We booked the punta cana resort, but happily got upgraded to the ambar section(adults only). The rooms were beautiful- marble bathrooms with robes and slippers. We were on the 1st floor in section 65, right in the middle of everything. The pool was so relaxing and nice and cool. The food was good. We choose the Japanese restaurant which was... more

We stayed at the Ambar during the week of 6/8. We had great weather untl the end of the week. The beach was probably the nicest we've been to, having been to places like Paradise Island, Cancun, Riviera Maya, Jamaica. The topography was stunning. The resort itself was impeccably clean. Rooms were nice but musty smelling. The language barrier (we... more

We stayed at the Ambar for 1 week starting June 8th. We were checked into a ground level room and were not able to move to a higher level. The Ambar's main restuarant was a buffett and the food was reasonably good. We had 2 reservations at the a la carte resturants prebooked through Air Canada vacations. We could not... more

My wife and I went to this resort in the 8th of June week. This is our second trip and the second for the same "operator", bahia principe. We went to the bahia principe Akumal (Riviera Maya) 2 years ago and loooove it (I will let you know of the differences at the end of this quick review). Going back... more

If you are looking for a relaxing vacation, DO NOT STAY HERE. The service was the worst I have ever seen, esp for a four star resort. Upon checking in they were very rude and unaccomodating and do not speak ENGLISH well. The food was awful, but even worse were the drinks. How hard is it to make a Pina... more

Ahhhh the Ambar, after being home for only a couple of days i already miss the place lol. My better half and i travelled there from the 31st of May to the 7th of June. By far the best trip i have been on, i mean a couple of minor complaints but really, nothing major. I have been to both... more

My sister and I (both in our mid 30's) stayed at the Ambar from May 24-June 1. The following is a breakdown of our experience: Check-in: Our group arriving from the airport was fairly small, so we weren't checked in on the bus like other groups i've heard of. The bus dropped us off at the Bavaro lobby. Most of... more

Booked my package to the Ambar 8 days before my departure, and got a great deal. Next day I read some of the negative reviews on here and got a bit nervous and bewildered as the Ambar is rated 5 plus stars, which from my experience in the Caribean usually means that you can eat off the floor. The one... more

We stayed at the Ambar from May 16-30. We received nothing but courteous service the full two weeks we were at the resort. We enjoyed the 8+ a la carte restaurants thoughrout the Grand Bahia Principe property. That being said, we've travelled to Punta Cana 7+ times and it's one of our favorite vacation spots in the Caribbean but the... more
