The Excellence was one of the few places where upgrading to the Club actually meant something. That is no longer the case. We booked the Jr Club Suite and upon arrival upgraded to the Club Pool Rooftop Terrace suite. That was a mistake. I believe the photos of our room speak for themselves. Please note the round ring on the bathroom door is where I cleaned. I don’t think anyone has ever wiped those doors down. It was an absolute disgrace. There were area’s and surfaces that clearly haven’t been cleaned in some time. The failure to properly fix broken or missing grout is creating a moldy/musty smell in the room. This is basic maintenance 101. Throughout the resort you see cracked and chipping pain, rust, faded signs, stained and dirty tabletops. This place is only 3 1/2 years old. Maintenance isn’t addressing the issues and no one is following up. There is also no consistency in service. We did not have fresh flowers in our room upon arrival, nor did we get our daily newspaper and fresh fruit. Petit fours delivered 4 times and now consists of cornbread rolled in chocolate, nothing special. Extra club amenities??? The ‘private’ Club beach is no up grade from the main beach area. The only difference we could saw was one area you had to provide your room number & check in and the other you sat yourself, faster service and super happy waitress. No upgraded loungers.

Had everything I wanted when I wanted it - especially peace and quit during the day and appropriate activities during the evening. People were very nice and inclusive.

Great resort, our second time to this resort. The facilities are immaculate, service is excellent in all areas of the resort. The recreation or entertainment team is outstanding led by Casandra. The activities at the pool, activities at night, live shows, bands etc. are top notch. I highly recommend the resort to anyone. They make every guest feel important and will meet your every need with a smile. Dislikes: None, other than our 10 nights stay had to end!!

We really enjoyed excellence El Carmen. The Facility was great, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, I would say that if you have allergies you need to be aware of the foods on any buffet table. Two separate times I asked if there were Nuts in my meal and was told an emphatic no. However, there were almonds in the sautéed spinach and in one of the ice creams. Very dangerous- the staff asked the chef and I just don’t know why I was given incorrect information.

Incredible staff across the resort that really care about your experience and will do anything to make sure your stay is comfortable and memorable. Great option for anyone in the gay/lgbtq community - felt right at home here with my partner and plan to return again.
