The property is a gem. I love the water & pool-view from my room. The room is nice and spacious. The food at the restaurant is delicious. You have the option of buffet and it didn’t disappoint. Samsara is definitely on my favourite list ..

The parking was an issue. I had a late night. No space was available. There was a motorbike in a parking spot which was the only spot. When I said it to the security he responding that I can moved it. When I asked him if I was expected to move the motorbike, he came and removed it and gave us the parking. Food was good. Room was clean.

It may not have as many bells and whistles as some other resorts , but what it does offer is a comfortable family like setting where you get to know the employees and they get to know you and seen genuinely nice. So there may be a little things that could’ve been updated in my room… It was comfortable and clean and provided a great view. Little things like shampoo or conditioner or body wash would’ve been nice to have in the room and a hairdryer… But they did provide one… No USB port so make sure you bring a plug/usb port Honestly, though… None of that mattered because the people were so great the breakfast buffet… The pools… I enjoy, jumping off the cliffs… The resident cat, Ginger, is such a sweetie pie. I would definitely go back in a heartbeat…

They fool us does not look anything like the property on the website before booking. Especially it’s a birthday gateway and don’t like how did deluxe was separated from the other side. It’s how they made. This resort was not what we expected. We expected high expectation from this resort. Overall, I can see the staff were very friendly, but the property itself needs to be clean. A maintenance need to prioritize with timing with returning all clean stuff together instead of being separated. If you were looking for a bougie place, this is not a place for you. This is just a place to stay and leave the resort to other places to do your activities in exclusion.

Amazing view. Kind staff. Good food. Firm beds. Nice pool. Comfortable loungers. Beautiful ocean. Good open air massages. This boutique hotel is not for someone looking to be waited on hand and foot. If you want to be left alone to relax and unwind, Samsara is perfect. Staff is there when you need them but you can spend the whole day on the cliffs, sun bathing, diving from the cliffs, swimming, snorkeling and reading and not have to interact with anyone other than your party. It's a mini paradise.

It was quaint. But did not live up to their photos. Have you ever even looked? There was no coconut shrimp, No outdoor seating with tablecloths and napkins.it said all inclusive but the choices were few. Best meal of the day was breakfast. there were no snacks. We had our grandchildren. they ate very little. One night they got fettuccine from the menu. It was $30. Cost wise it was comparable to other places. but once we got there it was not comparable. The dining staff and bar staff were so very friendly. I tripped over a towel they had on the walkway. Cracked a rib. Management never came to check on me. Nor was there an accident report to fill out.The best thing about it was time spent with family. And that we could have done cheaper and eaten better at home.

The property itself is very dated. We were in an “upgraded” room with ocean view and it needed major updates. The cracks around the doors were so large you could see outside and hear everything. There’s no outlets in the bathroom. There’s cats everywhere. We paid for “all inclusive” and it is not an all inclusive resort. You can eat as much as you want of the 5 things they fix each meal but that’s it. Only during very strict hours. There’s no room service. There’s no grabbing a bite to eat when you’re hungry. You eat during 2 hr blocks of time and no choice on the meal. The rooms were actually dirty and gross. You only get two towels. When you ask to swap towels, they tell you they don’t have any. If you ask for anything and they don’t feel like getting it, the answer is that they are out. There’s no air conditioning in the only restaurant and you must sweat to eat otherwise you have to carry your food down a flight of steps. This resort is not handicap accessible at all nor is it kid friendly. The only good thing about this vacation was the view, the ocean and maybe 2 or 3 people were nice. I could keep going but I see no point. I have tons of pictures and can only submit 8.

I chose this property because I wanted peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of Montego Bay and it definitely delivered on that! The grounds were tranquil and the staff respected our space, which we appreciated. After arriving from the airport, the kitchen even allowed us to have a quick snack before dinner, which was a nice touch. We loved keeping our Stanley cups filled the whole trip, and we used the free shuttle to Legends for beach time, which was really enjoyable. However, we did find the cost of taxi rides pretty steep most places charged at least $100 USD one way, which made exploring a bit pricey. Next time, I’ll likely choose a resort closer to the attractions with more on-site amenities. We anticipated seeing the live band on thursday but there was no band. We were told it changed to Friday. The all-inclusive option was okay, though drink choices were limited to juice and water unless you purchased from the menu. Also, a tip: if you take food back to your room, be sure to eat and discard the trash quicklyants can become an issue. All in all, a peaceful stay that served its purpose, but a few lessons learned for next time!
