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

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

We loved our vacation to Punta Cana and the stay at the Ambar. I will tell you what we loved about it but there were a couple of safety concerns which I will address later. First, taxi cab info: we didnt get a shuttle and took a cab on our own. The area has set rates so you dont have... More
