Hotel Samba

Staying here for two weeks has beebeen a mistakethe bar staff are hit and miss, one time the Ukrainan girl straight up refused to and a stupid lemon slice into my drink, the food is inedible and disgusting. The pool is disappointing, the rooms are okayish.

Came with my partner as a surprise for his 40th, rooms ok, basic but dated, food was stone cold at every service, and not very nice at all. all inclusive bar is a nightmare you have to faff about with handing room cards in every time and take your glass up to be refilled. pool bar only has soft drinks and beer, and only certain times. We ended up eating and drinking out most of the time Daytime entertainment was 2 staff prancing about to Spanish music. Evening entertainment shocking, aimed at 90 yr old Spanish people. Bar area dead with no atmosphere at all, bar the odd European couple having a waltz. Manners are clearly not a thing here either. hotel was like a hostel for large groups of Spanish and French school kids, met the odd British couple, staff were ok, not over friendly but did the job. If it’s a fun lively atmosphere you want this is definitely not the hotel for you, I’m glad our 15yr old wasn’t with us she would have been bored stiff Overall for what I paid I’m majorly disappointed and embarrassed that I brought the other half here, I’ve stayed in lots of hotels in Spain over the last 35 years and this is by far the worst. 100000% not recommended!

Me and my friend stayed at this hotel from the 4th-11th of september 2024, we went all inclusive and i’d say you honestly pay for what you get! We booked through love holidays, got flights, transfers and the hotel package for £460pp so not bad at all. The hotel is big and has a variety of different hot and cold foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Buffet style and has loads of choice :) For drinks you just have to give in your drinks card then take your glass back up to the bar to get another one, honestly makes sense to me! Hotel staff are friendly and are honestly so hard working coming from someone who also works in hospitality, room cleaning is daily, smooth check in and out, about 10 minute walk to a few beaches and all of the shops and city centre, amazing nightlife with lots of clubs and bars, honestly it’s a good cheap holiday in my opinion. Air con worked, shower was basic, beds were comfy, free wifi, friendly staff. As two 18 year old girls who just wanted a break with good nightlife we definitely recommend this hotel, i’ve read loads of reviews about this hotel and i think it just depends what you’re looking for. It’s busy, drinks are averagely priced in clubs, loads of daytime activities in Lloret aswell! I hope this helps make your mind up if you’re looking at staying here, i’d 100% stay again :)

Stayed here for my Birthday not worth the money Decor dated Food cold Entertainment poor All inclusive drinks needed your card swiped every time and no spirits at pool bar so had to come to the bar inside the hotel to hand in a glass card that you need to collect every time you move around the hotel Also full of teenagers from France on school trips. Not many English families here when we stayed just rude OAP’s from Europe who pushed in front and generally rude If I was looking for a Hotel in Lloret de mar id choose something else as it’s not as described in the Brochure.

Definately worst all inclusive holiday I have ever been on. Went with group of friend for short relaxing break. Although hotel was clean and tidy far more negatives than positive with our stay. Positves Room clean and tidy Fresh towels daily Good selection of food at meal times Some staff friendly and helpful Short walk to beaches and shop Fab food at pool IF your paying NEGATIVES Balcony doors not very secure ALL INCLUSIVE limited drinks and snacks at poolside. Only beer or softdrinks available, snacks consist of lettuce, tomato, cheese, ham, bread, crisps and pastries between 10-12. ALL INCLUSIVEdrinks dreadful but if you buy same drink you could actually enjoy your drink. A couple of times I asked foe drinks and was told did not k ow what it was. But happily served it me when.I was paying. KIDS KIDS KIDS more like a youth hostel, full of young teenagers on summer camps at least 200 with minimal adult supervision, scantily dressed and inappropriately dressed. Some of the tshirts being worn were disgusting in respect of images and wording and age of the kids wearing them too. At no point were we informed that the hotel houses children on school or summer camps. Entertainment was appauling, from what we saw most all inclusive guests went out elsewhere during. Needless to say we wont be returning.

the all inclusive drinks system in this hotel is terrible you must take a glass back to get another drink and at the end when you are finished you need to wait in a queue to hand your glass back as you get a card you need to use along with your armband. also the picture in the add for the pool is deceiving as you need to go down stairs or their is a lift to get to it. not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties. nothing opens until 10:00 am including the pool. they have games in the pool but it takes up the whole shallow end so if you cannot swim or have a child with you you cannot go in the pool for a few hours during these games. finally in my opinion the seating area is not cleaned overnight as the ashtrays on the tables in the morning were all full

If u want bad entertainment it's worth it unbelievable. The hotel is run down and dirty .the food is not up to standard basically terrible. Would not book there again and staff treat all inclusive people very bad .ignoring them and paying customers come first .don't book it's bad

After 7 nights at hotel Samba, I feel I would not return, although the holiday wasn't the worst, it was basic, in terms of food, decor and staffing, and the Entertainment team were off-putting for ever returning as a family. POSITIVES * Great location, short walk into town * Mini Market close by * Pillows and beds comfortable enough * Large pool area, sun loungers always available * Fresh towels daily * Bar man at pool very pleasant * 1 life guard very friendly NEGATIVES * Lots of school trips- teens in bar No ID checked in bars, young people drinking alcohol in games room, not 18. * Small rooms, 3 single beds pushed together for 2 adults 1 child, no walking room if beds were apart, this was fine for us as our child slept in middle bed and no issues, however may not suit everyone * Entertainment extremely poor, animation team appear uninterested and inexperienced, appears to maybe be a summer job, had more interest in teenage males and bringing them onto the stage to mess around than the children who were there to watch their shows- excluded some children from shows each night and would not let them join in- some children crying and upset * Staff appear to work long shifts, catering staff in the AM were bar/ Entertainment staff by night * Only 3 elevators- always a que or taking stairs with a baby and pram * Wifi very poor signal * Rooms could do with updating, depending on floor level, some rooms are very outdated * Food for breakfast and lunch for All Inclusive was repetitive, cannot comment on dinner as we went into town for dinner each night * Only soft drinks/beer served outside of main bar, cocktails could not be served or brought to pool area as no glass allowed at pool and refused to give drink in plastic cup to all inclusive guests * Items not on all inclusive are very expensive- go to mini market across road, half the price All in all, not the worst hotel I'm sure, but I would not return
