I had a disappointing stay at Rockside Beach Resort. While the beach location and view were fantastic, the room left much to be desired with issues like a leaking AC. On a positive note, the staff was friendly and the peaceful atmosphere made for a pleasant experience overall. Unfortunately, the amenities and service did not meet my expectations for a resort.

I had a wonderful stay at the resort, located right on the seafront with a beautiful private beach. The staff were genuinely friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and plentiful, which I thoroughly enjoyed. However, the air conditioning could have cooled our room faster, and Wi-Fi was only available in the reception area, which was a bit inconvenient.
