This was my second time staying at the Samba, and I would go back again. I think the resort offers very good value for the price. The food I found to be be very good. The resort only has something like 180 rooms, so you would not expect to see a huge variety, as you would at one of the... More

2 weeks ago I stayed at the Samba with my boyfriend, a friend, and her boyfrind. It was my very first vacation. The Hotel was pretty, and the location was great! Super close to the beach. But the staff were definately not "amazing" like people claim in other reviews. The security guards, and front door guys were awesome, Alejandro was... More

I have to admit I was a little concerned about booking this hotel at first being that the hotel was only rated a 3.5* and because of the size. I ended up booking based on the tripadvisor reviews! Wow was I wrong! What an amazing hotel! If you are looking for a fantastic place to call your home away from... More

Unfortunately the food was not very enjoyable so we stuck to the beach hut where pizza, fries, hot dogs and burgers were served. The hallways prove very loud as well as the beach hut converted...

We took a risk on the Samba and Nuevo Vallarta and headed out of downtown PV which we love. But... I don't think we'll stay in downtown PV again! The beach if fully amazing. Literally within minutes from your room... you have full access to everything at the resort. There are very few beach vendors as they must be licensed... More

We were there for a week and our first time at this hotel. The hotel is small and has only one and a half restaurants the half is the one used during the day as the beach grill still very nice. The food was as good or better than other places. Last stay was at the RUI next door very... More
