Samba Vallarta All Inclusive is a small, older, family friendly beachfront resort with a large pool and kids slides and plenty of beach palapas; rooms and facilities feel dated, and maintenance or consistency problems surface in some stays.

hotel lacked consistency in its service, food and premises. Great location and plenty of lounge chairs/palapas/Balinese beds. Some staff seemed to enjoy their work, others not so much. Food was hit and miss- some meals good, others were overcooked and hardened/eggshells in scambled eggs, was not served drinks at two suppers. Snack bar food was cold and overdone midaft. Birds having a feast with meal plates not collected promptly. Was our second and probably last time there when compared to other choices.

The outside grounds and pool with ocean views were awesome! The staff were attentive and aimed to please. This is an older resort with visible flaws, it needs an update but most everything that counts was in good order.

Rooms were great for the price. It is a small resort which many Mexicans also attend so the staff dont all speak English very well which can be diffucult at times. The restaurants arent open all the time so you have to plan. Food isnt great but it was ok. The pools were amazing for kids especially young ones. For a cheap all inclusive I would highly recommend it. If you want a luxury stay, not the place for you.

Hotel is very dated, could use improvements to most of the facilities (other than the kids pools which were great), but it was tolerable for our families, each with kids under 6. Little noisy now due to construction on one side. Breakfast is good, but need more kid-friendly food options the rest of the day. Big props for Rafael, the manager who was very helpful & accomodating when needed, and Ernesto (best bartender/waiter) onsite!
