    vibrant bar
    cleanliness issues

    The vibrant bar atmosphere was a highlight, with fantastic craft beers on tap.

    The cleanliness of the unit left much to be desired, with unwashed utensils found in the drawer.

    shower pressure
    bed insect

    my stay at Rocks Hotel & Garden Bar was an absoluteley unforgettable disapointment. The shower pressure was more of a dribble than a shower and i found an insect in my bed. I expected a complimentary gesture for such inconveniences, woudl ve been nice! almost gave a good review but just couldn’t, obviously. Poor!

    short walk beach
    poor shower pressure
    dirty utensils

    The beach was just a short walk away.

    I was disappointed with the shower pressure, which was quite terrible during my stay. The room felt overpriced as it lacked proper cleaning and enough cutlery for two, making our dining options frustrating. there were unwashed utensils left in the drawer, which added to my dissatisfaction.

    friendly staff
    great location
    poor shower
    unclean utensils

    From skeptic to believer

    Super friendly staff created a warm atmosphere, and the location was ideally situated for beach walks and nearby attractions. The food was delightful, especially in the inviting garden bar setting.

    Unfortunately, the shower pressure was disappointing, and the utensils in the room needed attention, impacting the overall experience for a relaxing stay.

    garden area
    cozy breakfast
    fridge condition

    Had an awesome stay where I enjoyed the cozy garden area while my friend loved the cooked breakfast that was a good value. The sun terrace was perfect for soaking up some rays after a hike! Only downside was the fridge in our room could use some TLC, but overall, it was a lovely experience. 🌞

    pet friendly unit
    kitchenette facilities
    breakfast availability
    missing parking

    The Standard Studio was comfy with super cozy beds, and having a microwave and kitchenette was a nice touch. It was also pet friendly, which was perfect. The beach was just a short walk away, which I loved! The vibe in the restaurant/bar was great too. Only downside was that I didn't get breakfast at the time I needed.

    Convenient Location with Room for Improvement

    The cozy ambiance and friendly staff made our stay enjoyable. Enjoyed the unique craft beers on tap at the bar. please check room cleanliness thoroughly. Future guests should bring their own soap and consider dining options off-site for a better meal experience.
