TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

My husband and I spent 9 wonderful days at SamSara Cliff resort. We are fans of snorkeling - and the resort provodes 100% ability for snorkeling just from the shore. BTW: Cliff resort has no sand beach - they provide free shuttle (about 10 min ride) to sister_resort "Legend" - where your all-inclusive bracelet gives you all rights for lunch, drinks, etc. But the Cliff resort has very convenient steps and leathers to get back from the water. Very nice 2 pools - and absolutely no problem to find a beach chair in a shadow. the Cliff resort was no crowded at all (probably, because resent hurragane scared tourists - but at the day we arrived (Dec 8) it 100% functional. I liked there was no loud music by the pools - quet and peaceful. The resort clearness is awesome! and same is friendless and careness of the team. My special thanks to Kendrick, Marcia Tina, Donnel Nadine Dorette - they made our stay really relaxing. The food was very fresh and tasty (while not very diversitive: 5 hot dishes, 1 salad, 1 decert and fruit). However, I personally was completely satisfied. Also, I was suprized to know that wine is not included in the all-inclusive list (but do not be scared to stay dry: rum, vodka, whiskey, gin in any cocktail combination with no restriction... and beer, of cource :)) The reefs are beautiful - we snorkeled 2 times for 1.5 hours each every day. The water temperature was just perfect - about 29C (84F) Overall, I'm very satisfied with our stay at the resort.

Hands down one of the real ones in Negril. Samsara isn’t some soulless mega-resort pretending to be Jamaica. It’s the old-school Negril vibe done right—laid-back, personal, and effortlessly cool. Perched on the cliffs, the views are unreal. Sunsets hit different here. No filter needed. The staff? Absolute pros. Warm, attentive, and actually care that you’re having a good stay—not the fake smile routine. You feel like a guest, not a room number. Rooms are clean, comfortable, and exactly what you want in Negril: simple, breezy, and functional. If you’re expecting Vegas luxury, you’re missing the point. This place respects tradition—relaxation first, noise second. The food and drinks are solid, and the vibe around the pool and cliffs is elite. Jumping into the ocean from the cliffs is a core memory kind of experience. Plus, being able to access the beach at their sister property is clutch. Bottom line: Samsara is for people who actually get Negril. Calm, authentic, and timeless. If you want peace, views, and real Jamaican hospitality, this is it. No notes.

Samsara is a beautiful affordable resort this is my 4th stay the rooms are beautiful the atmosphere is so calm and kids friendly the pools are so clean and beautiful the staff are so friendly and Jennifer at the front desk is so irie and artical and there is always transportation available at a reasonable cost 10/10??????????
