Beach at TUI BLUE The Passage
The beach receives mostly positive praise for beauty and lack of crowds, but mixed reactions on overall appeal—some find it genuinely beautiful while others consider it less impressive compared to other Koh Samui options.
Recent reviews from July 2026 (claims 246702, 247021) remain positive. Earlier mixed sentiments appear in May 2026 (claims 251549, 252457, 252569) and February 2026 (claims 256673, 256747). No clear temporal trend of improvement or decline, though the most recent data points lean positive.
What the reviews tell us
Beach praised for beauty and aesthetic appeal by multiple reviewers from diverse countries (Israel, Germany, United States), with recent reports from July 2026 calling it great and not overcrowded.
Beach setup described as excellent and convenient, suggesting good access and practical arrangements.
Negative comparison to other Koh Samui beaches reported by at least one reviewer, suggesting the property's beach may not rank at the top tier for the island.
Structural constraint: Koh Samui beaches are primarily coral with very little soft sand, which may limit sand quality and composition compared to sandy-beach destinations.
Lack of specific detail on water clarity, water quality, or precise sand characteristics leaves parts of the holistic beach assessment underdetermined.
TUI BLUE The Passage beach generates divided opinion, though positive sentiment edges ahead. Multiple reviewers describe it as beautiful, great, and nicely uncrowded, with one noting excellent beach setup and convenience. However, a meaningful minority reports the beach was not particularly appealing when compared to other beaches on Koh Samui. A structural constraint worth noting: Koh Samui beaches generally feature coral with very little soft sand, which may affect the sand quality and composition aspects of the beach experience. The positive claims lean heavily on aesthetics and lack of crowding rather than specifics about sand quality or water condition, leaving those particular elements of the holistic assessment somewhat unclear.
Beach praised as beautiful versus dismissed as less appealing
Multiple reviewers describe the beach as beautiful, great, and best (claims 246702, 251549, 252457), while others state it was not very appealing and not so beautiful (claims 256747, 252569). This suggests either genuinely mixed experiences, differing expectations, or reviewers arriving with different beach experience baselines. The negative claims specifically reference comparison to other Koh Samui beaches, suggesting the property's beach may be acceptable in isolation but unremarkable relative to island alternatives.
