Overall, my stay at the Ambar adults-only section of the Grand Bahia resort was fantastic. The renovations really enhanced the experience, and the beach is absolutely beautiful. However, we did face some challenges with restaurant reservations and the beach vendors were a bit too persistent. The service was good, but there's room for improvement in dining variety and accessibility.

We had a huge and clean room in Villa 60 with a balcony overlooking the pool. The open-concept bathroom was nice for an adults-only atmosphere, though the door could be a bit loud.

I recently enjoyed a stay at Luxury Ambar and found it to be a beautiful resort with some standout features. The beach was lovely and well-kept, and the staff went out of their way to ensure our comfort. However, the dining experience could use improvement, particularly in the buffet options during busy times. Overall, it was a memorable vacation, though some aspects of the resort fell short of expectations.

I recently stayed at Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar and truly enjoyed my time, despite a few minor hiccups. The location is fantastic, with easy access to various restaurant options and beautiful beach areas. The rooms are clean and spacious, though the open-plan bathroom might not suit everyone. I particularly loved the entertainment staff and the various activities available. However, the dining options could use more flexibility, especially at lunchtime, and the service at some restaurants was inconsistent. Overall, it was a great experience and offered good value for the money.

My experience at this hotel was quite disappointing. While the location was nice, with a clean beach and beautiful surroundings, the lack of privacy in the room left a lot to be desired. The service was decent, particularly at the pool bar, but I had some significant issues with the room's amenities and dining options that greatly affected my stay.

My stay at the Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar had its ups and downs. While the rooms were spacious and close to the pools and beach, I found them to be a bit tired and in need of maintenance. The dining experience was quite enjoyable, particularly at the buffet, but the service could be inconsistent at times. Overall, I felt that the hotel had potential but didn't quite deliver a five-star experience.
