“Perfect Honeymoon”

Rock House

12 May 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

Just returned from a week-long honeymoon stay at this wonderful hotel. Absolutely perfect setting on the harborside of the island, well-appointed guest room, attentive staff and fantastic food (breakfast, lunch and dinner).

We were blessed with perfect weather -- days split between the island's famous pink-sand beach (with sand a soft as flour) and the hotel's gem-like pool.

Can't say enough good things about the Rock House (and Harbour Island, for that matter). Definitely a home run of a honeymoon! We will undoubtedly return.

“Our best holiday”

3/3 found this review helpful

We would like to thank TripAdvisor for the lead to this hotel. We have no complaints regarding our stay, but there are a couple of things people may wish to know prior to booking.
There are only two rooms that have an ocean view and if you envision a tranquille sunset or a quiet morning view of the inner harbor, you may wish to reconsider.
We had to book two different rooms due to availability for the time we desired. We spent three nights with a harbor view and the balance of the week in a suite. Both rooms were great.
The inner harbor is a busy place and hums from dawn to dusk. It is about 2 city blocks from the hotel.
The main means of transportation is a golf cart and they all are tuned to sound like my neighbors lawnmower. There is a main road directly below both ocean view rooms.
We enjoyed the quietude of the suite but missed the view.
With regards to the Rock House restaurant, we dined there twice. It was the most expensive we found but not the best food that we enjoyed. We would recommend passing on the entrees and ordering several plates of the lobster and rock crab spring rolls which were to die for.
I ate grouper for both lunch and dinner at several locations, but the best by far was the sandwich at Sip Sips. The Dunmore Beach Club and Valentines were favourite restaurants as well.
With regards to Eleuthera, Fort Lauderdale has the most daily flights for access. Getting to Harbor Island sounds hard, but is very easy and convenient.
Thank all the staff at Rock House!

I am SO OBSESSED with the ROCK HOUSE, so amazing! I even booked it to rent out the whole place for my 35th birthday party. Nantucket-meets-bahamas chic at this beautiful resort. Love that you drive golf carts wherever you go - no cars and the rock house has some of the best food ive ever had (which is hard - the caribbean usually lacks in the caribbean period). The owners couldnt be nicer. Perfect for a chic 5 day getaway from New York. Ive found my little slice of heaven on earth and plan on returning many many more times!

This was our fourth yearly visit to this surprise oasis in the midst of the relative hub bub of Harbour Island. The Rock House has only nine rooms, each different from the other. It has a lovely pool and its' own beach a short golf cart ride away. The restaurant at the Rock House is the best on the island wth views over the busy harbor area of the island. The attention to detail present at this establishment is unparalled anywhere in the Bahamas. Simply put, we love staying here.

My husband and I just got back from 4 nights at Rock House. Rock House and Harbour Island both exceeded our expectations.

Rock House is such a cute little hotel with very nice cosy rooms. The reserved sun loungers and umbrellas at the beach are awesome. There's enough for everyone, so you can sleep in or go shopping or whatever you want and then go to the beach whenever and not worry about having to fight for a sun lounger.

We had dinner one night at the hotel. The food, service and ambiance were all very good.

Harbour Island itself is such a nice little island. It's been compared to St. Barts and, having been to St. Barts and love St. Barts, I was skeptical. But yes, it is alot like St. Barts, just quieter.

There are only a few restaurants on the island, but they're all very good.

The beach is huge and never crowded. The sand is soooo soft and it really is pink.

I can't fnd a thing negative to say about Rock House or Harbour Island. We loved our stay!
