almost all of your meals, including one a lacrt rest, are provided at the main restaurent. the front view of that restaurent is totally blocked by an other buildibg, You can not see the gardens, or the pools or the beach. it is an amazing waste. On the wall of that building, they have a screen that unfolds open to... More

We had a great time at the Samba. Everyone there was so friendly. Smaller resort so line-ups weren't much of a factor. We we always able to get chairs either by the pool or at the beach. Air conditioning is a little loud so if you're a light sleeper bring your earplugs. The staff were all so friendly. Ferman (one... More

I will say that the Samba is one of the cleaner resorts I have stayed in. The staff powerwash the patio surrounding the pool area almost nightly, and sweep in the mornings. They have beautifully manicured bushes and flowers. The staff in the pool area were very courteous and polite. Housekeeping didn't come most nights we were there until dinner... More

I just returned from Samba Vallarta April 7-14, 2012. It was the most amazing trip I have ever had. The hotel was clean, friendly staff, they were very helpful. The front desk lady’s were amazing. They help me with all my need to upgrading my room from 127 to 327 as I wanted a view of the Pool not the... More

What can I say about Samba. This is our second trip here. The first one was about 5 years ago. We were cautious about going back because our first trip was so fantastic, we didn’t want to tarnish that memory just in case Samba had changed. We are so glad that was not the case. In fact, I think it... More

Myself & my husband and our best friends stayed at the Samba from March 4-12, 2012. It was the first time out of Canada for all of us. We couldn't have chose to stay at a better resort. The food was good, the service was incrediable. We would like to mention our wonderful server "SALVADOR", You were great!!!! We will... More

Our trip was wonderful and the samba Vallarta felt like home...well.... except with sun, sand and excellent service! The resort was small in comparison to the monster resorts next door...perhaps that's why the staff were able to give us such great service, always with a smile and a recognition of having seen us before! We found there was enough variety... More

We just spent our 7th vacation at the Samba March 3 to 17th. Last year, Mikevan der Kroft, the general manager for the Samaba had said come back next year and see the changes we have in mind. They had already upgraded most of the rooms to the Marriot standards for bedding and furnishings. The one area improvement was needed... More
