One of the best places I've ever stayed at! Location is perfect in my opinion, If you want the crazy parties get a very short taxi to Chaweng and then come back to vibey luxury pool / sea at Tembo, they have things all the time like: DJ, Drum DJ, Happy Hours, Things are happening but no chaos. Super close to airport, pier is close for tours to north islands I recommend "funny days Tours" they operate from the pier close to hotel. Remember Grab App for grab eats! and Grab Transport. (Like Uber / Uber eats) Great Vegan options at Tembo! If you want some pizza use grab app for "the hungry Wolf" one of the best pizza's I've had in a long time. Tembo was absolutely amazing! Also close to Fishermans Village which is a must do! Thank you, Tembo! You will forever be an incredible memory for us.

Nothing it was perfect! Didn't realize the bathroom was a wet room so shower water spills a little for the OCD types maybe, but this is all I can think of and really nothing. Again Tembo you were amazing!

We spent 8 days at Tembo Beach Club & Resort and felt extremely comfortable. The facility is very well maintained. The double room is a small villa with its own terrace, stylishly furnished and very bright. There is a very large bathroom in the back. The complex has direct access to the sea. However, the sunbathing area is by the hotel pool. There were free loungers at all times. The staff is incredibly nice and fulfills your every wish. The location of the hotel is good. You can reach good restaurants on foot. If you want to have breakfast out, we recommend the Café K.O.B., which you can reach after a short walk along the beach. Fishermans village is easily reached by shared cab. You don't have to wait long for a ride on the street in front of the hotel. We enjoyed our stay at Tembo incredibly and can only recommend the stylish, new, very well maintained hotel. Many thanks to Tembo and its whole team.

Everything about Tembo was superb! We stayed for 6 nights and couldn’t fault it. Tembo is privately owned & attention to detail is apparent everywhere. The rooms are spacious, the beds big & comfortable with opulent bedding. Bottled water is supplied daily along with a refrigerator to keep it cool, all the toiletries you need are there and should you find yourself needing entertainment of the TV variety then all TVs are smart with access to Netfix, YouTube etc etc. As for the public areas, the bar serves a great happy hour daily, the food is utterly delicious… we tried nearly everything on the menu between us and weren’t disappointed once!… & breakfast is a La carte & abundant. There’s a great pool overlooking the sea with quality luxurious day beds & towels. There’s also wonderful sandy beach access directly from the pool so you can easily alternate between the sea, the pool & your lounger! Combine this with fun friendly hardworking staff and your in your own corner of paradise! Ladies… there’s also a superb shop on site selling amazing clothing and gifts at very reasonable prices!

Nothing…! All was more than we could have hoped for!

Perfect location on quiet beach. Raised position overlooking bay with horizon pool deck, palm trees, Sun loungers and beds all furniture and fittings of a high new quality. Many restaurants and bars available outside. Spacious well airconditioned rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Our best stay on a two month vac in Bali and Thailand…..we spent 9 nights here.

Nothing that we didn’t like. Met all our expectations.

the poolside, the decor of the beachfront villa, the fact that it has its own private beach and cleanest waters… breakfast on point and the most helpful staff.. we had great time!! It’s only 10 mins fron airport and attractions too. special thanks to Paew who is the nicest worker ever!!!☺️

they overcharge for airport transfer; they quote 500 thb each way whereas local taxi stop quoted as 250 thb. also lots of mosquitos and we even had a gecko visitor to our room once; they enter the rooms easily through cracks :)))

Cozy hotel is very new and bungalows and common area are built in modern style, we enjoyed a lot the vibes, being directly at the beach. Directly next to the hotel, there is and agency for a trip to marine national park, it is also very close to Elephant sanctuary. Drive to Nathon pier is ~30 min same for Lamai, walking distance to the famous temples is very convenient as well. So the location is just perfect. There are shops across the street, great massage studios and very nice local restaurants. Room was cleaned every day with water supply. Breakfast is ala carte menu but absolutely enough and extremely delicious with focus on every detail. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Overall, food in the restaurant is more pricey but still fine compare to German restaurant. It was amazing stay and can highly recommend it!

The only minor thing is that breakfast is served only from 08:00, for every tour/planned trip the pick up time is around 08:20, therefore it is impossible to have breakfast that day. We were not informed at the arrival that we can rather prebook a breakfast box for take away the day before, or order breakfast day before to have it ready directly at 08:00 next day. This is only small details.

We are disappointed that we booked only just 2 nights (of 18 nights) here. Everything was exceptional: from the welcoming at the reception, the room, the drinks, the view, the staff, the breakfast. Quality/price of the accommodation is absolutely the best I can remember. Probably because september is not high season. I can’t give any other reason, but I’m sure the prices gonna get higher in the future, because I still can’t believe we paid so less. So, just book at Tembo, don’t think twice. The second evening we thought to give a try at their kitchen and even that was delicious. They have happy hour Thursday, so we tasted all their classic cocktails. Also very good! The room is spacious, new and clean. The staff is extremely friendly and gentle. We are very satisfied with our staying here! Till next time..

It didn’t disturbed me, but my girlfriend found that the room was to light in the morning. The sun came through the curtains.

The villas are impeccable- very comfy beds/pillows and the A/C unit are the best! Staff are all very friendly. Snacks and food by the pool were really good. The view is outstanding.

The pool itself were not that clean. There was an external pump set-up to clean the pool, but it didn’t seem sufficient, which is rather disappointing when staying at a beach club. Prices for food are quite higher than average and the prices in the menu card is not included service charge and vat, which is 17 % on top of the price shown. Pretty annoying that they don’t just show the actual prices, like they do most places. Cocktails are not high standard and is not made by real bartenders. I tried the Caipinhinra and like my last stay 2 years ago, they still can’t make it right. I’m sorry, but it’s not that difficult to use brown sugar and not white sugar.

We loved everything about Tembo from the minute we arrived. The guys on reception we're great and immediately made us feel welcome & special. The resort itself is beautiful, lovely pool, right on the beach with a lovely chilled vibe. The food & cocktails were some of the best we had on the island. The rooms were spotless and really beautifully decorated. But I have to come back to the staff in Tembo - there are lots of nice places in Samui, however the staff here really make this place exceptional. I will be back in a couple of months!

Having to go home

We really liked that place! It looks just like in the photos. Attentive staff, Very well kept grounds, spacious room and bathroom good breakfast choices. (Menu, not buffet- maybe don’t go for the pancakes if u are very hungry compared to other choices they are a bit smaller). The atmosphere is very chill and we would have stayed longer if it wasn’t already fully booked. Very small downside was that we had one of the rooms closest to the road which you do hear..

Maybe some tiny thing that could be fixed: you could only switch on both bedside lamps- not separately… especially in a twin room makes sense to have individual control.
