Bahia Principe Escape Ambar

First time in DR. Beautiful beach. Some days no seaweed at all, other times a lot more. But they do a good job of clearing up. People reserving shaded beach areas at 4 in the morning and then barely using the chairs was very annoying. Rooms were nice. Ygnacia kept our room very clean, greeted us every morning and asked if everything was ok. Fridge always replenished. Ambar is not too big, so everything close by. Trolly trains run frequently if you wanted to go to other areas of the complex. Overall loved our trip.

We have just returned from a three-week vacation at the Bahia Principe Ambar and cannot recommend it enough. We spent all of our days on the Ambar beach. The weather was excellent, and the water was clean with minimal sargassum. The beach bar was consistently well-maintained and clean, and the bar staff are truly the best—very attentive, knowledgeable, and always working hard with a smile. A special shout-out to Ramon (#1) at the towel service, who greeted me every day with a high-five and a glorious smile to start my day. Our room was kept in pristine condition daily; the housekeeping staff in building #64 (2nd floor) were wonderful and always so happy to see us. I also want to share a big thank you to our concierge, Kevin. He went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, from his suggestion to have beer on ice delivered to the beach, to ensuring we had chilled champagne or wine waiting in our room after our beach days. It was also such a pleasure to reconnect with Sandra in building #66 (1st floor). I first met Sandra during our stay in 2019 and have kept in touch ever since; her daily hugs were, as always, perfect. ❤️ From the lobby bar and coffee shop to the gym, the entire team is fantastic. Everyone throughout the complex is well-prepared, professional, and willing to help. There is plenty of nightly entertainment, so there is always something going on. A few tips for future guests: • The "Towel Game": Be prepared to reserve your loungers early! • Bug Protection: Definitely bring bug spray—I recommend Avon Skin So Soft and Muskol. Never go out at night without it. • Aftercare: Don’t forget an anti-itch treatment like Polysporin 1% hydrocortisone just in case. I would absolutely book this resort again. Thank you to the entire staff for making our trip so memorable!

I've been to Punta Cana many times and this is the first and last time I'll ever stay at Bahia Principe Escape Ambar - or any Bahia resort on this property actually. Let me start with the beach. Never have I ever seen a beach layout so awful before. Rows and rows of chairs stacked on a hill LEADING to the beach and not actually on flat ground AT the beach. Looking for a spot to sit? Forget it. You won't find one. Unless you wake up at 4am and claim your spot with a towel, which people do here like savages. I've never had an issue at ANY resort finding a place at the beach. I'm not sure if it's because they oversell the resort and it's just crowded, or if people from the neighboring resorts just flock to this particular section. It's awful. We paid a lot of money for this trip and have never had a single decent beach day to be able to relax. The pool is the same situation. If you can imagine what's going on at the beach, the pool is 5X worse. You will never find a free chair, let alone something with shade. The staff are hit or miss here. I would say 75% of the staff are rude or grumpy. Again, never experienced this type of thing at other resorts. The vibe is completely off. There is not much to do here. Target demographic is 55 + years, and at that age you'd think older people would be nicer. Not the case. I've seen people here act extremely entitled and rude even to the staff. There is little to no nighttime entertainment. Activities are limited. The food. Not good. My complaint is that the meat was ALWAYS undercooked, no matter where you went. Are they just trying to rush things because of the high volume of people? This is my honest review. Please save your money and go to a higher quality resort. It's not even like this resort was cheap, it's more expensive compared to other resorts out there, but this one I would rate a 4 out of 10, and that's just being generous.

We had a fabulous time. The property is well maintained and the staff is helpful and friendly.

Amazing place we have been there about 32 times, Amazing staff at Limbo bar, the bar tenders Manuel, Edwin and Aquino are the best, at Las Brisas buffet the servers are amazing, Ingrid, Maura and Aracelis are outstanding .
