My husband and I bought a groupon for this resort and as our vacation got closer, the reviews started to get worse and worse. Well, there is nothing to worry about because we had a wonderful time! We did have one hiccup while we were there. Our room was extremely noisy because there was a band playing right below our... More

We have been to many resorts around the world, some more expensive and more upscale. However, when it comes to the friendliness of the staff, the outstanding food and the wonderful layout of the property, this resort is up there. The entertainment staff, kept us entertained and having fun. Even though it's a small resort, about 90 rooms, we would... More

We just returned from Club Ambiance and will return. The setting is perfect, small, quiet and relaxing. The food was outstanding! The rooms and the resort were clean. The band could have been better, they need to pick up the tempo and play to the crowd. They played the same beat over and over! The beaches were beautiful, staff was... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here in February of 2013 and really enjoyed it. It's smaller, as is described, but has everything you need. The staff was very helpful with things like when we couldn't get a chair on the beach and booking our ziplining adventure. The food was okay, but gets old after a few days. I recommend leaving...

We stayed for a week Mar 1-8/13. We really liked this older but very private, safe and friendly resort! Food was very good, never went hungry. Lots of choices for breakfast, always salad bar and soup that my husband enjoyed each day! Most days was fries (which I loved) and burgers, but they had salad bar and soup and desert... More

My husband and I were at Club Ambiance the week of February 23, 2013. We did research before we booked this resort. We have been to Jamaica before, to a five star resort, and that is not what we wanted this time. We wanted a cheaper vacation, without all the luxury that we were paying for, but mostly not using....

Had a great getaway with the girls. The staff is what makes this hotel so fun. You get to know everyone because the hotel is quite small so a lot of interaction between the guests and staff which is always good. The rooms were clean and water pressure was good. The food was ok, nothing to brag about. I preferred... More
