Verdict
The Rock Resort is a small resort on Pulau Aur, in a bay it calls Teluk Baai. It sells full-board packages with buffet meals and a barbecue, and its rooms range from dorm beds in shared rooms to sea-view quads, twins, a double and a family suite with two bathrooms.
The resort lists a restaurant, a pool bar, a spa and Wi-Fi, and it sells dive packages with boat dives and a night or shore dive. Check-in is from 1 pm and check-out at 10 am. It has its own website with a booking engine and posted on Instagram through September and October 2026.
The catch is the terms. Agents selling its packages disagree on whether the 2-hour speedboat from Mersing is included, the prices on its booking engine look like placeholders, and the resort closes in December for the monsoon. Confirm the price, the boat and your dates with the resort on WhatsApp before you pay.
Good for
Groups and families who want air-con, a mix of dorm and private rooms, and diving from the resort.
Not for
Anyone who wants a published price and clear terms before booking, or a trip in December.
