My husband and I do not travel very often without our children so we really wanted to stay in a place that would meet all our needs. I have to say we were blown away from the minute we arrived. It felt like we were in paradise. We have stayed in many all inclusive places including sandals, and by far this was the best. It is the most relaxing atmosphere, so romantic, staff is so friendly and the food delicious. If your looking for loud and party people, there is an area they seem to gather. If your looking for peace and quiet, there is an area for you. Or, if you would like a little activity but still stay low key, there is an area for that too. The place is so big, you can get lost, or be involved. The pools are immaculate and enormous. The beach is gorgeous. The waiter service by the pool and beach is excellent. For the late night hunger the boxed pizza really hits the spot. Don't let the ride to the resort stop you from choosing this place. If you book your transport to the resort before you leave,(from a reputable company) the ride really is not bad at all. I found it very interesting. My husband and I do not want to stay anywhere else now that we have experienced the Excellence hotel.

I stayed at the Excellence Punta Cana for 5 nights of nothing but luxury and decadence. The grounds are not only lovely but spotless. After arriving from the airport, you are greeted with some warm hand towels and a flute of champagne...nice touch. The rooms are large with a whirlpool tub, a balcony with a table, hammock and the pool right at your feet. With so many restaurant choices, you can't go wrong with a meal. It is so nice not to have limitations with the amount of times you wish you to dine in a restaurant and it is quite a treat not to have to make reservations. I chose the excellence package which allows you access to a concierge club with snacks and drinks at your disposable most of the day. The staff was professional, courteous and very willing to serve. The Animation group was awesome in getting people involved with activities and games. Joel, Franklin and JuanCarlos went above and beyond just to ensure everyone had a great time. I will be returning here in August and recommend it highly. Keep up the good work Excellence!!!!

We loved this hotel so much we didn't want to leave. Everything was so well laid out, the shows were fantastic, the guy playing the sax was amazing, what a romantic place to spend a week. The food was good and you can always find something you like. The rooms are great but the only problem was the musty smell in the room and in our clothes which is extremely hard to get out when you get home. It was nice to have a casino at the hotel but don't get excited cause you won't win but it was fun anyway. We will try the Excellence in Riviera Maya sometime soon, hope it is as good as this one.

This was our 8th visit. The resort continues to improve facilities and service. One of the few adutl-only resorts in Punta Cana.

Extremely friendly staff. Recommend booking an Excellence Club accommodation, since it provides special room amenities and access to the Excellence Club lounge with complimentarty food, beverages and PC's.

Food is average but there are many choices of restaurants.

Beach is exquisite - palm trees, palapas and a long beach for walking.

Recommend having resort arrange for private transportation to and from the airport. It is an hour ride from airport, and is worth the convenience at $120 round trip. Avoid the tour operator bus twhich meanders from resort to resort dropping off guests.
