Just got back from Club Ambiance this week and I was very disappointed in the resort. I had read all the reviews and was so excited about going. This was our fourth time to Jamaica but we normally stay at Sandals Inn. However, due to work, we had to do our spring vacation in February and Sandals was booked. We... More

My wife and I are just back home from our fourth holiday at Club Ambiance in Jamaica.WE are both retired but very active and find that the atmosphere at Club Ambiance for us is ideal,While as some writers say the general decor and appearance of this little resort looks a little tired and could use a bit of attention this...

We have been to Jamaica many times and have stayed at the Sandals Resorts. However, they have priced themselfs out of the market as far as we were concerned. We decided to try Club Ambiance. The rooms & locaion of the rooms to the ocean, were as good if not better than Sandals. In almost all cases you either were... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks Jan 6-20, 2012. Our general impression of the hotel was not what was described on-line. It was the complete opposite of what the pictures and descriptions depicted. The hotel was very clean, service was excellent, staff excellent and very friendly; couldn't do enough for guests and food variety and preparation was good.... More

Our 6th visit to Club Ambiance and it is still as wonderful as the first! I was worried heading down this year as I heard the new owners were not taking care of the place like they should. I can tell you the place is still magnificent! How can you go wrong when you have the amazing staff that CA... More

If you like authentic, real island experiences and not large complexes, high rises or carnival type adventures then you will love Club Ambiance. This small, adults only, hotel is a true Jamaican gem where the staff is real hospitality, genuinely caring, fun and yet very professional. The food is good Jamaican food (tasty, plentiful, and varied), not fine dining brought... More

Travelled to Club Ambience with my wife in late January, 2012. The hotel is out of date as has been mentioned, but it is well maintained and kept clean. It does not take long to feel at home here and by the end of day one we felt very comfortable. The food was very good and plentiful, maybe without the... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for 1 week, did not want to leave. Staff were amazingly accommodating and great to be around. The food was excellent with great varieties every night was something different. The building was dated but clean. My only complaint was that the pool was a little dirty during our stay. Highly recommend if you want to... More

When the bus dropped off and we were walking in, I thought we made a huge mistake. The outside is gaudy looking to say the least. Kind of looks like it has been painted over with 20 coats of paint in an ugly yellow. When we arrived at our room it was clean but very old looking. Shower sprayed water... More

We celebrated our 36th Anniversary at Club Ambiance January 12th - January 19th. We found traveling on a Thursday to be great, low crowds everywhere. First thing I noticed when we arrived was the fresh paint on the buildings. Check in was quick and we were given the room we had requested. It looked like the bathroom had been updated... More
