Set in a resort area of small hotels, the Blue Horizon stands out because of its brightly colored buildings. The casual, open-air ambience appeals to couples and singles seeking moderately priced getaways where there's shopping, dining, nightlife, and water sports. Families appreciate the hotel's kitchenette rooms. Rockley Beach Park, a popular gathering place across the street, includes clothing and crafts vendors, colorful food shacks, and water sports rentals. The hotel features a 40-by-15-foot pool surrounded by a spacious terra-cotta-tile deck furnished with cushioned lounge chairs and umbrellas. Three poolside gazebos with peaked wood-and-canvas ceilings shelter dining tables.
