Arrival:
We were collected by complimentary airport pickup from Koh Samui airport and the driver was amazing. When we saw him, he took us to the car, put our luggage in the boot. He gave us cold towels, a flower necklace, 2 bottles of cold water and then drove us to Rocky's Boutique Resort.
Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the staff and were told our bags would be brought to our room. We were shown to our room where there was a fruit bowl and sparkling wine waiting for us, which was a lovely touch. The bed had been made up and the staff had made 2 people out of dried beans and flowers with 'Welcome to Rocky's' written on it.
Deluxe Beachfront Suite:
The room was outstanding!!! We couldn't have asked for anything better. Situated right on the beach. The room was large and the bathroom had both his and hers sinks with a large shower and fresh towels are provided in the room every day. Our balcony overlooked the beach bay and this was the perfect room to watch the sunrise, which we did a few times! The bed was incredibly comfortable, which in previous travels to Koh Samui, we haven't had such a comfortable bed! Every day we would receive 2 complimentary bottles of water in our room. The room would be cleaned once in the morning and then later in the evening they would do the turn down service.
The Resort:
The resort overall was incredible. Whenever walking around the resort you would be happily greeted by the staff. The staff go above and beyond to ensure you are happy and feel welcome. When sat around the pool a member of staff would come around and give you free ice-water and continuously top it up when they have noticed it getting low. At some point during the day a member of staff would come around with complimentary fruit on a skewer. There are always fresh beach towels on every sun bed and if you need any extra, the staff are more than happy to help.
There are 2 pools situated at Rocky's. One pool, a stones throw away from the beach and the other pool is a short walk up some stairs. The pool further up from where our room was is a larger pool. This pool also had a child sized pool for small children who can't swim. Next to this pool there is a restaurant, The Bistro (this was the cheaper restaurant of the two). We ordered a burger one afternoon and it was delicious.
Both restaurants have really good food. The Dinning Room, however, is exceptional! We had a couple of meals here and it was honestly amazing. The steak is to die for!
The resort also have various things going on such as the BBQ Buffet on the beach and also cocktail nights, which were lovely!
The Wedding:
Our wedding was like a fairytale!
We got married on the beach outside the Deluxe Beachfront Suite we stayed in and our wedding planner and the staff at Rocky's made everything perfect. They paid huge amounts of attention to detail to everything on our wedding day. Everything was faultless!
Our guests were blown away by the whole day.
The beach we were married on was closed at 1pm to other guests at the resort so the staff members could begin decorating for the ceremony. However, the main beach remains open during this time so other guests are able to enjoy their holiday also. The registrar (Paul) is a lovely guy who goes above and beyond to make the ceremony that little bit more special and memorable.
Our ceremony started at 4pm and we then had our photo's taken around the resort, which was beautiful. Our photographer was exceptional and also really easy to get on with, which made having our photos taken easier than we thought.
We then had our reception and meal in the Banquet room and this, again, was beautifully set out! This room has air-conditioning, which is definitely needed in the hot and humid climate of Koh Samui. The food was exceptional and we had the buffet option, which again was faultless!
We had paid to have the fireshow and our guests were blown away by this. The fire dancers are incredibly professional and lovely guys who really got the party started! Our photos that were taken during the fireshow have been amazing and we absolutely love them.
We later returned to the Banquet Room for the party and this goes on until 1am. The DJ was brilliant and played all of the weird and wonderful song requests.
I could go on and on writing about how outstanding, beautiful and magical our wedding and 2 week stay was at Rocky's Boutique Resort... I would highly recommend anyone to have their wedding here and also to have their holiday here. It is something you will never forget.
