Carol,We have been to both & we love them both... I would describe AMBR as a slightly more upscale version of Dreams... and VERY French. The food quality is as good, maybe slightly better. The beach is nicer then Dreams. Also, AMBR has the nicest beach restrooms on the island in our opinion - but we have not been to all. You will spend more at AMBR (mostly because of the cost of the chairs and umbrellas). If you do go, reservations are a must, especially if you want front row seating and your preferred lunch time.We had been going to SXM for 16 years before our first visit last Thanksgiving.. we find it a very relaxing and enjoyable day.. a bit pricey - but worth it!
IMHO I don't agree except for the statement that the beach is better. For us the food at Dreams was far superior, the welcome warm & sincere whereas food at AM wasn't as good nor as well presented nor as tasty as Dreams and it cost more. There was a chair charge at AM even though eating there and no charge at Dreams.
