I love honest reviews so much because the things you were "criticizing" are exactly what I want out of a resort (peace and quiet) so even though that was your downside it helped sell me on the resort 😂
Couple things after watching this video then going to excellence.
1) property is amazing
2) service is great
3) property is quiet and peaceful
4) food was moderate but nothing like in the video
5) ocean was to ruff to swim in
6) personal plunge pool has no heater so if your pool does not catch sun its uncomfortably cold
7) excellence club is worth it. Extra bar and restaurant are great.
8) included transportation to/from airport was great in your personal black Tahoe
9) pools are large and several to pick from
10) sadly most people don’t tip?!? The service is great and friendly. Give these workers some tips.
Thanks for your review. Looking into going for my birthday this August. This helps a ton!
Going at the end of October, can't wait. Went to Excellence El Carmen for my last stay and loved it!
The service is so outstanding if people don’t tip, they should be ashamed
Im a travel agent and YOU by far have the best resort reviews. Thank you for keeping them clean and professional and to the point
Absolutely agree with your statement that James’ reviews have a very clean and professional language, I am not ashamed to share it with family😀
I just booked my 5-day stay at Excellence and can’t wait!! Seeing this video after booking my stay makes me even more excited about the trip and happy with my resort choice in Punta Cana!
I LOVE Excellence. They never disappoint.
Agreed. We especially love Playa Mujeres
What month did you go?
@GirlLovesHemp we went to Ecxellence Punta Cana in May and Excellence El Carmen the prior September. Both were nice, but I prefer El Carmen because of the more modern look. They are close to each other. I've been to the locations in Jamaica, and as Playa Mujeres as well.
What month did you go?
@@girlloveshemp642 Are you asking me the same thing?
You have the best punta Cana reviews on the Internet, period. Thanks for doing these
My husband and I booked our honeymoon months back based on your review of this resort. Thanks for the great recommendation! The service, the pools, sea and food have been amazing. Would recommend to anyone.
Man! It's all in the name! You quite literally nailed it. This is the definitive review video for this resort. Kudos 👏
Hubby and I celebrated our honeymoon here almost 15 years ago. It was our first and since then we have compared our Inclusive stays to Excellence. Thank you for your content
We can’t get enough of Excellence Punta Cana! We have gone at least once a year for many years. Everyone and everything is wonderful.
We’re going there for our honeymoon in April! Can’t wait! I’ve watched this video like 4 times 😂
Have you been to Excellence El Carmen?
@@nicooliver6019 yes we have. It was nice but can’t compare to Excellence Punta Cana.
@@sandycook3525 oh wow would you mind elaborating please? Just came back from El Carmen which I ended up picking over Punta Cana because of the resort visual design preference. Was food and service notably better at PC?
@@nicooliver6019 we went to EEC because they were doing EPC over. (They switched us) it just wasn’t what we preferred. We love playing volleyball every day. They have a nice main pool and two club pools. The Excellence Club is great! We have breakfast most days on the club patio overlooking the ocean. EPC just has a wonderful vibe. We are going for our 50th anniversary in August and again in December. We have been going in December for the last 12 years.
Thank you James for being so generous with your time and showing us around! We will be booking Excellence in November based on your amazing review!!
One of my fav… your reviews are on point no bs .. thank you for bringing amazing content ❤
I like a quiet pool it all looks amazing
I knew you would love it!! Excellence Properties are amazing!! I've been to everyone except their new one in Ocho Rios. I look forward to it. I always stay in the Excellence Club swimup beach front room!!!
Love your review. We love a very quiet pool so the mortuary pool sounds like perfection to us.
best, most realistic reviews of AIs!! thank you!!!!
Spent a week at Excellence in Mexico…..for sure my favorite resort ever!
Have u been to all of the resorts? Or you just saying is the best ever.
Your reviews are very good and professional. Thank you so much!!
GREAT review. We had already picked EPC based on last year's trip to ERC for my wife's surprise 50th birthday. Excellence IS the best name for this place. Can't wait to go. January 2024 back to ERC and then June 2024 EOB!!! We are hooked on the brand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice place
Love your reviews. Very informative. Thanks
We were there once and loved it! We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for your review!
What an amazing video. So well organized and thorough
I went there a few years ago and you are bang on with everything you said. It was great
Booked. Based on your review...hopefully, we're pleased. Love your reviews!
Thanks for sharing this video. It contains very useful info. Amazing video capture and story telling
Excellence properties are the Bomb! Excellence Playa Mujeres is by far the best.
It's on my radar
i agree about Playa Mujeres best resort I’ve been too
Just stumbled across your channel the past few weeks. Been patiently awaiting your newest videos. Great channel man. Quality and personality next to none.
Awesome BoB - welcome 🙏🏻
Awesome review! I've been researching great hotels to stay in Punta Cana for my summer trip and I think I'll be choosing this one. I've heard so many great reviews and I'm glad the food is good.
Dude, my wife and I were there in 2010. This video makes me want to go back.
This does look amazing and I like how you compared it to Majestic Mirage. We stayed at Mirage in March and had an amazing time. There were fun parties and the food was amazing! I’m looking for a new place for next year and this one is a top choice if we don’t go to Majestic Mirage again. Thanks for the great reviews!
This place is on my to go list. Thanks for the video.
Love to see reviews of la Romana the beach there is postcard perfect ! Nice report tnx
Can't wait!!
OMGI stayed here like three weeks ago and it was amazing
Classy place.
I absolutely loved this hotel when we went in October 2021 with my now wife :)
We love the Excellence in Jamaica..if it’s like that one..it gotta be great one..
I stayed in the Excellence El Carmen in 2019. It was one of my favorite ALL inclusive resorts hands down. Excellence Collection is the way to go ! My friend stayed in this hotel and loved it as well.
Why did you like el carmen better ?
My favorite so far for me.
This review was spot on!
Brother, I want to give you all the engagement possible. You're doing gods work.
Cory - thank you 🤝
He really is. You placed it in the perfect words.
can't wait. I'll be there in 3 days..
Great review. Thanks man!
You are by far the best at reviews bc you’re just so informative and honest about your entire stay! I’m gonna book this for October just before my birthday… I hope it’s a good time of the year to go! Hahaha
I've had good luck in October
Thank you for this video. I'm traveling solo and booked at both excellence punta cana and Iberostar Grand. I'm very indecisive. They were both rated 5. You just helped me kind of narrow it down.
Same here. I'm also planning a solo lady trip in July, and his video makes excellence seem so awesome. I think this will be the one for me
I've only been to one Excellence hotel, the "Excellence Playa Mujeres" and it was absolutely outstanding...clearly, Excellence is a great brand.
We have been to both EPC and EEC in D.R. and EPM and ERC in Mexico. We love all of them. Each is unique . Can’t go wrong with an Excellence Resort. Went to EPM in May and are booked to go to ERC in August and EPC in December.
Thank you again for these vids! I am going to Secrets Cap Cana and decided to resort hop from there to Excellence Punta Cana. I always get a bit nervous trying out a new place but it looks great.
My wife and I have been undecided on a resort for a month or so now. We’ve only ever been to one other all inclusive and that was majestic elegance 6 years ago. This video popped up on my feed and we booked excellence right away! It was on our top 5 list we came up with - we’re going for 5 nights in January and we can’t wait!!
How was it ? I am going next month.
Yes, what'd you think?
My wife and I going late January too, I'll be the one at the swim up bar all day lol.
Where did u book through??
How was your stay? Planning to book 6 nights on April 🌞
Great review as usual!
Your videos are awesome. I'm a travel agent and find your videos very factual, helpful and I appreciate your work. I booked a client here for August 5-14-2022. I hope they enjoy it .
Agreed on the Excellence Club evaluation, I actually go without (considering the cost). Also, totally concur with the nightly entertainment, not just here, but with just about any all-inclusive. Thanks for getting this review to us!
I absolutely agree with that rating
Guy has my dream job.
SO elated to hear you had a wonderful experience here and rated it a 5 on a scale of 1-6. I completely agree! My daughter got married here September 2021 and it was most beautiful. We can’t say enough about our experience. We plan to try another Excellence Resort, just need to decide if it will be in the D.R. again or maybe Mexico this year.
Love your channel, keep of the great work!
Just want to say to you, i was in cancun in excellencw resort.. and that wast the best expiriance of my life. The resort, food every thing is 10/10
We are from europe and want go bac just to this hotel in cancun.. amazing
Both EPM and ERC are good. The main pool at both resorts are fantastic! We’ve been to both EPC and EEC also. Can’t go wrong with Excellence resorts.
@@mislavpavic7217 going in 3 days! Love this place.
My wife and I are thinking of going to Excellence PC we celebrated our 10th year wedding anniversary at Excellence Playa Mujeres in Mexico and it was exceptional.
Yes!!!!
You do a great job , thanks
Just came across your channel while looking for our 1st all inclusive vacation. Great videos! Booking EPC now!
OMG How can I live your life!!! Lol love love love your videos
Hey James! Just wanted to let you know that people have started to recommend you on Trip Advisor to view your videos and reviews! I would say that’s pretty awesome.
This is a helpful review
Looks like iam staying here 😊🙌🏾
Wow, the food looks terraible. Not what I would expect.
Going here in 3 weeks. Great honest clean video.
Did you go yet?
Great review! We LOVE this property and totally agree with your review! It is heaven on earth! Now I just have to try a Malibu Mint!!
The Malibu mint is a game changer 😎
How was the food ?
This is such a relief! After watching ALL of your PC resort videos, I hesitantly booked EPC for June a few weeks ago. I was nervous to go somewhere I hadn’t heard your thoughts on since you are so thorough! But I felt like your other videos gave me enough to know what I should be considering when selecting a place to stay, and this one seemed to fit this bill. Now having your stamp of approval is the cherry on top!
I would love to know your thoughts when you visit!
Omg, I'd love to hear how you like it as well when you go! I'm booking right after in July
Do it, you won’t be disappointed!
How was it? Looking at El Carmen for June.
Thanks James ( again lol) we're be at EPC early November fir 2wks celebrating our anniversary, we're in a club room too but could only get a garden veiw as its fully booked for our dates.
I'm hoping to upgrade when we arrive just incase anyones cancelled.
Thanks for you're review I love it and can't wait.
We've also done Majestic Mirage but prefer the Excellence resorts.
I have stayed at Excellence El Carmen not to far from this resort and it is amazing and it was more alive… more music , more people so much fun but classy.
Sounds perfect to me. When you turn 59 you will understand 😊
Hell.. I'm 40 with two young kids, sounds flipping amazing to me.
We enjoy your videos, and we agree the Excellence resorts are the way to go. My wife and started going to Excellence resorts 2012 and have been going at least twice a year. My wife likes Excellence Riviera Cancun ERC (more of a Mexican Vibe), and I like Excellence Playa Mujeres EPM. The EPM general pool is bigger and lots people to meet. At ERC the club level pool and General pool are very sociable. We meet new friends every year we visit these sites. We always upgrade to the club level and stay in their two story suites. One year they upgraded us to the Imperial suite at ERC and that was mind blowing. You should try either ERC or EPM ... maybe both. We would like to get your take on them both. The ERC Magna clubs has tomahawk ribeye steak that will make your night. Safe travels.
Awesome video. I’d love to see you review excellence el Carmen and see how the two compare!
All I can say is wow. I was at the Excellence El Carmen the last week of March and as beautiful as it was, the food was really disappointing. Glad to hear you had a much better experience at their sister resort. We still had a good time, and met some great people. Agree, mostly couples there too, and not a party resort. But it was easy to get a small party started with like minded people. For those wondering about the Excellence Club, what I/we liked best was how they manage the Excellence beach section. You essentially have your lounger for the day, and never have to worry about the towel game, or someone taking over "your spot" should you go for lunch or a long walk on the beach (yes, I am paranoid about that - ask my wife!). Yes, you do get some private areas (never really used them other then the beach), separate check-in, and perhaps better building locations and views. That being said, I would still do the upgrade, if there is a next time. Cheers!
I experienced the same thing at Royalton Punta Cana vs Royalton Bavaro. The two hotels have the same ownership, are situated next to each other, and possess immense similarities. The culinary experiences, however , we bipolar.
@@Coolist Thanks for the reply. Agree 100% about experiences. Did you ever get to Royalton CHIC? I have always been a fan of Karisma resorts, which seem to be more consistent in food. Though...life is like a box of chocolates... . Cheers and can't wait for your next video.
@@korbindallas6727 Excellence Playa Mujeres in Cancun also has TERRIBLE food but we loved everything else and considering excellence. We've only stayed at Paradisus before.
Biggest pet peeve is the stupid towel game and lack of loungers or cabanas at the beach. I would pay extra just so I can have a dedicated spot every time
@@gunsmokezz Check out the Excellence Club. An up charge, but you have an exclusive area on the beach. Access is controlled. Never had any issues getting a lounger. They track your room, the palapa where you sit, and set up your towels for you. If you get there early (we were early risers), before the towels, then they have a process to let you pick your spot and they then put towels there when available. Never an issue or worry going for breakfast, lunch, or a long walk on the beach. Other resorts with "exclusive" areas on the beach could learn from this. The Excellence Club also has a couple of other benefits to read up on, such as specific buildings etc..
I want to try a new island for my husband and I's 10 year anniversary that's coming up next year. This video definitely put EPC on my radar.
I’m currently sitting in my hotel room at this very resort he’s in (excellence Punta Cana) and I’m in the exact same style of room he’s in and I can tell you this place is incredible! However the ride here isn’t that nice cause the Dominican Republic looks rough right up until you roll through the front doors and then it’s incredible in the resort. When you get off the plane look for your shuttle bus outside where the cars pull up and look for green polo shirts and black suvs. Again the D.R. Looks like shit but this place inside the gates is fantastic and the workers are all super nice!
Have you reviewed Secrets Cap Cana? I would be interested to know what your thoughts are on that resort and how it compares to others. Thanks, great work.
Thanks for this one James! My wife and I will be spending a week there in early July and have the private pool room as well. Your video reassured me that we picked the right place for us. Love your channel and appreciate the effort you put into sharing your travels with us. Please keep ‘em coming and stay safe!
Thanks Kristian 🙏🏻
Great to hear your thoughts on the resort, thanks for sharing. I don't think I have ever seen Excellence Punta Cana look so quiet. The front club pool is usually quite lively (though certainly not party) and Alegria disco can certainly get lively once the martini bar shuts. However, in truth, I would not regard the property as your kind of scene, as it is most definitely a couples centric, tranquil haven (though I was confident you would find a lot of quality in it as well). If you walk to the right, just as the beach bends around the corner, the water is usually swimmable but of course you lose the beach service as it is off property. I am off to Excellence Riviera Cancun in Mexico two weeks tomorrow (fingers crossed) and in my opinion, its a notch up from Excellence Punta Cana. But even then, a lot of people think Excellence Playa Mujeres is better still (though ERC remains my favourite).
This was filmed during peak of peak season. The resort was packed, but indeed the crowd was subdued
I'm heading over Monday at that's want the quiet pool.
Hey James, are you going to do another Punta Cana hotel trip? I thought you were doing 20 hotels but haven't seen any new videos yet. I am looking to book a trip for early 2023 and wanted to see what other places you were going to stay.
Going next week and was praying you didn’t give it a bad review. I’m
Happy now thanks for the review!
Im going on Saturday and was praying for a good review lol
@FraletaW @RGravy Also headed there Saturday! Cannot wait especially after this review
@@xXboscodmw2Xx nice! Yeah same here. Super excited.
I'm planning on going there next month! How did you enjoy your stay? Hope it wasn't rainy
@@jjjlove2260 I had a great time weather was absolutely beautiful. We found beach massages for $35 right on the beach close to hotel that was amazing that saved us hundreds from getting the hotel massages. We had a swim up room that was breathtaking. Staff was friendly and property was clean. Food was pretty good for an all inclusive. Only thing i didn’t like was the liquor selection it was trash but that’s typical for an all inclusive other thn that it was perfect.
Hi, we watched your top 8 hotels in Punta Cana and notice you went to Excellence Punta Cana after creating that video. Please can you advise where you would rank EPC in that list? We are looking to travel this September.
Hey! Love your videos. Have been checking out a bunch lately to choose a honeymoon spot. This one is really high on the list as well as the Hard Rock. My only concern with EPC is the crowd. We’re planning on mid-August. Did you find it was a predominately older crowd? We are in our early 30s. We still want to have fun and party a bit while we’re down there!
Crowd can be luck of the draw sometimes. Generally the crowd is older at Excellence, but on the right weekend I've heard excellence can have some energy. I wouldn't count on it though. You may want to consider Royalton chic...
Broo, how do u stay so fit and youre drinking and eating like that? :)
Love your videos
He needs to do the Sanctuary Cap Cana, I've been there over a dozen times and I truly think its the best resort period.
Hows the beach though....alot of reviews said it was murky water overloaded with seaweed. Aside from that I had it in my top 3.
How was the food?
This was Definetly our all time favorite. We have stayed at other resorts in Punta Cana as well and always find ourselves comparing it to Excellence. Going back this year. Cant wait!
Have you tried Lopesan resort?
I liked Excellence Punta Cana but my fav Punta Cana hotel is Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana. Thought the food was better at Hyatt.
Service was very good at Excellence but very iffy service at Club pool for drinks. I am going back to Excellence in 6 months though - cost is much better than the Hyatt.
FYI - I went solo but met so many wonderful people.
@@lynnsmith8963how is the beach/water? Is it swimmable? do you recommend the club level over the regular when it comes to quietness / less crowd on the beach or not really? Thanks in advance.
@@parinazaz4044 I’m not a beach person, prefer the pool. Beaches are beautiful but many days are red flagged. Very strong undertow.
I’ve been to Excellence Punta Cana and Excellence El Carmen. At Punta Cana I do club only because of the club pools (El Carmen does not have club pools). I wasn’t a big fan of Magna (the excellence club restaurant, don’t need upgraded liquor. So club isn’t a big deal for me. If you have the money go for you. You are not treated any differently if you are club or not. The staff are AMAZING!
This is a beautiful property, been there, loved it!!
I did not think the food was pristine.
Just okay.
Great videos!! Your videos were very informative!!. does the excellence punta cana offers premium drinks in the regular package ?
This was awesome!! Did you like Excellence more than Majestic Elegance?
Really looking at booking for my honeymoon. It does look a tiny bit remote but I think we’ll go on the odd trip and just be happy to chill!
I have booked the Excellence Club Honeymoon Suite with Rooftop Terrace Ocean Front. I hope this is a great experience
Great review and love your video's! What is the name brand of that dark blue t-shirt you are wearing at the end. Thanks!
Currently finishing up a stay at this resort and it has not disappointed. Clearly Chez Isabelle is the food winner and I'd approach Lobster House with low expectations. And, I'm wondering how much influence this video has had on travelers as most folks at the pool had Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen. Too funny. Made my choice to stay here in no small part to this video. Cheers.
I just booked my honeymoon for here, and was so excited to find this video and your glowing review of the resort. We definitely are looking for a more low-key, quiet resort. Can't wait to try a coco Loco!
Great video, have you stayed at the excellence El Carmen also in DR Punta Cana? We can’t decide between the 2 excellences, from what I can see online the El Carmen is newer and has a more modern design compared to the more traditional feel of the Punta Cana. Thanks!
Are coco locos available at all bars or club bars only ? We are booked for next March in non club and are considering whether or not to upgrade....your review of Excellence Punta Cana has made our group very excited ...thanks 😎
Really enjoy your videos, have followed most of your DR stay. Just wondering about the beach at the Excellence Punta Cana. Is it always rough? are you able to swim in the waters there? Cheers.....
I have been to EPC for 2 weeks last February and loved it. We weren't in the Excellence Club section, but we really enjoyed everything. The only thing i didn't like are the waves.. kinda too rough and we had that red flag all the time we have been there. Glad we took an excusion to Saona island to enjoy swimming in a calm sea.
How was the trip to Saona Island?
@@therealcpshow7386 I loved going to Saona Island. On the boat going there, we stopped at a natural pool. We saw some sea start. The water was so clear and warm. Then back on the boat to head to Saona. This is the true paradise. This is THE place to see when you are in Dominican Republic. The water is warm with soft waves. I just didn't want to leave. I wish we could spend a few days there. Yes there are a lot of people but we can deal with it. It's not worse than on a resort. Yes i would go back to Saona without hesitation.
Saona I hope to visit in a couple of days.
Thanks for the video! Which resort in Punta Cana would you say has the best beach in terms of that calm water rather than choppy?
great review ! you look like you had fun and enjoyed yourself! do you actually go to these resorts solo? I thought maybe you had a S.O. behind the scenes.
In August I am going to their other resort El Carmen. Normally I travel with my boyfriend and 2 other couples but we broke up so I am still going with my friends but will be solo. I think I will still have fun.
Thanks
Been watching your vids on Punta Cana now all week. Thanks for the info, great content.
I've heard the beach a little further down at Excellence El Carmen has more calmer waters. Do you know if that's correct? We are torn which one to go to for out anniversary.
EPC has the better pool layout
EEC has the more updated and modern esthetic.
Please let me know if you can weigh in on the differences between those 2.
Thank you
