I must say, this was our first trip to an All Inclusive and it was well worth the money!! The bus trip from the airport to the Hotel was not to bad, about 45 minutes!! Check-In was smooth and ocean view room was nice! Get a 3rd floor room, it has nice high celings!! Mini-Bar in the room was stocked... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at this resort from 1/21 - 1/28/12 and it was by far our best vacation. We are going back next January...Everything about our stay was wonderful...Never had such a relaxed vacation...The beach and pool were beautiful...If you like long walks on beach, this is the place. We have been to all inclusive resorts before(Sandals) but... More

I went with a friend to Excellence Punta Cana and we had a really nice time. The resort had everything you could ask for and it really made for a relaxing vacation. The staff was friendly and fun. The grounds were well kept. The food was great. We really could not have asked for more. There were just a few... More

Well just got back from excellence punta cana and it was not fun. I am a seasoned traveler and know what to expect from a vacation. I am not one of those people who is fussy and complains about everything but i must tell you about excellence. Upon arrival we were greeted with a wet towel and champagne as most... More

I read a lot of reviews before going and was hesitant with some aspects, but honestly, other than some isolated incidents in the past if you are a carefree/easy going person, this is the place for you. We traveled Jan 21-28, 2012. We wrote the hotel in advance and requested an upgraded room on the third floor with a garden... More

Excellence Punta Cana is a great resort in many ways. The grounds were perfect, the staff was helpful and the beach was very nice. I would say that the food was average or above average. The Spanish themed restaurant was outstanding, but the French one and the Lobster house were lacking. Overall the food was good. The morning and lunch... More

This was our second trip to this resort, and it was as enjoyable as the first. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Some people complain about the food, however, you must remember that this is the Dominican, not Toronto , and the ability to go into any restaurant without a reservation is wonderful. More

Pure paradise, this holiday was amazing! The staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough to help you, they did everything to make you feel welcome and at home, from the maids to the room service waiters to the waiters on the beach. Loads of activities to do in the hotel including archery, basketball, baseball, pool, then different daily activities... More

(Note: I'm writing this review quite a while after our trip, because today I read an article entitled "Top 10 All-Inclusive Beach Resorts," in which Excellence Punta Cana was included. I was surprised, given my experience at this resort, that it would be listed among the top 10 AI's in the world. So I decided to post my story today... More

My wife and I stayed at Excellence Punta Cana from 1/23-1/28. We normally don't go to all-inclusives but we thought we would give this one a try. We are glad we gave it a shot because it changed the way I feel about them. Excellence really helped all-inclusives redeem themselves. It was a million times better than Royal Decameron in... More
