Chamarel Holiday Packages

All inclusive included buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. Food was nice and a selection of local drinks. It also included water sports in the marine park and use of most hotel facilities. We paid extra for some spa treatments. This hotel is advertised as 5 star and maybe when it was first built it may have been, however it is in need of some maintenance. Our room had the phone cable sticking out the wall and the shower screen door was not the original, meaning the bathroom got soaked. There were also no complimentary toiletries. I would class this as 3 star at best.

The Ambre delivered on many fronts and its reputation lies very squarely on its staff. We had excellent service throughout our stay , lots of choice for meals, lots of sun beds (although there was the rush to secure them pretty early and then disappear off to other areas leaving a lack of the more popular ones) The biggest bug bear for us was the smokers around the pool. There is a dedicated smoking area just outside reception but most smokers lit up at their sun beds....cigarettes, pipes and even little thin cigars. It spoiled the holiday for us...we just couldnt get away from the smoke. The hotel (while well run and with the beautiful hard working anazing people) was not luxury...it was old and tired in many places..we changed rooms on rhe 1st day due to issues. I tripped outside the gym and fell cutting my knee which was caused by an uneven raised flagstone. We loved the view and the weather even the rain....but it wasnt quite as amazing as it looks on photos and videos we saw before we came. Many thank to the staff. They really are amazing.
