We stayed in the Honeymoon ECOF suite Jan 30 thru Feb 6 and had a nice vacation. The room was about as close to the ocean as we could get which is what we wanted. The view was "excelanta" but I would not get that room again because we never used the terrace or jacqucci which was unheated and not... More

This hotel had much to rave about, the rooms were lovely, the restaurants and food above average for a Caribbean all-inclusive, a large lovely beach, attentive staff and beautiful grounds. We were just a tad disappointed for two reasons; it's a one hour drive from the airport on narrow winding roads and the ocean surf made it quite dangerous to... More

I just returned from a five day stay at Punta Cana. We enjoyed it very much. It was all great. THe room and food was nice but it was the people at this resort that made it so much more. I'm happy to say that it was a wonderful experience and I would go back tomorrow if I could. I... More

Just returned from two weeks at Excellence Punta Cana. The hotel is situated in lovely grounds however there is nothing within walking distance outside the hotel so a stroll along the beach is the only option if you want to escape the resort for a short time. We were anticipating a 'couples' holiday - quiet times around the pool or... More

My wife and I honeymooned at this place. We booked for ten nights in the most expensive suite, but right when we arrived we knew we made the wrong decision. First they rolled a carry on through so much water that my laptop was ruined and they refused to reimburse unless I left the hard drive intact. Then we got... More

Third time to Excellence. What a great place. Very relaxing, excellent beach, nice updates in progress for the rooms and grounds. As always the staff is phenomenal. Altagracia is still making everyone smile - all day long. Benjamin is making all the bars superb. Robert, Gabriel, and Edgar keep the drinks on the beach refreshed. Wilkins has the chairs and...

What a beautiful resort. Cannot say enough about the friendly, hard working staff. A special thanks to Kassandra the activities director, Juan Carlos an energetic water aerobics instructor, Dorling a great bartender and Angel and AltaGracia the pool side waiter and waitress who always make sure you have a beverage in front of you. The rooms were spacious and we... More

Property is beautiful, people are wonderful, service is excellent. The pool water was too cold to enjoy, as evidenced by the resort being full and the pool being empty. Restaurants were great with the exception of the Lobster House being over rated. Breakfast buffet while it offered everything the food taste for omelettes, bacon and home fries was horrible. Perhaps... More
