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 !
What I wish I
could change:
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.
Why YOU should
go:
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.
This colonial-style resort is the ideal destination for couples seeking secluded romantic getaways. Nestled among palms on a perfect white-sand beach on a remote stretch of Punta Cana's northern Caribbean shoreline, Excellence Punta Cana provides the perfect All-Inclusive playground for adults only and is also home to a world-class spa, state-of-the-art fitness center and an exceptional range of activities and services.
