Disliked: Staff & service
We were visiting Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar for my husband’s 50th birthday. The resort itself was beautiful, however majority of the staff were prejudice against African Americans. We were ignored and practically overlooked on several occasions by the staff. We went to the Sports Bar on Sunday, 1/26, to watch the football finals, and literally had to sit there and watch everyone around us get served. People sitting right next to us and we were never asked what we would like. We had to literally flag a server down to place an order. We asked her why they were overlooking us and she just shrugged her shoulders and smiled. This was very disheartening. I have never experienced racism until I visited this resort. I was so disappointed with the amount of money we had paid. They didn’t even offer us any of the VIP amenities. I tried to get a reservation for my husband’s birthday and was told they only had 10pm available. We were not offered anything different or even offered the banners they were putting on the doors for people celebrating birthdays and anniversary. I would like to thank Maria. Also Santa and Aquilino at the Italian restaurant were amazing. We did not have reservations, however they allowed us to sit at the bar and celebrate my husband’s birthday. I will never recommend or return back to this resort. The staff really need to be taught that everyone is equal.
