  Wonderful experience

  Wonderful location. Wonderful staff who we will remember and miss. Some facilities need updating. Remember to take the trip to Legends, the sister hotel, for a beach experience. The room pillows could really do with replacing, but the aircon was great and so too was the room, balcony and view.

  Stunning views

  Im not sure where to start as I enjoyed our holiday but I think it could have easily been made better Staff- amazing - friendly - caring and happy to help Our room - Basic but lovely - comfortable bed-and nice bathroom- no coffee or tea making facilities-limited towels- but spotlessly clean Food - beautifully cooked and Jamaican- but very limited choice Breakfast - lovely - cooked eggs how you wanted them freshly for you Perhaps offer Chips or bread rolls at dinner Perhaps tell all inclusive people they can buy food off another menu (pizza chips etc) at a reasonable price Bar- open 10:00 till 22:00 staff lovely and drinks OK. Entertainment - only a couple of times a week but good Views- amazing !!! Pools - three- nice and clean Hotel- hotel of two halves - our side lovely - other side very dated Reception- like stepping back in time ! Very Jamacian- staff lovely and very friendly and helpfull Shuttle bus to Legends: useful but even though at 10:00 and 16:00 - not really enough times a day - perhaps one at 12:00 as well- Once you get to Legends (don't expect too much!) Location brilliant and can walk down 7 mile beach

  Awesome

  Exceptional Service from Tina at the Samsara Bar I had an amazing experience at Samsara in Negril, and I have to give a special shout‑out to Tina, the bartender. Her energy is infectious — always smiling, always welcoming, and genuinely happy to see guests. What really impressed me was that after five days, she still remembered my name. That small gesture made me feel right at home and showed how much she truly cares about the people she serves. Tina is a standout member of the Samsara team, and she made my stay even more memorable. If you’re visiting, make sure to stop by the bar and say hi — she’s the best.

  Best staff but not a typical all-inclusive resort.

  If you are looking for a budget friendly resort this is it. I would recommend this resort for staff but not for dining, drinks, or location. First, they do not provide towels for the beach or outside area only bathing, and everytime they cleaned our room they took the towels and didn't replace. We had to go ask front desk to get more towels and wash clothes. The food was flavorful but not much variety. I don't eat many carbs and breakfast was mainly all carbs unless I ordered eggs. Lunch was the same rotation of food, tuna sandwich, chicken salad sandwich, burger, just not the variety we are use to from an all inclusive resort. If it wasn't for the staff I wouldn't recommend this resort at all. They went out of their way to get to know our names and make us feel welcome. One of the owners was there working with the staff and he was very friendly and spoke everytime he saw us. Our room was just off the roadway so it was a little noisy when traffic was going by regularly. Most rooms had small refrigerators but they were not stocked with anything. There was a store a few yards away where you could buy items for your room if you liked. It was on the cliff so no beach if you wanted to sit on the beach they offered a shuttle service for their sister resort Legends form 10 am until 4pm so you could relax on a beach. There is only one restaurant and one bar but the resort is small and charming.

  Terrible hotel bad service and not what is advertised

  This hotel advertises as all inclusive it is not. It's a very poor full board with no entertainment. Awful food packet mix soup. Smash potatoes chicken wings nearly every day or tin fish frozen vegetables. Breakfast is fried eggs toast and limited bacon on odd days or if you go after 830 there's nothing left. They don't cater for the quests they serve like it's rationed and your only allowed one selection. Repeated weekly. There's no options for kids and the hotel is ona very dangerous cliff that is pitch dark at night no security lights u can easily fall off the cliff. It advertises 4 restaurants there is none only one poor school dinner type served area with very limited good. The rooms are basic with air conditioning. Take your own beach towels and shampoo as there is no provided toiletries. The staff are rude like your begging for food or drinks.. The bar is rum brandy gin in unbranded clear bottles anything in a bottle is charged extra. We was told the food was limited due to the hurricane but if we paid from the non all inclusive we could have anything it suddly became available. This is the worst all inclusive I have ever stayed at. Over priced poor facilities rude staff and bad cleaners. It's on a deadly dangerous road with some accomadation across the road on a blind d corner. It was my first xmas abroad and my worst xmas and holiday. Do not book this hotel as all inclusive or if you have children you will be very disappointed nothing like the website shows the sea is too rough most days to swim and they put signs saying no swiming so if u are going to dive don't bother. If you like packet mix soup porrage. Fries chicken wings n tin fish you will like this hotel. Oh and the plastic fruit. U might get a slice of melon if your first in for breakfast. When is gone it's gone. Bar shuts early making guests feel unwelcome most people are in bed by 830 it's the most boring hotel ever. Everyone there was walking round like we was at a funeral looking depressed and disappointed.. Don't book this hotel
