The ambar was a wonderful place to stay. Maurice and Jorge were the most helpful staff and really made our stay that much better. The restaurants and buffet were great. Entertainment every night. We will definitely be going back

My fiance and I stayed at the Ambar for six nights in April. It was a nice resort but there were some major flaws that would prevent us from returning here. Arrival: First and foremost, the arrival and the airport was fairly simple. You get on a line to pay a $10 fee to enter the country, then you get... More

I don't understand the 5 star reviews and in reality this hotel deserves a 3.5 instead of a 4. Yes, the beach and grounds are beautiful. However, the service is completely average and inconsistent. Yes, the food is plentiful, but average for the most part (the Mexican and Japanese restaurants were good, as was the steakhouse). Our AC was weak... More

My husband and I just returned from our visit at Ambar and we were thoroughly impressed with the Ambar resort. After reading all of the forums about Punta Cana and this resort specifically, we felt really ready to get the most out of our experience. Though we heard it was a large resort, we really didn't understand the magnitude until... More

I did a lot of research prior to picking this resort, so I didn't have many surprises. This was our 4th All Inclusive, but first trip to the Dominican, so I did have something to compare it to.
