Had an ocean view room which had a great view and was quite close to the water. We wanted a room with two beds but had to settle for a queen bed and a cot.
We didn’t have all inclusive plan but paid for drinks and enjoyed the pizza made at resort.
Walking to nearby restaurants was a little nervous as there isn’t much of a shoulder on the road. Pool was warm and clean. We were there for a week and saw a band play twice there. Awesome!

The air conditions was working (which is needed). The rooms were very clean also the pool. A live band was playing Friday night. We walk to near by store to get snacks the area was safe. I did not eat on the property. My only was it was four of us and the gave us towels for two even when I specifically ask for four and no new bath mat. Overall I will stay again.

The staff was outstanding! They were very attentive and really made you feel that you were a part of their Jamaican family! I liked our bungalow it was very spacious although somewhat dated with some fresh curtains and furniture. That would be fabulous.
The food was excellent; I enjoyed the morning breakfast the best with Georgia starting my day with her smile! I looked forward every evening to Henry always smiling and making sure we had everything we needed.
The girls from the front desk to housekeeping to the bar made every day a blessing! Special love to Tina, Maraceli, Kimi for always smiling you are truly beautiful inside and out!
I believe his name is Roman and the other security guards for getting me across the road safely throughout my stay!
I want to come back already!
Much Love and Respect!

The views of the cliff and the sunset was the best part of the trip. Staff were very accommodating and for that I’m very happy about. Staff are doing the best they can with what they are given, the place could use some improvement and remodeling on some of the units. There’s not a lot of food options if you choose all inclusive, so something to be mindful of if you choose that option and have dietary restrictions. This is not a fancy place, but it has all the charm and cultural vibes of Negril. Restaurants and beaches are close and you can get a taxi ride right from the hotel. Overall I really enjoyed my stay at Samsara Hotel.

We stayed in the garden bungalow and rustic is an understatement. Towels taken each day but sometimes no clean ones brought back. Only 3 outlets, cat and dog noises all night and crossing the road to get to our bungalow felt very unsafe with how fast locals drive. The food was sub par. Beautiful cliff area and the pools were clean. Staff was pleasant. Would not return.

The view was beautiful to the sea, property was filthy, we told we weren’t allowed coffee until after the all inclusive guests ate first, there was only 2 bath towels, we had to ask for towels, face cloths, and beach towels, it took two days to receive. It is a huge slip and trip hazard when it rains, as the “flooring is smooth broken tile”, and uneven ground. No hand rails for any of the stairs or ramps, inclines. The bar staff was not personable.

There was one person that stands out that was amazing, when we did go to the restaurant, there was one server that learned our name and remembered it the first time, she was very personable.

It’s within walking distance to many places, but walk at own risk, there is no sidewalks.
The transit to sister resort is limited space so if you don’t get on the first be prepared to wait for the second one. It’s not right away. We took a taxi, however that can become very costly.

It’s a very low key peaceful place, if you are looking for lively action, not the place I would suggest. If you have mobility or balance issues definitely don’t recommend.

This resort was small and personal. Great for my autistic daughter who loved having all amenities close and a short walk. The cliffs are gorgeous and amazing to snorkel from. There is no beach directly on site only the cliff entrances to the ocean. We got all inclusive, The food was buffet style, usually about 4-5 foods to choose from, wonderful, good balance of local flavours, catered well to vegetarians. Not a massive buffet and might be trickier for kids. There was music 2/3 nights we stayed, one of them was fabulous. The drinks are VERY STRONG! Lol. The rooms are somewhat run down

Room was relatively clean and the staff was friendly but the property was not at all what we expected.

The dining room felt like an old supper club, nearly all vegetation on the property was dead, the surfaces near the cliffs were extremely worn, some of the patio furniture and day beds were completely rotted.

This property needs some serious TLC and updating.

Sea view room was good just some small things needed some attention. Can't speak for other rooms. Small older resort that was very quiet for the most part but the road in front of the resort is loud during the day. Staff was great. Not your typical resort for food. the cooks handled all the food and you didn't have a big buffet with cold food setting out getting cold. A picky eater may not like it but our group thought it was all good and was a nice change from the large resorts.They have another resort with a beach that can be a little crowded.

This is not an all inclusive for one you eat at certain times like a prisoner. Limited selection and have to wait in line to eat like you are receiving free lunch at a soup kitchen. The pool was dirty and hotel was so run down it’s comparable to what you would think a cheap hourly no tell motel the beds are hard it’s beyond run down pictures are definitely deceiving.

The room was clean and well maintained daily.
We didn't have any face clothes (wash clothes) during our 3 day stay. We had sufficient towels.

We ate at the on-site restaurant on 3 occasions during our stay. We had 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner. The breakfast and lunch were okay.We were, however, disappointed with dinner. It wasn't up to the usual standard we are accustomed to from local restaurants in Negril. We opted to eat out for the remainder of the meals in restaurants that were known to us.

Overall we had a good experience and would recommend this hotel to anyone who wanted to experience the west end (cliffs) of Negril.

As soon as we got there I asked the receptionist if I could cancel and get a refund. There was nothing to do there no entertainment and just a dry place to stay. It’s more like a hotel to just stay an overnight in. Don’t waste your time and money. Please I beg you!!!!

Was a long transfer but he was our personal guide and taught us so much of the country and culture. From start to finish we were treated like family.
