"The staff behind the bar , are rude certainly not welcoming, especially the large bearded barman / manager, sloppy person full of self importance, Pull socks up idle rocks you are ment a high quality hotel , start training your staff on good manners and hospitality"

"My husband and I spent three lovely nights at Idle Rocks, and we honestly had the nicest stay. We stayed in a Grand Harbour View Room, which was lovely and spacious, with a small seating area and great views of the harbour. Abigail completed our check-in, and we found her to be so polite and professional. She was always incredibly helpful throughout our stay. We also thought Sam, the hotel manager, was great. He was so helpful and has done a fantastic job creating such a friendly and efficient team. We had a couple of meals at the hotel too, and they certainly didn’t disappoint. We had Saturday lunch, which is called Rose on the Rocks, and it was fabulous. It was all fresh seafood cooked to order, with such a great selection of fish and seafood, including monkfish, oysters, scallops, sardines, turbot and much, much more. Everything was cooked to perfection, and to top it all off, you receive a complimentary glass of rosé wine. The restaurant manager, Lisa, was also really attentive and was always chatting with guests, which added to the lovely atmosphere. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Idle Rocks and would definitely return. The hotel has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere, fantastic staff and a great location. We really couldn’t fault it."

"We had dinner at The Idle Rocks on a really beautiful evening. The restaurant has a lovely terrace and we were hoping to dine outside. This is on a first come first serve basis which I found slightly strange considering I had booked weeks ahead. Our table was still in a lovely setting so that was fine. What did surprise me was we weren’t offered any bread and the portion size for my starter of burrata and tomatoes was tiny!! Our main course was also quite small and my husband left hungry. This restaurant is quite expensive and to leave hungry felt poor value for money. We usually eat at Tresanton which is a similar price but there is no comparison and we enjoyed a far superior meal there the following evening."

"Had a long lunch with friends which was absolutely stunning…the weather was fantastic and the food and wine was better! I really cannot think I’ve been anywhere so classy and given experience of other restaurants in London, Prague, Madrid, Venice etc - this is very reasonably priced and the food and view are fantastic."

"What a beautiful place with lovely caring staff We just popped in for a drink just after lunch , I’m in a small electric chair , we were greeted warmly at reception and were shown through to a beautiful lounge , beyond a balcony you could go onto . Due to the heat we decided to just sit by the open door and lovely views over the bay. The gentleman offered us complimentary sparkling or fizzy water and some olives and salted almonds. What a beautiful welcome , we had already eaten lunch elsewhere so just went for drinks . But looking at the menu and prices wish we would have eaten here . Also we saw the meals being brought out which did look very nice. My husband just went for English tea , I asked if they had Rooibos tea ( which unfortunately they didn’t have ). A Trevibban mill pink cider was my choice, delicious and a relaxing afternoon . ."
