Nice hotel. Rooms are good. Location is great. The pool is small but nice. Nice view's of the beach and ocean. If you don't have an ocean facing room the pool has great views. Restaurant is pretty decent. There is a small sports bar, and BBQ place across the street. Highly recommend both.

We have been coming here for a few years now every summer with our best friend who owns a week for memorial day. It is a really nice resort. Beach is beautiful, nice and relaxing. The room is always clean and comfortable. We only wish the facilities had an ice machine for hotel guests. The bathrooms at the pool are slightly lacking as well. One stall per gender and no child changing table for the babies. The walkway throughout the parking lot is very slippery. We were caught in a rainstorm recently and ran to our car for cover and a couple of us almost slipped on our bums. Otherwise, we enjoy our stay here overall.

I can’t say enough good things about the Redington Ambassador. The condo was well appointed, the view was amazing, you can touch the beach from the pool and the staff is marvelous. Every member of the staff was polite, friendly and very helpful. Thank you all for making our vacation special!

This place is great as long as you understand what you're getting This is a straight-out-of-the-50's timeshare that looks like it hasn't been updated since it was built. If you're OK with that (which I am), then it's a great place to stay. If you are looking for updated bathrooms and marble countertops, this is not your place! It sits on a beautiful stretch of beach and has a really nice pool and hot tub overlooking the ocean. There are a couple of restaurants and shops nearby, but it's by no means in the "center of the action," which again is fine with me. That means no crowds! If you like to walk on the beach, this place is perfect. One day I walked all the way to John's Pass on the beach. All of the staff that I encountered were friendly and seemed to work hard. The main reasons that I can't give this place 5 stars are as follows: there were some minor housekeeping issues with the room. Someone else's hairbrush and makeup wipes were in the bathroom drawer, and there were what appeared to be lipstick stains on the sheets. The next section is specific to the studio units. You really need to understand what you're getting if you book a studio. You are getting one of the bedrooms of a larger 2BR unit. It is a lock-off with a shared main door. You can hear everything that happens in the other unit. This wasn't an issue for me, but may be for many people. Let's just say this is not the honeymoon suite! Also, the unit is really small. There is no real bed, just a pull down Murphy bed, which is fine for a tiny person, but if you weigh more than 100 pounds, I'd guess it might be uncomfortable. Lastly, the fridge in the kitchenette desperately needs to be replaced. It is a single-door type deal so either you have to crank it up to 6 if you want to make ice (but then everything in the fridge freezes) or you have no way to make ice. There are no icemakers anywhere on property (which I find crazy) so you may have to do what I did and go down to Dunkin Donuts if want a cup if ice. This problem could easily be solved with a new $89 dorm fridge in the studio units. Again, this is only an issue with the studios. The studio that I stayed in was also very dark, and none of the studios have balconies. However, you can walk up to the landing area in the stairwells to watch sunrise. Nice view from the 5th floor. I'd definitely stay here again, but if I had a choice, I'd pick something other than a studio. Overall, great walkable beach, nice pool and hot tub, safe area!

I have been a timeshare owner at the Redington Ambassador for several years and have been visiting with family annually since I was 12 years old. I can’t mention enough about the amazing memories made here! It’s a slower-paced/family environment but is still really close to many fun things to do. The Amish creamery, good restaurants, John’s Pass and a number of boat tours have been some of our favorites. Amazing place to visit and relax!

An older property but still very nice and comfortable. The location can’t be beat — right on the beach and close to great restaurants and shops. There are some ongoing renovations due to hurricane damage from last year, but the building is well cared for and the staff are friendly.

My home away from home for 45 years! Endless years of beautiful memories. This is my happy place. The rooms are spacious, the staff is so kind, it’s literally on the beach. You walk out of the back and you’re mere steps from beach sand. And it’s in a convenient location to lots of delicious restaurants and shopping. My entire family loves the Redington Ambassador and we will continue to stay here until we can no more
