  Great staff, great site in a convenient and beautiful location

  STAFF The vast majority of them are amazing, smilly, will pick a chat with you if you hint that you feel like it. Take the time to chat with them, you have much to gain from it. I forgot most of the names already, but cannot not mention Tina (bar, restaurant) and Collin (maintenance/cleaning). The lobby folks were very helpful and proactive too. There was one incident with the phone not working that did test that relationship a little bit, but we understood after the fact that this was out of their control, and an employee let us use their own cellphone. SITE / LOCATION The great: - You are not close to downtown and the site is reserved to guests. This means that NO ONE IS HARASSING YOU TO BUY STUFF. Peddlers get VERY insistent and unpleasant on the beached areas and on the road. - The view is gorgeous. - Onsite snorkeling and cliff jumping. It's not "out of this world", but definitely good enough to keep us going for dives every day. - There are resident cats, with a particularly cuddly orange one. - We really enjoyed the pool in the "new" part of the resort, it was always crystal clean and the right temperature, with a gorgeous view. The "meh": - Very few vegan options. Beans, tofu and nuts are not staples there. However, if you ask the staff, they'll make you something (or at least try to help you). I found this to be true in most places. Be prepared to eat lots of greens and root vegetables. - All-inclusives does not include snacks outside of the restaurant hours. If you're hungry during the gap between 14:00 and 19:00, you'll need to go purchase snacks at the convenience store (3 minutes walk). You do not have access to anything to cook or warm-up food either. - The resort is clean and well-maintained in general. Some sections are lush with trees and plants, with an incredible soundcape in the evening. Parts of it however are quite dull, with only white and grey concrete in sight. There are attempts to make it a bit nicer with fairly lights in certain places. - The cleaning folks do a good job overall, but will sometimes forget to bring in a clean towel (so we had to share one). This happened twice in 12 days, and I'm sure we could've gotten an extra one by asking the lobby. The ugly: - Nothing I can think of.

  We would certainly stay again! Great value, great service, great people!

  Samsara exceeded expectations! For a 3⭐️ hotel, we received 5⭐️ service & location was on point! Comfortable bed, good food, not overly crowded. Very friendly people that learned our names on day one and felt like family by the time we left. We loved the shuttle service to the beach as well as morning snorkeling right outside our door. The rooms could use updating but we had no intention of staying in our room the whole time so it didn’t bother us one bit! The rooms were clean and AC worked great so we were happy with it at this price. It was a great value and we will 💯 stay again. Thanks Samsara for a wonderful trip!

  Big up to Tina, aunty Marcia in the Bar Georgiadean6 big chef and the persons that was working alongside her thanks alot

  The warm welcome of the staff, they made us felt as if we were home. The atmosphere was very friendly and safe. I have to big up a few people who contribute to making our staying an experience to remember: Tina & Aunty Marcia who was working in the bar, the level of versatility that was shown their energy was on match never a dull moment around them. Georgiadean6 We big chef who worked effortlessly for us to get something even if we came late. She went above and beyond and the rest of the members that was working along side her didn’t get the names but you guys was apart of our experience and yuh know yuh self so just big up. The ladies at the front desk thanks for making our booking a success. Big up to the security guard them they were doing more than what their job was required. Overall we had crazy fun even though we didn’t get to catch any of the live performances from the band because we got there late. I hope I’m not missing out anyone. The room space was comfortable just one problem I had and I think it can be fixed easily. Put air conditioners/ fresheners in so that the room can be more air friendly and I realize some of the rooms had refrigerator and some didn’t . A little night snack/ juice would be nice also just in case you feel peckish in the late night.

  Everyting Irie inna Jamaica at Samsara!

  This was my second stay at Samsara, and it was just as incredible as the first. I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff and accommodations; they truly go above and beyond. From the moment you step off your transportation, you're welcomed like family. It was such a joy to see everyone again, you've not aged a day in 2 years :) You’re all simply the best. Everyting Irie inna Jamaica at Samsara!
