Samsara Cliff Resort

Room in the new building was beautiful. Incredible views. The staff is excellent. The food is great as I love local fare. I opted for the all-inclusive which I may not do next time as the drinks are not as good, the house liquor is very weak. But the staff is the best!!

Love the staff - so friendly. Beautiful view - we stayed on the newer side of the property. The rooms were ICE cold! Buffet was good - good variety of foods - we did the all-inclusive - be aware that there is only one restaurant on the property and the all-inclusive option is a buffet - plenty of food to eat and we were satisfied with the food We did some cliff jumping right off the edge of the property, which was fun - we brought snorkeling gear as well that we used along the cliffs We spent one 1/2 day at the Legends, the sister property, along 7 mile beach - nice change for the day - note though that there is a small area for sitting on the beach for Legends, but they did have chairs you could use - you could also eat the buffet at Legends as well if you are part of the all-inclusive If you are staying at Samsara for more than a few days, I would suggest doing some excursions to break up the day - not much to do at the resort unless you just want to lounge at the pool all day. We drove to YS Falls and did the Black River Cruise. Also went to Blue Hole. Suggest you go to Patsy’s for ice cream - I think we went there 4 times during the week - just a few minutes away from Samsara. We ate at Ivan’s one night for dinner - fantastic! We also went to Rick’s cafe to watch the high dive cliff jumping. We also rented a car at the airport, which gave us flexibility to come and go - much better and cheaper than renting taxis - super expensive this way - for example, they were charging $100 for 2 people for a round trip to Blue Hole (30 minutes away). We had a group of 8, which would have been $400 - NO thank you! The rental car is so worth it but beware of the POT HOLES!! They are everywhere - be careful.

This place has it all. We never left. We never had to. We were so unbelievably happy there. There was no need. Stunning from every space. The water incredible. Able to jump off of cliffs into the ocean and snorkel right there. The staff was incredible. The food was delicious and authentic and the ambience Was just complete and total serene relaxation. I could not be happier about our stay at Samsara resort. We had full inclusive, and we took a deluxe Room Sea VŪZ. It was so comfortable in the room. Nice and cool. They cleaned it daily and it was impeccable. The bathroom was fantastic. The water was hot! The buffet style breakfast lunch, and dinner allowed for everyone to find something delicious. The staff was so sweet. I would list all their names but in fear of forgetting someone I won’t. I love them all. This was an incredible surprise. Honestly didn’t know what to expect and it blew my expectations away. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.! They arranged a driver for us that met us at the airport with a sign and took us directly to the resort. I highly suggest you ask for Junior if you want a driver. He was great! And he’s happy to arrange for taking you to excursions, Rick‘s Café, all the places that the area is known for. One last thing… Our flight LANDED at 12:30. We landed, were at the resort, had a cocktail in my hand and had already had lunch by 3:30. This resort is about two hours away. They arranged a late lunch for us. Yeah, we went through customs! And I didn’t do the club mobay because it was sold out. (And also clearly not needed. Customs was quick.! fill out form online first.) I can’t wait to go back! Also, the Wi-Fi was terrific. Sadly, I had to work a bit, but honestly, there was nothing negative about this place. It was my daughter and I and we felt safe and loved here!!

The pools (three of them) were Amazing, one was super fun to swim in as it went from 3 ft to 8ft with proper demarcations and all, there were enough chairs and chill spots for everyone, the garden was a lovely, the buildings were renovated on the inside and there was a completely new side, the restaurant was rustic and homely, the entire property gets a solid 8.5 or 9 out of ten for me, kissing marks for things insignificant such as very places needing fresh paint or a piece of board that may needs to be changed but the property was really good.

The location was an absolute dream and the staff was super helpful. Just the fact that we are able to snorkel at our own leisure is a such a bargain with how much you’ll end up spend on a catamaran excursion to snorkel
