Excelent value for the price. Beautiful beach setup with chairs, beds and umbrellas. Very nice staff, good food, family oriented. Hotel is a bit outdated but kept very clean. Everyone tries to be helpful even that most of the staff dont speak English. I enjoyed beeing surrounded by the Mexicen families with very well behaved kids. Outside of the hotel is kept neet and tidy around the pool. I was just a bit disapointed by the end. We needed late checkout and I was ready to pay 1000 mx pesos what they asked for, but turned out that would be per person. So paying 300CAD to stay 2 to 3 hours more didn’t realy make sense.

I was not happy with my stay! I tried to cancel my reservations and was told No they would not accept or refund my money but when I got there to check in they put me in a room with 1 king I reserved a room with 2 queens and when I called to tell them they said the couch folds out they didnt have any other rooms available ?!?! They said they would come make the couch up and never showed I had to call them 4 hours later and wait another hour, she came in half made the bed said its fine and walked out?! THE COUCH BED was like sleeping on the floor it was SO uncomfortable :( 2nd they are very limited on places / options for food! You have to eat on their time or dont eat and the "All inclusive" doesnt include anything in your room they charge you ha ha ha ha Will never return

The hotel was clean but I paid a lot of money for a suit and my guest ended up sleeping on the floor since the sofa bed was not comfortable. The mattress was to thin so it made it uncomfortable. The staff was great there were a couple of members who went above and beyond and exceded my expectations, Norma in charge of the bathrooms was great. Beatriz and Salvador in the buffet were great. Both Jose’s at the Mexican restaurant were great and last but not least pinky at the buffet was great. My kids and I had a great time

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.
