The Samba is an older property, but it has been maintained well inside and outside. Caretakers work hard every day. Lots of sand sweeping, cups and garbage was pick up all the time and the pool workers were very diligent in keeping the pool clean of sand and "floaties". We loved the pool beds! A very happy lady (sad I didn't get name)washed the stairs up to our fourth floor using soap and water and a scrub broom every day!
The front desk girls(Karen/Nicole)were very strict with keeping us within the Samba's rules, but always courteous. Carlos, our bellman, was so welcoming and kind! We changed rooms after checking in and he promptly delivered our bags to our new suite. Thanks Carlos!
Our servers were amazing and made our meal times enjoyable - Genaro, Salvador, Ivan at the beach.
The most spectacular person was Berenice, who ran the Kid's Club! Our 8 year old granddaughter went every day, just because of Bere! They formed a very special bond. She made a special going away gift for Q, which I know she will treasure, always. Thank you so much Berenice!
We always found something good to eat at the buffet. Some of our group's favorites were the fresh guacamole, pico, chips, omelet station and the carrot cake! The beef and steak did not measure up (we love Canadian beef) but, we always found good options from a large selection.
We look forward to visiting again. Thank you to all who made this a great vacation for our family. Group of 5 adults, one child(8 years old)
