Lively fresh local Caribbean cuisine at ‘The Rocks’

Golden Rock Inn includes a wide variety of cuisine and drinks in their breakfast, lunch and dinner menu, including indoor and outdoor dining.

Gardens of the resort

Notably, Golden Rock is home to more than 50 species of palms that are rarely or no longer found in nature, including Talipot Palm, Yaray Palm, and Guano Palm.

The garden showcases native plants and grasses along with exotic flowering trees and bushes such as pagoda flowers and sausage trees.

The gardens were creatively designed by Miami-based designer Raymond Jungles under the leadership of New York artists Brice Marden and Helen. They are also the owners of Golden Rock.

Notably, both the artists worked together with Raymond to create this remarkable space for peaceful inspection.
