Apr 18, 2025An Average Trip Overall
We went on a couple's trip recently and stayed at this resort. We are all in our early 30s. The vibe was definitely older adults. We loved the fact that it sat on a compound with all of the other Bahia resorts. You could get around pretty easily by golf carts and you had access to all of the other resorts and their amenities. The room was spacious and clean, but the pillows were uncomfortable. The resort was not too big and easily walkable. Everything felt close by. The food was nothing special and some days, it just wasn't great. The best drinks were at the lobby bar. It rained quite a bit during our stay and it felt like there wasn't much to do. The ocean was fantastic and very swimmable. We mostly sat on the beach and went swimming in the ocean. Overall, if you're looking for a cheaper vacation with a nice beach and average food, this would be a good option.

Apr 18, 2025Great Adults Only Resort on Bavaro Beach!
The Bahia Principe Ambar is a beautiful property, with lush landscaping and many amenities including a Modern Gym and Coffee Shop with Baristas. The pool is stunning and right next to the beach. The rooms are modern and very clean. The dining options are numerous, International A La Carte Restaurants and The Palmyra Buffet which offer a different theme of cuisine every night. La Brisa’s, the poolside restaurant offers an A La Carte Breakfast and Buffet Lunch. The one thing that sets this resort apart is the Professional Entertainment they offer every day of the week. Madelin and the Ambar Entertainment Team keep the fun going all day and into the nite. We have already booked our next vacation at the Ambar for April 2026. I would like to acknowledge other Ambar staff that helped make our vacation special. Front Desk Services- Josias, Rhaideer and Nairobi; Guest Experience- Issac and Efrain; Bell Services - Jean; Palmyra Buffet- Miguel, Ella, Saony, Maria, Kerlin and Patricia; Housekeeping Services - Braulio; Poolside Server- Bianca; Pool Bar Services- Carlos, Alisinio and Emmanuel; Pool Towel Services- Ramone. These and many other Ambar staff made this vacation experience Magical Much is Gracias Cheryl & Enrico D’Alessandro

Great vacation for fun and relaxation
From the moment we arrived we had an excellent experience. The staff was friendly and so helpful, anything we needed we just needed to ask and we were accommodated. Special call-out to Desiree at the pool bar, she never let us go dry and made sure we stayed hydrated and Aquilino, Skinny-boy and Kedwin at Limbo, they were our pre-dinner entertainment every night and wizards making specialty cocktails. The grounds are lovely and beautifully kept and so clean. Plenty of food choices at the buffet and the a la carte restaurants were excellent! Thank you all and can’t wait to come back in the fall!!!

Extreme hot water issue.
Average stay, buffet food was very repetitive even on specialty evenings. For example on Italian night the only addition I could see was a pan of lasagna. Our corner room was spacious and very clean but had an issue with extremely hot water only coming out of the shower and requested this issue be resolved on day 2, again on day 4 and nothing was repaired nor was a room change available.

Could be better
We had fun time but a lot of minor annoyances. Firstly, their app for the resort really sucks. It is a big place. The restaurants to book are scattered among 5 resorts. The map on the app makes it impossible to find places such as restaurants. Secondly, they create unnecessary stress booking restaurants. We did not book until we got there because we had a group of 6 (you need the room numbers to book which adds extra confusion.) they made it seem like we were getting the last spot and gave inconvenient times, but when we got to the restaurant there were MANY empty tables EVERY NITE. (No one tells you but if you book a late table but show up much earlier, they will seat you no questions asked.) Third, the staff here is less than ideally helpful. They need to train their staff MUCH better. For example, we would ask how to get to a restaurant but would consistently be given wrong directions. The food here is good but not great. The drinks are not very strong. There is poor notification of the shows and activities among the resorts. This resort is ok but definitely could be better experience.
