We really enjoyed our stay. We celebrated my wife’s 55th birthday there. Our favorite staff members were Stivenson, who we first met at Spice(Interactive Entertainment Hiabachi) and at The Kitchen Table. He’s so attentive and basically knew what we wanted when we got there. He would have a special table for us and our beverage would be coming up as soon as we sat down. Robinson was a good waiter too there. Yari was our entertainment and beach/pool staff. She’s so friendly and so welcoming to us all the time. This was a great time for us. My wife said this was the best birthday so far. We enjoyed The Grill for dinner, Sports Bar was good too, Los Olas was good for beach and pool time. The drinks were the bomb. Our overall experience there was a 10/10. We recommend people to be looking for Stivenson &his bubbly personality. The towel art in the room was really cute. The room service was good, too. No real complaints. And the drinks were great!!!

We have stayed in Excellence resorts twice before (Punta Cana and Playa Mujeres). When we checked in to the Excellence El Carmen, we did have a few somewhat minor, but annoying issues: 1) No hand soap in the bathroom (they use bath gel near the sinks, but we didn’t have that either). 2) The table in the living area still had drink rings on it from a previous guest. 3) There was no “Do Not Disturb” sign in our room. Also, the hot/cold knobs in the bathroom were reversed, so turning the “cold” knob turned on the hot water. No major issues, but it felt like a lack of attention to detail that was surprising for an Excellence resort. The resort grounds were amazing and immaculate. Definitely made the stay feel like we were at a true luxury resort Dining was a bit of an issue. We had a group of five and we found we generally had to wait between 30-60mins for a table for most lunches and dinners. We managed it by getting on the waitlist before we were hungry, but seems like an issue that could be managed by opening another restaurant or having more staff/tables in the existing restaurants. Room service was terrible. We called for two items and were told it would take 30mins, but it took around 1hr 15mins to get the food. The Guest Experience staff, specifically Dilson, was great in recognizing the issues and making some special arrangements for us to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. His efforts definitely helped improve our experience and how we felt about our stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Had a very nice time, very clean and well taken care of. Pro’s: lots of food options, pools and grounds were pristine. Staff was super friendly. Con’s : staff did not oversee beach and pool chairs,people left there towel there and never came back. Making it had to get a chair, some signage, or attendant cleaning up would help. Guest picking up after themselves would fix everything. Would not hesitate to go back,I’m looking at other locations that offer the same star treatment.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Our room smelled musty/moldy. We had to ask to have our room switched. We were out in a smaller room than what we paid for. The mattress and bedding were damp. The food at all of the restaurants was terrible. No seasoning. The food was served warm, including soups. They don’t have any Dominican restaurants onsite.The beach was not relaxing due to vendors.
