Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property looked as if it was once well kept but that is not the case anymore. The pictures on the website are deceiving and make the pool amd kids park look bigger than they actually are. The first meal(dinner) was clearly the food recycled from lunch. This was confirmed when many of the same dishes were served at breakfast the next morning. As a result of this my wofe got food poisoning and was ill for two days. When I went to get water for her I was informed that bottles of water were not included with the "all-inclusive" and I was forced to pay for water for my sick wife. We decided to move to a better resort after less than 24 hours. At no point in dealing with the staff was I asked why we were leaving or offered anything resembling an apology. The resort refused any sort of refund despite the fact that we were there for less than 24 hours of a seven night stay. Needless to say do not go to this resort. It is over priced for the terrible quality.

Older property, staff was decent. Very musty on arrival, but turned on A/C and got a bit better. Room very dated and taps all leaked - some things clearly not cleaned between guests. Lights in room left much to be desired. No balcony. Beds were comfortable. Overall it was ok, no great value for the $$ paid to stay but location was good and the grounds are beautiful. Pools good. Worked for what we needed. Def a 2 maybe 2.5 star.

Our problems began when we arrived at the front desk and learned that our Expedia reservation was not acceptable. The front desk staff were unhelpful and indifferent. Only when we called for the manager did anything get resolved. We found the room and the pool area to be good. The staff were excellent and friendly. The buffet however was bland overheated and overcooked. On one occasion at the food station near the pool our hamburger was raw and had to be returned. The second attempt was also undercooked. Both of us got sick during our stay while taking all precautions. It's hard to determine the cause. The activities at the pool were good and the evening entertainment was okay. Overall we would not recommend the Samba.

The property is over 40 years old so gardens and greenery is well established and beautiful. There are many different types of birds and also many iguana's on the grounds which I think are really cool. We have used this resort for many years because it is small, the staff is awesome and it is a quiet family oriented option. we love it.

This hotel is fantastic for families with young kids. We have two kids ages 3 and 5 and the pool set up is perfect for kids of these ages (as well there are pools for older ages, I should mention). There is a shallow little kids pool and waterslide as well as a larger, slightly deeper pool and waterslide set up for the older kids. The Kids Club was also excellent with fun crafts and activities for the kids to do. Really, really nice grounds and although we only made it to one nighttime show, it was excellent and family friendly as well. Great, quiet location in Nuevo Vallarta.

This was a very family friendly resort. Lots of families with children. The pool was great for adults and children alike, the children's pool had a safe depth for younger kids. Facilities were constantly being cleaned and tidied. Very clean resort. Food was average. It's not fancy which suited us fine. Expect a lot more of traditional Mexican food vs Western food. There were theme nights at the buffet and 2 other restaurants you could book and choose from. Uortunately we did have one restraunt experience where our food was extremely salty, but I'm expecting that was a one off issue as our previous experience was better. Buffet was very busy at peak times but the staff did well at trying to keep up with replenishing food, drinks etc. This resort offers a lot of activities and has evening shows to enjoy. Expect that there will be music playing through the resort through the day so its not the quietest resort but this didn't bother us to much. The property definitely shows it's age and has some things that are falling apart. There are things that are in a bit of disrepair and one of the rooms we had booked had issues with a smell in the bathroom. It's a nice small resort though and easily navigated and isn't a long walk to your room if you forget something which is nice. Overall we enjoyed our stay and felt welcomed and safe at the resort. Location was great for beach activities, and us 30 minutes from the airport by taxi. We would stay again in the future.

The Samba is an older property, but it has been maintained well inside and outside. Caretakers work hard every day. Lots of sand sweeping, cups and garbage was pick up all the time and the pool workers were very diligent in keeping the pool clean of sand and "floaties". We loved the pool beds! A very happy lady (sad I didn't get name)washed the stairs up to our fourth floor using soap and water and a scrub broom every day! The front desk girls(Karen/Nicole)were very strict with keeping us within the Samba's rules, but always courteous. Carlos, our bellman, was so welcoming and kind! We changed rooms after checking in and he promptly delivered our bags to our new suite. Thanks Carlos! Our servers were amazing and made our meal times enjoyable - Genaro, Salvador, Ivan at the beach. The most spectacular person was Berenice, who ran the Kid's Club! Our 8 year old granddaughter went every day, just because of Bere! They formed a very special bond. She made a special going away gift for Q, which I know she will treasure, always. Thank you so much Berenice! We always found something good to eat at the buffet. Some of our group's favorites were the fresh guacamole, pico, chips, omelet station and the carrot cake! The beef and steak did not measure up (we love Canadian beef) but, we always found good options from a large selection. We look forward to visiting again. Thank you to all who made this a great vacation for our family. Group of 5 adults, one child(8 years old)
