Samsara Cliff Resort

Im not sure where to start as I enjoyed our holiday but I think it could have easily been made better Staff- amazing - friendly - caring and happy to help Our room - Basic but lovely - comfortable bed-and nice bathroom- no coffee or tea making facilities-limited towels- but spotlessly clean Food - beautifully cooked and Jamaican- but very limited choice Breakfast - lovely - cooked eggs how you wanted them freshly for you Perhaps offer Chips or bread rolls at dinner Perhaps tell all inclusive people they can buy food off another menu (pizza chips etc) at a reasonable price Bar- open 10:00 till 22:00 staff lovely and drinks OK. Entertainment - only a couple of times a week but good Views- amazing !!! Pools - three- nice and clean Hotel- hotel of two halves - our side lovely - other side very dated Reception- like stepping back in time ! Very Jamacian- staff lovely and very friendly and helpfull Shuttle bus to Legends: useful but even though at 10:00 and 16:00 - not really enough times a day - perhaps one at 12:00 as well- Once you get to Legends (don't expect too much!) Location brilliant and can walk down 7 mile beach

Exceptional Service from Tina at the Samsara Bar I had an amazing experience at Samsara in Negril, and I have to give a special shout‑out to Tina, the bartender. Her energy is infectious — always smiling, always welcoming, and genuinely happy to see guests. What really impressed me was that after five days, she still remembered my name. That small gesture made me feel right at home and showed how much she truly cares about the people she serves. Tina is a standout member of the Samsara team, and she made my stay even more memorable. If you’re visiting, make sure to stop by the bar and say hi — she’s the best.

Reception Staff were lovely as was Georgia at breakfast. Lovely little boutique hotel, stunning views, great location.

We were in rooms that were very dated, bed was not comfortable and unfortunately a serious towel shortage (but this is understandable only a couple of months since Hurricane Melissa. My advice bring your own beach towels from home.

The staff were great

Bathroom was poorly managed. Toilet did not work well, pipes had rust on it.

Excelent

I liked the hospitality of the staff, the simplicity of the service, also I liked the location and its seclusion. The ability to visit Seven Mile Beach was a plus for my kids who didn’t feel entirely comfortable swimming near cliffs.

If you are looking for a budget friendly resort this is it. I would recommend this resort for staff but not for dining, drinks, or location. First, they do not provide towels for the beach or outside area only bathing, and everytime they cleaned our room they took the towels and didn't replace. We had to go ask front desk to get more towels and wash clothes. The food was flavorful but not much variety. I don't eat many carbs and breakfast was mainly all carbs unless I ordered eggs. Lunch was the same rotation of food, tuna sandwich, chicken salad sandwich, burger, just not the variety we are use to from an all inclusive resort. If it wasn't for the staff I wouldn't recommend this resort at all. They went out of their way to get to know our names and make us feel welcome. One of the owners was there working with the staff and he was very friendly and spoke everytime he saw us. Our room was just off the roadway so it was a little noisy when traffic was going by regularly. Most rooms had small refrigerators but they were not stocked with anything. There was a store a few yards away where you could buy items for your room if you liked. It was on the cliff so no beach if you wanted to sit on the beach they offered a shuttle service for their sister resort Legends form 10 am until 4pm so you could relax on a beach. There is only one restaurant and one bar but the resort is small and charming.
