Staff was not overly friendly, but pleasant - we were informed that our room was a cottage across the road. Fair enough, for that price. We checked it out, and it was really cute, and roomy. However, no air conditioning, no ocean view and probably a few too many mosquitoes. We upgraded to a second floor room with ocean view and A/C for $30 more per night. Still cheap.
We had absolutely no problems there. Of course, we only ate one breakfast and 2 lunches there... otherwise we enjoyed the wide variety of nearby dining establishments. We loved Pablo's across the street - $12 for both of us to have french toast, fruit and coffee. Best french toast I think I have ever had.
Samsara was clean and suited us fine. It's a 3.5 star and was fine. What we really loved was the very expansive sunning decks with many levels of cliffs to leap off. Snorkeling was quite good there too.

View of the little cottage across the road - beautiful gardens!
