DESCRIPTION: |
|
Rockhouse is a hip boutique hotel
stretching across the cliffs of Pristine
Cove in Negril. Twenty-eight air
conditioned rooms have thatched roofs
with private sun bathing decks and are
nestled in tropical lush gardens. The
resort boasts a 60 foot cliff top
horizon pool, a laid back atmosphere,
and a restaurant serving "new Jamaican
cuisine" on a balcony suspended directly
over the water. Ladders and stairs
carved into the rock lead down to easy
water access for swimming and snorkeling
on the reef. Spa body and beauty
treatments are available in your room
and Yoga classes are offered throughout
the week. The Rockhouse Shop is stocked
with personal amenities, snacks,
clothing and souvenirs to satisfy your
vacation needs. Architecturally
designed and newly renovated the
Rockhouse is a stylish place to chill
out. Rockhouse is located on the cliffs,
two and a half miles west from Negril
town on the West End Road. The hotel
forms the western most point of Jamaica
- the best spot for sunsets. The
closest major international airport is
Montego Bay.
Whether
you are chilling out under an umbrella
reading a book and drinking a Red
Stripe, or sunbathing poolside sipping a
margarita, the Rockhouse Hotel is an
ideal place to unwind. None of the
hotel's activities are very strenuous.
You can play a game of scrabble or
backgammon at the lounge, snorkel swim
and sea kayak in pristine cove, or float
about in the sixty-foot horizon pool
that's cut into the edge of the cliff.
In addition we have recently introduced
morning Yoga Classes. Join Fenette as
she conducts Open classes of Hatha Yoga,
Iyengar style. For the beginner, or an
advanced yogi, this Open class
encompasses all levels. Classes have
been structured so as to allow a
beginner to benefit safely from basic
postures, while challenging the most
advanced with greater flexibility and
strength.
Quiet niches are found throughout the
property; gazebos and platforms nestled
among the rock provide natural resting
places for soaking in the beauty,
suspension bridges and steps carry you
into hidden grottos for daydreaming,
private gardens with benches offer
peaceful seclusion.
For the truly exhausted, or those
wanting to relax in complete privacy,
there's no reason to leave your room.
Order a massage or have a Jamaican aloe
rubdown from one our experienced staff.
Rockhouse Hotel has introduced a range
of in room Body & Beauty treatments
including Swedish, Deep Tissue, and
Shiatsu Massage, Reflexology,
Rejuvenating Body Scrubs, Manicure,
Pedicure and Hair treatments. Fully
Trained & Certified Practitioners
provide all services.
Alternatively, we can bring you a
Video/TV to watch a film. Select from
our Movie List featuring a wide range of
feature films, music concerts and
documentaries that are all made in, or
about Jamaica. Sleep and dream in your
four-post bed, or snooze on your balcony
under a thatched eve. The only reason to
stir is for the brilliant sunset, and to
order room service.
The laid-back, casual atmosphere (bare
feet are more common than shoes in the
restaurant), at our hip architecturally
designed boutique hotel in a tropical
paradise on the edge of Pristine Cove
creates a hypnotic effect. As the menu
cover most appropriately warns -
"Visiting Rockhouse for lunch can lead
to staying for the sunset, ordering a
cocktail, booking for dinner, checking
in for a week, and coming back every
year for the rest of your life...Don't
say we didn't warn you!" |

ACCOMODATIONS: |
|
The rooms are
designed to enhance your natural Jamaican experience while
providing all the comforts of a boutique hotel. Rockhouse has
twenty-eight air-conditioned rooms all with private balcony or
terrace with lounging furniture. Ten villas, twelve studios and
six standard rooms are built from timber, stone and thatch and
designed to exist in harmony with the jungle like garden and
volcanic rock land. The mosquito net draped four post queen size
bed with bed side tables, desk/dresser with stool, and two
seated table with chairs for in-room dining, are featured in all
rooms. This is a new furniture line specifically designed for
Rockhouse and built from dressed and polished local timbers.
The villas are all
individual, cliff top, thatch roofed cottages situated directly
over the water. They feature spacious, wrap around, private
terraces and sliding glass doors providing great vistas of
Pristine Cove. All have queen size beds, with five of the
villas having lofts. The loft villas, in addition to the queen
bed downstairs, have a double bed and a twin bed upstairs and
can occupy up to four people. All the villas have CD players
and private, enclosed, outdoor showers open to the skies.
The studios rooms
are more traditional style hotel rooms, being grouped together,
with each having a balcony that provides water views. They also
have private, enclosed, outdoor showers. All studio rooms are
double rooms with queen size beds and accommodate two people.
They have all the standard Rockhouse room features outlined
above.
The standard rooms

RESORT
ACTIVITIES: |
The sixty-foot, freshwater, horizon, swimming pool is carved
into the cliff's edge. The pool features a 20-yard lap swimming
beat (borrow some goggles from the pool bar), and a huge
one-foot deep step for lounging on. You may think it is a
salt-water pool after taking a dip because the occasional wave
from the ocean breaks over the edge into the fresh water giving
it a salty feeling. Floating mattresses allow you to relax and
take in the sun while partly submerged in the water.
Snorkeling and swimming are among the major active pastimes
(Yoga has also recently been added) at the Rockhouse. In
addition to the swimming pool, ladders and stairs lead down into
Pristine Cove. Here, crystal clear, snorkel perfect water
provides a great environment for open water swimming, and
fantastic views of the coral and sea life. Observe clusters of
dwarf tube sponges, small coral heads and a variety of colorful
reef fish.
The hotel offers Water Sports rentals from the pool bar with
snorkeling gear, sea kayaks and sea rays (glass windowed
floating boards) available. Two glass bottom boat operators,
Famous Vincent and Errol, cruise by the hotel each morning
usually between 9am and 10am offering boat trips along the
cliffs, down to Negril town or beach, and out to the main reef.
Close by in Negril other activities such as tennis, golf,
gymnasium, scuba diving, boat rental, sailing, windsurfing,
parasailing, water skiing, horseback riding, night clubs, bands,
entertainment, tours etc. can be arranged through the front
desk. |
