Bahia Principe Ambar

Client Comments on Bahia Principe Ambar, an adults only property in Punta Cana.

Resort. Massive compared to what we have been to in the past. Ambar is busy compared to what we are used to at other resorts but the rest of resort sometimes gets a bit overwhelming.

Grounds. Very well cared for with no litter at all. Overall very clean.

Pools, Amber not too busy and very clean. Main pool at main resort packed. Other pools in main resort back from the beach less so.

Food. Excellent, ate at al a carte every night no restaurant was even close to busy in Ambar section.

Drinks. No problem getting served at any time day or night.

Staff. Very friendly, nice people.

Room. Well cleaned with everything in working order. Quick response to any defects. Good size.

Airport Transportation. To and from airport no problem.

Site Transportation. The resort has three streets with people carriers running till 3 am.

Beach. Great for walkers. Ambar section is much better than the rest of resort as the Ambar resort is built back from the beach. There is a good section of beach area that has many loungers and shade between the regular public beach and the Ambar pool. Other than Ambar the main resort beach is an absolute mad house of people.

Tipping. I did not need to tip but tipped the bar tenders a few times a day.

Entertainment. Ambar is mostly low key with one person with electric piano. The entertainment at the rest of the resort is reasonably good but busy at the 9pm show and less so later.

Adults Only. They do a good job, there are lots of kids around but most families follow the rules and stay out of Ambar. We went to a few restaurants for dinner and the families we encountered were fine.

Weather. Mixed, hot and sunny then warm and cloudy. Little bit of rain but nothing serious.

Overall. Good holiday that was, at the price we paid, definitely good value.
