Whaagwann? Just curious...have you stayed at Samsara? Your thoughts..Do's & don'ts....AI option with exchange privileges at Legends good..bad? The vibe? The management? Do you get Red Stripe in the bottle? Will they make French Toast for my wife at breakfast? Your input is appreciated. Thanks
Hey farmer I was at the White Sands last year saw your stickers everywhere. I stayed at Samsara the year before for a few days its a nice place kind of quiet they have a shuttle everyday that will take you to legends and you can use the beach. As far as red stripe its only on tap. If it was me I would skip the AI option.

I don't think ..that's Red Stripe ..on tap
Sorry- had to look it up on the net- Real Rock
If you would have looked a little closer, you would have seen that Real Rock is no longer being brewed...Originally Posted by Slightly Stoopid

Samsara and Legends serve Red Stripe and Red Stripe Light.

Trust me, it IS Red Stripe & Red Stripe Light ~~

worst beer on the beach...............lacdeloo.............yuck
Spent a couple nights here two years ago, and have posted about my experience. Property is nice, rooms are basic, if you have a problem with your room (such as water leaking through the light fixture onto the toilet) it won't get fixed no matter how much you complain, but they will ask you to check out early so they can fix it for the next guest. We literally could not sit on the toilet without getting dripped on.
The A/C made more noise than cold air.
No requests at meals for AI, it's all served from a steam table. Lots of hockey puck hamburgers and the like.
The hot tub is full of green water (or was when I was there).
I found that the Red Stripe on tap didn't taste anything like Red Stripe, and I thought it was flat. Rob assures us though that it IS Red Stripe, and that the tap lines are cleaned regularly (I personally don't believe it, not based on the taste).
Didn't find the people friendly at all.
Safe boxes are not in the rooms, are at the front desk. Not convenient at all.
We did like the sun beds, and there is a sufficient amount of shady places to relax along the cliffs (not the case at other places).
It all comes down to "you get what you paid for".

I stayed at Samsara for the first time in May of this year. I loved it. The staff is wonderful and very nice. My room was clean everyday. I had a superior room with a/c. I didn't have any problems while I was there. The food is good. The property might be older but it is always kept clean. I didn't drink the beer. I was too busy with the mix drinks that are part of the all-inclusive package. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
I've stayed at the samsara... Good property... I remember seeing ziggy, yellow man and maxipriest back in the day... I don't do AI, personally...my experience is that when the smaller more boutique hotels offer AI packages the food offerings can be somewhat minimal... Drinking usually cut off at 10 pm... I just don't think it's worth it... Paying for the AI tends to make people stay to get their 'money's worth' which can prevent them from seeing how Negril is just so incredibly awesome!
