fabulous trip!

I had a fantastic week at the Excellence resort! Aside from not being able to take advantage of the ocean due to extreme weather. I would highly recommend this resort to other travelers! The staff was very accomodating and the restaurants were terrific. The rooms were acceptable, except for the smell. I truly can't say enough positive about this resort. My girlfriend got married on the beach and everything was superb!!! Thank you cheapcaribbean.com for assisting me with my vacation, can't wait to do it again!!

Good trip

My husband and I went to Excellence Punta Cana the last week in April and had a great time. The trip from the airport to the resort was quite lengthy but I was prepared for that from reading reviews about the place. The resort was lovely so it more than made up for it. For an all-inclusive, the food was pretty good. I would definitely recommend it!

Amazing... Excellente!

The place is just incredible! Our room was amazing, the service was perfect... in fact, every day the person who stocked our room made it a point to provide champagne and huge Kit Kat bars because we told him that we liked them the first day.... just VERY nice people! Christian to pool waiter was fantastic and took care of us all week. We both caught a stomach bug even though we did not drink or use the tap water... must be in the ice or when washing the veggies. However, despite the bug, we had a blast. The pools are the best we've ever seen and the beach is huge with lots of places to sit/ lay. The property is so large we were able to stel away a number of times and just be alone in the pool or on the beac, which was really nice. The shows were really fun too. We got married there and had a terrific expeience. Our coordinator was really nice and did a great job. They made it really easy for us and provide a nice service. The photos were great too (although a bit expensive) . Keep one thing in mind... EVERYTHING that has a price there is negotiable... just make them an offer. We knocked $150 off our wedding photos. The resaurants were terific too... we had no problems at all and LOVED the mariachi bands serenading us every nigh. The only bad thing is the proximity to attractions on the island. The drive from the airport was a bit long (about an hour+ because we had to drop people at other resorts) and there is NOTHING anywhere near the property. All the excursions are full-day events because you have to drive 1,2 , or 3 hours each way to do them. Because of that and because the property was so amazing, we skipped all excursions and stayed at the resort and enjoyed every second of it with no regrets. Love this place! Overall, the place is the

Wonderful resort with wonderful staff

The staff is really what makes this resort so wonderful. We heard from numerous other clients how the staff is very much the same year after year. They go out of their way to make your stay as wonderful as possible. There are a few minor problems with the resort such as the mustiness of the rooms but we would not hesitate to return again. I highly recommend Excellence.

It's an upscale all-inclusive resort just for adults, and I think, has the largest lazy river style swimming pool in the Caribbean. The level of service is very good, and all the restaurants that I sampled offer great food. The staff go out of their way to ensure that your every wish is granted !

It is a bit of a drive from Punta Cana airport, but, once you there, the drive was worth it. The sea can be rough at times, so stay within the red flags and don't go past the markers. There are lifeguards watching over.

This is a romantic, somewhat secluded resort, but that's part of the attraction. You get to chose from numerous restaurants, a world class spa and a nice selection of work out equipment to burn off all those calories. This is definitely a place that hosts a great wedding. Many of the folk I met are repeaters and just keep coming back.
