Excellence Punta Cana

My wife and I have been to Excellence Punta Cana a few times before this trip and we always loved our time there. For this trip, we brought our daughters and their guys. The 6 of us had the best time. We stayed in building 3 and loved the pool there. We were greeted every morning by Hendruix who was so nice, so upbeat. He made a connection with everyone in the group and we all love him. We also found the bartenders and the servers around the pool to be so friendly and the drinks were excellent. This time around we ate at the Lobster House (Excellent meal there), Chez Isabelle (great food), Agave (Good), The Grill (Great meal), Magna (Excellent Dinner), Spice (was good but unfortunately had a reservation issue for Hibachi -- we'll try again next time), Las Olas (ok, not my favorite) and the Kitchen (loved our breakfast here and found the lunch variety also great). We did not go to Oregano but heard positive reviews. There was also a gentleman who came by the pool we were at during lunch-time with burgers, fries and pizzas you could order. He was great and it was really good. The shows were all lots of fun. Each night's shows were really well done. When it came to entertainment, whether it was during the day by the large pool, at the shows at night, or at off times, Joy Boy (Mishel) was always there to make our stay better and add fun and laughter. He really represents the resort so well. We really love Excellence Punta Cana and will definitely return. The grounds are beautiful and there's always something to do for everyone. We enjoyed the Spa for Hydrotherapy and returned for couples massages which everyone thought was AMAZING. We loved the Martini bar and the Espresso Martini was my new found favorite. We wish we were back there now. Thank you to everyone at Punta Cana Excellence. I wish I remembered more individual names - you are all EXCELENTÉ!!!

This was our first time visiting Excellence Punta Cana and we will never go to another all inclusive resort. TOP NOTCH from start to finish. We were a party of 4 vacationing to celebrate my 50th and we were treated like royalty for our entire stay. The extra money for Excellence Club was worth every penny. Hipolito, concierge, and Annabel at check in were our first encounters of staff and they set the bar high. Hipolito checked on us all week long, every time we saw him. The majority of our time was spent at the pool and the beach and the main reason for that was Hendruix. He set up our chairs every morning and by 9 we were in the pool and enjoying happy shots, mango tangos, coco locos, pina coladas, mudslides, Miami vice, and sometimes he would surprise us with the Hendruix special! We lacked for nothing - he was there before we ever needed him. He knew our names, memorized a special handshake and became our friend who we will stay in touch with until we return again. Just an incredible human! I read so many reviews before we went and I have to say - don’t believe them all and just experience it for yourself. We did not have one bad meal and often requested the same servers! We had dinner at the grill twice with Darlin (the bread and ribeye were phenomenal!), Magna dinner for my birthday with Eddy was unforgettable (thanks to everyone for singing and making me feel so special!), we had breakfast at Magna with Jose Luis 3 times! And dinner at Chez with Edwin was incredible! We ordered breakfast room service once and it did not disappoint. We will absolutely be back again!!

This was our first time at Excellence Punta Cana and the experience was amazing. You can’t beat the beautiful views and the staff were outstanding. We stayed in the Excellence Club section and it was definitely worth the extra money. The two private pools were where we spent a large part of our time, in between meals & beach time. One man I need to mention was Hendruix at the Excellence Club pool bar. He was a huge part of making our experience memorable. He was fun, helpful & made us feel like family. A true gentleman. Some other great staff we got to know were Hepolito, who was everywhere always willing to help. Also Darlin, Jose Luis, Edwin & Eddy, our servers at the restaurants who made our time great. We will definitely be back.

8 of us went to celebrate cousin's 50th and had a great time. Good service, good rooms and good location. Rooms were clean and amenities for the excellence club members were good. Food was above average in the restaurants on property. Pool area food was more like bar food - wings, pizza, etc. Room for improvement. Enjoyed entertainment from @Blade and @Borofly.

Really fun resort with all the amenities that you can think of. We stayed @ the Club level & really enjoyed the exclusive pools & beach area. Room was really large & very roomy. I really enjoyed the plant based menu that was offered @ each restaurant. Joy Boy & Butterfly were great social activities directors, motivating people in a gentle way to participate. They always had a smile!
