“Nothing but R & R”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2010

This resort has everything needed is rest and relaxation is on your itinerary. From the wonderful front desk personel to the staff at the bars, restaurant, entertainment staff everyone served it up with a smile, handshake and friendly Jamaican hospitality. The resort could use a little TLC but in my opinion it adds to the flavor and experience of being an established boutique style resort. I really enjoyed the fact that you could really unwind here.
The beaches are small and water shallow. I would of loved if anything deeper seas to allow for some swimming. The beaches however were always kept clean and raked over each morning. There is alot of pride taken in this resort by the staff and it clearly shows in all the guests that continue to return year after year.

This is our second trip to Club Ambiance, our fifth to Jamaica. If you like to stay in your room, watch flat screen TV with the A/C on, stay in the USA. Yes, the rooms are not plush, but they are clean and have everything we need to enjoy our stay. We have enjoyed meeting people from all walks of life and really enjoyed those we became acquainted with on this trip. All the staff is friendly and always make you feel welcome. We love the fact that there are only 90 rooms, so there is never a huge crowd, with plenty of beach chairs and shade for when the heat becomes too much. We love CA just the way it is and hope it never changes. This is the most relaxing vacation ever! As a side note, we have a friend in Jamaica who picks us up and returns us to the airport, and takes us on tours as we want to go. We always feel very safe with him. Feel free to contact us for his phone number or any information you may need.

“WHAT AN AWESOME VACATION”

My husband, some friends, and I went to Club Ambiance for a week and had the best time. The staff was excellent, rooms were clean and food was great. I had one problem with my room and the adjustments were made immediately. They were eager to satisfy my concerns. I had never been to Jamaica before and Club Ambiance made it an experience I will never forget. We were not ready to go. Phillip, Mark, Maria, Captain, Omar, Junior, Barnwell and the rest of the staff were all wonderful. The hotel is not all that big and fancy but there is a lot of care, attention, great fun and big love there. Like visiting family. Jennifer, Harris, Brenda, and Ken, we highly recommend Club Ambiance for a wonderful vacation. ALABAMA TO JAMAICA

There are many great things about Club Ambiance: the staffI is wonderful , the food is tasty and the drinks are plentiful. I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about the staff. Barney, Kerry, Nigel, Melonee, Jr., Maria, Dexter, Omar, Tenaj, Joseph, Tindel, Sean, Tony, Marvin, Martino, Sonalee, Philip, Mark, Richard, Eustace, Colin, Lisa B., Vinet, ....I could go on and on... Bottom line, the staff is top notch!. The resort is not too big, which is great for getting to know other travelers as well as meeting everyone that works at the resort. My husband and I met many people from all over the world and walk away with some great memories.

The only minor incident was we were without air conditioning for two nights. At first we were a little cranky abou the situation but we then decided to look at it as we were experiencing the real Jamaica! :-) Hot, hot, hot!!!!

Overall experience at Club Ambiance was a positive one and I would recommend this hotel to other travelers!

“best value adults only a/i”

that I've found in my 30 plus years of travelling to Jamaica.

Paul Williams our driver picked us up at the airport (NO waiting on Paul), stopped at Scotchies to get some local fare (only to find out it was Jamaica day lol at CA when we arrived).

Check in: smooth and pleasant dealing with the lovely Anne at reception. THANK YOU Loraine for the nice view room :) :) :)

Always nice to have a big clean room. We love our housekeeper (2nd time we've had her)...she was so great to clean around our schedule. Mini fridge is handy, as is the coffee maker & supplies, also the iron and board is a bonus.

Food is fine. Repetitive after a couple of days just like all a/i's I've been too. Best thing I ate was the pumpkin soup...YUMMY. Lots of choices and no one will starve lol.

Bar: bar service here shines imo. Excellent staff...some real shining stars like Phillip. Didn't see much tipping happening :( Please tip if you can!

Entertainment: fun times. Pretty good stuff for the price point. I've paid more and had less. It's all what you make it right? You can hang on your balcony and have a private party (tee hee), see and hear all the show if your room faces the stage on that side.

Good times were had by us. We really enjoy this resort due to it's size (small), location (North Coast for personal reasons), ADULTS ONLY (yay), view rooms, staff and COST. Great value for what you pay and get. This was our third time here in 1.5 years.

Great to finally meet Kall in person after all these years here together...btw girl...we didn't get any 'white' new towels...just sayin....get on that will ya? lol.
