Samba Vallarta was absolutely stellar. I know it may seem like I'm exaggerating, but their customer service was great from start to finish. The Resort is located in a private (gate secured) community. In addition, the resort also is secured. There are many food options available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everyday, there are new food options available. Food is served buffet style. There are vegetarian, meat and kid friendly options. The place overall is family friendly.
