We go to Rockwater every year, usually in the off season as it's simply so expensive here in the spring/summer months. A lot of the time that's because the place is sold out through weddings - be careful not to book at the same time. The tents are amazing, and i'd recommend you do one or two nights of simply... More

We had originally booked into the cabins but on arrival were not happy with the quality of them. There is a septic tank in that area that is loud and makes it impossible for it to be quiet. I also thought given the cabins are close to $200 a night they were pretty poor. All of this however was saved... More

Stayed 3 nights in a tenthouse suite. Some elements were lovely - the tent was comfortable and fairly well appointed, but we had a few issues that made our stay less than spectacular. We were made to sign an agreement upon check-in which detailed the policy demanding a 10pm quiet time - this sounded great to us, as we are... More

Rockwater was just wonderful, we went there for a relaxing weekend and that is what we had - there are no tvs in the Tent Suites where we stayed, so if you are not a fan of that, don't go, but the views of the ocean are spectacular and it was a great place to reconnect - we had a... More

From the moment we were greeted by Andrea, a most friendly and helpful staff member, we knew we were in for a positive and memorable experience. Staying in one of the resort's "tenthouses" was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, though we're committed to returning to it as often as we can in the future. The staff are friendly and attentive, the attention... More

Stunning, beautiful, perfect setting. Stay in the tents. Well worth the money for the experience. This is that private peaceful getaway. Having kayak rentals right there is a great bonus. The restaurant is not as comfortably prepared for vegan diets as many other resorts we've been to. However they will try to accommodate you if you pre plan with them.
