It's a nice place. Quiet and private. Not much to do on the property but swim and jump off cliffs. But 3 pools and some great ocean made daily swimming fun. The rocks and coral right off the shore are great to snorkel on, saw octopus eel stingray fish urchins and soft corals. We were there the first day they opened after a long covid caused down time, so it was almost empty of people, but the staff were all very nice. Food and service were good, not fancy but well done. No sailboat or beach so if you want the all inclusive tourist thing do the Sandals or Beaches place. I prefer the cliffs and family run atmosphere. The beach is 2 miles away, we did that 2 days and it was nice, but just a beach. For me, waking at 7 and going from the room to the water and just immediately being in a beautiful clear deep reef is much better than staying on a crowded bland beach.

Thank you for this 5-Star review, we’re very happy to learn you enjoyed your Samsara experience! For those who prefer the beach, our sister hotel just a short shuttle ride away offers access to 7-Mile Beach, voted one of the world’s top ten beaches. But we were very happy to have been of service at the Samsara Cliff Hotel on the occasion of our reopening following months of remodeling work. Thank you for a great review and thank you for choosing to stay with us at Samsara.

DONT BOOK UNTIL YOU READ THIS I booked my stat thru Travelocity. It was bundled with my flight. I booked it 3 weeks out, so I thought $613 for flight and all inclusive was great. When we arrived, we were told we did not have the all inclusive package. So Samsara is not FULLY all inclusive. 1. You must ADD all inclusive when selecting your room options. 2. You will be charged $100 for deposit even though you already paid 3. Their are no snacks included. It says it, but it's not. You only at very stretched out times. 4. Buffet includes 4-5 main items, salad, and fruit. Not a lot of options. Those that are vegan, don't stay here. 5. Chez Maurice and Ciao Jamaica are not restaurants that are included. 6. All inclusive only includes their rum, vodka, and beer. No wine, no Tequila, and no champagne. 7. The shuttle is NOT 100% free. The shuttle is only free twice a day at certain times. Otherwise they charge you per trip per person. 8. NO SNORKELING EXCURSION! That's a lie. 9. NO SCUBA DIVING EXCURSION. That's a lie. 10. Bathrooms are outdated and small. 11. No lotion, shampoo, conditioner, or amenities provided. Bring your own and your own beach towel. Now I liked the authentic look and feel of the resort. Very colorful and beautiful plants. The surrounding area is a very poor neighborhood, so not glamorous, but authentic to the country. Taxis pass often so you can get a ride. 12. Only ride in RED PLATE TAXIS for safety.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are pleased that you liked the ambiance of our little family-owned hotel, and the well-loved gardens we tend. We regret the confusion over whether you had booked all-inclusive and were pleased to be able to add that on upon arrival. We aren’t entirely sure where you might have seen that we provide snorkeling and scuba diving excursions—as you noted we do not but our front desk staff are happy to help you book any excursions you want. The rest of the information that you’ve noted here is all stated on Travelocity and on our website. People who are on special diets are encouraged to contact us ahead of their visit so we can assist with special requests. We understand it is not always possible to meet expectations and we wish you all the best in finding a hotel more to your liking when you next return to Negril.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback with your concerns. Please note that the local power company Jamaica Public Service experienced power outages affecting the entire town of Negril during your stay which is unfortunately beyond the control of our hotel. Although our backup generator supplies power to the hotel, it cannot power air conditioning units or the laundry machines, and we can’t make much ice. There was free cold water available at the bar though, in a large insulated jug—we apologize that you missed out on that information. We hope you give our hotel another try sometime when the power is working, and thank you for your visit this time.

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.

Good for am snorkeling, no night life.

Pros: see above
Cons: see above
Location: see qbove
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).
