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.

honestly I don’t know where to start from. I had very high expectations from this place looking at the pictures, but everything went beyond my best wishes. Let’s start from the staff, they are all genuinely nice and kind, as all the people in Thailand. The room was just amazing very clean and very well equipped large bathroom, with beautiful daylight and bathrobe and slippers. Had a front beach suite with Private pool and that was just amazing. I could easily access from a small gate to the beach. The amazing thing is that you get for free 4 big bottles of water per day and snacks and soft drinks, minibar is for free. I used the spa three times during my say and the lady working at the spa has just simply MAGIC hands. Massages are very unexpensive and very well done. I had dinner 3 times during my stay at the restaurant and the food is really very good, without mentioning thenice service if ever I go back to koh Samui I will surely choose this hotel again.

​The connecting double and twin rooms were an ideal setup, feeling just like a private villa. We were so impressed that our earlier request for these rooms was accommodated. The check-in was seamless and truly exceptional; my husband and I were even treated to a welcome shoulder massage as we waited. The staff were all outstanding, particularly Dee, Smile, Wave, Kiki, Toey, M, and Yaya. A special mention goes to the professional and friendly receptionist who handled our check-in. The aqua session in the pool was a highlight, thanks to Kiki who was fantastic at getting everyone to participate. Sunsets at the beach were amazing. Food was of great quality and catered to your desired spice level!

The staff were friendly & tried to accede to some of our requests.

The location of this hotel, with what amounts to a private beach, is outstanding. There cannot be many hotels on Koh Samui which offer accommodation in such fabulous surroundings, with the restaurant, poolside bar, swimming pools and relaxation areas - with copious sunbeds and parasols - all within metres of the sandy beach. The staff cannot be faulted for their friendly, polite approach, and the rooms, all with private access and small garden areas, are well-appointed and spacious. Recommended if you want a relaxing stay, in fabulous surroundings.
