Samsara is a peaceful getaway that feels like home if you're looking for relaxation and beautiful views. The staff is warm and welcoming, making you feel part of the family, but the beds could definitely use some serious upgrades. The dining is mostly good, but coffee can be hard to come by in the mornings, which was a bit inconvenient. All in all, it's a clean and safe place with a chill atmosphere, ideal for those wanting to unwind away from the party scene.

The hotel's location on the cliffs of Negril is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking sunset views and easy access to the water for snorkeling and jumping off the rocks. However, the service left much to be desired, with disorganization at check-in and lack of room cleaning. I found the food options to be lacking, but the nearby Ciao Jamaica Restaurant is a great alternative. Overall, while the setting and views are hard to beat, the management and service definitely need improvement for the price point.
