Prior to purchasing our vacation I read through many reviews on trip advisory and other websites, some were good and others bad. Without hesitation our vacation was great. Seven days of pampering and good eating. The Gran Bahia is composed of four resorts in one, perhaps five. We paid a little more to stay in the adult’s only section of... more

We stayed at the Ambar for a week beginning December 13. Had our 19 and 21 year old with us. Outstanding week for everyone. Positives are huge: beach is spectacular, clean, goes on forever. Rooms are spotless clean, new, comfortable, close to the beach. Ambar pool is large, clean, beautiful, swim-up bar, great staff. Buffet at the Ambar is large,... more

An amazing hotel!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are looking for a quite vacation, with no kids running around the Ambar is the perfect getaway. Its a fairly new hotel, with pleasent staff. The food was delicious, with 6 different types of a-la carte. will be back for sure :) more

Agree with all the positive reviews, very pleasant Adult resort. One reveiwer mentioned the entertainment...what entertainment? Each night we had a quiet drink in the "piano bar'. The only negative thing I have to say relates to snorkelling from the beach.Although there seems to be a reef app. 150 yards from the shore, snorkelling is restricted to a roped off... more

Arrived on Nov 29/08 at night. 67209. Enjoyed the welcome. Very clean. The concierge staff were very friendly. House staff were friendly as well..all though we did find an awful language barrier. On this resort the staff know very little english and sometimes it is difficult to order what you like over the phone for room service. Ambar does have... more

I've been at many different resorts, mostly in the Mayan Riviera, and this is definitively the best resort I have sojourned so far. The Ambar section of the Gran Bahia was very good. The rooms were similar to most resorts I have been previously. Despite tipping every day at the beginning, the maid in our section could certainly use some... more

My wife & I have travelled a fair amount in both the Carribean, Europe and have stayed in many lovely resorts. The Ambar section is beautiful with marble accents and the well kept grounds are surprisingly lush with plants,flowers and palm trees everwhere. The rooms are quite large and comfortable and if you're fortunate to get a corner room your... more

Weather was unbeatable, grounds beautiful and well groomed, service staff wonderful. Avoid the beach restaurant. Breakfast best at the Palmyra buffet, dinners best at the a la carte restaurants. Some dinners good, some great (Mediterraneo had fabulous mushroom soup and their pork ribs were crispy, tender and delicious). Glad my husband knew a little Spanish because you'll be hard-pressed to... more

My husband and I stayed at this resort from November 23-30. We booked a last minute charter from Toronto. It was our first time staying at an Adult Only Section. It was amazing. Very organized when we arrived. We were given our room key and information on the transfer to the hotel. The resort consists of three section: Bavaro, Punta... more
