“loved the beautiful views, peaceful atmosphere, and overall vibe of Samsara Cliff Resort. Overall, it was a lovely place”
+It was the perfect place to relax, enjoy the scenery, and celebrate my birthday. The cliffside setting and ocean views made the property stand out to me, and I loved the idea of having a relaxing getaway in such a beautiful location.
−The main thing I didn’t like was that the sea was rough during my stay, which is understandable and beyond the resort’s control. Because of this, I also didn’t get the opportunity to dine by the sea cliff as I had hoped. I was looking forward to that experience, especially since it was for my birthday, so that was a bit disappointing. Otherwise, I appreciate that the sea conditions are unpredictable and not something the property can control.

“Come for the views, stay for the rum punch and helpful staff”
+The staff are incredible and really make the experience memorable. Tina behind the bar and Georgia who does all the cooking and serving at the buffet stood out as star employees. We enjoyed the food and drinks, access to cliff swimming and infintiy pool. We stayed in the newer building and loved the view and access to the grounds. The grounds are nice, but some of the outdoor furniture could use replacing/maintence. We also would have liked easier access to eat outside. There are tables but no real procedure to get service out there, making getting things like water, salt/pepper and condiments difficult.
−had an issue with housekeeping not making bed correctly, giving attidue when we asked for it to be corrected, and several times did not have enough towels to replenish with basic room needs (not extra requests). This was extermly frustrating as the hotel was empty, only had about 12 rooms occupied. Our shower never had hot water, even after reporting the issue to maintence multiple times. We also had a discrepency in our room charges which was minmal but never got resolved. The sister property we found a bit rundown and the beach chairs were mostly broken and tightly packed together on the small beach. We didn't stay for the day, opting to go back to the cliffs after about an hour.

“Amazing location that is both affordable and beautiful combined with the amazing staff. It’s a very good deal.”
+The property was absolutely stunning and more than I expected. The receptionist that greeted us was very warm and welcoming. I got the exact location I paid for and the views were to die for. It‘s very peaceful, calm and relaxing.
−The food wasn’t as great as expected, but it was OK, I have a very local taste so so my review on the food might be biased.

“Overall the stay did its purpose; provided a layover. However too price for the very limited service and accessories.”
+The scenery from the cliff is excellent. The game room is a plus.
−The parking on the deep corner and across from a section of the resort. No microwave or refrigerator in the room for a non inclusive resort.

“Didn’t start of great but selected staff tried their to make our stay comfortable.”
+Staff Sancia was great. Breakfast ok. Original Room given was dirty no fridge, didn’t smell great. However the staff addressed this immediately and got us an upgraded from. Hotel could do with updating. Sun loungers were not in great condition the basic rooms are like stepping back in 80s Jamaica
−Outdated facilities, lack of passion, staff act as though they’re being forced to be there.

“Simply Lovely!”
+We loved the garden side cottage room setting. Very pretty gardens and the hammock was a great feature. It's a quiet area and you cannot hear too much traffic, it's a lovely place to sit and appreciate nature. The staff were so friendly and accommodating from the receptionists to the bar staff and especially the staff in the dinning room/restaurant. The rooms were clean and the air conditioning was really effective. The rooms are simple in terms of facilities (no coffee machine/mini fridge etc) but they are as advertised and photographed so you know what to expect. The breakfast buffet was perfect for us, Jamaican food options daily! We were not all inclusive but we did have a few evening meals in the restaurant, we opted for meals from the menu rather than the buffet. Prices were reasonable for Negril dining and the dishes we had were delicious. Wait time was on average 30mins which is pretty standard in Jamaica. The cliff top views were amazing and the grounds were well kept. The pool was great to cool off in and was next to the bar area, there were no lounge chairs whilst we were there. It was great that they have a shuttle bus down to the partner hotel Legends which is down on
−The room we stayed in was lovely except for the fact that the bathroom isn't fully enclosed (it has an open ceiling) meaning that at times we had to coordinate with each other for complete bathroom privacy! The main dining area has a great view and a good atmosphere, it would be great if it had air conditioning in there. It was low season and the reggae band were good but it would be great if they had an additional evening entertainment offer once a week too.
