This was my first trip to the DR. We had a great time. Only complaint was the beds were hard. We did request a pillow top mattress pad and that helped a bit. Chez Isabelle was the best restaurant on the resort. We ate there twice. Spice was good too. OMAR, our beach waiter, was the best. He was so... More

Let me preface this by saying that I read reviews on here for months before our trip. My husband and I are in our mid thirties & wanted a nice all inclusive resort for our ten yr.anniversary. We found that in the Excellence! We have been to Cancun, Aruba, Nassau & on a few cruises but we will definately be... More

Let's start from the beginning. When you arrive in Punta Cana, yes, there is a $10 entry fee, cash. Once you get your luggage, you will be ambushed by many gentleman insisting that they will take your bags to whichever transport service you are using. I was reluctant, but ended up at the proper desk, Blue Travel, booked though Expedia... More

We had a good trip and a good time overall. We were there to celebrate our daughters wedding. I will start from the momemt we arrived. Coming into the country was easy with no problems. The trip from the airport was a lot longer than anticipated. Instead of the 30 minutes that we were told, it took about an hour.... More

I studied tripadvisor for weeks before this trip and I had hoped that the negative reviews were due to isolated circumstances-but that was not the case. For a resort with over 10 places to eat, they really should think about downsizing to 2 and focus on quality over quantity. From the bug infested lettuce leaves, to the rotten produce and... More

My husband and I just returned last weekend from a 5 night stay at the Excellence. We had a fantastic time. Loved the pools and the food was really good (although didn't really care for the Dominican Republic night at the buffet). Loved Spice and Chez Isabelle restaurants! We even did the Romantic Dinner on the beach....and wow, was that... More

Very upset about some negative reviews; we have travelled troughout the world and three times at the most recommended resorts in Punta Cana. here are our negative points for the Excellence Club To the young lady who would escort us to our lounging chairs on the beach, bring the towels and spread them on our chairs so we could be...

Having just returned last week from a 13 day vacation I have to say that the trip was wonderful. We travel multiple times a year and have stayed and various resorts in both Mexico and the Dominican. We were fortunate enough to stay within the Excellence Club and were greeted with champagne upon arrival and then escorted to a private... More

First trip to the Dominican Republic and after months of research we decided on Excellence Punta Cana for our 30th anniversary. Flights and clearing customs/immigration was smooth, 20 minutes after landing we were sitting in our transfer van. EPC is a long ride from the airport but if they fix some of the seemingly hundreds of potholes, the trip would... More
