I should start my review by saying I have stayed at the Ambar before. Four years ago I went with my mom and sister. This time I was on a honeymoon. My fiance had never been to an all inclusive before and I wanted to start him out right! I think i have him hooked. The Bavaro beach is absolutely... More

This is my 3rd time at the hotel. Obviously I am please with them. I have never been to one hotel this many time, but I do like it here. The adults only is a major plus, the grounds are beautiful, the beach is clean, the resort is clean, service is excellent, top shelf alcohol, and very relaxing. One of... More

This was our 4th time at the Ambar and 17th in the D.R. We find the Ambar fabulous value for the money. The rooms are always spotless as are the grounds. The staff is wonderful.. Everywhere you look, someone is working on something .. it's just pristine. We didn't find the buffet as fabulous as other times, but still well... More

Ambar is the "adults only" part of the resort. The grounds were impeccable. Our group loved the facility. As in all of the All inclusives, some of the food was mediocure at best. There were several restaurants where the food was very good. The Gourmat was one of those. The bar-b-que, compared to others we have been at, was very... More

Just returned from the Ambar, was there Feb 2 - 9, 2012 and what a great resort it was. I read the reviews before I went and knew what to expect from the adults only resort. Let me just say you get what you pay for. I personally felt this was a great resort who catered to everyone. When we... More

This was our second stay at the Ambar and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. When we registered, we had a concern regarding our room. We spoke to Cesar at the front desk, he resolved it quickly and we were happy with the results. We found the food to be very good with lots of selection. If you... More

We stayed at Gran Bahia Ambar Jan 20-27th, 2012. There were 4 couples and a single in our group. My husband and I had stayed at Bahia Punta Cana six years ago with our kids and this was definitely a step up and well worth paying extra to stay ay Ambar when you are without your kids. If you dont... More

We just returned home from the Ambar. There were 4 of us and we met another couple there. We had a great time. Arrival was crazy at the airport because at least 3 planes had arrived at the same time but once we got through and retrieved our luggage the rest went smoothly. We took the bus instead of a... More

My wife and I and another couple just returned from a week at the Ambar and overall we had an amazing time and did not want to leave. Overall the positives by far outweighed the negatives. Here is a summary: Negatives: -We did not receive the type of room we had requested. We requested a king size bed, not on... More
