“Would stay again”
Beautiful all around, clean spacious room, friendly staff, good food, beautiful views on pool/ocean side.
“Best Value in Nuevo Vallarta !”
This was our 2nd time to Samba Vallarta. And we had a great time again. Even though the hotelcould use slight updating, it is one of the best places we ever vacationed at. The grounds are constantly maintained, as is the pool. It could use a little more variety in the buffet area, but we still found something to eat every day. We highly recommend this all-inclusive resort to anyone who likes to be catered to. The staff is literally at your beck and call. And if you have kids, the Kid's Club is #1. Not only for the kids, but for the parents as well. We can't wait to go back again in a year or two !!
“Excellent all-inclusive family resort!”
This hotel was fabulous! It is much smaller than some of the other resorts and is quite a ways from downtown Puerto Vallarta, but that is one of the things our family really liked about it. I felt very comfortable giving the kids a bit of freedom to do things on their own. The food is just okay, not the best, but still good. The whole resort was very clean and well-kept, and the staff was amazing. They took care of everything for us! I would definitely stay here again with my family, and I would recommend this resort for other families. However, if you're looking for nightlife, you might want to stay closer to downtown. Again, perfect for families.
“Can't wait to go back”
The hotel was a great size, much more personal than the larger hotels. The staff was extremly helpful and friendly. I had read this in other reviews, and found it to be true.
“Looking forward to return”
We were looked after with the best of care.The staff was so great! They made you feel so welcomed.
“A very relaxing vacation spot”
We completely enjoyed our stay at this hotel. An excellent spot providing the quiet and relaxation we were looking for. The food was good and the service great.
“Can't wait to go Back”
I was very impressed on the customer service Samba's crew supplied to us on a daily basis. Everyone was extremely nice and help us with any questions we had. I would love to go back just because of the employees at the Samba. Thank you for making my trip relaxing and memorable!!! I will for sure be back in the near future!
“great hotel /good service/polite staff/comfortable rooms”
This is the third time my husband and myself have stayed at the samba. We find the staff very friendly and helpful. it's nice to go back and have the same staff there to welcome you back. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The evening entertainment is always interesting. the samba is a very family orientated hotel. everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.
“Perfect for girls' weekend”
Myself and four of my girlfriends LOVED this place...it was the perfect all-inclusive place we wanted...all the drinks & food you could want. The staff was amazing & the gounds were beautiful, clean, and extremely well-maintained. Also, with a beach right down the steps from the pool, we had options of where to lay out. And no worries, the waiters still took drink orders down at the beach too :) The beach had many many cabanas for shade, and there were nice showers and foot baths when you came back up to the pool. the beach/pool bathroom was very clean, that really impressed me. we had the 2 double bed suite. The room had a slight musty odor, but nothing that bothered us too bad, especially b/c it was very clean. No bugs either :) comfortable beds & very roomy w/ space. I would not recommend it for a quiet, romantic getaway, however, b/c there were a lot of families and children around. so if that's what you're looking for, this probably wouldn't be the place for you...
“Samba a little great hotel to stay”
Small hotel compare with the huge palaces that you will see around the area but it has all you need to have a great time. Excelent service; frindly staff, live entertaiment and all inclusive. Far away from downtown but ryou can take a taxi for about US$15.00 or enjoy a great trip in a bus for about US$0.90. The bus pass every 20 minutes in front of the hotel. My hole down was the thin wall let you hear all the noise from other rooms but we request a new room in a more quiet place and we got it reight away. Because the Hotel is in the new turist part of the city; the beach is quite and no issues with vendors. My first choice when I come back to Puerto Vallarta.
