Tango Luxe Beach Villa, Koh Samui

L’emplacement parfait pour le coucher de soleil

Rien

The bed was comfortable

I know that the manager is going to make a comment about what I say here, but this is my experience at Tango Luxe. Firstly breakfast. Only a very small choice. Delivered at the time you specify, however your on holidays, and some days your up early, others you want to sleep in. Was brought to our villa. They lay out a table cloth, that for 6 nights stay, 4 mornings the was ripped. Ordered eggs Benedict. Served on wet and soggy toast and absolutely smothered in sauce. And yolks were hard most the time. Next day I ordered toast, well that was cold. Tried the pancakes the next 2 days, bland with no flavour. Housekeeping… I’m not sure that the bed sheets were changed at all during the 6 night stay. I would wake up scratching. We were there 3 days when the housekeeper came in, she made the bed and changed the towels, that’s it. I had a dirty glass in the bathroom for 3 days before it was noticed. The shower sprayed every which way as the shower head was so old. Very hard to regulate the temperature and would often go cold. The pool… well that is mostly in the shade so doesn’t get warmed by the sun. The wooden outdoor floors had nails and screws sticking out. The restaurant, way too highly priced and not much choice, so we never ate there. The main pool is directly next to the restaurant so if you want a swim there, there’s no privacy from people at the restaurant. There was a private function there one night, so couldn’t have eaten there if we wanted too. If your looking for a beach, well go somewhere else because there is absolutely no beach. It’s all rocks and no sand. Everything came at a cost. If you wanted ice to chill your wine, you had to pay for it. Wanted Evian water in the fridge, you had to pay. The courtesy bus was 500 baht to Bophut, a grab cost 300, so that’s not really a courtesy. I rate this place 5/10 and that’s being generous. Bit sad that it kind of ruined our expectations and our holiday

The room was incredibly spacious, with a lovely rustic design that made it feel very homely. The beds were extremely comfortable, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches such as the in-room Bluetooth speaker. The plunge pool was a great feature and kept at a really pleasant temperature. Breakfast being delivered to the room was a particularly nice touch, especially being able to enjoy it outside in a relaxed setting.

The restaurant attached to the hotel was quite expensive offered a predominantly Western-style menu, so more variety would have been welcome. The communal pool was very small and not particularly comfortable to relax around, as the sunbeds are positioned directly next to the restaurant where guests are dining, which made it feel lacking in privacy. As a result, we chose not to use it. The location was also fairly quiet, with limited nearby beach access, meaning a longer walk was required than expected to reach a suitable beach.

The villa was advertised as having an ocean view — and technically, it does. However, the view is through the restaurant area, which means there is absolutely no privacy if you want to relax in bed and enjoy the scenery. It appears the restaurant has been extended, making the current layout quite different from the photos, which now feel outdated. I was hoping to spend peaceful evenings by the water, but instead found myself surrounded by restaurant guests. We visited the restaurant once for breakfast: the Eggs Benedict were served cold and the bread was very dry. On the positive side, the BLT sandwich was good. In the evening, however, the experience improved significantly — the drinks were excellent. I would definitely recommend stopping by for sunset and a cocktail.
