This hotel is not really for tourists. If you just want a nice clean place to stay for a night or two and you have your own transportation to get to the local attractions you will be satisfied. We reserved a room with a kitchenette but it was not useful because there are no plates, utensils or pots and pans, so there is no way to cook unless you know this ahead of time. The little pool is nice with a few deck chairs around for relaxing.

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.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I loved the location — it’s super central! There’s an Oxxo, pharmacy, market, and shopping center all around, which made everything very convenient and really saved my trip. However, there are definitely some areas to improve. The back parking doesn’t feel secure — no cameras or mirrors, and the security guard is only at the front and often sleeping. Same with the front desk at night — you might have to wait if they’re napping. The room was dirty the first day, with a humidity smell, ants, and mosquitos on the bed. Towels were very old and ripped, and there was only one bedsheet with the A/C. Not very comfortable unless you bring extras. The kitchen is nice, but you need to bring your own cookware, coffee maker, and plates. The fridge was great, clean and worked well. The second day the cleaning improved, but towels and sheets stayed the same. Overall, the location was amazing, but I hope they improve security, cleanliness, and comfort. Still, if you’re just looking for a convenient base to explore the area, this place works.

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!

Good property. Only about a 10 minute drive from the city centre but 40 min walk, So either be prepared to get at least 10,000 steps everyday or take out extra pesos to catch taxis. Right across the street from centro maya(strip mall) and there’s an otto right down the street (2min walk). Never felt unsafe walking alone at night.

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.

I had to leave early because the night clerk was agressive. He accosted me and said I did not pay the day before when I was going for coffee at 0700. The truth was dayshift did not record my cash payment, he also did not tell the truth. It took two hours to sort out. I was there on a business trip for two more weeks and checked out. Ive stayed at this hotel several times before. I will never be back. The nightshift worker is atrocious.

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.
