This is a great resort for a small group. We went during “rainy season” and had nothing but sun for the week we went (lucky more than anything) The staff is amazing, they are always ready to help when needed. The food was great with and good selection every meal. The resort itself is on the smaller side but for a family of 3, it was great and not too spread out. The kids slide was what made us choose this resort as my son just wanted to have fun, mission accomplished. The wait staff during meals were always welcoming and friendly, especially Carlos and Salvador with both of them always willing to talk to you suggesting new drinks to try and answer questions if needed. The pools are great, being maintained, cleaned daily, and life guards on site every time of the day, we had no worry about anything at all. I would recommend this resort to all families looking for something less busy and just for a good time. This will be our new resort going forward when vacationing to Mexico

It's a small resort, but the food was delicious, the beds were really comfortable and all staff were amazing, especially Carlos and Salvador (de papasito) and Bere!! The only issue was the AC in the room didn't work too well, made sleeping difficult. I would come back again, even if just to revisit the amazing people who work here

Very peaceful and relaxing. All inclusive was good. Restaurants were great. Paco, Diana, Tony, pere, Jimmy and Luigi were good. Room was comfortable and kids had a great time playing in the water and splash park. Short-story but it was fun for all

Amazing service from the staff, everyone is so friendly!! The food at the buffet was delicious and the waiters were also very helpful. The resort is very family oriented, and as guests from Canada, we enjoyed the cheerful atmosphere of all the Mexicans around us! The only downside at this resort is the staff do not speak very much English. The beach was out-of-this-world!! Although the hotel itself is a little outdated, they keep it very tidy and clean. Highly recommend this resort!

Salvador in the Hacienda restaurant and bar was always energetic, sincere, and hardworking. It made our time at Samba Vallarta incredible. Great food. Service is awesome. Lots of drinks delivered ahead of the thirst. We will be back . Low season is the best!
