sleep
- There are 42 guestrooms, 35 suites, and 8 houses.
- All guestrooms and suites have outdoor space and are steps from the beach. They do not have TVs.
- Ocean View Cottages have a king bed and a walk-in closet. This is the only room category without an outdoor shower.
- Beach Front Cottages have a sofa that could sleep two young kids, but no walk-in closet.
- Ocean View Junior Suites come with a king bed or two queens. They have a walk-in closet (without a door) and a sofa that can sleep a small child.
- One-Bedroom Suites and Treehouse Suites have a separate living room with a sofa that could sleep two small kids. Outdoor space is accessible from both the bedroom and living room. Some have a private pool.
- The Two-Bedroom Suite has direct beach access.
- There are 8 houses/villas with full kitchens, ranging from 2 to 6 bedrooms. Laurance House and Columbus House are on the beach; the others are located up the hill.
- Rollaway beds can be added to almost all rooms (some can fit two rollaways).
- This is a keyless resort — rooms lock from the inside but not when you leave. Because of how remote the hotel is, it feels safe. All rooms include a safe.
- The hotel underwent a four-year renovation following Hurricane Irma and reopened in 2020.
- The resort closes from mid-August to early October (hurricane season).
- Overall, the property feels intimate and private — like a secret hideaway.
play
- The resort is located on a calm, clear bay — ideal for young kids and snorkeling. Keep an eye out for turtles!
- Snorkel gear (including kid-sized masks) is provided for the duration of your stay. Guided snorkeling is also available.
- Free daily “beach drop” boat trips take you to nearby beaches and are a highlight. The resort provides a cooler, umbrella, and towels; picnic lunches are available for an extra fee.
- Free non-motorized water sports include kayaking, paddleboarding, and Hobie Cats.
- The Rosewood Explorers Kids Club, ages 4–12, is free and offers a mix of indoor and outdoor activities.
- Babysitting is available with advance notice (fee applies).
- The pool is small — the beach is definitely the highlight. If your kids prefer spending all day at a pool, this may not be the best fit. There is a shallow kids pool.
- Bikes are available to get around the property, or you can request a golf cart shuttle. The resort is also walkable and stroller-friendly.
- There’s a small farm on property with goats, guinea pigs, and chickens that families can visit.
- Your dedicated butler can assist with coordinating plans (communication is via WhatsApp).
eat
- The food is excellent, but expensive. Kids menus are available.
- Breakfast is served outdoors in the covered Pavilion restaurant, with beautiful views overlooking the water.
- There are three restaurants on property, plus themed dining nights for added variety.
- Expect to eat most of your meals on property, though Spanish Town is about a 10-minute taxi ride if you want a change of scenery.
- Food and drinks can be delivered directly to your beach chair, but service can sometimes be slow.
- Free ice cream is served on the beach daily.
