Rock House
Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.
Harbor Island, Bahamas
Rock House is a small luxury hotel located on Harbor Island in the Bahamas. This boutique hotel opened in early 2003, and is within walking distance of the harbor and its quaint island shops. The beach is just a golf cart ride away.
The hotel has nine spacious king size rooms which are each individually decorated and are named Palm, Nautilus, Pineapple and Seahorse. The rooms have been completely renovated with new bathrooms, private terraces, central air-conditioning, cable television, high speed internet access, mini bars, safes, and luxurious 400 thread count cotton sheets. As a fabulous extra, each room comes with a private cabana surrounding the hotel's 40-by-20 foot swimming pool. This should come as great relief to anyone who has ever tried to claim even a chair by the pool at almost any large resort.
Guests can choose to dine at either of the hotel's two restaurants, the Grill and the Rock House dining room. Open for lunch and dinner, the Grill serves light grilled food and is located in a palm filled courtyard with views of the harbor. Dinner is served in the more formal dining room, furnished in British Colonial style. Dishes include Bahamian seafood, crispy Thai spring rolls and the hotel's famous crab cakes. Guests can be seated privately or sit with others at the Chef's table.
For a trip to the beach, Rock House can arrange for picnic baskets, a cooler of drinks, umbrellas, chairs and towels. Snorkeling, diving, water skiing, golf cart rentals and sightseeing can also be arranged on request. If you are feeling energetic you can workout in the Rock House gym, which is equipped with a variety of fitness equipment. Or feel free to relax and have a fruit martini or frozen drink next to the pool at the Martini Bar.
If you are looking for a quaint tropical vacation destination with style and attentive personal service, Rock House is the place for you.
