Tembo Beach Club & Resort

We stayed at Tembo for 8 nights and absolutely loved it. To begin with the stunning boutique’ish resort itself. It has only a couple of cottages and a beautiful swimmingpool with the most beautiful view overseas! Thereupon the kitchen is beyond. Therefore we didn’t even leave the resort for approximately the whole stay. And last but not least, the staff is wonderful! They will definitely make sure you’ll have a wonderful time at Tembo. We will definitely come back when visiting Thailand or South East Asia.

We spent 8 nights/days at Tambo’s tranquility, in the midst of buzzing Samui. Nothing short of a super stay at this compact but luxurious beach front resort. The small boutique scale with very grown up facilities made this far more than we expected. Staff very friendly, personal and helpfull. ||The finishing (and maintenance) of the resort is to very impressive standards. Beautiful pool, bar and restaurant are all sea facing.||The restaurant is worth mentioning: beyond splendid for any time of day. Freshly made (a-la-carte, no buffets).||Price to quality ratio, 2 thumbs up!||Highly recommended!!

A lovely boutique hotel - an oasis from the busy street. The rooms are spotless & very comfortable, attention to detail is 👍. Pool & bar has chill vibes, great music & food. We met James when we first arrived and he gave us a lovely welcome. Since then he has served us with a smile - a great asset to the team! Also big thanks to F&B manager Dave & especially to Nong who both looked after us during our stay!

I reported a failure on booking, but unfortunately the hotel was not fully rejected in my reviews, so I will respond here again: Thank you for your response. However, I feel it is necessary to clarify several points, as your reply focuses largely on a situation at check-out rather than on the actual substance of my review. First and foremost, my review was based on my real experience during the stay, not on any intention to “threaten” your team. The mention of a negative review by another guest occurred after the issues had already taken place and does not invalidate the facts described. Linking the credibility of my entire review to this situation is, in my opinion, unjustified. Regarding the odor in the bathroom: regardless of prior inspections or internal confirmations, there was a persistent sewage smell during our stay, even with ventilation turned on. This was reported to staff at the time. Explaining this as part of a “signature scent” or candle usage does not change the guest experience, which was unpleasant and impacted comfort. Please remember that the staff themselves emphasized several times upon check-in that the bathroom fans must be turned on. I wonder why... well, it's because of the stench, especially in the toilet! And did you also verify that water leaks from under the sinks a few minutes after washing your hands? These are design and finishing flaws, not my opinion. As for the noise levels, while you refer to internal measurements, the reality is that our room was located directly by the main foyer/atrium. At night, sounds from the street, corridor, and common areas were clearly audible, making restful sleep difficult. This is not a theoretical or subjective concern, but a practical one for guests assigned to this room category. Additionally, the issue of poor door sealing, allowing both air and sound to pass through, further amplified these problems. This is a design and construction matter, not a matter of opinion. I appreciate that you acknowledged the delay in the restaurant service. However, this was not a one-off inconvenience but part of a broader impression that the property prioritizes aesthetics over functionality and guest comfort. Finally, the situation regarding the laundry bag fee was disappointing. Being charged 300 THB for a bag that remained on the property, after spending a significant additional amount on-site, felt disproportionate and unnecessary, and this context was mentioned to illustrate the overall experience, not to undermine your staff. To be clear: my review included both positives and negatives, and was written with the intention of providing balanced, honest feedback for future guests. Dismissing it as “non-constructive” because it is critical does not reflect openness to improvement. I stand by my original review.

This place was magnificent. I sat by the pool for four days looking out at the islands across the way, the ferries coming in, enjoying the wonderful pool service, pool and view. The rooms are beautiful and the staff are so exceptionally lovely. If I ever went back, I would not hesitate to stay in this resort again.

We've not even arrived on Samui yet and I love this place already. The manager, David, has been awesome helping me book a dream Christmas meal for my family. Great communication and questions to help us get set up for success, he's shown how customer service should be done. Can't wait until our amazing meal and pool time on the 25th December!

We had a wonderful stay for 7 nights at Tembo Beach Club & Resort. The location is great - beautiful beach, unaffected by airport, noisy bars & tourist spots & a short drive to places like Fisherman’s Village & Chaweng. The resort is stunning with modern & coastal vibes. Everything was always clean & beautifully presented. The staff are lovely & were always attentive. We were especially grateful to the resort going the extra mile when they provided us with an extra table in our room to serve as a desk while my partner worked in the early hours of the morning & to the staff for singing happy birthday to me with cake & candles - I felt very special. Thank you Tembo, we enjoyed our stay very much & would definitely return!
