Just returned from Samsara. I agree it is a nice hotel, breakfasts are lovely. No tea and coffee in room but these are available anytime. The only negative comments I would make are that we were assured there was a no children policy and that the place is very quiet. I tend to disagree. There were Indonesian children there whilst we were there and we awoken one morning by their screaming in the pool. We could also hear them thumping around in the room above us. As the rooms are so close to the pool (which also has its positives), you do hear the noise and music from the pool during the day which can be disturbing for those that seek quiet during the day. I am a light sleeper and we were told we were in the quietest room but I could hear the thump thump from the neighbouring clubs. In saying that, others found it very peaceful and were not disturbed by any noise and could not hear the music. It really depends on what you are looking for I guess, we were attracted by the "quiet" and "no children" policy. Staff are lovely and drink prices at the pool as well as snacks were very reasonable.
