Samsara

I stayed with my adult sons for a week at Samsara this past January. We were on an AI package that was a super deal. We stayed in a cottage with ocean view. The cottage was rustic, had a huge newly tiled shower, but did not have air-conditioning. Even in January, there were times the AC would have been good to cool the place. Food was good, drinks were good, staff were nice, nothing fancy, but a great location on the west end. Generally, the price you pay is usually quite representative of the services and amenities you will receive in the hospitality industry. I would return to Samsara given the same price, but would upgrade to an AC room depending on the time of year.

We skipped Negril one year and went to Key Largo and Singer Island in Florida. I travel for work, so we used my points and stayed at some of the ritziest resorts--rented a Mustang convertible and thought we'd be in Heaven. We came to realize that we would rather be in Negril, even if it was with hard mattresses and cold showers.

At any rate, I got the Samsara Groupon in an email last month, and couldn't say no. We booked a spur of the moment 5 night stay at Samsara for Thanksgiving...this will be our first AI stay, and I can't wait! To me, the vibe is a reflection of one's attitude. Negril brings out my attitude of gratitude, so I'm pretty sure we'll love Samsara just like we love Crunchy Crunchy, Blue Cave Castle and Nirvana....
