It's a simple laid back small hotel situated on a great stretch of beach. The food and service is simple, but very Jamaican, and the staff are super friendly. Loads of repeat business and no kids! Adults only is a nice touch. There are 3 small private beaches, and one of the beaches away from hotel offers clothing optional.
What I wish I
could change:
Club Ambiance is not a mega resort with hundreds of rooms, but that's the charm of the property! Many of the repeat guests are there for that reason.
Why YOU should
go:
If you are looking for an adults only all inclusive on a budget, and aren't fussed on staying in a big chain style hotel, then this is the place for you. The hotel has many repeat guests who just love the simple approach to life.
Club Ambiance is a casual beachfront adults only all-inclusive resort. Relaxed atmosphere and numerous activities, along with the great food, make this the perfect vacation spot! For those that don't want a mega resort.
