Greenlight runs a poolside, beachfront Friday salsa night with live music and a complimentary 19:00 beginner lesson; open dancing starts at 20:00. The dance area is the café’s outdoor terrace beside the pool — billed as “under the stars” — so expect a compact open‑air floor with cocktail tables around it and a mixed crowd of hotel guests and Fisherman’s Village walk‑ins.
Arrive by 20:00 to catch the lesson and beat the crush; the DJ/band shifts between salsa, bachata and occasional kizomba for themed or special nights. The resort keeps its Friday hours tight (Google lists closing around midnight), so the party winds down earlier than island nightclubs. Lessons are complimentary; special events (NYE) use ticketing. Easy to reach: about 10–15 minutes by taxi from Samui airport, scooter parking on site and a two‑minute walk to Fisherman’s Village walking street.
