The grounds have everything you need and very secure, no reason to go off property. The beach is beautiful with plenty of seating for regular guests and club members. Plenty of great restaurants for every meal. It felt very relaxing and peaceful, didn't seem busy at any time. The nightly shows are great, something we hadn't planned on, but very exciting.

Loved the food, evening shows, bar options, room and overall ambiance of the resort. Rosio, from the pool wait staff, was phenomenal!! She took care of our every need. Only dislike was the language in the music around the pool. Very offensive. We heard other guests make the same statement.

We had an amazing time at the Excellence El Carmen! The beach was beautiful and pristine, the water was so clear and warm and the waves were fun but not to big. The staff at the resort were amazing, so friendly and helpful. The coffee was amazing at the Aroma coffee shop and the breakfast buffet. The selection of restaurants was good and they were all open plenty for us. The food presentation was great and the quality was good, some of the flavors and preparations were slightly off. The resort buildings were beautiful and well maintained. Our room was huge and clean with an amazing balcony, it looked like all the rooms have bathtubs with window sides and blinds (in addition to private separate rain showers) so you can bath with a view. The drinks were delicious and the bar tenders were so fun! The smoothies and juice were also a definite highlight. Can not recommend enough for anyone looking for a luxurious, relaxing all-inclusive experience right on a beautiful beach.

The property was well maintained and the staff was very friendly. Especially Emmanuel and Jonathon at the lobby main bar. They made sure everyone was taken care of. The swim up room was clean and spacious. The food was delicious. The only thing that I really didn’t like is the Spa. I would not recommend. It was very unorganized. I did not receive the 75 min Hot stone deep tissue massage that I reserved. I got a 50 min massage that did not include deep tissue or stones. Then upon checking out I was charged for 3 massages and my friend was charged for 3 as well. We then had to rectify this by the spa having to go through days of papers to see if in fact we got 3 massages (which I didn’t) my driver had to wait an additional 30 mins for me to check out. Had we not paid attention we would have had to pay an additional $600 for services we didn’t receive, again. It was in pesos so we would have never known. All in all the resort exceeded my expectations besides the spa. Which was unfortunate as I love to get massages when I travel. That is why I could not give this resort a 5 star rating. I feel like anything you pay additionally for should be worth it.

Beautiful getaway!

Beautiful place!! Most staff was very helpful. AC in the room would not go below 68°. We requested a fan and a dehumidifier. These items helped tremendously. I wish there were more seafood selections as well as salads. If you like beef, they have you covered. Beach is gorgeous! Watch out for the coral. There are sandy sections.
