    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.

    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.

    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.

      @@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’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!

    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).
