I Would Revisit Ambar...
Lobby bar wait staff (Ledy) was amazing ... Guest Experience person (Maria) was phenomenal ... Buffet wait staff person (Maria) was great ... Towel person (Ramon) was so polite ... Limbo bar person (Slim) created the Limbo bar pleasantry .... I WOULD REVISIT Ambar because of these persons ... They made my vacation wonderful 😊.... Each of them should be awarded for their excellence.

Apr 18, 2026Not great!
Resort in need of updating and repair! Main lobby blocked after rainstorm due to leaking roof! Clear evidence of rotting wood. That didn’t happen overnight. In addition pool tiles need replacing, patio chairs in rooms had broken caining on backs. Pool service limited due to lack of staff! One couple sent to hospital with food poisoning from Brazilian restaurant! Ruined their entire vacation. Cooks in ala carte restaurants need better training! Weather was great staff were hit and miss at best! Would choose alternate resort if I were to return!

Apr 17, 2026Fun At The Luxury Ambar
The staff at Luxury Ambar are amazing. We get wonderful service from Marlene and Desiree at the pool. Madeline and Rolando are excellent entertainment staff. And Haram helped us so much throughout our trip.

Lovely family holiday... but a few missed points
1 week family holiday, booked through Tui. Summary - a good week, but just a few points that were short of expectations. Check in was fine, but they'd ignored all requests (rooms adjacent, birthday) Rooms are huge, big walk-in shower, decent mini-bar, beds very comfy, but couldn't get the AC to switch off. We were up very early on the first day (5 hour time difference) and went to watch the sunrise. Very surprised to see 80% of sunbeds already reserved on the beach and around the pool. I followed the rules - no reserving.... and regretted it, as we couldn't find any shade when we got to the beach. From the 2nd day onwards we got up early and reserved sunbeds. Most beds stayed empty for most of the day, with only around half being used at any time. Food in general was excellent (one vegetarian in the group) - especially the omelette chefs at breakfast. However, at all meals, they had multiple dishes sharing just a few serving spoons. Annoying for a vegetarian to find the serving spoon for rice, stuck in a meat or fish dish! The a la carte restaurants were variable. MEAT restaurant was the highlight - excellent food and service. Mexican restaurant was very good (way too much food!) but the fish restaurant was poor. Quality of food was lacking, and the service was somewhat grumpy. Top tip - the coffee shop is excellent (and all included) - a range of coffees, cakes, sandwiches. Tipping - take lots of cash, in US Dollars. You can get change for large notes at reception, or small notes from the bar staff. From reading other reviews, we allowed $5 on the bed each day for cleaners, $1-2 for a round of drinks, $1-2 for the golf buggies which you need to get everywhere, $10 for meals. Things that could be better: Better information at check-in (there isn't a map of the hotel, and the App is NOT very clear either) We had to ask where the dining room was. Some drinks seemed watered down (especially the beer) - although was better at the beach bar. Stop people reserving pool/beach chairs! Loud music everywhere (there was always something going on in the pool, so we stayed mostly on the beach) I gather the hotel has just been sold to the Hyatt Group, so things may well change. Overall, a lovely week, nice weather, beautiful beach, comfortable hotel... but just enough niggles that I wouldn't rush back.
