Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff were lovely, and helped accommodate an early check in for us. However the room was in very poor condition. Squished mosquitos all over the walls, the bed not pulled tight as a hotel bed should be, made it look previously slept in. The sink faucet was extremely dirty, towels not neatly placed. Perhaps the housekeeper was new? When the door was closed to the bathroom, dirty finger prints all over it, and on the light switch as well. Just very poor condition for such a place of beauty and higher price point. We loved the restaurant and had a wonderful meal, enjoyed the grounds, and marshmallow making. A clean room would have really set the standard but it made us weary from the get go.

$350 a night for a ‘Cabin’(felt more like a converted construction trailer) No hand rail to go up hill to walk over uneven ground. No proper stairs. No railings or stairs to use while going down to water. If you have any mobility issues(we didn’t) , avoid this place

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.

basic stay

Lovely location & view, attentive staff, and complimentary kayaks were definite pluses. However, we didn’t feel this was value for money. Granted, it was a holiday weekend, but 500+ CAD for a hotel room (we stayed in an ocean view room) that, like other reviewers mentioned, is more like a motel than a resort, felt really steep.

Booked a deluxe oceanview cabin for 2 nights with a king sized bed. Was quite surprised when I entered our room and there was two queen beds. The company’s website and Expedia website both confirm I booked a room with one king bed and nowhere on either site does it mention the possibility of two queen beds instead of a king sized bed. Brought this to the staffs attention and was basically told yes we are aware of it and the website needs to be updated. Staff was supposed to talk to management and offer us a discount or something and nobody ever reached out. Furthermore the “oceanview” we booked was laughable you could barely make out the ocean thru all the trees. I admit there was two or three cabins that did offer a great ocean view just not ours. It appears the company took pictures from their “best” cabin to post on their website. Very misleading and deceiving. Rooms on the outside are beautiful but a lot to be desired in the inside. Also there is a terrible smell that fills the whole cabin from the septic system. I asked to switch rooms and was told nothing else was available. Very disappointing and will not be back which is too bad because the location is beautiful and has so much potential.

The property is beautiful. Unfortunately, there was a large wedding occurring at the same time I was there so the resort was busier than usual and I felt I didn't get the same service that I'd been used to on vacations past. There were disruptions to the stay due to the wedding including the main restaurant on site being close for the afternoon/evening so we had to leave to get food. When we came back, there was very little parking so we had to park quite far away from our suite. As well, the wedding was extremely loud and went on from about 3-10pm with lots of hooting, hollering and loud music. I'm not opposed to a party - but this wasn't what I expected since Rockwater has always advertised itself as a place of peace and tranquility. I would have loved being informed at the time of booking so that I could have decided if I wanted to spend my Sunday night amidst the revellers. There were some maintenance issues in the tenthouse itself which we informed the staff about - just wear and tear but it was impacting certain aspects of the stay and forcing us to improvise which I didn't expect from a 5-star resort. I also didn't expect coffee mate with my morning coffee so be prepared to bring your own cream if you prefer the real thing! The setting IS beautiful and the amenities are lovely. Great pool and pool deck, great ocean swimming with a floating dock in a beautiful little cove. Management offered a one night stay at a later date as recompense for the inconvenience.

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.
