wear and tear but it was impacting certain aspects of the stay and forcing us to improvise which I didn't expect from a 5-star resort. I also didn't expect coffee mate with my morning coffee so be prepared to bring your own cream if you prefer the real thing! The setting IS beautiful and the amenities are lovely. Great pool and pool deck, great ocean swimming with a floating dock in a beautiful little cove. Management offered a one night stay at a later date as recompense for the inconvenience.

This is a hidden gem, incredibly great stay, staff were so friendly and accommodating, especially Zayn at reception. The pool and rooms were clean and the grounds were lovely to walk around, especially the ‘boardwalk’. A lot of effort has gone in to updating an older property, we will stay here again.

Staff were great, and the area is beautiful. Some things were a little dated, but well maintained. The only downer of the trip was the weather, but obviously that's not the hotel's fault. We'd happily stay again.

Pros: Absolutely beautiful setting. Boardwalk is all lit up and rheres lots of areas to explore plus the kayaking. Pool was the perfect size and the pool area balcony looks out into a one of a kind backdrop. Staff are super friendly and accommodating Cons: parking is next to non existant, especially for a truck. The rooms are outdated and the room we were in had a window that did not open and no air flow plus no AC. Restaurant was mediocre at best. Waited an hour for bacon and eggs that were average and overpriced. Canceled Dinner and went into town cause if they screwed up eggs, i wasnt gonna trust em with steak. Front desk closed early and wasnt open at 730am when we needed to check out.

The place is beautiful and quiet. Recommend using the wheelbarrow they have to get to your tent. It's quite the hike. And make sure to bring food just in case the kitchen closes down so nice there aren't many options in the area. Quiet areas to walk around and enjoy the scenery.
