The Rock House Hotel

Ideal location near harbor, shops, and beach. Comfortable, spacious rooms with stunning views. Exceptional, friendly service creates a warm experience.

We stayed at Rock House for 5 nights. We are a very well traveled middle age couple and found this resort to be a 3 star, at best, resort. The resort is a short walk from ferry terminal, but up a very steep flight of stairs. Thankfully, we rented a golf cart on our own after reading reviews of Harbor Island. The resort, while close, is not near the beach. It's a short ride or very long walk away. Unfortunately, while we were there the Atlantic was very rough and not safe to swim. I made all my dinner reservations on my own prior to our arrival. By oversight I had forgotten a dinner reservation for one evening and trying to get a reservation at the resort's restaurant was not easy and had to take a 5:30. I wish they had requested you make all reservations beforehand or mention guests do not have preferential dinner time reservations. It would be nice to have some overview how this works. The dinners were very good and our waiters were always friendly and pleasant. During breakfast there was only one woman working and she was hustling to have the continental breakfast/coffee counter filled and take/serve seated customer's orders. Our breakfast took forever so we preferred the marina restaurant down the road. The pool closes at 5 to set up for dinner so we were disappointed about not having anywhere to hang out after the beach. The cabana by your room is overrun with mosquitos. The bartenders, in the evening, were the best employees we encountered. Very friendly and made the best drinks. We ventured off property to several properties. We really enjoyed Coral Sands and their beach bar during the days. Rock House has live music one night of the week and we really enjoyed that evening. The female singer was great. I wish they had had entertainment more than one evening. Some of the employees looked annoyed when we tried to get directions to several places on the island. Maybe a printed map of the island would help alleviate that problem. Having travelled the entire Caribbean we have experienced so many other properties worthy of this price point on other islands.

Great hospitality. We used to come as a couple before having kids and now we brought our two sons (new owners now allow kids) and we all enjoyed the hospitality. It's a short golf cart ride from the beach and you have great views from the lobby of the harbor.
