Fantastic Stay

Recently spent 5 days in Dominican at the Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar. Honestly I have really nothing bad to say about our stay. The food was fantastic with lots of options, we got a massage which was great and we had a private dinner on the beach which was very personal and romantic. The adults pool was a bit quiet during the day. Unless something was going on there was no music so we just started bringing our own speaker. The compound is massive, we barely saw any of it. I would have like [... read more]d to do more of that but honestly we didnt have a reason to. Yurta was one of the best restaurants to eat at. But honestly even the buffet is pretty rockin' The hotel mini fridge can be stocked as much as you want but if you plan to do any drinking in your room it may be easier to just grab a bottle of duty free on your way in.

Great girls trip

We had a amazing stay everything was wonderful pool grounds food room(upgraded to pool room fantastic) staff was amazing entertainment staff was awesome beach was well taken care of walked it every morning The butler we had went above and beyond for my daughter’s 30 birthday and made it a birthday to remember No complaints here will return

Grounds and hotel were great but not the vendors on site

We were at the on site vendors and they over charged me for a wooden statue by $600.00 no prices on any of the items and the prices change on a minute by minute basis. Will not go back there again. Lost all respect for this resort by not ensuring there on site vendors are capable of running a business properly. Now I am trying to get back some of my money. This wooden statue is only valued at $70.00 U. S.

Fabulous Resort

Loved his resort! Everything was amazing - great staff, great choice of food at the buffet, great à la carte restaurants. Our room had our own private pool - what’s not to like? Would definitely go back!

Not what i expected

rooms were old needed upgrade we were on the ground floor backed onto service rd , dirty and trash around, people tourists walking along to walk to beach could see it food was good we went to Bahi Aquaqmarie, every day as we enjoyed it better then Ambar, entertanment by the pool area was useless couldnt see would i return to it, no

Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar Punta Cana

This resort is overpriced; it is not a luxury resort. The 1st room shown smells really bad, 2nd room shown smelt very old, couldn't sleep 1st night. Complained and Mgr. gave us a room where there was no smell. Bed is very uncomfortable. Food is not bad in the buffet. We tried the Italian and Limbo restaurant, definitely not gourmet. Entertainment not good at this resort.

Ambar

Hotel was great. Limbo, MEAT, YURTI, FISH MARKET, PORTAFINO restaurants were excellant. Mashua service was terrible. Greek restaurant soso. The beach was terrible too much seaweed and had a bad smell. There was 1 afternoon when the beach was good.

Wonderful resort

This resort was 5 stars all round, the food, beach, pool, the staff were amazing. This resort was very clean, staff worked all day keeping it clean. The food was excellent, la carte or buffet always fresh and good.

Wonderful Resort

Visited the Luxury Ambar May 3, 2025 to May 10, 2025. Had a group of 13 for 50th birthday celebrations and had a corner swim up. We had an absolute blast. The staff was amazing and went well over my expectations with their service. We were luck to get a room dead center of the resort and had very short walks to the pool/beach area and to the lobby. For what we needed and wanted this resort came through and created fantastic memories. We will be coming back again!! 10 of 10 in my books.

Girls Trip 2025!

Our annual girls trip spent at the Luxury Ambar! Check in was easy. Our rooms were ready, which was welcomed especially after a long travel day. The reservation desk was very accommodating, given there were four of us travelling, we requested the same building and rooms close to each other, which they were happy to assist with, other resorts that we've stayed at not so much! The rooms were spacious and clean! The grounds were lush and clean. The pool was great lots of seating available, inclu [... read more]ding umbrellas, which was awesome. Daily activities by the pool were great. Our server Desiree was amazing always checking in to make sure we were well taken care of and hydrated. Yes we even had water once in a while.? The dinner reservations were a bit of challenge, Diana at the front desk was extremely helpful and made our reservations for us. The restaurants were good, the only criticism I would have is the food was lukewarm and not as hot as we would have liked. The buffets were great always more than enough for breakfast and lunch and ample food options. Raphe was our server at lunch everyday, he is amazing! Always greeted us with smile and made us feel so special, he was just as sad as we were on our last day. The entertainment in the lobby bar in the evenings was wonderful, from singers to karaoke we enjoyed them all. There were themed parties by the pool that catered to the younger crowd, so there is something for everyone! Thank you DR we had an amazing time!

Great Experience!

Great resort with great people! Good food, generous portions, clean rooms and facilities. Staff are very kind and want to ensure you have a great experience in the resort. Somewhat of a language barrier with the staff at times, but nothing that can’t be managed with some basic knowledge of Spanish words and saying, which is easy to come by at a resort this size.

Easy failsafe

Been to the luxury Ambar 2x now have to say both times was very pleased, went last year around the same time, weather was great some days a little rain but lots of sun and humid! We have done the swim out rooms both times and enjoy it very much. Fun to have a night at your room and order the room service for dinner!! Staff are great, remembered us from last year, service was good, food and drinks were great! They did a cool beach party during the day with food which was a new thing they were [... read more] trying out and I believe it was a success - hoping if I go back they would do it again!! Entertainment is always good, doesn’t matter if you don’t like what Ambar has to offer there are plenty of options all around and they are very easy to get to. For nightlife we went to sports bar because it was nhl and nba playoffs so every night was a great vibes!! Get the mozzarella sticks Casino is fun and disco is good but opens at 11pm!! Would say it is a great resort for couples or groups of friends!

Great place, we have more than 20 years using Bahia Principe

Bahia Principe has never been a bad choice, navigating the web site can be an issue its a little outdated. food and rooms always nice and staff wonderfully helpful. the resort in Mexico, the Akumal should be updated but still very nice. and Jenn Black, at Trip Central has been an awesome advisor

Amazing service

This was my 4th visit at Ambar and have noticed that the pool area does need an update and more umbrellas are for sure needed around the pool. I truly wish that the staff would enforced the do not reserve a chair rule as many were left empty for a major part of the day. The rooms are in really good condition, very spacious and the service is excellent in all areas of the resort. Daritza at the coffee, Desiree and Marlene at the pool, Michellie and Miguelina in the lobby bar. Service is very qu [... read more]ick at all bars and same at the coffee shop. Truly outstanding service all over the resort.

Great place

This was our first tome at this resort but will not be our last. The resort was a great place. Everything was clean and well kept, the service from the staff is amazing, food was amazing and the beach and pools were great. This was not an overly party resort which we liked. If I HAD to nitpick the only complaint was that some of the buffet food was not labeled. Aside from that everything was really great

Excellent Adults Only Resort on Bavaro Beach

The Bahia Principe Ambar is a beautiful property, with lush landscaping and many amenities including a Gym and Spa.The rooms are modern and very clean. The dining options are numerous, International A La Carte Restaurants and The Palymra Buffet which offers a different theme of cuisine every night. The one thing that sets this resort apart is the Professional Entertainment they offer every day of the week. Looking forward to returning in 2026.

Amazing Vacation

Resort: overall 4.5/5 and we would stay again! Location: only half an hour from the airport so that was a bonus! Grounds: beautiful; very well maintained; no garbage anywhere Pool: one large pool (but can visit others around the resort); water was warm; service great at the pool bar Beach: only visited once; got bad sand flea bites on the first day and did not return Food: breakfast = always delicious; lunch = also always good; dinner = mostly tasty (still enjoyed the food overall; but some [... read more] a la carte restaurants were not as good) Drinks: enjoyed the selection; great drinks and could always find something we liked Service: excellent everywhere we went; staff was friendly Rooms: got a corner suite; loved the bigger room; bed comfortable; everything was nice

Great resort

overall the resort was great. The only downside was that you paid for premium and were told that you could go to all others hotel bars and restaurants but then they wanted you to pay extra for the things that should have been included. That makes no sense. If a drink is included at your hotel it should be included at all the hotels. People were very nice and helpful, the rooms were clean and the entertainment was good. The restaurants were all booked and not easy to get reservations
