A group of 8 of us were at the Ambar from Feb 2-9th. The service at this hotel is truly exceptional. The grounds, rooms and beach are beautiful. We all stayed in building 63 near the lobby and liked the location. We had requested something closer to the beach but ended up being quite satisfied near the lobby as that... More

My Boyfriend and I spent a wonderful 7 days at the Ambar February 2012 and it was AMAZING (which is an understatement)! I seriously still daydream about how magical it all was. The resort is exquisite and the grounds are well maintained..The rooms are superb, large and comfortable.There have been many excellent reviews and an odd terrible review. In my... More

This was our first visit to Punta Cana and we were very happy with our choice of resorts. It was a long trip from the airport-around 45 min. but Apple Vacations transported us in a comfortable minivan with only one other stop. We stayed in Villa 67 which was very close to the pool, beach and the Ambar beach restaurant.... More

Nice room, nice bathroom, pretty decent food, big selection at buffets. Very clean and pretty grounds. Medicore entertainment at night. Will have to take a cab to Hard Rock if you want some real casino action at night. I think it was $20 each way. Obnoxious vendors on property; stay away from them. Skip the "barbeque" restaurant and the Italian... More

Second time to Punta Cana, first to Ambar. Lots to love about Ambar: Check-in and out was very well managed and front desk staff were very helpful throughout the stay. If you have a late flight after check-out, the use of the gym for showers is great. The Ambar section is small and compact and close to the beach. No... More

I should start my review by saying I have stayed at the Ambar before. Four years ago I went with my mom and sister. This time I was on a honeymoon. My fiance had never been to an all inclusive before and I wanted to start him out right! I think i have him hooked. The Bavaro beach is absolutely... More

This is my 3rd time at the hotel. Obviously I am please with them. I have never been to one hotel this many time, but I do like it here. The adults only is a major plus, the grounds are beautiful, the beach is clean, the resort is clean, service is excellent, top shelf alcohol, and very relaxing. One of... More

This was our 4th time at the Ambar and 17th in the D.R. We find the Ambar fabulous value for the money. The rooms are always spotless as are the grounds. The staff is wonderful.. Everywhere you look, someone is working on something .. it's just pristine. We didn't find the buffet as fabulous as other times, but still well... More

Ambar is the "adults only" part of the resort. The grounds were impeccable. Our group loved the facility. As in all of the All inclusives, some of the food was mediocure at best. There were several restaurants where the food was very good. The Gourmat was one of those. The bar-b-que, compared to others we have been at, was very... More

Just returned from the Ambar, was there Feb 2 - 9, 2012 and what a great resort it was. I read the reviews before I went and knew what to expect from the adults only resort. Let me just say you get what you pay for. I personally felt this was a great resort who catered to everyone. When we... More
