This was my first trip alone to Mexico. I was a little hesitant going after I couldn't get the hotel I wanted. But I gave the Samba a try, and am I ever glad I did! The resort was extremely clean, the staff were unbelievably friendly, as well as the other vacationers. The food was delicious, though there was a... More

We just returned from Samba on Sunday and have absolutely nothing bad to say about this resort. As mentioned in other reviews, it is a smaller place which is great for families. We have 2 girls, 4 & 5 and they had so much fun there. The staff knew the girls names, were always very helpful & everything was great.... More

Our family (2 kids - 3 yrs and 1 yrs) stayed at Samba through the Nolitours all-inclusive from Toronto. The resort provided a relaxing vacation with excellent food, comfortable accomodation, and family fun. We visited the pool, beach/ocean, and playground daily, and read books on the balcony while the kids napped in the afternoon. The resort had plenty of space... More

Samba Vallarta is a great resort if you want a small, quiet, relaxing, and friendly place. It's NOT a place for someone looking to party. It's great for kids, families and couples over 35 yrs old or really mature. (boring - ha ha) I think the only reasons this resort isn't a 5 star is because of its size, age... More

Just returned from a one week all inclusive at the Samba. This was our second stay there and loved it. Its a small resort, only about 130 people there this week. Loved walking on the beach for miles each day. Very friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Its not a party place !!... More

My wife and I spent two weeks here (Dec 10 - 24, 2011). I was a bit apprehensive about spending two weeks at a place I had never been before, but the place was fabulous, and I lived it. This is the third resort I have been to in Nuevo Vallarta, and I can say without reservation that the food... More

Last week of 2011, some of our family visited Samba Vallarta.This underrated resort offers services that the many nearby "5 Star" establishments do not offer - eg.waiter service all day on the beach. With a smaller resort you also receive personalized attention that is difficult to achieve at larger hotels. Although it is not officially "Branded", Samba Vallarta was recently... More

We stayed at the Samba for the second time in 2011. The staff were amazing. The first time we stayed there our daughter was married there. They did an amaour ouzing job with the wedding. It was worth every penny. On our return trip in Feb 2011 it was our 25th anniversary. My mom talked to the manager and mentioned... More

Our family had a truly magical week at the Samba Vallarta over Christmas 2011. It was our first time in Mexico or at an all-inclusive so have little to compare to, but the resort was everything i hoped it might be... small, friendly, well-taken care of, in nature. The staff were extraordinary and made us feel very at home. They... More
