This is our 4th time in Negril and staying at the beautiful Samsara! From the moment you arrive you are greeted by the lovely ladies at the front desk. The staff at this resort treat you like family! The first time we went was in 2017 and all the staff are the same. From the gentleman that helps you cross the street to the Gardner to Marcia and Tina in the bar to George the everything man to Georgia who will make you the best eggs you have ever had to the wait staff in the restaurant….everyone of them will treat you like family. Warm, kind and welcoming. The resort is clean, the food is homemade and delicious and the location is stunning. Gorgeous cliffs with incredible ocean views. It is quiet, safe and relaxing. It feels like our second home and we would never stay anywhere else in Negril. We took our 7 yr old Grandson this last visit and he had a blast! Jumping off the cliffs, snorkeling, swimming in the pool and ordering pina coladas from the ladies at the bar. He was treated like family and we had a wonderful holiday knowing he was safe and welcomed. We were very sad to leave and can’t wait to return next year! This is a hidden gem, if you prefer to relax, enjoy gorgeous sunsets in your own little slice of heaven, book Samsara. You will not be disappointed.

Booked through Expedia at an all inclusive rate with hotels and flights. Two weeks before the trip I got a cancellation for the hotel out of the blue. When I called they said it was cancelled because they could get more money for the room. It ended up costing another $500 to re-book. Got to hotel they charged me $300 for taxes and fees that were on the Expedia booking already. When I went to the room it was very dated and smelled horrible. I could not stay there. It cost me another $250 to upgrade my room. FINE!!!! I was stuck what choice did I have. Being in the room for the first night and had toiletries in the bathroom woke up to ants all over the counter and my personal items. Told the front desk and it fell on deaf ears. I put then in my clothing bag on the desk...ants were all over the desk and my clothes. I had to take my toiletries with me and shake out my clothes daily to make sure ants were not on my clothes. Not a fun time paying $950 extra for my trip and having so many issues.

Truly enjoying this bit of paradise honestly wouldn’t stay anywhere else now I’ve been here ???????? see you next year Rox &Leyton

After visiting the bigger resorts of Jamaica, this was a refreshing change, quiet, relaxing, amazing views from our balcony. Proper home cooked Jamaican food. The staff were very attentive and made you feel part of the family. We will definitely come back and highly recommended this hotel

Thank you Sabrina for saving the day for my grandson who was having a rainy vacation. The staff is pleasant, caring, attentive and helpful. They went all out to ensure we were comfortable. The kitchen, bar, and front desk staff were exceptional. Mr. Reid, Marcia and Davia are three names I can recall, they constantly fill our needs. In general, all the staff I encountered were great people who ensured we had a good stay. I was in a Seaview room and it had most of the amenities that were expected. The view was breath taking and the room clean. The garden experience along with the splashing waves against the cliff just topped off the tranquil feeling of peace and harmony with nature. The shuttle service to the sister resort, The Ledgend, to enjoy the lovely beach just topped off a great experience. I will certainly recommend this resort, but be sure to remind my contacts that it is a smaller resort that does not have the vast variety of food and entertainment like the big all inclusive resorts. The food was good and authentic, something I would say is a prime focus of this resort. The setting also caters for family and you get that home away from home feeling. Tip: consider extending the meal times to prevent overcrowding in the dining room. Also, extending the bar hours to enjoy the night breeze from the sea and listen the waves while having drinks after dinner
