Samsara Cliff Resort

This was our second holiday at Samsara. It did not disappoint. We had another fantastic time and will be returning in 2027. Everyone is very friendly, the food was great and drinks plentiful, and being able to use the Legends hotel on 7 mile beach was a bonus. The snorkelling from the cliffs was amazing.

Nice friendly hotel on the West End,from the singing receptionist to the attentive staff this boutique hotel is a good budget option. Shoutout to Tina on bar who always had a smile for guests. Samsara offers a free daily shuttle to the beach at sister hotel legends however it only has a small beach frontage & little space for beds better to walk to a bar offering free sunbeds. Restaurant food for AI guests is basic & drinks are local brands however a good cocktail list is included. Nice infinity pool & plenty of sunbeds to watch the sunset & the catamarans pass onto Ricks & back. Dolphins swim by regularly Best restaurants located close by easy to get there with Uber Stayed in 1005 ground floor fantastic well appointed room

We very much enjoyed our stay at Samsara Cliffs Resort. We chose this hotel in the hope of having a more authentic Jamaican experience and it didn’t disappoint. The staff were lovely and knew most of the guests by name, which gave this small resort a very friendly, open and warm atmosphere. Guests often spoke to each other and shared tips, so it felt like a nice community. My daughter needs gluten free food and when we travel we always worry, but Daniel, the chef, made her feel comfortable. He made sure every evening that two of the evening buffet choices were gluten free and he made sure she was taken care of. She got to enjoy all the homemade Jamaican jerk, stew, curry dishes and loved them all 🥰 Breakfast all had a good selection of gluten free with omelettes, hash browns and bacon being her favorites. The cocktails were strong, but good and Tina was always happy and chatty when making them 🍹 The rooms were basic, but they were clean and most had an uninterrupted sea view. We had live music a couple of evenings in the bar area. I travelled with my mother who struggled with all the steps everywhere that were not clearly visible in some places. In addition access to the sea is down ladders or by jumping in, which with limited mobility meant she could only sea swim by going over to the sister hotel, Legends, to swim at the beach. The hotel also doesn’t have lifts so if you have mobility issues this might not be a good choice. We enjoyed going to 7-mile beach at the sister hotel, Legends, but the loungers area was very cramped on the beach and the shuttle bus wasn’t big enough for everyone to fit in to get there and it only ran once a day. We much preferred the relaxed calm vibe of Samsara. Some of the sun loungers were damaged and these haven’t been removed, but there always seemed to be enough to go around so it never seemed a problem just didn’t look so nice. All bar drinks were served in paper cups that went soggy as you were drinking, but I guess it’s more fish friendly than plastic if the wind sweeps them in to the sea.

Carina molto tipica

4 giorni di pioggia e L acqua entrava fino nelle stanze dal mare

We have enjoyed every minute of our 3 week stay at The Samsara. It is not your typical All Inclusive experience. In our opinion it has all the charm of an individual hotel with the convenience of delicious ,wholesome, home cooked food and drinks on your doorstep. Yes, it is tired in places but after the effects of the hurricane that is only to be expected and does not detract from the magnificent views from its cliff side position. You feel at one with nature. Without doubt though one of the main reasons we will be coming back next year is the team of individuals who work tirelessly to give you the best experience. It is like having a big Jamaican family! The warmth of the hospitality is equal to the warmth of the sun! Thank you all - groundsmen, cleaners, bar staff, waiting staff and of course The Chefs. Keep smiling. Alan and Anne.

Very disappointing stay. I would not recommend this resort. Don’t waste your time or money .I stayed in #112 I ask for change rooms but none where available, no discount on the condition or anything 🤯 The bathroom was in horrible condition—there was a strong, unpleasant odor, black residue/mold around the tub and toilet, and the ceiling was literally falling in. It felt run-down, unsanitary, and neglected. The food was also extremely poor. Most meals were inedible, with the only decent items being the omelets at breakfast and the scalloped potatoes. Everything else was a major letdown. Drinking water was not readily available—you had to get water from a cooler instead of having bottled or accessible water, which was very inconvenient for a resort. Overall, the resort was dirty, outdated, and uncomfortable. Nothing matched what you would expect from a place advertised as a resort. I regret staying here and would not return. DONT STAY THERE ALL THE BAD REVIEWS ARE TRUEEEE‼️‼️ YUCK 🤮
