HOTEL ROCKAWAY

I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Rockaway! My room was on the ground floor by the beautiful pool. The room looked newly renovated, although the bathroom was missing a door handle on the inside. The air conditioning was amazing, and the bed was very comfortable. It was very quiet when I stayed here, but I stayed in July on a week day. The beach view apartments are right on the street, so maybe that’s why some reviewers mention noise? The area around the bed was a bit small and I wasn’t a big fan of the bathroom being right next to the bed. They include breakfast, which was very nice and the staff is incredibly friendly.

Good stay. Clean and plenty of services available from local merchants. One thing to be aware of is the very loud bar across the road that pounds music until 430am. I am not overstating this. Bring ear plugs if you want to sleep prior to then. Other than that nice small pool and the incidence breakfast is ok.

We loved the hotel, pool was beautiful and the location great. The room was smallish but very clean, with a comfortable bed and nice balcony. The staff were very helpful and nothing was a bother. The only major downside of this hotel is the outdoor club that goes from 12am-6am in the vacant block right behind the hotel. If your room backs onto this as ours did, good luck sleeping Thurs-Sat night. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the nightclub.

Great place. Nice rooms, though the toilet is very small and there is only a wooden door that doesn't give a lot of privacy when you go to the toilet. The hotel is right in front of the beach, unfortunately its the beach for the surfers where the big waves are. If you want to swim you have to walk a little further. But the staff is so nice and it's possible to borrow beach towels

Of course I got the basic room, pretty small but clean, great location and very good service.

Unfortunately the design of the hotel excluded hot water at both the bathroom and kitchen sinks with no means to heat water to wash up or shave. Never experienced this ever in all the thousands of hotels I have stayed in. Somewhat spoilt a very good experience. Also the local roosters provided an irritating background to the idea of sleep.

Very nice hotel right at Zicatela, with all amenities just around the corner. Ideal for families. Excellent breakfast, helpful and nice service. *** Just beware that if you’re a light sleeper, the best rooms to choose are those around the pool. *** If you don’t mind noisy nights, then you can get a room facing the main street, where you will get a good taste of the music being played at the nearby clubs, which can be at times very loud!

View from our room was straight out to Zicatela beach. The room was great, but have some headphones handy. There's a lot of late night music down the road.
