stayed here in January (stayed a couple years back also) last time had to change rooms due to leaking ceiling in the bathroom from above, very dangerously wet & mouldy,this time had to change rooms due to air-con NOT working at all,even after 2 hours of having maintenance come & go saying "it working"......IT NOT !! Its generally same as many others,faded gray towels,bathrooms big but in need of a bit of TLC, toilet flush a bit dicky but managable,shower curtain mouldy etc. etc. BUT a big comfy bed (no bed bugs), t.v. works fine,hot water ok if no-one above is having a shower,pool is great for a dip,bit mouldy tiles,the pool bar has been closed for some time but the guys will get you a drink from the main bar no probs or just take your own like we did,discretley of course, pool towels were hard to get,on several occasions there wernt any but once we spoke to the pool man ( a darling young guy) we always got towels.
The rooms were always nice & clean on our return,plenty of soap,bits & pieces * toilet rolls.
The staff at reception were friendly,the staff at the main bar/pool were sensational,as were the cleaning/security staff.
The grounds are kept immaculate.
Overall its only a 2* hotel,so you get what you pay for,weve been twice & both times said we wouldnt go back (like to try a different place each year) but its in a fab location so close to eveything & thats the drawcard for us.
Sorry cant help with the Samsara.
If you choose Aneka I dont think you will be dissapointed if you dont have high expectations.
Enjoy your trip.
