Guest reviews for Excellence El Carmen- Adults Only All Inclusive
We loved the Jr Suite with swim up pool! The resort was kept spotless and the food was great. Chez Isabelle was exceptional! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the awesome staff.

Worst food I have ever had in my life. So bad in fact that my husband got sick by the end of the week and had to be seen by a doctor. The staff was somewhat helpful in helping us get him to a doctor but nobody offered any apologies, or attempted to compensate us in any way. He CLEARLY got sick from the food there since he began showing symptoms on day 6 of our 8 day stay. Never again.

Amazing place all around except food. Great entertainment, beautiful property, location, service. Loved the spa. It would be 💯 wonderful if it wasn’t for the average food, that includes buffet and restaurants. Coffee was good, though.

Beautiful resort with great rooms and awesome staff.
The bar by the pool was putting water in my drink one afternoon and when I confronted them, they made it again with tonic water. I told them my drink is pineapple juice and Malibu rum, not water or tonic. The maids are amazing and they do a fabulous job. The best restaurant to us was The Grill, great selection of meats and attentive servers. I’m lactose intolerant and yet your coffee place had both soy and almond milks. Also it was great to have some sherbet while my husband had his ice cream. The jacuzzis at the main pool need to be cleaned better the water was brown after a hour. We were impressed with the resort and will be back for another Anniversary.

Do not waste your money to go there! Let me start off by saying that 95% of the waiters and waitresses are very nice and accommodating. The arrival day was good however the first problem the room key wasn’t working it’s happens no issue....we got in the room it was musky smelling,we used the jacuzzi on friday day it wasn’t cleaned until Monday the refrigerator was leaking we called they didn’t come until the next day or say they say they came the same day which I have proof it wasn’t cleaned up. The left sink was clogged,Also I left my hand bag in the room a certain way when I came back on day one it was certainly searched since I didn’t have any valuable items in there I didn’t report it.Room service was horrible they say it’s almost immediately yea okay I ordered chicken wings it was something else.. a lot of couples were complaing and one couple said the bell guy was making fun of her. We paid for the excellence club and honestly we didn’t even have a “beach bag” in our room you do however get great service on the beach,it was not much difference btw we had to call 2-3 days to get towels and water and to restock our refrigerator..... Emilio from the kitchen/and the grill and Wilkins on the beach were super nice! The rooms were certainly not worth the money, I was very unimpressed on day of check out the so called “ CLUB CONCIERGE “ they didn’t ask how was your stay hope you had a great time or have a safe flight NOTHING! I will NEVER RETURN TO EXCELLENCE EL CARMEN!!!!!

Our stay was Excellent!
My husband and I chose Excellence for our honeymoon. Granted, this was both of our first times staying at a resort like this but we where both incredibly impressed. The staff was so great, the restaurants were great! Room service 24 hours a day! We also enjoyed that this was an adults only resort. We are already looking into our next trip at another one of the Excellence resorts! HIGHLY recommend! You will not be disappointed!

This is our second visit to Excellence El Carmen Punta Cana and will definitely not be our last. It’s amazing! During this visit we stayed in building 9 with an oceanfront view and a private rooftop pool. The room was spacious, private and very clean. We were just a few steps away from our VIP lounger on the beach. We had many restaurants to choose from. The breakfast buffet at the Kitchen Table, the Lobster House for fresh lobsters at dinner, The Grill for a wonderful steak dinner, Italian, Mexican, Asian and so many more. We attended the white party and the Dominican dinner on the beach which was so much fun. Alot of great food and dancing. The staff at this resort is absolutely amazing! Very friendly and always happy. Miguel Angel is who we request to meet us at the doors of the resort to escort us to our room upon arrival. As we walk through the resort he points out all of the fun things to do and makes sure we are settled in our room happily. Jose who works by the food truck is also amazing! He is so much fun and always close by to make sure we have everything we need. When you visit this resort make sure to stop by the spa for a massage. My first massage was so good I had to get a second before I left. I could go on about all of the wonderful things offered at this resort. My husband and I call it our home away from home. Thank you Excellence El Carmen Punta Cana for making us feel welcome. See you again next year! It was Excellente!!! The Haley’s
