Excellence Punta Cana

This resort is beautiful. The staff works hard to ensure everything is an awesome experience. The room was awesome, the pools are great, the bars are outstanding! The Prelude bar was our favorite place to hang out. Joendry, Andres, and Juan provide exceptional service and entertainment! We rented a cabana for two days and requested their service. We talked to Antonio at the excellence club, and he ensured they would be available for us. All three came down regularly to check on us, even Antonio, to ensure our days went as planned! This resort is outstanding, and we will be back!

The excellence resort was wonderful. The resort is immaculate, people are as welcoming and kind as they are beautiful. I have been to the several islands with Aruba easily our favorite. We chose the DR since I was forced to Go during April break this year, flights to Aruba were outrageous. The pool is wonderful and snakes through the resort, under bridges, thru secluded areas, into a large open area and a lovely swim up bar. The beach is exactly what you would hope for; soft sand, warm, clean, no rocks or seaweed in sight! The only problem is that you can't Go in over your knees due to the STRONG riptide and undertow. Even if someone wasn't Flagging you in, you knew it wasn't a good idea to Venture much deeper. This didn't bother me so much since I prefer the pool. There are several restaurants on property, with the French one easily being our favorite. While the food is very good, it can't compare to what you would find in the restaurants in Aruba or at home, which I Call Boston. The reviews where I read about rooms being musty are true. I had a lovely Swim-up room. The first night the smell was so bad I found myself under the Sheets in an attempt to mask the smell. I asked for a dehumidifier, which helped as long as we kept the temp in our room at 74. Room service was great, but it took 3days of asking for a Bottle Of wine to be placed in my room. They Stock rooms with vodka, whiskey, beer, etc. they have nightly entertainment on property but don't give up a good Night sleep for it. We had a lovely massage at the spa, but be Sure to negotiate the price, since if you ask for a discount they will "see what they can do". We were here for 7 and never left the property and we have no regrets. Lovely vacation, but probably wouldn't come back again. Been there, done that!

I will definitely return! The beach was so clean and clear - pristine! The staff was very professional and courteous. The spa services (massage, facial, hydro therapy) were a definite highlight. We felt very safe in the area.

This is a beautiful resort - we had a Seaview Excellence Club room in building 1 and were very happy and have no hesitation in recommending. The Club beach is great and you are well looked after there. Liked the park out front with various wildlife that you can feed. Overall we had a great time. The Pros:- Fantastic beach location, lots of food & quality drink choice, plenty of bars and restaurants and evening entertainment.The Kitchen Buffet has the best/happiest Omelette man in the Caribbean!! and generally lovely staff, and some of the restaurants (The Grill, French and Oregano and the Hibachi show) we really enjoyed. Really nice room (but the bathtub?). The Cons:- Food could be varied, we were particularly disappointed with the Magna - as it is a great location and should be better. The Kitchen Table buffet has great choice but is like a school canteen and the juices and smoothies are bland/watered down - this was a real strength of the Excellence in Cancun. The room air con does not function properly so our room was a little damp - but it was no big drama. If you wish to swim in the sea everyday, this can be a problem some days as the sea/currents are too rough/dangerous - (you have to walk up the beach a little where you can find calmer waters - with no lifeguard).

I was with a group of 3 couples. We were celebrating 2 x 40th and 1 x 25th wedding anniversaries. What a wonderful resort. Staff was exceptional and made the visit special. We felt pampered all week. The evening shows were impressive. I also, went for a massage and used the hydro services, excellent experience. My husband and I also went zip lining with Runners Adventure. Totally felt safe and secure zip lining. Drivers to and from the resort where very informative and described the island life to us. Everyone was very welcoming from when we landed until we left. Recommend this resort highly to anyone considering this resort.
