The hotel's 365 rooms and 259 suites are split between two towers, Oasis and Nirvana, and both are modern, glossy and finished with the bold Hard Rock styling you'd expect. The basics are spot on for a golf week: comfortable beds, proper showers with decent pressure and terraces where you can sit with a post-round beer and let the day settle.
Deluxe Rooms are the entry-level option and they're perfectly adequate for couples or solo travellers, with garden or partial sea views depending on which floor and wing you're in. If you want more space to spread out, step up to a Studio or Rock Suite. Many of these come with a hydro-massage tub, which is genuinely useful after 36 holes in the sun, not just a gimmick. The suites also give you a bit more separation between sleeping and sitting areas, handy if one of you wants an early night and the other fancies a nightcap on the terrace.
For those who like their mornings bright and their views big, Rock Royalty rooms on the higher floors are the ones to ask about. These come with private lounge access, dedicated butler service and panoramic views that stretch out over the coast. The lounge itself is a quieter spot for breakfast if you want to avoid the main buffet rush, and the butler team can sort tee time confirmations, restaurant bookings and any other bits you'd rather not queue for at reception.
Storage is fine in all room categories, there's enough wardrobe and drawer space for a week's worth of kit plus golf shoes and waterproofs. The terraces are furnished and south-facing in most cases, so you'll get sun from mid-morning through to late afternoon. If you're the type who likes to sit out with a coffee and go through the card from the day's round, you'll use it more than you think.
One practical note: if you're light sleepers, it's worth mentioning at booking that you'd prefer a room away from the main pool and entertainment areas. The evening vibe can be lively, which is great if you're in the thick of it, less so if you're trying to get your head down at 10pm.
The hotel's ten dining and drinking venues cover a wide range of cuisines and moods, so you're not going to get bored over a week. Montauk is the standout for meat lovers, serving prime cuts cooked over hot coals in a classic steakhouse setting. If you've had a good day on the course and fancy celebrating with a proper ribeye, this is where you go. The meat is quality, the sides are generous and the wine list is strong enough to match.
Narumi brings the precision and artistry of Japanese cuisine, think sushi, sashimi and teppanyaki done properly rather than the westernised versions you sometimes get in resort hotels. Suena Chido delivers vibrant Mexican flavours with bold spicing and fresh ingredients, ideal if you want something punchy and a bit different mid-week.
The Beach Club focuses on healthy, organic dishes with ocean views, perfect for a lighter lunch between rounds when you don't want to feel sluggish on the back nine. Sessions is the all-day buffet restaurant and it's better than most resort buffets, with live cooking stations, international dishes and enough variety that you can eat there multiple times without repeating yourself. Breakfast is comprehensive, covering everything from full English to lighter continental options, and it's served early enough that you can fuel up and still make an 8am tee time.
For a more casual vibe, the 3rd Half sports bar serves Tex-Mex favourites alongside premium drinks, with big screens showing live sport throughout the day and evening. It's the natural spot for groups to gather after golf, especially if there's a big match on or you just want somewhere relaxed to debrief the round.
The jewel in the dining collection is The 16th, a vast rooftop sky lounge where creative cocktails, live music and Atlantic sunsets combine to create one of the resort's most memorable settings. Whether you're celebrating a good round or simply soaking up the atmosphere, this venue captures the Hard Rock spirit without feeling forced or gimmicky. The cocktail menu is inventive, the DJ sets are well-pitched and the view at sunset is genuinely special.
Beyond golf and dining, the resort's leisure facilities cater to every mood. Three outdoor pools offer different experiences: the family-friendly Splash and Lagoon pools provide space and activity for groups with kids or anyone who likes a livelier pool scene, while the adults-only Eden pool delivers a quieter, more tranquil environment if you want to read a book or just float in peace.
The Rock Spa is a comprehensive wellness centre and it's worth blocking out a few hours mid-week to make proper use of it. The thermal water circuit includes hot and cold plunge pools, saunas, steam rooms and a unique snow cabin that's surprisingly refreshing after a long round in the heat. The treatment menu covers everything from sports massages (genuinely useful for golfers with tight shoulders or lower back niggles) to full spa rituals if you're after something more indulgent. The music-infused massages are a signature touch, where the therapist tailors the session to a specific genre or tempo, which sounds gimmicky but actually works well.
Stay active at the Body Rock gym if you want to keep up your fitness routine, it's well equipped with modern cardio and weights kit and there's enough space that it never feels crowded. Rock Om in-room yoga sessions provide a more mindful option, while the resort's activity programme includes basketball, mini-golf and other recreational pursuits if you fancy a break from serious golf.
Entertainment runs throughout the day and into the evening, with live bands, DJ sets and special events creating an electric atmosphere that keeps the energy high long after the sun goes down. If you're the type who likes a lively resort with plenty going on, you'll be in your element. If you prefer peace and quiet after dinner, the adults-only pool area and the spa provide easy escapes.
