Looking forward to returning again (and again!)

This was our third time at the Luxury Bahia Principe Ambar. The check-in was super easy although I'm not sure why it takes place at the Ambar 3, where there aren't any rooms, while our room was in the always wonderful Ambar 1. The staff at every station throughout the resort, (housekeeping, gardening, servers, chefs, hostesses) are most gracious, happy and helpful. Their commitment to providing outstanding customer service is beyond expectation. The rooms are spacious and well maintained and [... read more] the bed was so comfortable! There were a few burned out light bulbs at the entrance of the room and the soap holder in the shower needed a bit of a repair, but other than that, the room was lovely. The food is delicious! We ate dinner at several a la cartes and enjoyed them equally as the buffet. The beach is beautiful and the maintenance staff work so hard at sweeping the boardwalk and clearing the sand from the lounges! Great job! The only thing that we found to be a little disheartening are the guests who save lounges at the beach and/or pool and never seem to arrive. I'm not sure the resort can prevent guests from being so non-courteous.

Bahia Principe Ambar

We went from June 22 to 29, 2016. This was our 3rd time to the Bahia Principe in Punta Cana. In general, we loved our trip. The only negative was the quality of the buffets. They definately cut down since the last time We were there. Some people told me that it could be because it was the low season???? It wouldn't prevent us from returning, but they need to be carefull that it doesn't continue.

Thank you Tanya

Last Minute Vacation

A well kept area of a 5 resort complex. The Ambar functions well an adult section but having to make reservations, beach towel cart, little entertainment made it feel more like a 4* rather than a 5* but overall was pleased with our choice for a last minute booking!

Amazing Resort

I traveled to Punta Cana with my daughter on May 27, 2016, we stayed for a week at the Luxury Bahia Principe Ambar and we had a great stay there. The resort was beautiful, loved the room, the food to die for, the drinks also to die for, the service was amazing, the employees very loving and helpful, loved the cleanliness of the place which it's one of the things I make sure to check everywhere I go. The beach was very nice, I loved that they had facilities for disabled people, like their own l [... read more]ounge chairs spot with umbrella, it was great for me. the beach was very wavy which made it hard for me but it was because of the weather, at night time we had thunderstorms. The pool was amazing with good music, entertainment and swim up bar. Also, there was waiters an waitresses taking orders at the beach and the pool. We loved all the restaurants we tried at our resort and in other Bahia Principe resorts. The resort has trains to take you to shows, disco and casino. I would like to thank Trip Central for the great service they provided to us, including our agent Ash Faramarzi who was on top of everything.

So and So

Nice huge resort with 5 hotels but only one theater in door and 1 out door ,buffer restaurant very much selection and not great for 5* hotel ......Need more entertainment and better food...plus improve map with clear detail like Bahia hotels in Mexico

Great resort

This resort was a great place to stay the staff where friendly and curtious to us and the activities staff made it fun to be by the pool every day the grounds where clean the resturants and wait staff made it a very pleasant dining expierance the only thing I found not to my liking was the temprture of the food on the buffet

Beautiful amazing resort

First of all the grounds are incredible, well kept and mature. Rooms are nice if a little dark, could use a lighting upgrade. Food in a la cartes real good, buffet good. Beach and pool, at least at the Ambar, are as good as you get. My only complaint was with the pool bar service, I'll politely call it slow.

Worst service we've ever experienced.

This is the worst vacation resort we've ever visited. The experience started with us being ushered into a small room for a speech about the resort. This was followed by arriving to a dirty room which was not ready. When they said it was ready, the room was still dirty. Every night we were eaten by bugs and woke up with marks all over us and our faces which was extremely embarrassing. The service was the worst I've ever seen. We'd arrive at breakfast without any offer of coffee or water most mor [... read more]nings. The buffets were terrible. Most days we struggled to find something to eat. i could continue to complain but I'd rather just warn you never to visit.

Great time

Awesome resort just a little larger than we are use to. Three large beautiful pools. Nice beach. Pristine grounds. Staff was a little less attentive than our stay at smaller resorts but overall great value for the price.

Great vacation

We stayed at the Luxury Bahia Principe Ambar. The hotel is beautiful with gorgeous grounds, very friendly service, super clean and excellent food. We would not hesitate for a second to return to this resort.

Beautiful resort!

We travelled to Luxury Bahia Principe Ambar May 15-22. The resort is beautiful. We stayed in the newer section Ambar 2 and our room was perfect. Very clean. The grounds are immaculate. Food was great - something for everyone. The only complaints we have is the service - it was a hit or miss - not 5 star service. We would have to wait longer than necessary to get our coffee in the morning even when it wasn't that busy. Wait staff weren't that friendly; not what we are used to for the Dominican. T [... read more]hey really need to invest in new pillows and bath towels for the rooms. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would go back regardless of the few mishaps.

Amazing Resort!

This is an amazing resort! House Band is great! Beach very clean! Buffet and A la Carte Restaurants gave Superior Food! We would come back and recommend to friends for sure! Hotel Staff very helpful! Bravo to the Hotel Management!

Paradise in Punta Cana!

Stayed for a week with my sister at this amazing resort with we had such an amazing time we didn't want to leave! Beach, Pool, Food, Rooms, Grounds, Shows are all perfect! Hotel staff and service is A+

My little piece of heaven

I have vacationed in Punta Cana 11 times, but I found my little piece of heaven at the Ambar resort where I stayed in 2013, 2014 and 2016. The Ambar was my husband's favorite resort because of the lush tropical landscaping, the pristine rooms, the beautiful beach and the wonderful staff. It only made sense that my first solo trip following the death of my husband on August 1, 2015 would be to the Ambar where I feel safe and comfortable. It felt like I had come "home". The grounds were impeccabl [... read more]y maintained with lush foliage. The walkways were well-lit and cleaned everyday. I always felt safe, even when walking in the dark at night. My room was large and inviting and I enjoyed the whirlpool bathtub during my stay. I appreciated the little box of chocolates left on the bed every night. Most of all, I was happy to see my Dominican "family". My plan had been to spend a very quiet week (May 6-13, 2016) reading and doing yoga, pilates, tai chi and water aerobics. (Many thanks to José who taught these classes in 2013, 2014 and 2016.) Well, so much for my plans.... The entertainment in the Ambar lobby was extremely good. While I was certain that I would never dance again, three new friends that I met in Punta Cana (Donna R, Donna M and Vincente) as well as a member of the animation team (Carlos) got me onto the dance floor where I learned to move and smile again. Given the abundance of excellent food and premium drinks on the resort, it was a good thing that the music called to me and helped me burn off a few calories!! I cannot thank the management team enough for ensuring that I had a room at Ambar 1 where I had stayed with my husband in 2013 and 2014 and where I was familiar with the layout and the staff. I owe a debt of gratitude to the musicians, animation team and to my new friends who helped me stand on my feet again and to see joy in living and dancing. I am looking forward to returning to the Ambar in 2017..... Did I mention that I love this resort?!!!! Cathy

Nearly Perfect

Very happy food wise, amenities, exquisite property. 3 cons: never any beach towels available, lots of empty cups on the side of the pool and encountered a lot of grumpy staff members. Overall though, really happy and would definitely return! Love the Bahia chain!

Would Return!!

The resort was well maintained, clean, friendly, hard working staff. Food was overall an 8 out of 10. The beach was beautiful to walk along even with all the crowds. Very busy resort! I could complain about a couple of small items, but they didn't ruin my vacation in any way. My friend and I met a great group of people on the catamaran excursion to Saoma Island and believe we have made some life long friends.

Wow

We were soiled, everything was wonderful!!!! The service was top notch. The room was clean and the staff were so friendly. The best resort we have been to. We were close to the beach, pool, and the lobby , everything we wanted.

Best resort

6 time to Bahia property and 3rd time to this one and i don't have a negative thing to say and I stayed in Ambar adults only section and for best building for view and closest to pool and beach #60210 is the way to go

Lovely resort and beach, good food, good service.

Fantastic beach with lovely resort grounds. Service was average for DR which is not a bad thing. Booked in the new section (building 82) which is in an excellent location. New section is less busy so you can get a lounge chair by the pool without having to get up at 5am. Large resort with lots to do and offers a lot of amenities.
