    Well worth the trip. Very inexpensive and we arrived early so there was little line up. Nice walk through the park on the mountain.

    When talking about our cruise, Ocean World Adventure Park is the crowning jewel of excursions. Our kids absolutely loved it here and so did my wife and I.
    + There is an enclosed beach with some water slides and an inflatable obstacle course.
    +Lifeguards are everywhere and life jackets are available for all guests.
    +The bird exhibit was SO MUCH FUN. The bird were landing on us and eating the included food. Some of our favorite photos from the entire trip are from the birds exhibit.
    +The drinks for the adults are reasonably priced and well made.
    +The seal show was so much fun and the kids loved seeing the animals.
    +The food court served tasty food and was reasonably priced.
    +There are no negatives about this location. It was pretty much perfect!

    If you are travelling with kids then this is an outstanding excursion! A perfect place to spend the day!

    This is a great beach with nice sand, no rocks, wide beach area with some wind and waves. Water was warm and lovely, seating was difficult however.

    This is still a nice visit, but it is small, the place was late to open, but the exhibits and unspoiled interior were still great. As predicable for a July, it was really hot, and surprisingly, this place had no taxis. Still, nice view, OK walk form most of the cruise ports, and a nice place to visit. Entry is about two dollars.

    One of four stops during our 8 day Carnival Cruise. The waterpark and pools at Amber Cove make for a relaxing day for all ages. We rented two umbrellas and got two waterslide passes for our kids. (About $70) The lazy river and pools are clean and well kept. Us adults loved the swim up bar and attentive service by all staff. Restaurants on site from hotdogs to seafood. A little something for everyone.

    They have water sports activities for extra $$ or rent a private poolside cabana or one over the water.

    The shopping at Amber Cove offers something for everyone from souvenirs to diamonds and rum. The property is spotless, no beggars and we felt perfectly safe the entire time we were there.

    Overall a big thumbs up and a great way to spend the day!

    It was an interesting stop that was provided as opart of our day tour. It was a very short tour inside, maybe 5 minutes, but the lady inside that gave us information as we walked through was very friendly. Yes, there are mosquitos and other insects in amber like in the movies. So cool. The gift shop is also very nice, but very expensive.

    Beautiful views! There just wasn't enough places to sit and enjoy the beauty and relax. And there is a lack of shade.

    This is an interesting church on the city center. A guide will take you on a 10 minute tour providing history and taking pictures for you. They will ask for a donation which is used for the local children.

    The go karts are tire and in need of love, but it's still lots of fun and the price is reasonable. Kids will enjoy it.
