  • 2/5 Marald van den B. 2 years ago on Google
    Resort didn't meet our expectations. Site was during our stay from 8-15 August 2021 under heavy construction, accomodation lost its Thai style and interior completely. Red roofs became sad gray. Lot of noise during the day at the pool. No make up my room service or fresh towels. Pictures on booking.com and on Rocky's website don't reflect the reality at all. If we would have known this, we would have booked a different place. Restaurant staff is very friendly, Thai food is great. This resort deserves 2 stars maximum and is way too expensive for what you get.

    We had the most amazing 4 nights at Rocky's in Dec 2023. This boutique hotel is stunning, set in a great location, offers regular shuttles to popular areas and most importantly, the staff are AMAZING. The General Manager (i forgot her name) and Kaew in the restaurant were particularly brilliant and sourced me some coffee beans because I liked the coffee in the restaurant so much. The food in the restaurant was also great and catered for vegetarian food (even if it was off menu or at breakfast). I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks Rocky's team!

    Yes this hotel is worth to get 5 stars. Staffs are helpful . Location does be much superior !! I got room No.333 ( the only exclusive villa of this hotel) It's quite hard to book for the date we would expect to stay. So, if you want to make a booking for this room better to check on hotel website there is room availability chart showing. Hotel shuttle airport service is also available (600 bath/ one way)

    One of the most beautiful places we have ever been. We enjoyed 7 nights in an oceanfront room with plungepool and it was just fantastic. The staff was extremely friendly, the food excellent and the barkeepers made perfect cocktails. We highly recommend this resort and hope to come back soon!

    Global Top Winner! Prior to retirement I travelled extensively over a period of 20 years. My wife and I have now been retired for 19 years and travel globally for about four to six months each year. Our experience as guests in the hotel industry is considerable. Rocky’s Boutique Resort impressed me far beyond my most hopeful expectations. I believe honest reviews are important and I truly mean what I have to say. ESSENTIAL POINTS: Service: I have never received better service anywhere. Yes, anywhere! It easily surpasses North American and European standards. Cleanliness and Upkeep: Excellent and the high standard of maintenance makes everything look as if new. Appearance and Location: The resort is alongside the ocean. Flowering trees and tropical plants surround artistically designed swimming pools. Outstanding beauty. Restaurant and Food: Delicious food, good variety, generous portions, and reasonably priced. FURTHER COMMENTS: It is obvious that all employees of Rocky’s have been professionally trained at all levels. Staff cheerfully volunteer to assist and are there when required without the need to be asked. They say Thailand is the land of smiles, but you can tell when the smiles are genuine. At Rocky’s they are genuine. *Note to management. I also see that your staff get along well with each other and seem happy to work there. Whatever your secret is, keep it up! Most resorts in Southeast Asia are in a continual battle with salt air, monsoons, the occasional typhoon, and the structural damage it causes. You wouldn’t know that any of these problems affect Rocky’s. Everything is maintained to a high standard. One word sums up Rocky’s. Outstanding! Don Easton Canada

    Such a beautiful and comfy resort. We were treated to a complimentary room upgrade on our arrival, which was such a treat. The staff are super kind, friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfy, and the beds are amazing. Little touches like complimentary beach bags, flip flops and sun hats to use during our stay were an awesome addition. The beach bbq and fire show were a lot of fun as well. We had a great stay here and would recommend Rocky’s to anyone.

  • 5/5 Brandon T. 10 months ago on Google
    Rocky's was everything you could wish for at Koh Samui. Beautiful views, peace and tranquility with that extra sparkle. The service provided from when we first set foot at the reception to the day we left has been amazing. The breakfast is a pleasure and the wonderful staff take care to remember small details down to your usual drink order. Everyone is a delight to be around. We had the deluxe pool view room and it was wonderful. The room came with some snacks and drinks which were enjoyed beside the pool. The room is refreshed daily and towels replenished promptly. Every step was taken to ensure our stay and visit was made as easy and wonderful as possible. Whether that be motorcycle hire to ensuring we were taking the correct transport. I particularly liked that whenever we came back from small excursions a staff member was always there to greet us and ask how our day was. Felt like a real family!

    Beautiful hotel with a magnificent, quiet location. The rooms are new and very nicely done. Staff is very friendly and professional. Breakfast is very good. The only thing that bothered me was the air-con in the room, simply too loud to sleep. Had to switch it off for the night, which made the room temperature very warm, even with an open balcony door. Would be nice to have a mosquito net for the balcony as well. Other than that, it was a great experience and an enjoyable stay.

    We were married at the resort 10 years ago and went back for a 9 day stay. The location and view is spectacular. The hotel is looking very tired and needs some general maintenance. Although the new reception hall and parking area is great, the beauty of the hotel that originally attracted us was its Thai-style feel but with the new colour and design features (mostly all grey) it just didn't enhance the natural beauty of colour, timber and texture which it once had had. Our room (one of the Premier deluxe ocean view rooms didn't have a fan on the balcony which rendered the space unusable due to the lack of wind and the number of flies at this time of the year. The pools have plenty of shade. The food is a little hit and miss (they need new cutlery) there wasn't a day that we didn't hear the knives being dropped either by staff or guests because of their flawed design) also rendering the implement useless. The food often came out on huge plates (with a need to fill the space with garnish and unnecessary excess quantities ) and resulted in a lot of food wastage. One great point is that you can rent scooters directly from Rocky's on a daily basis which makes it so convenient for you to see the island. The staff were attentive and friendly, they just need some systems and tools worked through (we had issues with package inclusions and billing). Overall, we had a good stay and the 4 stars hold true to what they offer. Good rooms, love that they provide slippers, flip flops, beach bag and hats!

    We stayed here for 4 nights and had a lovely stay. The staff were excellent and very attentive. They bought round water/fruit for us whilst at the pool and we’re always friendly and helpful. The food was also great, I’d highly recommend the Crispy Sea Bass with Red Curry and the Mango Smoothie from the bar! The rooms were a good size and great value for money My only comment was that as 2 friends on holiday we felt we were slightly out of the way from the nightlife.

  • 5/5 Eli O. 1 year ago on Google
    It was an absolute pleasure to have had the opportunity to stay 4 nights at this exquisite hotel. As a couple, we were astounded by the sheer beauty and tranquility that surrounded us during our stay. Firstly, the location of this hotel is nothing short of spectacular. With a private beach at our doorstep, we felt as though we had entered a paradise all of our own. The serenity that enveloped us was unparalleled, and we felt as though we had been transported to a different world. Moreover, this hotel provided us with a relaxed atmosphere that was conducive to unwinding and letting go of our daily stresses. The absence of parties allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the tranquil environment, and we were able to rejuvenate our minds and bodies in the process. The rooms were immaculate, and we were impressed by the level of cleanliness that was maintained throughout our stay. It was evident that the hotel staff were committed to providing guests with the highest level of comfort and hygiene. We would also like to extend our gratitude towards the courteous and accommodating staff who were always eager to assist us with any requests or queries we had. Their warmth and hospitality made our stay all the more enjoyable. However, as vegetarians, we were slightly disappointed with the limited options available for us in terms of food. While the dishes that were provided were delicious, we would have appreciated a wider selection of vegetarian dishes to choose from. Overall, we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway. From the location to the rooms, everything was impeccable, and we cannot wait to return to this stunning haven once again.

    Absolutely loved our stay at Rockys Resort. The staff were attentive, friendly and very helpful. We enjoyed our private plunge pool on the beach front, hired scooters for the day and tripped around the island, and enjoyed the food at the resort. You won’t regret a stay here.

  • 4/5 Adam F. 10 months ago on Google
    Enjoyed our stay immensely at this lovely resort. The staff were just so friendly! One negative was that the 'Happy hour' wasn't as happy as it could have been because the 2 for 1 deal served 1/2 measures of spirits, a naughty practice that was noticed by many guests, shame as it's a lovely, intimate place...

  • 5/5 Cen C. 5 months ago on Google
    So far i saw several resort. Rocky was the great one. . . . . I do visit with one of special person there. We stay for 3 night. All building looks great and homey. Staff also homey that we met every morning.. thanks to the front office team and driver that drive me to local pharmacy to buy some medicine that time also.. probably 10/10 for rocky

    Hidden away in the southern region of Koh Sumai, this little boutique hotel has a nice little private cove. On arriving, I was impressed with the style of the hotel and the view you had from the reception. I had made a few requests which were not accommodated for which was disappoint and on arriving at our room was disappointed by the smell that greeted us. Fortunately, they allocated us an alternative room which did not have the smell issue and was what was initially expected, a nicely styled room with a sublime view. The hotel’s facilities were decent, with nicely located pools which never felt overly busy. A great breakfast and friendly staff, the staff and feeling felt very family orientated.

  • 5/5 darion j. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommended! My wife and I spent our honeymoon here and it was the best decision we made! Our room was spacious and luxurious! The ocean views from our room were spectacular!! The food was great! Our favorite part was the hospitality of the staff, they were friendly, accommodating, helpful and extremely efficient! Hope to visit again soon!

  • 4/5 Kerry M. 9 months ago on Google
    Really enjoyed my stay there. Will definitely be back God willing. Super friendly staff, rooms comfortable and they're happy to give you 6 bottles of water a day with your room which is most welcome in Thailand's heat. That was a plus for me, as establishments like Rocky's normally give 2 - 4 bottles and charge heftily for anything more. Breakfast was good, as were the meals in general. Not too pricey either. You can hire a motorcycle or car through reception, and the motorcycles are parked under reception. Cool. You have a choice of three swimming pools, which was great. Not too busy, SUP boards and canoes available free. Can't complain.

  • 5/5 Josiah G. 6 months ago on Google
    Have had an amazing stay at Rocky’s, staff are very friendly and service is excellent! Have been accomodating for all of our needs. The location of the resort is about 5 minutes drive out of Lamai. A great stay if you would prefer to be away from the busyness. Food and Drinks have been amazing too.

    My partner and I recently stayed for 3 nights at Rockys resort. The hotel was luxurious, the rooms were large and extremely comfortable and the two swimming pools (one with a beach view and one without) were clean and delightful. The beach was small but private with perfect white sand and a great place to watch the sunset. The staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful and really helped make our stay very enjoyable. Nothing was too much bother and they went out of their way to ensure we felt fully looked after. They happily helped organise transport for us around the island (including a free shuttle to certain locations) and ensured we celebrated our anniversary in a special way. Each day by the pool, one of the staff members would bring round fresh fruit and ice cold water to your sun bed which was a lovely touch. We also received 6 bottles of water fresh each day in the room, a complimentary coconut water and cool towel on arrival with some complimentary drinks and snacks in the fridge in the room. The breakfasts were great with loads of options with a lovely view, the evening menu was also nice serving some great Thai food along with some western options and the cocktails were lovely. Because we had to check out before breakfast they kindly arranged a breakfast box to take with us which was very appreciated! The resort was very relaxing, luxurious and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay - we hope to be back one day.

    Couple 30s: Amazing stay. Staff were perfect. Some of the best poolside cocktails you'll ever have. The rooms look better than online. Food is also delish! Id recommend sticking to the thai menu. Could not recommend more!

  • 5/5 Antonín R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great hotel. We stayed for 4 nights and it was worth it. The rooms are partially renovated. Everything was clean. The staff was perfect and helped us with everything very promptly. The pool areas are really nice. The gardens are well maintained. We rented a scooter from the hotel 350 bath/day, they arranged transport to the northern port for us (400bath). I appreciate the decent prices. If I had to criticize something, it would be the scooter helmets - they are a joke (I know it’s common here but still…). Second thing were the restaurant prices. E.g. water (0.7l) was 270 bath + 17% which kept us away. The pool bar and a dedicated cafe were closed probably because of covid. However if we come to Samui again, we’ll probably come to Rocky’s again.

  • 5/5 Pe t. 2 years ago on Google
    We stayed unfortunately only 2 nights in the Rocky's. We had an excellent time there, the location was recently renovated, the service including the breakfast was amazing and the resort is a really nice place to relax on the private beach. Fully recommended. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Marelize V. 1 year ago on Google
    Easy access to private beach. Bar and restaurant overlooking the seafront makes for beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Relaxed and did not have a worry in the world! All the staff are super friendly and helpful. The food was amazing! Cocktail hour is the best!

  • 5/5 Steve B. 1 year ago on Google
    Rocky's is an excellent facility. The staff couldn't have been friendly or more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Rooms are as shown on the website and the facilities are excellent. It is in a quieter region of Koh Samui but there are most things are close by. A few good restaurants near by. The whole island is recovering from lack of tourists due to COVID, but it looks like they are rebounding well with new business fit outs underway across the island. Rocky's to cater for all ages, but I think it would be a great place for a wedding or honeymoon. Didn't see a lot of kids but plenty of guests 40+, including me. I'll definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Jessica B. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a fabulous 4 night stay here to celebrate our 10yr anniversary, after getting married at this beautiful resort 10yrs ago we always looked forward to returning. Hannah did an excellent job or organising a special dinner on the beach with fire dancers for us and our guests, and we enjoyed the delicious happy hour cocktails each day. The staff were excellent, a special thanks for Jun for looking after my mum who had a few mobility issues, plus Jack in the restaurant who provided fantastic service. All the staff are lovely. Loved the paddle boards and the free use of reef shoes too. Thank you Rockys for a wonderful stay, we loved it!

  • 5/5 Glenn A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great resort and everything is quality. Not in the township but did not want be there with bars and noise . They have shuttle that will get you Lamai if you want. Nice private beach and two great pools.some good restaurants a short walk away as well.

  • 5/5 Emily J. 10 months ago on Google
    This might be the best accommodation I’ve ever stayed in in my entire life!!! The staff are SO so lovely and the rooms are beautiful and spotless. The pools are great and so much trees and nature you feel so relaxed. Restaurant food is delicious (pricey for Thailand but worth it 100%!) and there is happy hour 6-7 and 9-10pm with the best cocktails ever. The margarita was my go to!! It was really quiet when we visited end of May so it felt like we had the place to ourselves almost! Quiet considering how close it is to main road. We hired a scooter for 350 baht per day and got out and about! But to be honest, we spent most of our time at the resort because it was just so relaxing. Highly highly recommend. Thank you to Jun & the staff for looking after us ❤️

    Rocky has impeccable hospitality. You might get carried away with their beautiful smile and wishes. The stay was very comfortable and every second spent here was worth. Informative and extremely caring staff.

  • 5/5 Peter L. 1 year ago on Google
    The rooms are clean and the beds are super comfortable. The staff is always helpful and ready to assist with anything. Love the views and the pools. The A/C is great in the rooms.

  • 5/5 Sarah L. 1 year ago on Google
    Rocky Boutique Resort is such a wonderful location for a relaxing vacation! It was nice to have two large pools, as it never felt crowded and there was a lot of space to swim. The staff is extremely kind and the complimentary breakfast is delicious. The lunch and dinner options are also incredible, and we had our meals at the resort many times. There is also a spa service which is very nice and reasonably priced. Best of all, the resort is right on the water and the view is absolutely stunning. We used the complimentary paddle boards and kayaks a couple times to explore the beaches nearby. You will definitely not be disappointed if you stay here!

  • 5/5 Lynne L. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are looking to relax, unwind, listen to the sounds of birds and the sea, wanting lush greenery and outstanding hospitality and food, then Rocky's is the place to book in Koh Samui! My husband, Greg and I spent 9 x fabulous nights at Rocky's at the beginning of October 2022. The General Manager, Jun and ALL her staff are so helpful and friendly-nothing is too much trouble! We stayed in room 804 which has sweeping views of the Gulf of Thailand. The room was very clean and well-maintained. The facilities in the resort are excellent and the food was delicious-lots of variety and so fresh and tasty! Take your pick from spicy to very spicy! The resort is on the quieter side of the island which suited us perfectly but if you like the hustle and bustle of Chaweng, you just take the shuttle bus. We both LOVED our stay at Rocky's and would highly recommend this boutique hotel! You just cannot beat their outstanding service!

  • 5/5 Summer B. 1 year ago on Google
    The Rocky Boutique Resort is absolutely amazing! By far my favourite place in Thailand so far. The views, the grounds, room, food and staff were all 10/10, we had a bit of trouble with another hotel and the team went above and beyond to help us out, big shout out to Jun :) also to Singapore SPLINGGGGG this lady was so so sweet! Hands down the best place to stay in samui definitely worth 5 stars and every penny!

  • 5/5 Jay R. 2 years ago on Google
    5+/5 stars. One of the best resorts that exist with excellent facilities (esp. pools!) and food as well as a wonderful and devoted staff. Our daughter felt loved and made many friends amongst the employees.

  • 5/5 Ольга �. 1 year ago on Google
    Strongly recommend this amazing hotel. We spent here 4 nights in both ocean view and garden view rooms during our honeymoon vacation. Everything was on 5stars level - staff, environment, rooms. The best place in Thailand!!!
