Gem of a Resort

I love this resort!! I spent 3 weeks travelling solo and the moment I stepped out of my cab I was spoilt. Bruno met me ar the front desk and brought me a cocktail right away . Bruno thank you so much for always keeping my wine glass full and greeting me with kindness and that great smile . Salvador , you are Fabulous. You went out of your way everyday for all the guests. A true gentleman. All the staff is wonderful .Best service I have ever had travelling . I wish I could put everyones name down. The grounds are beautifully kept , The pool is very nice and clean . The beach is beautiful and there was never an issue getting a lounger . Rooms were clean and the bed was very comfy with big pillows. Food was very good lots to choose from . Thank you Samba for making my vacation so memorable. See you in 2025.!!!

This resort is such a disappointment. Rooms were dated. Not given the ocean view room we paid for. Food was bland without much variety. Service was indifferent. No real activities to speak of. The only plus is the beach. Wide, nice stretch of beach with decent swimmable water.
Thank you samba

Amazing experience. The staff is beyond amazing. Two particulars that really stood out was Antonio , he is the best and most helpful bellhop ever. Victor I will miss his smile and friendliness. The hotel is older but we'll maintained. Alma my housekeeper is so friendly and goes above and beyond. Thank you to all the staff of the Samba Vallarta for making the last 2 weeks a wonderful time.
Fantastic value for money

Expectations were fairly low for an all inclusive on the lower end of the price range. While beautifully painted & maintained, if you look closely you can see it is an older building with rusting fittings, mirror de-silvering etc, lack of plugs and apart from very poor sound insulation from your neighbors TV, snoring or any "activity", those are the only negatives. Our room was very clean, spacious & comfortable and the whole hotel was being cleaned all the time. Large well designed pool area and easy beach access. Beautiful beach with a bar on the sand, though the sea is too rough for kids and weak swimmers. Three restaurants, the Italian & Mexican a la carte options are free, just need to be booked and are well worth it. The La Mexicana beach bar is very nice and you can get basic fast food through the afternoon for lunch, unfortunately you cant take it away to your lounger & have to eat there. No ice cream machine like many similar places we've been to. The main buffet is overall good, many same dishes every day, but there is so much variety it is not a problem & generally well replenished & kept warm. At breakfast, cereal only seemed to cater to kids tastes. Service is exemplary here and throughout the hotel. It is a good hour drive to old town PVR via taxi which bear in mind, it is quite a bit north. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend for an affordable stay as long as you are not expecting a high end facility
