The kitchen and bar staff were friendly. However they downgraded us from a bungalow with a King bed and porch with a hammock, to a small room with a double bed and a twin, no hammock and a courtyard view. When I asked for the too. I booked and paid for they insisted it was an upgrade because of the Ocean View, it was not an ocean view or an upgrade. My friends who checked in after I did received their bungalow. The front desk finally agreed to give me the room I booked and paid for the next day because the housekeeping staff were gone. Next day comes and they said they over booked and I wouldn’t receive my bungalow until my last night. Again insisting my smaller room with smaller beds and courtyard view was an upgrade, as if I didn’t see the much nicer bungalows. No discount was offered. It would be a five star rating had I received the bungalow I booked and paid for.

Please update linens, towels, spreads, beach towels! All from last century. Otherwise, charming in an old school way! Great for a photo shoot of the way life used to be. Love the pool table and library. Found Garcia Marquez on the shelf and chilled. It is accidentally Wes Anderson. Bummer that no fresh fruit is available at the bar for tasty rum punches, no ginger beer either! Poor selection. Best part: lovely, kind, helpful and very hard working staff. Samsara needs to work with West End community to rebuild the wall too close to the road and create a pedestrian walkway, ie sidewalk from town to Rick’s. The West End Road might as well be renamed the Road of Death! JTB, Parish reps, please do something. Ironic to find a car windscreen roadkill a few yards west of Samsara, plus an auto body at the next corner…really could be so much better! West End Road unsafe for bicycles and pedestrians. Day or night.

The Samsara

Everything you could ask for in a resort. My wife and I brought our 3 sons (13, 15 and 20) and felt safe the entire time. Got to know the entire staff by name throughout the week...Tina, George, Jason and Norman were great! We were able to jump from the cliffs into the ocean from the resort and caught multiple Amberjacks (as large as 12 lbs) right from the wall of the resort each evening. The Samsara exceeded our expectations!

Samsara Clif Resort exceeded my expectations. When I arrived i was a bit taken aback by the outside but once we entered the property, the amazement hit us. The staff were super courteous and made us feel like royalty. Our room was amazing and the view was breathless. This is a couples paradise. guests get to experience Jamaica within an all inclusive package. authentic Jamaican cuisine and music are enjoyed daily. the staff throughout the property are naturally courteous and friendly. we called to the front desk for extra soap and there was a knock at the door with the soap by the time I put down the phone. Customer service at this resort is on fleek.

The other guests at this resort were also so welcoming- we had such a great time enjoying the crystal blue water with new friends.

This small resort along the Negril cliffs has three pools as well as over 10 ladders down to the sea and many locations to dive from the cliffs. If you don’t like diving from the cliffs Samsara guests can use the sister resort Legends at the fantastic Negril beach. Beaches are public in Jamaica so the cliffs offered a quiet option that we enjoyed. There are 3 different grades of rooms beginning with bungalows in the woods which offer lots of shaded areas and walkways to very modern rooms which face the ocean. 59 of the 70 or so rooms face the ocean. There are a lot of dining options in the area many of which are a short walk. The all inclusive option has lots of drink selection however the only beer is Red Stripe draft. The meals are well prepared particularly breakfast and dinner. Dinner offers Jamaican dishes with the choice of fish, chicken and pork or beef. The coffee is excellent! What sets this place apart from the many resorts we’ve stayed at was the staff, we can’t say enough great things about the people that work here; it doesn’t matter what their role is my wife and I were always greeted with a smile and genuine hospitality. They gave great information on local activities and places to go.

I liked the cliffs you could jump off of at the resort. However, we would not go back mainly because there were so many people smoking up at the resort (both Samsara and Legends) that it was hard to find a spot where we were not smelling it. This was especially the case at the Legends sister hotel beach spot where people were constantly smoking up and you could not get away from it as the chairs were jam packed together. Legends beach spot also had only a few umbrellas for shade. People staying at Legends got up early to secure a chair with an umbrella so by the time the shuttle from the Samsara Cliff Resort got there, there was no possibility of a chair with any shade. The shuttle only went once in the day leaving Samsara Cliff Resort at 10am and returned from Legends at 4pm. You could get your own cab ride back. We did a glass bottom snorkeling trip with Captain Carl's to the reef near Booby Cay. They left from beside Legend's at 10:30am returning around 1pm. It was well worth it. The fish we saw while snorkeling were fantastic. We did the all inclusive which we didn't know had specific times you could eat- Breakfast 8-10am, Lunch 12-2pm, and dinner was late at 7-10(?)pm. All-inclusive was buffet only. The main course food was generally pretty good but there was only one thing for dessert, mostly vanilla cake, sometimes coconut cake, and only once chocolate cake...so a dessert disaster in my opinion because I like desserts :)

We’ve been here 4 or 5 times now (we’ve been coming to Jamaica for almost 20 years). We like to split our trips up by spending time in both the cliffs, and on the beach. This is always our first choice on the cliffs. Beautiful view, quiet, and it’s a convenient stroll to some local hangouts that we like to go to (PeWee’s, No Limit Bar, X-Tabi, etc.). Decent food available at Samsara, and good food across the road, plus your jerk chicken guys nearby on the road. We like to relax, jump off the cliff, snorkel… drink too much rum… All the good stuff!
