Lovely hotel with friendly staff. Great location, 100 yards to the beach, reserved sunbeds, and umbrella. Close to local eateries and bars. With Bajan's love for saying hello with a beep from their cars, it can be a little noisy during rush hours, but it's a happy toot, not angry. Large rooms with double bedrooms, kitchenettes, large showers with double basins and lounge areas. Also, a balcony. More of an apartment than a room. Great breakfast, with more than enough choice. Egg chef will cook your egg to perfection (and sing to the background music while doing so), and the peanut butter is to die for! Will definitely stay again.

Loved our stay at the hotel. Quirky decor and very friendly staff. Rooms were big with a small kitchen and a spacious lounge area. Beach opposite with a lovely boardwalk that you could walk along. Taxis opposite and bus stop nearby. Plenty of places to eat at nearby, varying in cost.

This is definitely not a 4 star hotel for multiple reasons.
First, breakfast is of very poor quality. For our 5 day stay we ate there once never to return again. Coffee was disgusting.
Second, to get to the ocean you need to cross a busy road and then a parking lot with a bunch of local taxi drivers and just people loitering in that area -- drinking, smoking, etc.
Third, bar personnel is rude and dismissive.
The cherry on top was a 5-9:30 karaoke in their entertainment agenda. Hotel staff said it would finish at 9, but it just kept going. The sound is cranked up all the way and a bunch of drunk people shout for more than 4 hours and you can hear every word in your room. Most of the people signing are not from the hotel, as there is no security at all to get to the bar. We have complained about it multiple times, but nothing was done. I take it the bar sales are more important than the comfort of their guests.

Catfished by the photographer for this property.
This place looks amazing in the photos, but they must have been touched up afterwards as this place is nowhere near as luxurious.
First impressions there were goats in the lobby... Not living, but they let you know you're about to be staying in a room that has farm esque smells. The room has a musty odor throughout and the finish on the rooms is just not 4 star. There is a picture honoring said goat in the room.
The only redeeming factor is the beds are very comfortable.
If you are used to 4 star meaning luxury this is not it. Probably a good value, but you think it's going to be a great value until you arrive.

The art adorned on the walls (by local artistes), the Bajan colloquials carefully lovingly stitched on the cushions within their rooms, to the eccentric hotel reception and the superb service all round. Simply put: The Rockley is an island within the island of Barbados. Would I return? Yes. Highly recommendable.
