Luxury Bahia Principe Ambar Don Pablo Collection -Adults Only - All Inclusive

Relaxing time around pool and on the beach. The beaches were amazing. The hotel was beautiful, the grounds were covered with gorgeous flora. We will be back soon. Would recommend this place to anyone.

After reading a lot of reviews that were helpful I wanted to "give back" something to the community. So let me first say that the hotel exceeded my expectations and I would definitely go back. The room was nicely decorated, very clean, new and everything worked. It was so advanced that the AC would actually not turn on if you left the sliding door open on the patio. Very eco-friendly! The staff were all terrific. They were ALL friendly, and they seem to really enjoy their jobs. It was like being in a musical, everyone was signing all the time while they worked. And it shows in their service. We were waited on hand and foot and always, always with a smile. And they have a tremendous number of people on staff. Someone was always available and coming by to refill your drink, or anything else you might need. The facility was spotless. Something was always being washed down, scrubbed, swept, wiped or dusted. It was really a pleasure to feel like everything was clean. I was skeptical about the food having read reviews of other "all-inclusive" resorts. My fears were unfounded. The food everywhere on premise was great. We ate at the Mediterranean place, the Dominican place, the breakfast in the main facility and lunch/brunch. All fresh. All fantastic. If you are considering a trip here I would highly recommend this hotel. I will be coming back.

The Gran Bahia Principe Ambar was a perfect place for adults to stay. While we had our own pool with bar, we had use of all the facilities at the resort. A special thanks to the most friendly staff, especially the waitresses. Our favorite was [...]. What beautiful people the Dominicans are. Everyone was happy and helpful. The food at the buffets was very good and we especially liked the Don Pablo Restaurant, where once again, the service was impecable and so was the food. Make sure to bring enough casual clothing (long pants for men, anything but shorts for women) as the restaurants all require this attire. We thought we'd be in shorts all week, but usually spent all day in bathing suit and then dressed up for dinner and other activities. The El Olivo restaurant was okay, but we would probably not go back to it. If you go, you must take some excursions to see the native countyside. We booked ours through Coco Tours but believe that if you go to the beach you can get better deals. Just make sure the vendor is associated with the resort. Take the tour that lets you swim with the nurse sharks and rays. It was the most fun. Be sure to bring plenty of $1 bills. A few small tips gives you exceptional service, but it is not required. The people seem genuinely happy to be serving you. Would have liked for the resort to communicate their activities better. We had trouble finding out what was going on at the resort. I can't recommend this resort enough. I will definitely be going back sometime. It would be helpful to have some conversational skills in Spanish since much of the staff and others only speak a little English.

The hotel room was beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful when we had questions. We endjoyed the variety of foods that was offered. My favorite spot was the beach! Although it could have had more chairs. We went on two excursions--the Fun Fun Cave was wonderful and exciting! The other was to Saona island--although the ocean and island were beautiful, I didn't think this excursion was worht the cost. It was a long trip by bus, boat to just sit on another beach and have some drinks. Since it was listed as a national park I thought there would be paths and such to walk around in the jungle/woods--but only the beach. the only problem with the hotel--it was listed as adult only--but they did not seem to stop people with children from coming to the beach and food areas. I wasn't too happy when some kids got bored and started fighting on the beack--throwing sand. I would love to go back again and would stay at the same place. I've recommended it to family and co-workers.

This was by far the best all inclusive resort we have ever visited. From the moment we checked in until we left we were treat like royalty. This is the perfect resort to be pampered all the way around!

we joined my sister from Alabama for an adult vacation. It was her first experience in Punta Cana and she and her husband loved it. We have been to other resorts before, but would certainly comeback here as our first choice. The staff was extremely friendly and the service exceptional. We are also recommending it to our son and his family because the Punta Cana section and the Bavaro area of the resort were also very lovely and suited to families with children. A-1

My husband and I went on this trip to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and he's already planning our trip back. We had a absolutely wonderful time. The grounds were immaculate, the service was superb, the beach was gorgeous, the food was excellent, the rooms were huge and spotless, and the water was crystal clear. It was so relaxing and fun! We met so many people from all over - Scotland, Canada, Hungary, and other states. The only excursion we went on was a visit to the cigar factory - if you like cigars ask your agent about it. It's very informative and it was free. My husband bought a box while we were there. The only complaint we had was that men have to wear long pants in the evening if they want to eat. We thought the resort could have offered one place where shorts could be worn. So take long pants, they can be jeans but I recommend something lightweight - it's to hot for jeans. If you don't have long pants expect to pay high for linen pants or order room service every night. That being said, we had a wonderful time and are looking forward to going back.

We had and amazing time, really. I relied on a lot of reviews to make my decision, so im going to try to be helpful & honest. Spend the extra couple hundred to stay at the Ambar vs. the Principe... your room with be so much closer to the beach and main hotel areas, and restaurants... all within walking distance. We never needed to take a trolley, like some others who were almost a mile from the beach because the complex is huge with like 3 hotels put together. When we arrived, at check-in i gave the guy $10 american dollars, and he upgraded us to an even better location, only like 10 steps from the pool! The rooms are huge, they have everything you need in them, and the electricity voltage is the same. Free unlimited refills in the minibar, and you can use any amenity from any of the hotels. The beach is much less crowded, we always found great cabanas, but the principe beach was soooo packed! The buffet was a lot better than I had imagined it would be, and the dinners were never less than an 8 out of 10, fairly wide variety. I for the first time, didnt have to pack a lot of clothes, just casual is fine for every occasion. But MEN MUST WEAR LONG PANTS for meals, even lunch! Definitely bring sunblock, the sun is realllly strong, and i dont usually burn, the heat is intense. I booked transportation to/from airport through Orbitz, and that was probably the easiest and cheapest.... the beach was spectacular. Bring a camera, use the safe, you dont need more than $300 maximum... unless you plan on leaving the complex (which i found out after there was a great dance club about 5 min from hotel called Imagine) or going on excursions or whatever. We spent less than $50 the whole time including any tips, which you dont need to give to anyone at all in fact, and they dont pressure you at all. Except $10 per person tourist fee to enter the country! So that is about it... I would recommend this hotel and trip to anyone!

We had a ball. We slept in the comforts of our room until mid morning. Had breakfast at the buffet. Played at the beach--beautiful and clean waters and sand. Pool aerobics in the afternoon. casino & resort shopping in the evening. Dinner at the specialty restaurants and evenings listening to the keyboard under the stars. We have cruised 11 times in the past 7 years to the caribbean, stayed at all inclusive resorts on 2 islands and stayed at CONUS resorts. This was by far the best and most friendly service. Well worth the money for what you receive.

This was a vacation of a lifetime. Great friendly staff, great location and overall excellent service. I will definetally stay there again. I am already planning my next trip back. The hotel is amazing. Great rooms and very clean. The staff is wonderfull and very helpfull. We had the time of our lives. We loved every minute of the trip.
