The room and the staff are excellent, especially those on the Ambassador level. Roman and Santo are great as well as Mercedess in the spa. The only complaint is the breakfast service in the restaurant. We’ve been here many times and it does not seem to get better. The food is quite mediocre and the service is slow - long wait to get coffee and water at the table- the prepared egg/omelete station cooks are not preparing food well. Other food like hash brown potatoes and other is not up to par for a fine hotel. And often times the food is not replenished. I hope this helps to improve El Embajador. It is a lovely hotel, but service needs to rise a bit in these areas.

This hotel was much better than I expected it to be. Professional service and first class treatment from check-in to check-out. Check-in was easy and the hotel room was very clean. We added credit to our room upon check-in and they surely did not fail to stock up our mini bar. The snack and beverages options were great. I would say for persons traveling with really small kids to be aware that the room is filled with furniture that can be broken by a child if they’re very “busy and touchy” however we were really pleased with the aesthetics of the room. The food options were great. We really enjoyed the “Dominican chicken and plantain” option and ate it several times during our stay. Breakfast and dinner was also really enjoyable as well. There’s a small pool that everyone uses at the hotel. I recommend you get there early to secure the pool beds, whether shaded or in the sun. If you have small kids, I recommend you walk with small inflatables as there’s no part of the pool shallow enough for kids to stand. Highly recommend this Hideaway. I will definitely be returning.
