First I would like to say, Samuel thank you soo much for being accommodating and special for my birthday. This trip was not only fun, but relaxing ! From the restaurants, my personal favorite being Spice (Asian cuisine), the hospitality and the amenities made everything worth while. We can not wait to visit again. Be sure to book an ocean view room so that you can wake up to the ocean. Visit Lobster House for breakfast. Bingo by the pool or morning work out with their well equipped gym. Then relax by the pool and swim up bar. Bonus, live entertainment every night, my favorite was the female violinist.

We celebrated our anniversary at Excellence El Carmen and couldn't have asked for a more memorable experience. The resort is stunning, with lush grounds and immaculate service, but what truly elevated our stay was upgrading from a suite to a beach-front room. Waking up to the sound of the waves and direct beach access made it truly special. The all-inclusive amenities were top-notch—plenty of dining options, premium drinks, and endless activities. The staff went above and beyond to make our celebration feel personal and luxurious. Whether it was the romantic turndown service or the friendly smiles throughout the resort, we felt genuinely cared for. Highly recommend this resort for couples looking for romance, relaxation, and a bit of indulgence.

Excellence. El CARMEN is a great resort in every way. The staff are amazing and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you’re comfortable. The ocean area is gorgeous and beach service is amazing. We had great meals at all the restaurants we went to although we weren’t able to get to the mall in the time we were there. Good experience from the beginning to the end.
