First of all, take the negative reviews with a grain of salt...there are a lot of picky people out there..This was our first time to the Bahia chain and this resort was top notch! We stayed for 2 weeks and you have lot's of time to notice details..we were truly treated as VIP guests and we have many staff to... More

This hotel belongs to the Bahia Principe resort chain and is best suited for young couples that are looking for a romantic getaway. The quality of the buildings and rooms was very high. The restaurants were superb. Be sure to make reservations ahead of time. The pool is pretty big and there are bars nearby for your daytime refreshments. The... More

My husband and I along with my mother and father went the Ambar section of the Gran Bahia Principe for 7 days. The two main reasons were that it is all-inclusive and adults only. It was OK. Upon arriving at the airport, first of all, we were greeted with people playing music (wonderful by the way), but when we got... More

We stayed at the Gran Bahia Principe Ambar from May 11-18. This was our third time in the D.R. and the first time at this hotel. We absolutely loved the quiet setting of this adults-only resort. If you like large resorts, as we do, you will definitely enjoy the property. The grounds are immaculate and so well manicured. There are... More

We stayed at the Gran Bahia Principe Ambar for 5 nights May 13-18. It was very nice to get away but i don't think this resort was for us. We are in our early-mid thirties and pretty laid back so despite the things we didn't care for we still had a great time. THE GOOD: Jacuzzi tub comes standard in... More

Excellent place. Very Clean. Very good meals. Excellent service. Buffet is on a different theme every night. Thursday is seafood usually with langosta. A la carte Gourmet Don Pablo is a must. Treat yourself by buying a good bottle of wine (~40$). Room was very fine #66317 get to be on a corner of the main lobby with a large... More
