With 98 bedrooms and suites housed in cottages, the resort has a small and friendly feel to it, making it ideal for both families and couples looking to retreat to a more private habitat.

The Rosedon Hotel is a simple boutique hotel surrounded by tropical gardens and only a ten minute walk from the bustling city of Hamilton.
All 39 bedrooms are located within the 20th Century mansion or around the swimming pool, the majority of which have a balcony or terrace overlooking the pool or private gardens.

The annex bedrooms are more modern; with bamboo floors and modern amenities such as flat screen TVs and large marble bathrooms.
Although the hotel does not have a restaurant, they offer a complimentary breakfast which is served at your choice of room, patio or poolside. The hotel also offers a lunch and light dinner menu to guests, as well as complementary, traditional English afternoon tea served on the main house's front porch.
