“very good hotel and even better food”
very good
“THE place to relax in Negril, Peace, quiet, swim, snorkel, sunsets! WOW!”
Samsara was perfect! Wonderful staff, great food, lots of things to do in walking distance.
“GOOD LITTLE GETAWAY”
The DRIVE to this location is over a hour long from the Airport; expect to take the Tour Bus ($25.00 per person- One Way) or a Cab ($100.00 One Way). Once there at first glance at this Resort, you expect the worst. But after the check-in and the Escort directs you to you’re desired room; you will find out that this Resort isn’t that Bad. If you expect this Resort to be on the standards of the Major Hotels you’re at the wrong place. Some of the rooms at this Resort have a rustic style; if this is what you’re looking for, this is it. The staff was polite and very welcoming, very receptive to you’re needs. The food was okay; don’t expect a large serving of food or drinks (6oz cups). There isn’t an ice machine or ice containers in the rooms, so either you have to buy a bag of ice from the store of continue to get cups of ice from the bar area (6oz cups). Take the shuttle to their sister Resort (Legend) for the Beach and Sand; but stay at the Samsara for the Pool; Jacuzzi and the BEST VIEW. Plenty of places to eat on the streets; wear comfortable shoes/sandals for walking. Some of the natives can be entertaining while others can be a little annoying after awhile. OVERALL MY HUSBAND AND I WOULD RETURN.
“Great place, mediocre food”
I have to say this was the best vacation I've ever been on. The hotel was beautiful, view was great and everyone was extremely accomodating. I would definitely upgrade to one of the "hut houses" - it's worth it. The only complaint my girlfriend and I had was that the food in the all inclusive package was only OK, however the drinks make it all worthwhile-
“soon come again samsara!!”
great stay with great people all around me clean quiet.. beautiful.. good food day and night.. samsara you are great.. and the pizza at ciao... un real... love ya..
“Jamaica Mon”
Great place to chill and relax....
“Really enjoyed my stay at Samsara!”
We had a great time at Samsara! Can't beat the value here. Nice people, clean room, good food and the most outstanding ocean view I've ever seen in my life. Will definitely be back and recommend to friends.
“In LOVE with this hotel!”
This is a fantastic hotel! A friend and I stayed for our Spring Break and it was the perfect fit for us! This is a very, very personal resort, the feel and the atmosphere is very friendly as well as inviting! The people who work for the resort made our trip by being friendly and welcoming every meal or interaction. The best thing about this hotel is the view, absolutely spectacular! We are already planning our trips back and cannot wait to stay again at Samsara! Great for older college students who want a more relaxed Spring Break, and aren't into the booming bass found on the beachfront hotels!
“Wish I was still there!”
I had read mixed reviews about Samsara before going and was a bit unsure of what I would find when I arrived. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived and fell in love with the place from the first day. If you can, splurge for the "penthouse" rooms that are on stilts overlooking the ocean. The intimate setting and hammock on the front porch is perfect for enjoying the sunset or wasting the day away!
“I will be going back.”
I absolutely love Jamaica and Samsara is a perfect place to stay. The hotel is situated along Negrils cliffs, which offer a spectacular view. The hotel staff is very pleasant and helpful. Those two things make for an awesome stay. First time visitors should take note, any negative reviews are from people expecting way too much for what they are paying. The hotel grounds are beautiful. The rooms; well maintained, clean and simple. The buffets consist of a mix of Jamaican, American and European dishes; all well prepared and you won t leave hungry. If you are expecting marble floors and brass fixtures, 24 Hr. room service and meals made to order then prepare to pay much more somewhere else. If you want a relaxing vacation for yourself or your family, Samsara is a great hotel in a fun town. While there go down to, Samsaras sister hotel (guest from one, are welcome at the other). You can spend the day, enjoying the same great service, along the beach. Visitors should, also, not be afraid to walk or taxi downtown to visit the shops, markets and mingle with the residents.
