Jan 18, 2025Honest review
Hotel, itself, is lovely. We booked with TUI. If it wasn’t for Facebook groups I joined, we’d have been incredibly clueless. TUI reps none existant in the hotel. Did we have a great time, yes. Would we go back … absolutely not. Positives - sun, beach (sand is soft and beach is miles long), sea (gorgeous and warm), staff in general around the resort. Buffet restaurant fabulous, and some al a cartes the same Negatives - one pool. Yes, we have access to the other hotels, but they are full of kids. I left mine at home 😂 found the pool scene a bit hit and miss. Quite loud and aggressive to a point where I felt uncomfortable several times in the two weeks we were there. For reference, I’m loud myself, love a laugh, love a dance and a drink. But meh … bit grim. Beach is stunning but you get hounded constantly. Not enough info on what you have access to in other hotels. IMO this is a massive bonus, yet told nothing. Bed is a shocker. So uncomfortable. What made our holiday … the beautiful friendly and polite Canadian guests, the amazing people we met on our plane from Manchester, Maria the butler, all the staff in the buffet restaurant, and all the golf cart (train) drivers.

Jan 17, 2025Fantastic hotel.
Just returned from luxury ambar and what a holiday, this place is huge with all the other hotels combined. Food was fantastic and the beach is fabulous, the staff were all so polite and couldn't do enough for you. I strongly recommend this hotel for a holiday of a lifetime and fantastic memories. Thank you luxury ambar.

Jan 13, 2025Great stay
Visited for a week after a cruise over New Years Eve. Our first impressions weren't great, the rooms were not ready and were told to come back at 3 as were the other people from the cruise, it was just a nightmare. When we were finally taken to our room it was a disability room on the ground floor. We went back to reception and asked to be moved to a standard room which we had booked on a higher floor. We were finally taken to a room on the 3rd floor which was great. It was very spacious, had everything you needed. The shower was scalding hot, but this was fixed the following day. When we checked in we were offered some restaurants (couldn't pre book on the app) so we opted for the steakhouse. The majority of the menu was fish (I don't eat fish) so we had the bread and shared a steak, it was very underwhelming considering it was new years eve, after a few days talking to other travellers the same menu was in all the restaurants by the sounds and they found it equally underwhelming. Never the less the rest of the evening made up for it which a pool party and fireworks. Thankfully after our first day it vastly improved, the grounds were lovely, and you could use all the other hotel facilities but we preferred the Ambar. This seemed to be the case for others not staying at the Ambar, 2 days we were there large groups not staying at the Ambar descended on the pool bar, they were so loud and rowdy, smoking in the pool, it just wasn't really necessary. The food was good in the beach restaurant place and the main buffet, you could always find something! Our favourite restaurants were the steak house (not on New years Eve) and Naan (Indian restaurant at Esmerelda) the tepanyaki restaurant the food was good but there wasn't much of it and the 'host' was the rudest woman ever with no people skills, she turned so many people away without explanations. Avoid the Greek so disappointing we had to go to the sports bar to get food after (highly recommend that though! All in all a great resort, staff are ok it is all very tips driven but we kind of know how that works now. Would recommend to others.

Great Experience
Perfect getaway for my wife and I. Not far from the airport, nice private transportation, pleasant staff, fun daytime and evening activities, lots of opportunities to dance which my wife likes, especially silent disco. Rooms are very comfortable. Our routine was... Wake up, put towels on chosen beach/pool chairs, work out, east breakfast, shower put on suntan lotions, sit by beach, read, swim, walk the beach, lunch, play backgammon at lunch, read, nap at beach, go back to room around 4pm, romance, shower, drink at lobby bar, go to dinner, go dance, go to sleep, repeat.

Jan 10, 2025Won’t come back. Wouldn’t recommend it.
Went to the hotel the last week of December to spend the Christmas break. The people in the hospitality area served the guests very poorly. They had no answers to basic questions such as the Christmas menu. They were not helpful at all. The towels provided by the hotel for the beach/pool, need to be changed. One day we were given towels with holes or stains on them. The room was average. The hair dryer seems like a toy, rather than a device that dries your hair. My husband got intoxicated with food from the hotel one day prior to leaving and we spent our full last day in Punta Cana at a hospital. Terrible experience. The only positive thing was the beach and water which were amazing, but we have to thank Mother Nature for that.
