Food & drink prices at TUI BLUE The Passage
Food and beverage prices at TUI BLUE The Passage are consistently reported as significantly overpriced—described as European-level or higher in a Thai setting with small portions—with minimal countervailing evidence of value.
Consistent across all recent reviews (Feb–Jul 2026), with the most detailed and severe critiques concentrated in April–July 2026. No temporal improvement detected; the complaint spans the full 5-month period with no shift toward positive reports.
What the reviews tell us
All non-breakfast food and beverages must be purchased separately and are priced significantly higher than comparable offerings outside the hotel
Multiple reviewers report dishes, drinks, and extras priced at European levels or higher despite the Thai location and small portion sizes
Specific pricing examples include a coconut drink at 440 baht (€12—equivalent to a meal for two at nearby restaurants) and beer at 150 baht for a 0.33L can
Two reviewers acknowledged food quality as good or nice but maintained that pricing remained unjustifiably high relative to portion size and external market rates
Breakfast is included in the room rate; all other meals, drinks, and minibar items are not
Reviewers across multiple countries—Germany, Poland, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Israel, and Canada—overwhelmingly report that food and beverage pricing at TUI BLUE The Passage is unreasonably high for Koh Samui. The criticism spans specific examples (a coconut drink at 440 baht/€12, beer at 150 baht for a 0.33L can, dishes at European prices with small portions) and broader complaints about restaurant overpricing relative to both the property's maintenance level and external Thailand dining options. Two reviewers offered mixed sentiment by acknowledging decent food quality despite high cost, but no reviewer contested the core finding that prices are excessive. Breakfast is included in the rate, but all other meal and beverage purchases are separate and marked as expensive. The near-unanimity of this complaint across recent reviews (May–July 2026) and absence of any claim defending prices as reasonable creates a clear and severe value problem.
