Perfect Place for Rest and Relaxation
Samba Vallarta is a smal resort so getting everywhere is very quick. There isn't the glitz and glamour that you will find at the newer, bigger resorts;which we were trying to avoid and why we chose to come here. The beach is as beautiful as described in all the reviews; soft sand, surprisingly warm ocean water and the waves were small. We never had to stress about getting up early to save a lounge chair, there were always plenty available under the palaypa covers. The bonus was the small bar that would be setup on the beach so you didn't have to walk far to get a drink. We had upgraded rooms with balconies, very spacious and comfortable; lots of hot water and great water pressure. The buffet food was excellent, the best mashed potatoes ever! We never tried the restaurants The grounds are beautiful The pool was large and there is a great area for children in it with a pirate ship that has a slide. Lots of activities if that's what you are looking for; pool tables, ping pong, shuffleboard, yoga, aqua exercise and much more. They also have bike tours or you can borrow a bike and helmet at no cost if you want to explore on your own. Bucerías and the mega grocery stores are all less than a hour walk away. A very safe and comfortable walk, we went to both. Thank you to Bernardo, the concierge and Alejandro, Carlos, Salvador and Cele in the buffet for the excellent service. All of you helped make our stay very enjoyable. We will be back

Not a True 5 Star. And the FOOD IS TERRIBLE!
We booked 7 days with our daughter and 5 year old twin granddaughters. Up arrival, we were told that our superior 2 bedroom suite was facing the driveway into the resort. So after explaining that this is not ok, nor will we accept this, they presented us with a choice. 1. Parking lot. 2. Marina. Needless to say we chose the Marina. Which turned out to be really peaceful and was beautiful for Sunrises. But the fact that we had to argue for it was extremely disappointing. That was not a great start to our vacation that we had booked months in advance. Once we got into our room, it was good, clean, and spacious. However, make note that they only supply coffee for 2 days and after that you have to purchase your own or buy it from them. Not what I would consider all inclusive. The room also only provided 2 bottles of water in the room upon arrival. And there is no alcohol in the room which is pretty standard in an all inclusive. We've stayed at many 5 stars in pv, cancun and the Mayan among others. We also were prompted to sit through one of thier time share presentations, which of course we did not, and didn't appreciate the pushiness. Ridiculous. Our first experience at the buffet was shocking. The food was old, stuck together (pancakes molded together, French toast stuck to the pan and crusty, pre made mini waffles hard as rocks), then all the other food was beyond an unacceptable standard by all the people we spoke to about it.The yogurt bar and fruit were very nice. The rest of the buffet was inedible for the most part. We weren't the only ones who thought this. We got to choose 2 dinners at the only 3 restaurants on site. So we did. We went to the Japanese one 1st, the presentations were very nice but I got sick from it. 2nd reso was at the Mexican rest, it was also good, but with both restaurants, half the menu was not part of the all inclusive. Which was really upsetting and kind of angering, coupled with the other issues. But the entertainment at the Mexican rest was fun, a one guy key board dude with some interesting takes on hit music. It was fun and funny:) Our room never got cleaned prior to 330 on most days. If you want to use the gym, there is a 15.00 usa per day charge. This was never mentioned when we booked. The cost would be ridiculous to use it. Eveytime you order anything at any of the restaurants, snack bar, poolside etc, you have to sign the bill, which included the cost of your meal and a place for a tip and your room#. All while wearing a wrist band for your all inclusive. This was really annoying. One could not move around without opening a new tab each time you wanted move or leave. Entertainment was ok. We had a Mexican fiesta and a western night. The same food from inside was simply served outside, with a few small additions to the menu. Weird. The kids club was fun and the girls enjoyed it alot. The property was very clean and well maintained and beautiful. Plus we felt very safe onsite at all times. Staff was always very attentive and very nice. This resort seemed like it was unable to manage or track 'members/'timeshare' guests and the all inclusive guests at the same time. It was frustrating. We would not recommend going there as an all inclusive. And can't recommend going there at all because the food was so bad, and the lack of it being all inclusive and having to sign all the time is a deal breaker for us.

Fantastic
This trip was beyond our expectations. The staff were all excellent. Our room view was really pretty. We had upgraded to preferred and were glad that we did. The food was excellent everywhere we ate (Olio, Bordeaux, Portofino, Mezze). We had Oscar on his first night at Mezze and he was very sweet. The short rib was so great I ordered it twice and my hubby loved the mushroom ravioli at Portofino. Plus the snacks and lunch at Preferred Club, room service and poutine were awesome. Breakfast at Preferred Club was great every day. We honestly can't say anything negative about this resort. The beach, although not swimmable for beginners which we knew in advance (cool to watch the surfers) was super lovely to walk along both directions. Shout out to Danny the Pool Concierge who was super sweet and knowledgeable and all of the staff up there on the Rooftop; Dario and Julio! The pools and warm tubs on the Rooftop Preferred Club were a great place to hang out all day. We also enjoyed the music and shade in the afternoon down at the Barracuda Bar. At the Secrets Lobby Bar, Alex, Gabriella and the whole team were awesome! You can tell everyone here takes great pride in their jobs. Elizabeth our butler was helpful. We needed a couple things in our room and used the app….extremely responsive and helpful. We never felt the need to ‘save a lounger' or rush anywhere….it did not feel crowded at all and everyone had a smile on their face.
