My husband and I stayed at Ambiance March 19-26. It was our first vacation without our 16 month old. Our goal was to relax and enjoy some time away from work and parenthood. Ambiance did not disappoint!

We stayed in a standard room with a garden view. We had a peek at the ocean too. The room was very clean but nothing fancy. Two beds, tv, dresser, bathroom, and closet. I was hoping it would include a small refrigerator, but it did not. No problem. We went to Wal-Mart and got a cooler.

Our plan included daily breakfast. It was great! They serve until 11, so it's possible to eat a little later, then just only need to buy dinner! They had a good variety of food: omelets made to order, potatoes, pancakes, french toast (those varied by day), fresh fruit, pastries, juices, cereal, and toast.

The hotel grounds were beautiful. Someone was always cleaning something during the day, evening, and night.

We spent a lot of time on the beach. It was outstanding! Soft, white sand that is not hot and a huge beach with a ton of chairs. The water is nice and calm. The waitstaff on the beach took great care of us. Things were reasonably priced. We had lunch a few times there as well. Great food and drinks all week.

We were at Ambiance during the height of spring break season, but we didn't have problems with spring breakers at all. Sure, they were there, but during the day they were on the beach and at night they would go elsewhere. We could hear a PA system booming from several hotels down and we were so happy to not be there!

The hotel overall is pretty quiet. We did have a few mornings where housekeeping woke us up early making a lot of noise in neighboring rooms.

Overall, Ambiance Villas is a great place to stay. Decent rooms and an unbeatable beach!

Ambiance Villas is great if you are on a budget. The prices of the rooms were reasonable and the beach was clean and just amazing! 20 minutes from the airport and close to shopping and nightlife. The beach was big enough so you weren't on top of each other and the resort had enough chairs for everyone.

The staff was so-so. If you wanted water or anything, you had to go to the store in the resort and buy it. We didn't care b/c we were there for the beach and the sun!

Great size pool too! I have more pics if anyone is interested.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We are a family of five three kids 10, 8, and 8. We got a beautiful one bedroom condo on the main floor overlooking the beach. It even had its own patio! My boys 10, and 8 slept on the pull out sofa and they brought in a single roll away bed for my 8 year old daughter. The room is huge and there was plenty of space. The room had its own kitchen and HUGE table. We met up with my brother and his wife and they also stayed there. There was plenty of room to play games and have fun at night all in our room. The swimming pool was awesome. It was warm once you got into it. I would not have wanted it heated as it was hot there and the pool was the perfect temp. Plenty of chairs over looking the pool and you could even get drinks! The beach was really wonderful. Perfect for kids. Lots of sand and you did not have to worry about tides or them getting pulled under. You could go out a long ways and it was not very deep. For kids this is the best place. We walked the beach a lot and this beach was by far the best. It was really the perfect place for a family. There were no rowdy spring break crowd. The security was always around protecting which kept the people selling stuff and rowdy parties off the beach. Always plenty of chairs by the beach. The staff was very accomadting and willing to help you with what ever you needed. We had the included breakfast buffet and it was really good. They changed it a little bit every day and it was always good. We ate out for dinner most the time. The hotel had very good recommendations to places to eat. We also went to walmart. Kind of a scary bus ride. We did not speak much spanish though. Also, an important airport tip: We paid for round trip transportation from ourhotel before coming to Mexico. After traveling for 14 hours to get there with three small kids after you check through costumes you will be greeted with professional looking peolple that have there own service desks and everything right before you get out of the airport. Several of these people are standing at the exit acting like they were there to direct you to your transportation. I made the mistake of stopping and saying what the name of the service was that we were taking. The person motioned us to the service desk acting like that was them. After 30 minutes of these people telling us about tours we finally figured out it was not even our transportation service. I had to be rude and just leave. Once out of the airport I found our transportation and we were on our way. But be prepared. What ever you do don't let them fool you into thinking they are helping.

The hotel was very nice. I can not complain. We toured a few of the fancier hotels there and the Ambiance was nicer in many ways. Very relaxing, comfortable, safe and the best beach.

After reading all the reviews.....it was exactly right. Perfect beach, perfect spot, perfect vacation. Breakfast was wonderful. Jesus, the waiter, was very good. Always felt very safe. Security guards were always watching to make sure things were safe. I would highly recommend this place. We did the Zipline tour. It was alot of fun, just watch out for trying to be ripped off on things. Cancun overall is alot of fun for the whole family. The only negative thing I could ever say about AV is that some night life activities for the teenagers would be nice. But it's not a resort, it's a condo. We had the two bedroom suite for 5 of us. Book this on your next vacation to Cancun.
