It’s a beautiful property, but I’m not sure I’d stay in a tent room again. I was freezing despite their efforts to heat it. Also they are definitely not soundproof so you hear everything happening in nearby tents. : /

We stayed in the “ocean view cabin” and it was a totally disappointing experience. The view was a partial ocean view at best and looks far different from the photos they promote. The room should be categorized as “obstructed partial ocean view” and charge appropriately. It is ugly to lure people with the false images. Also, I found several strands of hair on the bedding and the washroom was not clean, giving the impression that the cleaning hadn’t been properly completed.

There was only one robe in the cabin when we arrived but that was easily fixed by the front desk. The next day however they never cleaned the room which was unfortunate. Later that afternoon our cabin ran out of hot water prior to us getting ready for New Year’s Eve and they were unable to fix it. They did offer us a different cabin to use.

My stay at Rockwater was absolutely amazing! Arman at the front desk was super helpful and made sure our room was decorated beautifully — it really added to the experience. Vanshika, one of the managers, provided outstanding service and truly made us feel taken care of. Wishing her all the best! And a special shout-out to Hannah, our server, who treated us so kindly and checked in to make sure everything tasted perfect. Thank you all for making our stay so memorable! 💛✨
