Relaxing stay

Very polite and professional front desk staff. Excellent food and service in the restaurant. Friendly, helpful fellow working at the kayak centre.
Carrie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rockwater Resort was the perfect place to rest and relax. The pool was perfect with great lounge chairs to enjoy the sun. The boardwalk to the tent cabins was a nice way to see different views of the gorgeous ocean and islands surrounding the resort. The TuBird Restaurant onsite had delicious food for all meals. We went for some walks on the many different trails a short drive away. If we had more time we could have kayaked, paddle boarded, ate smores, and played lawn games. I will definitely come back again.
Wendy, 4-night trip

JP, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room is dated and wasn't very clean. Uncomfortable furniture and beds. No hangers or dresser to put clothes away. Restaurant closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Food is mediocre. Breakfast was super greasy. Staff was great and so was the view. Quiet facility and didn't seem crowded, despite being fully booked.
