Me and my husband stayed there July 18-25, 2008. Remarkable hotel! People will always complain. I have been to places in Europe and other great hotels in the Caribbean. This is one of the best Caribbean hotels I’ve been to. Vacation is what you hake of it. Trust me, I’ve read all the complains posted by some people here and... more

My husband and I booked this vacation last minute. Definitely something I would do again. We were looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing and were not dissapointed in our choice. We were there the week of July 11 - 18. Weather was beautiful, hot and sunny everyday with a nice breeze off the ocean. I will break down as much... more

I have to say that this was not what we expected. Dont go for the food, for the service or if you think its adults only. You have to wear wristbands to identify you because this resort is connected to 2 other resorts (the Gran Bahia Bavaro & Punta Cana). We expected adults only, well kids just walk over from... more

My husband and I stayed at the Ambar from July 7th to the 10th. Short stay, but it was a fun getaway with three other friends. We arrived and did not get a towel or welcome drink, but the front desk staff was friendly. We went straight to the lobby bar while our other friend checked in. I ordered a... more

I am a travel agency owner, who likes to take my staff and venture to various resorts to match specific clientele needs. I stayed one night at the Riu Palace, very typical of all Palace Resorts (I've stayed at several) Best customer service amongst the hotel chains I've come across. Then we stayed at the Gran Bahia Principe Ambar for... more

My husband and I arrived in Punta Cana on 07/05/2008. Much to our surprise when entering the Punta Cana Airport we were required to pay a $10 charge per person to enter the country (not a large fee, but something you should know). We did not book transfers to the hotel on this trip, but we easily found a taxi... more

We visited the Bahia Ambar from June 22-29, 2008. This was our 12th visit to Punta Cana and our first stay at the Bahia chain. Most of the resorts we have stayed at in Punta Cana have been five stars, so we had certain expectations going in as far as service, food, etc. We enjoyed a lovely vacation and had... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Gran Bahia Principe Ambar from June 22nd-29th and we both agree that this is a fabulous resort. We booked the vacation after receiving a recommendation from our travel agent, as well as many reviews from Trip Advisor. Hopefully this review can help some of you make the decision to stay here as well,... more

The Bahia Principe Ambar is a wonderful, luxurious all inclusive resort if you like a nice, quiet, relaxing vacation with an excellent beach and great food. My boyfriend and I stayed here during the week of May 24th to 31st, 2008. The beach at this resort is beautiful with white powdery sand and clear turquiose waters. Like many resorts, you... more
