Guest reviews for Samsara Resort
The property was nice, but needs a lot of upgrades. You have to watch your step when walking out of the room if you're staying in the upper cliff buildings. Lots of uneven steps around this property. Lack of authentic Jamaican foods there. Everything is not all inclusive there either. This hotel is about 30 minutes from the seven mile beaches. No beach here, just one pool here and 1 kids pool. You can jump into the water off the cliffs here. The staff is nice, the times when you eat are spaced out. Breakfast 8-10 Lunch 12-2pm and dinner 8-10 pm. Lack of towels and wash cloths as well and the water pressure here is not good. The toilet stops up also. The rooms need celling fans, because the A/C unit wasn't working that great. The one bar closed at 10pm once dinner was over. There is nothing to drink or eat from this place after that. We paid for all inclusive and we had to go the the local store to buy drinks and food to bring back to the room. No mini refrigerator in rooms either.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review! We appreciate your feedback about our little family-owned hotel but we would like to know which room you stayed in, and if you reported the A/C and bathroom issues to the front desk. We generally respond to maintenance requests promptly, so if you could PM us your room number so we can investigate, we would really appreciate it! We are actually only 15 minutes by taxi from 7-Mile Beach – and we offer a free daily shuttle to our sister hotel Legends, on the beach. And just for clarification, dinner hours are 7 to 9pm. :) We are delighted that you found our staff to be nice and friendly, we are known for having the friendliest staff in Negril. Regretfully, it seems that Samara was not a good fit for you, so we wish you all the best as you look for another place to stay while visiting the lovely Negril.
The bungalow we had was ocean front which was beautiful. The lack of updating was very apparent. No outlets in bathroom. No blow dryer, no coffee in room. No complimentary shampoo or conditioner. No cups. No beach towels. Toilet back up constantly. Food was just okay and not a variety. A lot of steps throughout resort. Phone did not work so couldn’t call front desk or anyone for that matter. No bottled water unless you pay. Staff was friendly was one positive thing.

Thank you for the 3 stars and your review. We are known for having the friendliest staff in Negril, so we’re grateful you found that to be a positive experience at our little family-owned hotel. We generally respond to maintenance requests promptly, so we’d like to investigate what happened with your phone and the toilet. Please PM us your room number if you would, that would be very helpful. It is true that we don’t provide much in the way of amenities, mostly to keep our prices down. Since we’re on an island, nearly everything has to be imported. We do try to let everyone know in advance what they need to bring with them, and we apologize if somehow we missed letting you know what to expect. For future reference, you can borrow a hair dryer from the front desk, and the tap water in Jamaica is completely safe to drink. Thank you for choosing Samsara, and we hope you’ll try us again sometime but if not, we understand and wish you all the best.

Sister resort to LEGENDS... Samsara is better choice. Has more privacy, cleaner, more cordial/pleasant staff. Food is SUB-PAR! All inclusive drinks, not so great. Positive is no higglers trying to rip you off constantly for "whatever"... Better to stay at Samsara and voyage over to Legends if you wanna see what seven mile beach is like. (One day is enough). Across the street to Times Sq Mall: typical tourist trap. Locals big hassle too. AVOID the Sat Nite Reggae "concert" next door. Scary, ripoff, almost bullied. Dont go there.
Do go to "three-dives" restaurant ab 1/2 mile from Samsara. You can walk to it. GREAT local food...SAFE. Reasonable priced...memorable. The Italian Rest acrx fr Samsara is good for pizza too. Be forewarned, when Samsara staff goes home for the night, they shut off most of the lights and ur on ur own. Get food and water beforehand. I've stayed at legends and at samsara. Do yourself a favor....stay at samsara and venture out as you feel adventurous.
ps. boat trip to Booby Cay with snorkeling and lobsters on island worth it. The red "glass bottom boat" with "Kuyaba" sign, see "Captain Happy" ...tell him I said so. GREAT TIME.
Avoid Ricks Cafe.... expensive tourist trap and jumping at 40 feet dangerous. 20 feet ok for most.
Respect man. Bring lotsa one dollar bills. Dont get sucked in by the higglers. You can have fun here I did: TWICE! Just be careful.
Remember: NEVER go on the beach at night, in the dark. (no matter what).

Birthday getaway
I was alone and had great time with staff. Owner was around but only talked to the couples and eourpean guest. I was just an African American by myself on vacation and I guess I wasn't worthy enough to meet the owner.

Great location and privacy.
Pros:
The location, privacy and staff.
Cons:
The beds are only slightly softer than sleeping on the floor...(which is tiled concrete).
Location:
Plenty of room without be jammed together with other beach chairs. Many restaurants near by to walk or take a taxi to. Convenience store close by.
I have been to Jamaica over 30 times and stay in Negril at SamSara almost exclusively. I love the location on the cliffs with wonderful swimming and great privacy. The staff at the hotel have always been excellent. You are close to some of the best restaurants and bars which you can walk to or if uncomfortable with walking the West End road can easily take a taxi anywhere on the cliffs or to the beach. Do not expect a 5 star hotel but I love the intimate atmosphere.

Nice resort.
The resort is nice/relaxing and priced even better for the amount amenities available. They offer all-inclusive options and the resort staff is inviting. A shuttle is provided in to the town of Negril with access to the 7 mile beach. Please note that if you do not book/reserve an air conditioned room it is an additional cost. The rooms with a fan option only is not a good option for someone with respiratory concerns.

u get what u pay for ...
Pros:
Free Internet, Quiet
Cons:
Nothing close
the hotel is ok … they need to have more to do in it tho … they really need to specify that the rate they are offering may or may not include a room with a/c … food was ok bar .. was average … if ur considering to stay here just know that is not close to any of the action … so if what ur looking for is relaxation and not so much action or night life this might be the place for you ..

Nice basecamp for your Jamaican Vacation!
Pros:
Free breakfast, Free Internet, Quiet
I would recommend this resort! This is the perfect place to stay during your vacation in Jamaica. Negril is a prime location for vacationers and this resort offers the city of Negril and 7-mile beach to explore... however, for the stay at the resort-- it is perfect place to chill in the sun and relax in the deep ocean waters at the cliff side of the Island of Jamaica.
