TUI BLUE The Passage Samui Pool Villas with Private Beach Resort

This hotel is in a fantastic and quiet location for a peaceful holiday. The TUI brand has recently acquired the property, which is continuously being renovated and upgraded. The accommodation was excellent and comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensure that we enjoyed our stay. The small villa had a seating area, two single beds, a big bathroom, and a little front garden with outside seating. The aircon and roof fan worked seamlessly. The water pressure in the bathroom was good. There is also a kettle for boiling water, cups, and glasses. The hotel provided bottled drinking water, some sodas, coffee and tea, and snacks, which were replenished daily free of charge. The room was serviced every day. An adequate breakfast selection, which includes both Western and Thai options, is provided and served at the beach restaurant. There are a variety of daily activities available, as well as a well-equipped gym and a spa that offers reasonably priced treatments. The hotel features two great swimming pools with deck chairs, right by the beach. In addition to the hotel restaurant, there are many good restaurants and bars nearby, some within walking distance. We stayed for two weeks over Christmas and New Year's. Although the hotel offers various transportation options, we rented a car to have more opportunities for sightseeing during our stay. Overall, it’s a great hotel in a wonderful location, and we would stay here again.

Great location at the quiet end of the island, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the private beach strip free of boats and hearing the wind and exotic birds. Family friendly atmosphere. Manager Axel and his staff were very friendly and helpful in meeting all of our needs. Khun Art will make you a great omelette with fresh chili in the morning - he's also a great info source if you plan to travel to other parts of the country. Ask for the coconut shake! Plunge pool villas were great for cooling off in the abnormally high temperatures. Fantastic views of the sunset every evening!

Beautiful pools and grounds, super clean and staff were absolutely fantastic, Nirin especially at the bar!

We really liked our stay at The Passage. A family of 3 - two adults and 1 child. Although we arrived early the staff did everything they could to accommodate us earlier than the check-in time. The Villa's were great with a lot of space a good bathroom and air conditioning, which is a life saver with the heat. I really liked the pool right by the Villa. With it being a large pool you could either swim a few laps of play with the children as it's not too deep. The beachside pool was also great with the bar and restaurant right next to it, so if you needed to get any refreshments - you could. The beachside pool also had a decent number of sunbeds to enjoy the poolside and get a great tan! The Passage has access to their own beachfront and the first few days we caught high tide with loads of water. If you swim out a little further you could also snorkel and find different kinds of fish. Some of the days it was low tide, which meant that you could walk down to Nathon town by the beach. There are a lot of restaurants and cafe's down that road so you could find authentic Thai food, Italian restaurants and cocktail bars! The Hotel offered a huge amount of amenities - gym, massages, transport, rent of scooters etc. The rooms were cleaned daily and the staff was always super friendly on some nights there were BBQ nights where you could get a buffet of different meats with live music. We really enjoyed our stay there!
