I just want to thank you for a great holiday. We visited many Caribbean destinations in the past, but this was absolutely the very best. We will be back Arthur Jackie. We stayed at
Club Ambiance 19-26th March and it was exactly the kind of holiday we were looking for. Firstly Jamaica is a beautiful country and we would advise anyone to go.
Club Ambiance is a nice hotel and almost all of the staff are brilliant. Anything you want, they will sort it out No Problem Mon. Big shout out to Alvyn ye mon, Macho wheres my T-Shirt, Omar Wha gwaan Gangsta, and Colin who makes the best-fried eggs in Jamaica and thats just to name a few. The
rooms are 1st class just like our maid.
Pool was perfectly fine and beach was immaculate. All staff work hard from early hours to ensure this hotel is spotless. All in all this was a top holiday and we would recommend this resort and Jamaica to anyone. We would return anytime we could. P.s. a week isnt long enough we wish we were back D Kt. Once again CA lived up to our expectations, excellent food friendly staff and really relaxed atmosphere. This was our 3rd
trip to CA and we will be back again..
Rooms were always clean with extra touches of flowers and towel art on the bed. For a really relaxing holiday this is the best. Barry. I visited Jamaica for 10 days in January. I stayed in the hotel with my mother and was bit concerned about the adults only hotel thing, wondering if we had let ourselves in for week in a hedonist camp! Luckily this was not the case instead we spent the week in one of the most warm, welcoming and truly relaxing hotels that I have ever visited. The location of the hotel is brilliant. The hotel is located right on the water front with it's own private beach and with easy reach of Dunns River Falls and Ocho Rios.The beach is spotless, there are plenty of
sun beds and hammocks.
Rooms are of a good size with a King size bed
satellite TV and large
fridge. The staff is very friendly, keen to entertain and really want to get know. You have the opportunity to go snorkelling and kayaking daily (free of charge) and there is a diving school on site. The evening entertainment is fab and the food to die for!! I had a fantastic time and would recommend and would recommend that everyone and anyone go visit
Club Ambiance. PT. My fourth visit to
Club Ambiance and was just as good as the first. Staff even remembered what I drank from the previous year so I didn't have to ask when I went to the
bar. A few staff have changed but are just as friendly and fun as the ones who have left and go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Went to the Smile Jamaica Concert and was in my element paying my respects to Bob Marley. If you are going to Ambiance and need a good
tour guide ask for Moodie, great sense of humour and full of knowledge about Jamaica.
Safe driving and always reliable. Big hello to the entertainment staff Lameka, Kirk, Damien, Macho and to the resident band Four Real Boys. Have booked my return at the same time next year to do it all again. Deb. We have just arrived back from 2 great weeks at
Club Ambiance. It was everything I was expecting after reading previous reviews on this site. I was impressed with the speed that we were cleared at the
airport and the journey to CA was not that bad. On arrival at CA we had a very warm welcome and given a nice cold fruit punch and check in just took a few minutes. we were shown to our
room by the porter. The
room was spotless and very comfortable. The staff were just great throughout our stay and could not do enough for you from Merther who cleaned the
room, Colin who cooked the
breakfast omelettes, Milton and Stacey the waiters and Bethenie, Junior, Faith and Philip from the
bars just to name a few. The entertainment crew of Maleka, Macho man and Captain Kirk tried very hard to keep every one entertained. The food was very good well presented and plenty of choice. I would recommend this resort to anyone looking for value for money. Plonky. Best holiday we have been on. Friendly staff, great entertainment, clean
rooms, good food. Beautiful weather what more can you ask for. Private
taxi driver to take you to some fantastic sites. Close to good places to visit. Can't wait to come back. We had a fab and memorable time. Made some good friends during our stay. GB
