Nov 03, 2025Amazing holiday
The Bahia Principe Ambar is fabulous. Out of the 7 resorts within the Bahia Principe complex it has the best location, access to the beach via the pool in minutes from the lobby and large spacious rooms which are kept spotless every day. The food was delicious. The lobby buffet has a large selection for all meals and we visited a number of the a la carte restaurants in the resorts and the food and service were excellent. We mostly ate at Las Brisas, the beach buffet and a huge thank you to Meilenis, Rayphi, Ingrid and Arecelis for treating us like VIPs! The beach is beautiful, plenty of beach chairs and thank to Genaro and Gloria for looking after us! The pool area is great and again a big thank you to Yael, Johandri, Bianca and Estefania for keeping the drinks flowing! Entertainment is excellent! There were always activities every day at the beach, lobby or pool - aerobics, pool parties, crazy games, dance classes. Thank you to Maura for great service in the lobby. We really enjoyed the live music on most days, shows, sunset and beach parties. The entertainment team worked tirelessly every day and a special thank you to Alfredo (Popeye), Wilson, Yeimy and Ray for their energy, laughter and friendship! We would love to come back to this resort in the future.

Amazing holiday!
The Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar is just a fantastic place! It's part of the huge Bahia Principe complex of 7 resorts but this was delightfully smaller, tucked away in the best location - lobby to beach via the pool in minutes. The rooms are spacious and kept spotless every day. The grounds are also immaculate. Food is plentiful! The lobby buffet has a huge selection for all meals - there is absolutely something for everyone, and we visited a number of the a la carte restaurants and in both there and the buffet the food and service were excellent. We mostly ate lunch at Las Brisas, the beach buffet, and I want to send a huge thank you to Ingrid, Meilenis, Aracelis and Rayphi (aka for us Mamajuana Man) there for treating us like VIPs! The beach is a relaxing place and big thank you to Gloria and Genaro for looking after us! The pool area is great and again thank you to Yael, Johandri, Bianca and Estefania for keeping the drinks flowing. Entertainment is excellent! There is always something going on - aerobics, pool parties, crazy games, dance classes - at the beach, pool or lobby. Thank you to Maura for great service in the lobby! We were impressed with live music on many days, shows, and both sunset and beach parties. The entertainment team work tirelessly and I want to send a massive thank you to Alfredo (Popeye), Wilson, Yeimy and Ray for your friendliness, endless energy and laughter! You are awesome! Ciao ciao ciao :-) I would love to come back to the Ambar - and soon!

Best resort
I had a wonderful experience during my stay, big thank you to the house keeping staff who make our stay even better especially on my birthday by making two dove with red roses in my room and keeping my room clean and comfortable. As for the resturant staff everyone who we encounter was friendly and the coffee and drinks keep flowing 😉 omg not to mention the cart driver's always willing to help. I WILL DEFINITELY RETURN BUT THIS TIME WITH MY KIDS.

Oct 31, 2025Wonderful stay at Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar
For my 60th birthday I wanted to go somewhere different so we chose Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar in the Dominican Republic. First impressions was it looked great. The food was really nice, lots to chose from in the main buffet. We usually had breakfast and lunch in Las Brisas which was really nice - the fried cheese sticks were yummy. We tried some of the a la carte, Portofino (18+) - Italian, very nice, MEAT (18+) - steakhouse, it was okay (I'm not a steak fan), Rodizio at Las Olas - Brazilian - this was lovely and the steak was melt in the mouth, Naan- Indian at Esmerelda, very yummy, lots of small dishes but very filling, and our favourite - Limbo (18+), small menu but oh so delightful we ate there three times - the Chocolate Textures dessert was so good I had it all three times we visited. The beach was okay, we only went for a walk once. The Ambar pool was okay, could've done with cleaning a bit more often than it was - there was a strange scum on it near one of the whirlpool areas but no-one showered before entering so it was likely scum due to suncream overload. The entertainment team around the pool and in the pool were always enthusiastic and very friendly and smiley. The pool bar itself was great, the waitress staff were hit and miss, one of the more popular ladies would take our order and we would still be waiting 30 minutes later so found it easier to go to the bar (tip, bring insulated cups - they will fill then up with your favourite drink - and the insulation will keep them chilled for hours). Concierge service was also hit and miss - Ysael was better and would help with everything you asked. We asked for tv remote batteries (need your tv for if you get a rainy day which we did), and never got them. Also reported leaky shower, its still leaking I expect. Should've reported to Ysael and we might've seen better results. Our room was nice, lots of space. Bed was very comfy but pillows were lumpy - tip - ask housekeeper for a different type of pillow as you get a pillow menu when staying at Ambar. The shower is open which wasnt a problem for us as we are a couple, the water does go on the bathroom floor though as the shower tray is not that brilliant at keeping the water inside it. The toilet does have a door on it as even couples need privacy when using the toilet. The mini bar is also restocked every day - leave the mini bar staff a note of what you prefer, with a small tip, and they will be happy to meet your requirements- it is stocked with mini vodka, whiskey and rum, 2 cans of presidente beer, pepsi, a fizzy orange drink, one fizzy water, small bottles of water and some small snack packets of peanuts.

Absolutely perfect! 10/10!
From the helpful guest experience to the luxury resort and room, this place is absolute paradise. Room was clean & comfortable. We enjoyed the swim up pool. The main pool was clean, inviting, and staff took great care of us!
