Roseroc Boutique Guest House

" A lovely clean room with a view across the lagoon. All staff were excellent and Kevin was very knowledgeable and informative.
Breakfast was superb."
Bayview Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Fabulous hotel, super helpful staff. "
Pezula Nature Retreat
10/10 Excellent
"Good"
Sky Villa Boutique Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at this property. The views were amazing and the room was beautiful. We had dinner at the restaurant both night we were there and the food was fantastic. The welcome drink was delicious. If it had been on the menu we would have had several. The only complaint I have would be the fact that there was no help with the luggage when we checked out and the woman at reception would not allow me to leave the car out front for a couple of minutes so I could help my daughter with the luggage. The service at the end was a real disappointment after such a great stay. For this reason I can’t give it 5 stars."
