This place was horrible! My friends and I could only bare to stay 1 night. We booked a reservation at another resort the following morning. The food was gross. There was NO beach, just some man made rock thing. Don't waste your time or money!

I was shocked that they created their own beach. It is sad, just sad. If you are going to Jamaica to enjoy the beach, do not stay here. Their 'beach' is tiny with shallow, still water and fake sand. It is some sort of ground rock and sand mixture. We didn't have any other real problems. The place is ok,... More

Very nice place. Simple, friendly, relaxing...no kids. Actually not too many adults either, as the place was pretty empty, but that contributed to its charm and relaxed atmosphere. I think they were in the process of changing ownership. Excellent, all-inclusive.

Stayed for 17 days inApril 2013. The staff was friendly, but not always accommodating. Rooms very outdated, moldy bathroom, no hot water for 3 days before I demanded a room change. Took 5 hours to clean new room. Beaches both lack depth and size. The water is only 3 feet deep and you cannot swim only float. Beyond the man... More

Sixth time to Jamaica, first for this resort. Let me start out by saying we had a great time, met some very nice people, enjoyed ourselves, despite the problems encountered. Our problems started shortly after purchasing the Groupon. I called the resort in November and booked with our credit card. The very next day our card was used 5 times... More

We’re a bit late in writing this review, but here goes anyway. This has been our fourth visit since 2009 and for the first time, we walked back in feeling as though we hadn’t left before. We were going to our home away from home. To make things simple, I’ll describe the pros and cons (as we saw them) by... More

2nd year back, it was a wonderful week, saw old friends, met new friends. Would love to return again if certain changes do not take place. Or if it is still open, just wondering how it can keep existing with so few people there. But truly love it here and the Staff is amazing, just sad to see some are... More

This was my first stay at Club Ambiance third visit to Jamaica. I chose the hotel based on a friends recommendation that stayed there in 2009. She had so many wonderful things to say about her experience that I decided to check it out. Since I was already familiar with the hotel I did not expect nor did I want... More
