Bahia Principe Escape Ambar

I have to say it was an amazing two weeks holiday, everything was excellent, the entertainment was very good, food very good different options every day and amazing cocktails. All the staff were brilliant and as we celebrated an anniversary they made this extra special with little but excellent touches on the day including a dinner on the beach which was excellent. We had a great time and we will come back ! This is truly what 5 start service is thank you to all staff!

If you like the beach dont go to Punta Cana. We went to Lopesan 2 years ago and ocean was not swimmable! Seaweed seaweed seaweed!! My daughter is at the Bahia resort now and they can’t swim in the ocean! Seaweed seaweed! And it smells bad. I wish someone would’ve noted this on their reviews when we were looking,as we wouldn’t have booked it. Seems like a common issue in Punta Cana.

After being to this resort 4 other times, I was looking to see if there was anything new or improved. First , I would like to mention a few people that made this trip memorable. Jesus at customer assistance in the front lobby who was super friendly and helpful. Ela, Julie and cook Rolando at Palmyra. Rose and Greylin at Las Brisas. William at Arrecife, beach bar. Kaitery at El Olivo. Starlin at Rodizio and Adian, our housekeeper who was always smiling and friendly. Now for the pros: The grounds are kept very nice around the resort. The A La Cartes are a must with delicious food .The whole resort has very good food. The beach is kept as clean as possible, with the least amount of seaweed. The workers are always helpful and friendly. The entertainment at night in the lobby and beside the pool was a nice additions. Yurta restaurant is fun to go to at Esmeralda. The sports bar is another nice place to get away to and catch a game. Cons: The resort is starting to show it's age with wear and tear. The room doors could use a painting and something to muffle the loud bang when the doors close. The music in the lobby at night is way to loud and the lobby could use more seating. It would be nice if there was a nonsmoking area outside the coffee shop where we could enjoy a nice dessert and drink without having to inhale smoke. Also the smoking by the pool is disgusting!!! Maiko (Japanese ) restaurant was dirty, worn out and bugs running around our feet. The Mangrove looked and smelled like raw sewage. Some improvement should be made with the cleaning of glasses at the beach and pool bar. Saw them cleaning the glasses with their dirty fingers.

Swim up pool room was amazing, lovely customer service, beautiful property, and beach. Only bad thing I can say is food was consistently cold and unseasoned. It was mostly inedible. I really wanted to ask them to warm it up in microwave. Only good thing was the omelette since it was guaranteed hot and prepared to your liking. I survived off toast and fruits. I remember eating a wilted salad and a burnt frozen pizza that tasted like cardboard at the pool restaurant on the day of arrival and it some how got worse from there. I hope they make changes to there food service bc otherwise it woulda been a 5 star stay.

We enjoyed a lot this resort, however the reason I am giving 4 instead of 5 is related with the difficulty to do a restaurant reservation as well as nautical included attractions. I tried to get a catamaran and it was full, however I saw at least one of them sitting in the sand for a lot of time. Also one of the staff in that area suggested to talk to one of the rep in there to accomodate me, and I was wondering how come if it was all booked. I think they were looking for some gratuities. Maybe the put rooms on the list while still having availabilities? I really can't tell but a resort this big you are expecting easier or more options.
