I saw a review complaining about the shower head that made me laugh. My suggestion for a shower or bath is to run the cold fully and control the temperature with the hot. In fact, there wasn’t enough cold water to control the hot water. Everything in the bathroom worked properly and there was plenty of hot water. As many have already mentioned, the room was very dated. Unlike most resorts we’ve been to, they want it back at the end. The check in was relatively quick and easy. This was our first time vacationing in Mexico after staying at many different comparable resorts in Cuba and the Dominican Republic. My wife and I vacationed with our two kids at the Samba Vallarta in March.

#HOTEL SAMBA VALLARTA FOTOS MOVIE#
The nightly shows were great from Circus, to Magic, to Latin dance, to movie night. I took daily walks down the beach and hung out by the pool reading. The recreation staff, especially Nilson, are fantastic and really engage the teens. It is such a safe property, is small in relation to the others around it, and has a real family feel. He also spent lots of time in the water riding the waves on boogie boards, to playing poker, to eating with his new friends.

If you have kids/teenagers, this is a great place to go! My son met up with other teens and had a great time doing all of the planned daily activities, from darts, to water polo, to volleyball, to playing soccer on their grass field, to table tennis, to a variety of games. The resort is old and almost crumbling (you can see the dire state of their rooms, roof and restaurants). Overall, I could have gone to Riu (price was comparable when I booked it). Staff at the buffet, restaurants and bar were very friendly and helpful despite the meager offerings. Staff at reception looked like they did not want to be there, mostly unhelpful. I didn't even bother booking the Mexican one, I was done with it. I booked Venezia restaurant for dinner and it was very bad I ended up going to the buffet right after. There's only 1 buffet restaurant and there's a line up to get in during breakfast.


The buffet food was ok, nothing extraordinary. There's no room service so you can't order food late night either. There was one night when the bar closed the same time as the buffet. Buffet closes at 2230 and the bar is only until 2330. Not enough plugs so you either choose between more light or charging your phone I booked it because of the glowing reviews albeit some concerns about the rooms but here's what I found when I got there:īooked a standard room, it's old, had a weird smell and clearly needs some updates.
