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.

I loved the concept. I loved the stay. But rooms could be cleaner. The ceiling had spiderwebs. There restaurant is closed so nothing is nearby. You have to drive 20 mins. Small snack options and a small menu should be available for dinner.

the location is very unique, right on the edge of the water. free kayaking is awesome. the property definitely needs a total upgrade. the room we stayed in the main building is very tired, hot water of the shower takes forever to become hot and it is not the cleanness of the resort we have stayed.

Liked: Staff & service
I dont like to leave bad reviews but I was suprised by the condition of my room. Shabby was the best descriptive word I could find. Damaged furnishings, damaged walls, trims etc. And housekeeping could definitely do better at cleaning. I arrived late , and had to ask for cleaning supplies to clean table tops , vanity tops and shower. The staff were apologetic and kind and I understand running a property these days must be tough financially but Rockwater could really benefit from some repair/upgrades and maybe bonuses or other incentives for good housekeeping.
