Extremely limited food choices for vegetarians. Nobody spoke or understood English so it was difficult to ask whether an item contained any meat. Staff in the registration area spoke English and were friendly but they couldn't help with the food. The on-premise restaurants were hot and had a lot of mosquitos. The plate had extremely limited quantity of food. You can't order more food at the restaurants. They only allowed ordering one item per course per person. The restaurants had no AC and some fans were turned off. The buffet staff was friendly but the staff at the restaurants was unhelpful and provided poor service. The drinks were watered down. The pool is almost always noisy and the beach is not that far from the pool. If you are looking for peace and quiet, you might have to try a few different spots. The rooms didn't feel high end but they were functional and had everything we needed. There were some good things: - Everyone was generally happy. The hotel staff was friendly and wanted to give you good experience. - Great coffee in the buffet as well as in the coffee shop. - Many different activities by the pool all day long. - The beach staff continually cleaned the beach.

The staff was so friendly and attentive all over the hotel. The food was good and had lots of options. It was hard to get chairs in the shade on the beach where we liked to spend the day so my husband had to get up at 6 to put towels on the chair. Other than that it was a perfect and relaxing getaway.

This hotel was amazing and the staff incredible. The entertainment staff Julio, Jefrison and the others were incredible. I can’t say enough of how entertaining Julio is His events throughout the stay were better each time. The obstacle event in the pool was hilarious. He brought all the guests together to have a great time. They kept the party going all the time and treated us with exceptional hospitality. Veronica from the pool bar was attentive and great. Alexis the butler came by to see us daily and make sure we had everything we needed. At las Brisa’s restaurant by the pool we had great service with Leonardo, Vicente and Noiberto. I can’t find one thing to say negative. Our entire stay from check in to check out was perfect.

Honestly the best all inclusive I’ve been to. The food everywhere was great compared to other all inclusive hotels we’ve been too. Staff is great, entertainment was on point. Would definitely come back again. We stayed in Ámbar, but you end up having access to all the other Bahia principles there.

Didn’t get an upgrade no vip perks ! Transportation around the resort sucks! Staff rude! Boring environment they try and keep you on the resort like a hostage everyone is counting your pockets ! Telling you one price and someone else says something else they are con artist! I would never do this resort again and i travel this was by far the worst and there were kids in the adults only section! They overcharged me for laundry service that they delayed and stole clothing items and charged me for! They enter the rooms without permission none of the doors lock! It’s horrible ! Food terrible ! So bland no flavor !

Property was beautiful. Food was blah. Chairs are reserved as early as 5 am so if we wanted seats on the beach or pool we have to put towels out at the crack of dawn. Entertainment staff on the property deserve a raise! They were amazing!

Special thanks up Edwin (King Kong) Abel and the at entertainment crew for always making everyone get up and have a good time. Desiree and Yessmina st the pool were non stop. Making sure, everyone was always taken care of. Made Service and room service was great. The only complaint I would possibly have was the coffee shop. They were not as friendly as everyone else. I’d definitely go back We ate at limbo Italian and Meat all excellent. We went off to the other hotels for hibachi dinner that was great too. We’d go back for sure

Good property, good food choices, two Indian restaurants, beach property, clean beaches. They keep few restaurants closed on some days, and one of the day both Indian restaurants were closed, which should be avoided. They can offer coconut which would add value.

The property overall was good. The food was average. Food selection was not great. Some staff unfriendly. Beach was great. Pool is also good. Rooms were great and very clean. The coffee shop was the best thing at the resort. M.E.A.T. is the best restaurant by far. Maiko the Japanese restaurant is terrible.

This resort I at best 3 stars. The food quality is at best mediocre. The nightlife is lacking and the entertainment can use some creativity. The beach is great and the pools are ok . Definitely needs to be upgraded as it has the bones to be a great property.

The property overall is good. As an all inclusive resort, it’s isolated.So, you better enjoy the shows and food. The adults only was boring during the night. Maybe not a good weekend, or probably targeting an older age.

Property is older but seems to be well maintained. Food was the best I’ve had on a resort. We stayed in a swim up room and it was extremely loud early mornings outside of the front door which woke us up everyday we were there. Room had a few small roaches, mattress was very hard, and I had to remind them twice, although it was stated in the reservation, that we were celebrating a birthday in order to get birthday decorations. Staff was nice and was willing to move our room to another building but on the 3rd day of our vacation when a room became available. At that point, It wasn’t worth packing back up and missing the excursion we had planned at the time we would have had to move so we made the best out of it.

I rate the location a 3 star out of 5 primarily because the rooms were out of date. When I turned on my television there was no Netflix Hulu paramount applications, in other words the tv was outdated. Another reason for my rating is because of the restaurant experience, the food wasn’t as appetizing as it appeared in pictures. The best two locations were Limbo for there steak and potatoes and in house unique drink along with MEAT which had exquisite choices to choose from. My last reason for rating the hotel a 3 is due to the activities. The best activities the public, customers, tourists, etc enjoyed the most ended very early. Take into consideration the saxophonist he was stupendous amazing an encore and silent disco was the best great decision for incorporating that as an activity BUT make sure it last longer. Dinner is usually scheduled late and when people finish eating they want to go out and have fun for more than one hour.

It didn't feel like a 5 star luxury resort. Food and drinks were not that good. The pool was closing at 6pm. An ice cream place instead of chasing the ice cream guy would have been better. The entertainment was OK. The fire show was great and the pool activities were fun. The live music was nice. I don't think I'll be back. Overall, it is too expensive for what it is.

We've been to this property several times over the years and this was probably our last stay here. Yes, the resort has gone through some renovations but the quality is very poor. Pros: Ambar is very conveniently located and close to the beach and the pool. It's adult only and pretty quiet at night. The food at the buffet is just not what it was pre-Covid, which is the last time we visited. The newly added restaurants are good but very hard to get into without making reservations ahead of the trip. The phone app is TERRIBLE. Bahia encourages guests to use the phone app for everything. It's extremely slow and needs some major upgrading. If you're booking via Expedia and are a VIP don't expect any upgrades at the hotel. The drinks at the bars were decent and the service was pretty good at the pool and the beach. The service at the restaurants was good but inconsistent at the buffet. The coffee shop and the gym are great new additions. Gym is very well equipped but could be bigger with more treadmills. It was packed in the morning between 6-9am every day. The coffee shop is very good too. It is unfortunate that we had to set our alarm for 5:30-6:30am each day to go out and reserve a beach or pool chair. If you plan on going out there later in the morning and finding ANY open chair, you won't be able to. People were reserving 6-10 chairs at a time and not showing up for many hours. Beach was very clean and beautiful as always.

My friend and I had an issue with a refund so unfortunately they did not refund us for 1700$ which already left a bad taste in my mouth about the resort. Upon arrival we tried to make the best of it while we were there. We did have fun and enjoy ourselves. The food was not bad, the drinks were as expected. We did meet some really awesome people… kelvin at the pool bar was amazing to us and treated us great the whole time. Alexis at the buffet by the pool was also pretty amazing and made our eating experience awesome. We met Elias who was on the Esmeralda resort and he was awesome too, I didn’t get the names of the entertainment team but each one of them was awesome, nice, and so much fun. The foam party was my favorite. We were not bored at all while there so I’m glad we got to go and have this experience. The beach water was phenomenal, it was so clear and well kept. The pools were huge so that was pretty nice. Mario on the Trollies was also pretty awesome. Aside from the fact that we weren’t refunded our money, I’d def go back to this resort
