Its "rock around the clock" at this huge Beach Road resort with a bubbly holiday camp feel. Kids love the 2,000m lagoon pool, water sports and Lil’ Rock club (among many other activities); while adults enjoy the subliminal lessons in pop and rock history (500 pieces of music memorabilia, including one of Kiss’ Flying V guitars and a sparkly sequin suite worn by Smokey Robinson, are strewn about the colourful place) and late-night live music in the Hard Rock Cafe. Staff (‘rock agents’) patrol the resort, making sure everyone feels like a ‘star’.
It’s currently being refurbished, but when completed by December will include upgraded city and seaview rooms, as well as family suites with bunk beds and x-box games, among other nifty add-ons. Some of these are already completed and now available at cheaper promo rates.
One of the hotel’s biggest draws are its raucous Saturday night pool parties, when revelers, guests and outsiders alike, frolic in the foam while DJs spin until well past midnight.
