- Dave CAlexandria, VA1,601 contributionsThis 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.Written 8 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HospitalityProsTennessee294 contributionsOne 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!Written 12 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.Written 8 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Allen BMuskegon, MI1,221 contributionsThis 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.Written 8 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
