We had a great time. The resort is beautiful. We had a corner swim up room. It was awesome! The staff was very friendly, food was good, the resort was definitely on the low key side which we enjoyed. I would definitely go back and stay at other excellence reports. The spa was also wonderful . The package we booked had us there for almost 3 hours. Definitely a great day! Our biggest complaints were we wish they placed top 40 type music in the pool area. I also felt some of the people that work there were pushy with getting massages by the pool or booking excursions. I don’t mind being asked once or twice while I’m there but it was several times a day. Overall great resort!

The hotel itself was amazing giving you a variety of restaurants to try different foods. The best bar is the bar is the main lobby bar where the make the best cocktails. The staff Yonatan,Hikaury, Jensi and Emmanuel ensured my birthday was week was going to be excellent. Aside from all the good things the beach needs some love it was not the cleanest.

If you are looking for a fabulous resort in DR this is it!!! The cleanliness is off the charts! They do a fantastic job on the grounds keeping it clean and welcoming. You’ll come in to a cold towel and champagne when you arrive. The excursions are fantastic and well worth going. I couldn’t be happier that I went. The only think I’d change is the soliciting on the beach. But the staff does a fantastic job on activities. They have yoga, bingo, dancing lessons and you just don’t want to miss them. The swim up pool to the bar is heated so it was quite pleasant to go swimming in December. The room was impeccable. I recommend a swim up pool as opposed to the rooftop terrace we honestly didn’t use it but 2-3 times. It was nice to take a nap up there. I loved the jacuzzi in the room. And I really suggest the drink Dirty Banana. Sooo yummy! The foods the best. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to the Excellence Club. Magna and the amenities are well worth it. Every employee there is so kind and nice and don’t forget $5’s and $1’s for tips! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and intend to try out other of Excellence Resorts!

My Wife and I traveled here for our honeymoon this December. Weather was amazing, sunny low 80s during the day, clear mid to upper 70s at night, little to no rain. I could not recommend Excellence El Carmen any more. The best staff, the best service, best food, rooms, views, beach, shows, everything you could ask for in an all-inclusive resort, they have it. Everyone we encountered was very happy and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will hopefully return one day.
