Hi,
We just returned from two weeks at Legends and we had a fabulous time staying at your hotel. I had my three children, my mum and my aunt with me and they really enjoyed themselves. Your staff were polite and friendly and the security staff were great - special tahnks to Michael, Orett and to the staff who crossed us over the busy main road every day.My mum and aunt enjoyed the tranquility of your sister hotel - Samsara and the kids were intrigued when they saw three dolphins passing by the cliffs one evening. The beach at Legends was great - a big thanks to Michael and Orett for putting out our sunbeds and parasols each day - it was much appreciated.The kids spent a lot of time in the smaller swimming pool, as well as on the beach and took full advantage of the floats and sunbeds that were able to use from the hotel.The security staff at the neighbouring hotels were very friendly and kept a watchful eye over the children, a special thanks to Patrick at next door.We will definitely come again next year, as I didn't get to try out the evening entertainment.
Kind regards

We just wanted to drop a line to tell you what a fabulous time we had. I did fill out the survey when we checked out. However, I felt it was a little too impersonal for the thanks we wanted to convey. We were thrilled with the improvements to the property. We were so busy planning the wedding that I hadn't visited your website, so the lounging/tanning pool area, spa cabana, gift shop, newly improved sundecks, and dinner deck, etc.... were a complete surprise. We also greatly appreciated the accommodation of the larger room!!!! As always, in Jamaica, we made some new friends and enjoyed the culture. We are very into Reggae music, and we able to see some good shows. We even went past Green Island to see Anthony B. Quite the adventure. We originally were supposed to have been married at the Rockhouse Hotel in April 2008, but changed our plans due to, too many family and friends wanting to come along. We decided to dine at the Rockhouse for Father's Day to see their property and such. They have an impressive lay out and the food was great, but the vibe was not the same as Samsara. We are very pleased we stayed with you at Samsara, and will continue to do so in the future. By the way, we both wanted to mention, and i'm sure you hear this a lot, but Melvin is our favorite. Very pleasant, helpful, and informative about your culture. He is just a really good person. My husband has known Melvin for almost 9 years now, and we are always excited to see him when we arrive. Also, big up to Sharona, Porter, George, Inisha, the Dive Staff, and Belinda as well. Take care until next time. p.s. our friends had a lot of fun too.
Many Thanks,

this is just to say thankyou for the most amazing holiday ever. we could never repeat seeing the stars of our youth, Gregory Isaacs, John, Sugar Minott and Yellowman we even saw twice. we rolled in at 3 am, did my back in dancing and had such a brilliant time. the staff at the hotel were brilliant. nothing was too much trouble and the cooler we were given kept Leroy's insulin cool.
we had the best of rooms overlooking the sea just as i imagined. it was such a great first wedding anniversary, the two men who play in the hotel sang for us and the whole of the guests clapped and cheered and even took pictures. we met some great friends and are still in touch back in England we were given a lovely shady place on the beach and were well cared for by the lads there.
everyone was so helpful but what i must commend is the fact that Leroy left his jacket behind when we left, it had his new I-Pod in the pocket, his kids had given him it for Xmas and had loaded all his favourite tunes. So he was heartbroken when he realised that it had been left. yet by the time we got off the bus in Mo' Bay the driver had been informed it had been found and it was on its way to the airport. what a wonderful staff you have, so honest and thoughtful they really made our holiday.
With all the night life we still managed to walk around Negril, sample the local food. we loved your food, the staff were so kind to Leroy and on occasions he had some real Jamaica food put out for him specially . i don't know who made the soups but they were always so tasty.
we visited the Sam Sara and i snorkeled off the cliffs, we had champagne in Ricks Cafe where Leroy got all romantic and got the band to sing Kingston Town which is our tune. every day was wonderful. i haven't danced so much in years.
everyone was just so kind and helpful so please let all the staff know how much we appreciated them. it couldn't have been easy putting up with us mad old couple. I've sent a few pictures with this mail.
as i write this we are having cold weather with snow blizzards and hailstones. this morning i walked in streets covered in crispy white snowy ice and its sure slippy. i just have to keep thinking of the warm sun in Jamaica to cheer myself up.
Thank you all again for such a great time.
Janet and Leroy.

Keriann, all of the other staff as well as Maurice and his beautiful wife...WE HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME at Samsara ... as well as all the other surrounding points so easy to get to from Samsara. Our driver Lee you sent for us to pick us up from the airport was so very nice and very imformative and LOVED the music he played in between his stories of the places we past on our way to Samsara. Please tell him I said Hi. We were glad to have him take us back to the airport as well. He pretty much serranaded us with his wonderful music on the way back! The Pillar house .. LOVED THEM.. always clean .. i never had a chance to meet those who kept it up for us each day so please let them know we truly appreciate their hard work. Waking up in the morning with the sounds of the sea and the morning light coming in our window was just a wonderful experiance. My last stop was at PeeWees.
Had to go for that was my dads nick name.. it was so very touching for me.. it actually brought tears to my eyes and i nicknamed Gayte .. not sure about the spelling, "little peewee" .. i could go on and on and on about the things we did around the country side and the WONDERFUL stay we had at your place but i know you have got lots to do for all the others staying so i had better go... and i did forget two things .. to buy some tea bags and to book for next year.. so.. you WILL be hearing from me soon!!! lots of snow and lots of unpacking today... when i get my snow bound bearings back.. .i'll pull out that credit card again!!!!

Hi Samsara, Merlene, Keriann and Stacy!
I just wanted to share with you all that once again you truly made my stay that much more welcoming. I must say that I am truly in awe about such positive interpersonal relations I always have with everyone I encountered during my stay from 12/6-12/10/07 in addition to my past yearly visits.
My very first year staying in one of the pillar houses (T2)and just know that I will more than likely always reserve one in the future. In addition, my first time in the past 10 years also having lunch at Legends at it too was great!
OWayne and Maureen both rock! I can't foget to mention Mr. Craig and the other gentleman who made me feel safe during my entire stay as well even when I arrived back wee hours of the morning.
Mr. Mitchell Rice also extends his warm thanks and feelings of welcome as it was his very first experience not only to Jamaica but out of out Country of the United States, Boston, Massachusetts. I am always encouraging my friends and family even folk I do not know who state they are going to Jamaica to stay at Samsara on the cliffs!
I hope to see you all before next December my usual choice of stay however if not surely then. I ask that you keep up the good work and be good to your wonderful staff that bring such a great image and warm welcome home away from home!
Wishing you all a Happy Holiday Season and a very prosperous New Year!

I am at work now, it's 9:30 in the morning and it's only 5 degrees outside. I miss the beautifull people, nice weather, sea, food (big mama)en especially the beach. I talked a lot with the security guy Michael and Orbit (snoop). We met an other dutch couple en thinking it over to come back next year. I had some problems with my camera and the manager put the pictures on a cd for me. The result is perfect and the foto's are also beautifull...thanks again for that...

The very first moment I walked into the shady coolness of the main desk area
of The Samsara Hotel and saw the ornamental gates, the comfy sofas, the smile
on everyone's face, and felt the coolness sink deep into my skin, and bones
I knew I was some where I would enjoy being. My first impression of The
Samsara Hotel was correct I discovered my very first [full] day there.
After checking in, which didn't take very long, I was taken to my rather
impressive room and shown how to use the TV, and the AC key and the moment I
stepped out on my sea view balcony I was so very glad I followed my instinct
and decided to spend my time in Jamaica there, at the Samsara.
The view of the sea, and the fresh sea air blowing into my room as I lay on
my queen sized comfortable clean bed reminded me of days I have spent on
that beautiful little island years ago, and made me so very happy to be back
and even happier I picked Samsara to stay in.
A walk to the cliffs to relax, and take a swim in the ocean, then a boat
ride out to the coral reef with Famous Vincent, the live entertainment at
night, the staff, and all of the help, all did everything they could do to
make sure my stay would be enjoyable, and easy for me. The food was
excellent, and there was as much or as little food as I wanted each meal and
the Rum Punch [that flowed like a river] was a real treat ;-)
EVERY ONE I met there, and I MEAN EVERY ONE was pleasant, friendly, helpful
and more than willing to do any thing I asked of them and even in [some]
cases that could easily be considered over and above the call of duty. Since
I have a slight handicap and can not get around easily I was very pleased
the staff was so nice, and so very willing to help...
I really enjoyed my stay at The Samsara [what I can remember of it anyhow,
you see I drank A LOT'A Rum Punch mon'] and yes, I WILL go back and stay at
Samsara one day.
How ever one small draw back I found was the fact that once the bar
closed at 11:00 PM there was no where on the property to get a cold drink,
that I was aware of anyhow, so.... may I suggest you either bring a small
cooler with you when ya go, or buy a cooler there, and make sure to get some
drinks, and ice to keep in that cooler just in case you are like me and
would want a cold drink when ya wake up, or come to [what ever the case may
be] in the middle of the night or before the bar & kitchen / dinning room
opens.
Perhaps Samsara will consider getting some soda machines folks can get cold
soda's out'a at night, and who knows, maybe they could put some Red Stripe
in there too ;-)
GO TO Samsara... do yourself a favor, and bring your whole family, they'll
all love it too. I give the Samsara a 4.70 stars out of a possible 5.00
stars rating...

I just wanted to let you know how much my husband and I enjoyed our
recent vacation at Legends Resort ( Feb 1- 12th - Room 304). Although I
had originally had my heart set on a beach side room with balcony, we
loved our little porch amidst the tropical gardens. The hotel location
on Negril beach was marvellous and we just can't say enough positive
things about your staff with special honourable mention of Shannon the
bartender. His friendly personal manner in guest handling and his quick
efficient addressing of happy hour at the Legends bar make him very
much an asset to Legends. For your information, I owned and operated a
Hospitality Mystery Shopping Company here in Toronto for eight years (
two years ago I sold the business concept). We performed audits of
service quality, staff integrity and alcohol compliance at hotels,
restaurants and nightclubs in Toronto, Ottawa, & Montreal. So I
hope my comments and compliments have additional credibility........ We
plan to return to Legends again next winter....wish it was next week
though as we are currently shovelling ourselves out of 1 foot of snow
here in Toronto. Best regards and thank you for all your assistance
regarding our reservation at Legends!

John and I would like to thank you for all your help with our
reservation at Samsara last week, with arranging our upgrade to T-2. It
was the best vacation we have had in Jamaica with the laid back
atomsphere and courteous service from the hotel staff really made the
vacation amazing. Our past vacations to Jamaica have been large resorts
which may have all the amenties but after choosing Samsara we will
never go back to resort vacations again. I want to thank the staff of
the restaurant, front desk, the 3 piece band and each employee who made
this vacation special for us even the owner who drove us to the beach.
We will be back next January if not before then and will always stay in
the pillar cottages, we didn't even make it to Rick's this time since
we didn't need to with the beautiful sunset we had from our balcony. I
have a small request if you could find out what song is played right
after Police and Thieves on the songtrack everyday at the poolbar. I
had asked OWayne and he said it was Toots & Maytals but I can't
find the song with that band. Thank you again for all your help, Cathy

My husband and I recently returned from our first stay at Samsara
in pillar house T-3 and absolutely loved everything about it! The view is
incredible - 180 degrees with no buildings, trees or anything but just the
Caribbean Sea in sight! We especially enjoyed the staff. Maureen and
Arlene were top knotch servers at the bar and in the restaurant, and Tanya
kept our room so exceptionally clean, that my husband said he could bounce
a quarter off the bed when she was finished making it each day! One day
when it began to rain, she even came to the room to remove our beach
towels from the balcony where they were drying so they wouldn't get wet.
That's customer service at the highest level! Everyone --from the security
guard to the gardener -- made us feel welcome and comfortable. The driver
you arranged for our transport from the airport - Steve - was absolutely
the best. We spent many hours with him touring the island during the week
and will recommend his driving skills and knowledge of the island to
anyone needing a fantastic tour guide and safe driver! Even your general
manager was a treat. One evening the electricity went out on the entire
property, and he came knocking on our door immediately with candles and a
personal apology. Within an hour the lights were back on. We can't wait
to return this fall to kick back, relax and have a ball! Legends offers a
nice change of pace with its beach, but you can't beat those cliffs for
snorkeling! You made my first trip to Jamaica incredibly memorable for us!
We are already planning to return in October to stay again in a pillar
house with that magnificant view!

We stayed at Legends from 31 march until 14 april
in a marvellous beach-view room.
In the restaurant is a permanent exhibition of
the "legends" of a century. (hence the name...)
Marilyn Monroe, Landrover, Kitchen Princes to
name a few.
They give the place a "vacation atmosphere" that
makes you feel good right from the start.
That feeling is getting sustained and amplified
by the people who work in Legends, the management
the waitresses, the waiters, kitchen personel
(the food is great !)and even the guy who cleans
the pool.
They may not realize it but actualy they are the
"living legends".
They make your vacation unforgettable, ask anyone
who stayed there !
So, Andrea, Lattecha, Theresa, Shannon, Angella,
MAMA, Nashena, Kerisha, Ceila and all the others
at Legends, thank you for making our stay at
Legends unforgettable !

Hello from Terry and Gloria We just returned home from Jamaica and we
stayed at your Samsara Resort Hotel on the west end. We had the times
of our lives there. Your staff especially Melvin and Monica were just
the greatest people we met in Jamaica. I don't know what Melvin does at
your resort but what ever it is he is good at it and I want you to tell
him Hello from Terry and Gloria. He was so very friendly and helpful to
us. This was our first time out of the United States and we choose
Jamaica. Monica I believe is the house keeper there for the rooms. I
personally want you to tell her for us thank you for the great job she
did cleaning our room and making us feel welcome there. I don't know
about Jamaica but in the US good help is hard to come by. We learned
alot from these two people and wanted to personally tell them thank you
if you will pass this along to them. The fella at the front desk that
helps people to cross the street was very kind to us also. I took
hundreds of pictures of your resort and posted them on my pesonal web
page for our friends to see. We will return to Jamaica for another
visit and will book our rooms with you ! Again tell everybody hi for us
and thank them personaly for us. Terry and Gloria

We can not begin to say enough great things about Legends and the staff.
The rooms are beautiful and very clean. The beach is wonderful and the

thanks to Angela the bartender, we kept her really busy and she always
had a smile and kind words. Donovan, our waiter for the wedding dinner
was the greatest!! Melva our maid was always taking care of our needs.
Oneal, sigh, I could go on all day. You have a top notch staff. This
not being our first trip to your beautiful Island did not disappoint

Dear Legends,
We just returned home and I wanted to write immediately. My
family and I were at Legends from 12/24 - 12/30 for a "different
Christmas" this year. The goal was to take our two youngest -
our son who is 14 and a daughter who is 16 years old away to
strengthen our family bonds.
We found Legends and the staff a most delightful and beautiful
experience, one that we will carry with us the rest of our lives.
We found our room to be clean as a whistle, and our
housekeeper kept it that way. When we needed something, we
called the front desk and they responded within minutes.
We went all-inclusive and for us it turned out to be the best
thing with the kids. Yvonne, the cook, what can I say??? She was
so kind and gentle and warm-hearted. She took care of us and
made sure that the children ate, and ate well. Yvonne makes
fantastic food, and if you have the chance to taste her tuna fish
sandwich, you are in for a treat. (she puts scotch bonnet in there
and it was utterly heaven) The conch, fish, chicken, veggies,
breakfast - EVERYTHING was tasty tasty tasty!! There was a
gentleman who tended bar, usually during the evening - I
cannot remember his name, but he was so kind to us. Angela
was a jewel and her smile and positive attitude was a delight to
see every morning. Andrea, a waitress was gentle, sweet and
caring in so many ways. We relied on these staff members and
trusted them so much! Also, everyone from the maintenance
man to the front desk to the nice woman in the office who wears
glasses...I cannot say enough about what a joy Legends turned
out to be.
Best of all, my children had a fantastic time. Captain Moses and
Duane (aka Lobster) were such an asset - especially Lobster who
became friends with my kids. The security man who we had
most of the time watched my kids like a hawk - he took his job
seriously and we appreciated that. We found the beach a delight
- we were not hassled at all, the higglers left us alone, and once
we walked the beach with the kids, we were treated by everyone
with respect and that big beautiful Jamaican smile. No problem,
mon!
My husband and I had such a peace of mind there - I have never
seen him as relaxed EVER. He is a new man after this trip, and I
am also renewed. I cried like a baby on the plane home. I will
always carry Jamaica in my heart and cannot wait to come back.
You will definately see us again.
Legends is a wonderful place and I would not hesitate to
recommend it to families. We are thankful to the staff at Legends
who made our holiday so very special - If anyone needs to talk
to us about taking kids to Legends, have them get in touch with
me. It was a fantastic family vacation.
With Love and Respect,

I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to write, but life was waiting when
we got back and it's just been one thing after another. Everytime
things get stressful, we just put in a Reggae CD, close our eyes, and
pretend we're back in Negril. : o) I wanted to thank you for all the
trouble you went to to accomodate us and let you know that your efforts
are so greatly appreciated. The week we spent at Samsara was a dream,
and it's all we talk about since. We are DEFINITELY coming back,
although we don't know when that will be. We thought it would be a once
in a lifetime vacation but now that we've been there, we know that once
is just not enough. We've already decided, we'll do whatever it takes
to get back again soon. The island is so beautiful and everyone was so
welcoming. We never thought we'd find a place where we felt so at home
and so relaxed. Life there is how it should be - based on love and
respect and kindness. The world should envy Jamaica for its spirit and
tranquility. We long to be there again. All our best,

Dear Sabrina,
It's now 3 days since we left Jamaica and though we're back physically,
our hearts are still back in Negril. I can't even begin to
tell you how wonderful and amazing our stay was at Samsara. But I'm
going to try!
Your hotel (I hesitate to call it that....it's more like paradise) was
so much more than we ever expected. You were right about the seclusion
and the privacy. That's exactly the kind of place we enjoy the most.
The
physical beauty all around us took our breath(s) away over and over,
especially the view from the balcony of our Pillar House. Each morning
we would get up between 5:30 and 6, make a pot of
Jamaican coffee and find our way onto the balcony just in time to see
the fishing boats making their way across the water in the distance.
Before 8 am, we'd walk around and then sit at the bar, listening to
Iceline (sp?) upstairs getting breakfast ready as she sang a gospel
song
with that beautiful voice of hers. After breakfast, we'd find our spot
under one of the canopies and just "hang" for the morning. Getting a
little sun, swimming and snorkling off the cliff (Stephen jumped and
dived, I chickened out, preferring the ladder), reading, talking to new
friends and just enjoying the scenery and the changing colors as the
sun
got brighter. The afternoon was much of the same, only by then, we were
into the rum punch. Over the course of the week, I think we tried
nearly
every rum concoction on the Inclusive drink menu. We're not big
drinkers
by any means, but we that week, we indulged, I must admit. Words can't
describe the sunsets, as you well know. No matter where we
stood, on our balcony or down by the water, or at the bar or upstairs
in
the restaurant.....we were blown away by the beauty of those sunsets.
The food was very very good! Your were right, it's pretty basic, but it
was perfect for us. And everything was delicious. I didn't hesitate to
eat anything, by the way, or drink the water. As soon as I got there, I
knew it was all perfectly safe. One night, we went up to the Rock House
for dinner and that was very nice as well, but such a different
atmosphere. Not as easy and laid back as Samsara.
We ventured out a few times.....to Legends one day when it was rainy
and
cloudy, just to check it out, and walk on the beach. That was fun, but
it's such a different world down there. So congested with one little
hotel after another. We bought t-shirts, coffee, and a wooden mask from
a terrific artist on the beach whose work we fell in love with. Then
had
lunch at Legends. But quite honestly, we couldn't wait to get back to
Samsara! Another day, we took Moses' boat to the coral reef. It was
just
the two of us and 3 young men, all very nice. While snorkling,
Stephen's
wedding ring slipped off and sank to the bottom. Immediately, one of
the
guys put on his gear and jumped in, diving down to the ocean floor over
and over. Finally, Stephen spotted the ring, and our hero retrieved it
for us. What a relief! What an adventure! The snorkling was fabulous,
by
the way. Both at the reef and off the cliffs of Samsara.
We did Mayfield Falls another day and that was another great excursion.
There were only 6 in our group and our guide was fantastic. We also had
one of the digital photographers with us snapping lots of pictures. I
could not believe the sophisticated operation that have in that photo
shack! I would never have guessed that these guys would be so computer
and technology savvy!!! And of course, we walked away with a CD of
photos, which they burned for us in about 2 minutes! The heat up in the
Pillar House did not bother us one bit, due to that 5
speed fan overhead. We were very comfortable at night. During the day,
it was a bit warm up there, but we didn't spend much time there, only
in
the morning and the evening. Your staff......Sabrina, you have the most
conscientious and devoted
staff we've ever come across! Aside from Nicole and Pauline who watched
out for us and run a very tight ship, I would like to mention some
people in particular: Tanya who cleaned our room and made those
fantastic towel creations each day on the bed. I have pictures of them
all! The first day we got there and realized we had no shampoo, she ran
down the road and picked some up for us. Iceline (sp?) who served us
breakfast and lunch. Maureen, who served us our dinners. Dwayne, who
also waited on us from time to time and kept us laughing with his
riddles and puzzles to solve. The bartender in the afternoon and
evening.....I'm sorry but we never did get his name. Tall, good
looking,
great smile. I'm sure you know the one. The front desk staff and
security guard.....and everyone else who was so helpful. Oh, and we
can't forget about Lee! Our plane was delayed getting in, and he had to
wait an hour and a half for us at the airport. But he greeted us with
an
enormous, warm smile and gave us quite the guided tour during the ride
to Negril. We found the Jamaican people to be so friendly and
hospitable
every where we went. I liked the fact that there were relatively few
Americans there. We met
a couple from Philadelphia, but others people from Britain, Germany,
Australia, all over. That was very refreshing. People were friendly,
and
rather subdued, which is more to our liking than what I imagine to be a
more raucous crowd down at Sandals or Beaches or Rui. I know this is
getting to be quite long, so I'll end by saying that it was a dream
come true. We can't wait to get back to Samsara. In the meantime, I
grabbed a bunch of your brochures from the front desk
and intend to spread them around and talk about Samsara every chance I
get. So if you get any guests from NY in the future, you'll
know how they found out about the place!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We wanted to thank you again for the fine wedding arrangments that you
and your team made for us. We had an uneventful return trip home and
arrived on Thursday at about 8pm Central time. The temperature was
about 40 and today it reached a record high for this date of 51
degrees. Not quite up to Jamaican standards but it made it easier to
readjust. Chad left a picture of the wedding buffet at legends for you
and I wanted to make sure that you received it. I understand that you
also want one of the wedding arch. Chad and Sophia only had two
pictures with the arch so we will need to have one made and send it
back to you. Did you want only the arch or the arch with Chad and
Sophia in it? I took many digital photos and I can look through those
to see what I have with the arch. I know I took one of the arch alone
but not sure if I have any of only the wedding couple. Let me know what
you are interested in and we'll get them to you. Your recommendation of
Gary was a good one. He has a gift that is evident when you see his

Good Morning Keriann, Well we made it back safely. I just wanted to
thank you for all of your help in making our vacation so enjoyable. As
usual we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Your resort and staff were
wonderful. We are hoping to come back next year, but my son proposed to
his girlfriend while we were there and they are planning their wedding
date for next January so not sure what we will be able to work out for
our next trip as of yet. It is so hard to be back, my body is sitting
at my desk wading through all the work that has accumulated during my
time off, but my mind is still at Samsara's poolside. Please keep in
touch and let me know if there is anything at all you need that I could
send you. Thanks again for all your kindness and assistance!

Keriann, I want to personally thank you for the great room you
provided us, and your beautiful smile each morning! Ivy is a friendly,
gracious housekeeper, and she deserves a giant hug. Melvin, as always, is

Hi Sabrina/Keriann...
Just a quick note to let you know what a terrific time we had at
Legends last week :) Hard to believe this was our 8th time staying
there...no wonder it feels like home!!!
Loved Room 303 & that afternoon sun that helped dry off our bathing
suits & towels...it was perfect :)
Once again, Legends & SamSara has showed us "true" Jamaican
hospitality...guess that's why we keep coming back for more!!! A staff
that goes above & beyond is truly remarkable & you should be
very, very proud of them :)

My wife and I celebrated our wedding honeymoon at your
resort, September 8-15, 2004. Our first few days were
spectacular and we enjoyed the Jamaican hospitality,
all-inclusive. Unfortuneately, we also experienced the
forces of Hurrican Ivan, that devastated the beaches
on Friday, September 10 through the duration of our
stay. We were glad to be alive. We were especially
grateful for the wonderful care we received from your
staff despite the calamitous weather conditions. We
never went a day without food, and even had food
delivered to our rooms in the eye of the storm. We
especially remeber the names of 3 wonderful ladies who
went above and beyond. Their names are: Janice, the
head bartender; Beverly, our housekeeper, and most of
all we sincerely thank Yvonne, our cook and server.
Because we spent the majority of our vacation unable
to truly experience Legends, we were hoping you would
consider granting us a commplimentary trip. We would
love to enjoy Jamaica, the way it was meant to be
enjoyed. Sincerely, Michael Geary

To: Sabrina and the staff at Legends We are back on the job after our

Just wanted to contact you and say "Thanks" for the great hospitality
shown to my wife and I and our traveling friends, who had a great
wedding on the beach. Also, we really appreciated the effort that you
put in to get out friends next door to us with the "ocean view" rooms.
They enjoyed their first visit to Legends. We also noticed the
improvements that are being made on the property, the resort really
looked nice, especially since "spring break" was just getting over! We
will continue to consider "Legends" a great place to relax, enjoy the
beach, and let the staff take care of our needs! Hope to see you again

Hi,
First of all I'd like to thank everyone at Samsara for helping me enjoy
my vacation despite the mix up in plans. All in all, it was a pleasant
experience. It seemed to work out even better than I expected because
when I got to Legends, I was in a room with air conditioning. That was
helpful for health reasons. Your property is very well maintained and
the staff treated everyone respectfully and with a friendly attitude.
It made a good impression on me and that might mean future business for
you. Thank you and keep up the good work. Respectfully yours,

Dear Ariel, Charmaine, Carlos, Angela, Nioka, Evan, Barbara, Hillary,
Randy and all!! Thanks you all again for a magnificent time!! We have
never felt so at home anywhere apart from home! You made our vacation a
time that we will remember forever..
My wife and I just returned from our first ever trip to Jamaica. We
were booked into the Legends hotel. We stayed 10 days (Nov. 3-13th).
Just before we left on our trip, we read some reviews and thought we
had made a mistake. Let me tell you how it went.
When we arrived, we walked down a stone path under a canopy of flowers
and trees (the pictures on the website are older and they don’t do the
resort justice. The trees and flowers are fantastic!). We were greeted
at the office by Charmaine, one of the managers. We were shown to one
of the Garden rooms across the street from the “main” hotel. We
ascended an outside Spanish style staircase to the second floor. Our
room was well appointed and as clean as a whistle (also air conditioned
with a great ceiling fan!). Our maid kept it just that way through our
entire stay. Across the room from the entry door were double glass
doors that opened onto a balcony that – again – was surrounded by
beautiful trees and flowers. My wife and I spent hours sitting there
together just talking and taking it all in. The next morning we went
for breakfast. It was great! Evan and Barbara served up a wonderful
variety of foods with a joyful attitude! The wait staff (Angela, Nioka,
Simone and Hillary) treated us like gold! (Every meal after that was
equally as good and the service just as fantastic!) Any other needs
that we had were quickly taken care of by Carlos, Ariel (the other
managers) or Charmaine – and ALWAYS with courtesy and a smile! Then
there’s that wonderful beach! Randy was the man on the beach. He took
care of our every need, and we became fast friends. We sat under a palm
tree, sipping Pina Coladas. Every so often we would get up and go into
that magnificent ocean. Do you get the picture? One thing we kept
asking ourselves while we were was "How could anyone complain about
this place?" One writer said he would not recommend Legends to a first
time visitor to Jamaica. The ONLY thing that would keep me from
recommending Legends to anyone is that my wife and I want it all to
ourselves!! Bill & Tina

I recently stayed at Legends Beach Resort with my 2 best friends. We were
there from 4/3 - 4/8 in room 611. It was our first time visiting Jamaica
and I felt compelled to write to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay
there. We felt the staff at Legends were very friendly and it was very
obvious how hard they all worked. The ladies that worked in the office were
very patient with us, as we were in and out a lot, cashing in $ and asking a
billion questions. One lady, named Janet, was very accomadating. I also
wanted to make note of a gentleman employed there by the name of Sylvester
Morris. He was exceptionally nice to us, answered a lot of questions for
us, and I feel we left there making a new friend with him. We were
impressed with how hard he worked- we saw him every day we were there! I
think it is important to let a business know when they have a good employee,
and we felt compelled to tell you how impressed we were with Sylvester. He
was very professional and helpful!!
I'd also like to note that the housekeeping service was very good, our room
was always very clean.
We also made friends with Captain Moses and his staff and was very impressed
with them, too. They took us snorkling, our first time, and was very
patient with us (we were a little scared at first, being from Indiana).
They helped us out a lot.
We will recommend Legends to anyone we speak with, and hope to return as
soon as we can!!
Thanks again for providing us with such friendly service!!

Hello Sabrina & all at Samsara, Had a great time, the Hotel is very
neat and clean, the grounds are nice, the staff is great - Ron, Judy,
Hillary, etc. The food was much better than I had heard - the pan fried
snapper at lunch was always good, tried a pizza the last day, too -
also good. Dinners were always good - not a lot of items to choose
from, but to me it is better to make a few items very well as opposed
to many items done mediocre. We spent two days at Legends, also. The
food was good there, also, staff there also very good. I loved the
"Zombie" drink!!!! I am going to post a nice review of Samsara &
Legends on www.negril.com, the only thing that I would change is the
fact that when we got there, the office was closed, so we couldn't
check-in until the next morning. We were supposed to have two beds, as
well, but at least we got a small cot type bed the second day. I think
we ran the air-conditioning the first day, and that was it, and
although I had asked for an ocean view, I loved the view from 209 - too
bad it doesn't have two beds, because when we come back next year, I
would ask for the same room!!! All in all a great trip, Dave from Room
209

We are very sorry, because we don't remember everybody's name ( hello to

we knew on first name basis from day 1), to Frank the Juta driver, was
wonderful and a true joy to deal with! We were much lazier this year
and spent more time on sight than usual. The TV's were a wonderful
addition, we loved having the morning news. We have tentative plans to

Hi Sabrina...
Well, the vacation laundry is finally done so I figured I'd drop you a
line.
It was so nice to finally meet you!!! Was hoping you'd stop by Legends
during the week to visit...hope Bob didn't scare you...LOL!! Just so you
know we had a wonderful time in Negril. The weather was perfect...lots of
sun & warm breezes. Everyone truly went out of their way to make this trip
one of the BEST. The food on the buffet was very good...especially when you
had all of Bob's favorite "eats"...eggs (sunnyside up), fried dumplings,
hash browns, chocolate muffins & mashed potatoes. My faves were stew beef,
curried goat, omlettes & EVERYTHING on the Italian Buffet!!! Now I'm glad
we had the oceanview room so we could work off all those calories :) I like
to call those steps...my Jamaican Stairmaster, kinda hard to get used to in
the beginning but by the end of the week, they're a breeze. Guess we'll
have to add #501 to #306 as being our favorites. Thanks again for coming up
with a room @ Legends on Saturday!!
A couple of days we went over to SamSara...we haven't been there since
you've remodeled the bar & pool area. What a relaxing place to go for some
cocktails & sunset. Maurice remarked to us one morning how much he loves
SamSara...well, walking thru the gardens was so peaceful...I think I used up
1/2 roll of film just taking pictures of the plants & flowers. As much as
we enjoy the beach it's always nice to know that SamSara is there for "that"
change of pace!
Bob & I hope you & Maurice don't get too tired of us raving about your
resorts & the FANTASTIC people you have working for you. I always make it a
habit on the negril.com message board to tell people that Legends & SamSara
have the BEST people on staff...they don't get no friendlier/efficient
than...Yvonne, Michelle, Andrea, Clover, Ralston, Ruhon, Johnny Money, Norma
(Housekeeping), Maxine & Marcy (Beach Security), Lee (cab driver across the
street) AND the folks over at SamSara...Lily, Ron, Carlos, Nyota & Julie.
Oops...don't want to leave out, Bob's "brother"....Class!!!
Hoping to squeeze in a trip sometime this winter but if not, we'll
definitely be back in May :)))
Take care,

i would like to thank the samsara and its staff (hi, lilly! hi ivy!)
for the wonderful vacation they recently provided me. if one is going
to negril, one can't do better than a stay at the samsara on the cliffs
of negril's very cool west end. the setting is unique--and gorgeous.
one has a choice of any type of accomodation from a pillar house to a
cottage to a hotel room. the breakfasts are superb, the dining room
staff wonderful (hello, all), and one can eat to one's hearts content.
there is no better offshore snorkeling (which i call "instant
serenity!") than that found off the cliffs of the samsara. one can go
west and see the cliffs, a cave, and many, many fish, or to the east
where there is a fantastic large cave and coral--all free. if one wants
to go on a glass bottom boat to snorkel the reefs or just look "through
the looking glass", the boats cruise by the samsara every morning. one
can snorkel almost to the beach area...however, if it is the beaches
you want, the samsara provides a courtesy bus that leaves for its
sister hotel, legends, at 10am and returns at 4 pm. great for getting a
tan, having a few drinks,--or shopping!! the samsara is within walking
distance of a grocery store, small shopping plazas, ital restaurants,
and not far from rick's cafe--where you might see the "green flash".
(the samsara itself has a great restaurant and also entertainment so if
it is pure r and r you want. you need never leave "home".) if, however,
you want to explore, the samsara provides many, many tours from which
to choose. your fellow vacationers at the samsara will be from many
countries. as usual, i met the most congenial people this year: folks
from england, italy and germany, as well as americans. it was great to
meet people from so many different places. the samsara truly has an
international flavor!! and no one is nicer or more willing to go out of
her way to make your stay special than sabrina and her staff. i have
stayed at this hotel five times and am already planning my sixth!! so,
greetings to all my jamaican friends, and i hope to see you very soon!
thanks again for a fabulous eight days. all best, shelle s.
