Not a place to stay if you have breathing issues
The Hotel Ambra is a mixed pla e for me. The staff and their willingness to be of assistance was excellent. I liked them very much. They worked hard to keep a very clean hotel. Kudos for that. However, in three days I was in three different rooms because of an odor/scent that was pervasive in each room. The second room had ants galore, enen in and on the bed. The third room produced the worst night of sleep I can ever remember having. The bed and pillows just did not work for me. Despite having paid for a full weeks stay, I left on day three because I could not bear to subject my body and mind to another night of torcher. I liked the people but hated the rooms.

Prior to arriving, I called the hotel to ask for an early check in, the receptionist told me yes. Upon arriving, the reception area smelled very bad of food and the receptionist from sitting down was yelling to me at the door, check in is at 3pm. I used translator to tell her I called and she told me I could arrive early. She agreed. I would suggest give better service to new guests. I have never been greeted in such a way by being yelled at across the room when arriving anywhere and I am a worldly traveller.

Does the Job!
We stay here sometimes between Cancun and Tulum when our flights get in late or leave early. Its right off the highway and has parking. Rooms are basic, but clean and everything works. There is a restaurant open late right behind the hotel, an Oxxo next door, and a mall across the street. Price performance is good.

We had an amazing 3-nights stay here, the location is very close to a lot of places. The place is nice, simple, and clean, especially for its price. The staffs has been super friendly as well, they provided all we need you just got to ask, they also showed us a close local food place which we really loved! Will definitely book with them again!

It would just be nice if the guest didn't have to ask the staff for 2 days to get the dishes to the kitchen. Especially if you book a room with a kitchen, which you need for a diet. Everything else was ok.

Newly renovated, incredibly clean and wonderful staff. Bare bones hotel but there is a cafecito one block away for breakfast and a shopping mall across the street. You are about a 10 minute drive to the beach and 5th Avenue. Can't beat the price. There is a small pool and parking in the front and rear of the building.

The only problem was the patio door didn’t lock. I stacked-up furniture against the door that would knock over and awaken me if intrusion. Other than that it was a clean quiet place.

Stayed two weeks. The rooms are decently clean but the area is very noisy and all that sound comes right inside. It’s worse in the “apartment” style units with cooking facilities. They’re in their own tower and have two extra windows, plus the door opens to outside. As for the cooking facilities, they don not have a microwave as advertised and they provide no cookware or dishes or utensils - but they will promise to get them sometime in the future. They’ll also promise to get clothing hangers, but never actually will. There is no laundry on site as advertised. Not in the room and not as a service.
Night staff are rude, day staff are friendly if unhelpful. Night staff also cannot read Spanish well or understand any English, so be prepared to speak in only Spanish after 7 or 8pm if you need anything. The pool is sketchy and it and the main floor lobby area are sparse and unwelcoming. Do not expect to spend any time outside your room unless you’re leaving the hotel. There is a mall across the street. It’s likely one of the most expensive malls in the country, where you will find a very sketchy looking laundromat. The grocery store there is good for selection, but the prices are mismatched or simply untrue on most items we purchased. Air conditioning at the hotel worked very well and the wifi worked well most of the time. Bring your own Netflix account if you plan to use the tv at all.

Der var meget støj, både trafikstøj og støj fra f.eks. motor og maskiner fra hotellet...
Derfor kunne jeg ikke sove!.
