Chezisabelle needs to let people know about the cheese cart when you first sit down. Room refrigerator leaks water, ac leaks water in front of sink, ac blower fan is noisy, closet light keeps turning out (motion light) if your standing in there for few minutes Alcohol in bottle is not what’s on the bottle label. Restaurants need to show what’s open by date not just that day. Martini bartenders not very friendly. It’s like you’re bothering them when you ask for a drink. Overall stay at el Carmen not what was expected for excellence. Excellence Punta Cana was much better

The resort was beautiful and the private pool was amazing! The staff, food and service were incredible, however if you are prone to mosquito bites as I am, please bring good mosquito repellent as I was bit nightly throughout my stay even with using the OFF spray purchased at the gift store. This is actually the 1st resort I’ve encountered mosquitos. It appears it’s been a long standing issue at this resort.

I genuinely had no complaints about this resort. Would recommend if you’re looking for a luxurious relaxing vacation. I suggest getting the excellence club package during your stay because you’ll have access to amenities and restaurants that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to enjoy. Staff were super friendly, room was clean, would definitely come again.
