    Great video! I am going to Excellence Playa Mujeres in less than 50 days. It will be my first AI vacation. Regarding the free hydrotherapy included with Excellence Club, I've seen complaints about it recently on the EPM Facebook group I'm in. People are saying that it is much shorter than it used to be. You're experience seems to line up with that so maybe they shortened the free version across all resorts. I'm still excited to try it out!

    • @my.ali.travels
      @my.ali.travels 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Hi. We are going in July 2025 with our 2 older kids, in their 20s. Is there other people their age? How was the AC? Do you recommend this resort or Excellence Punta Cana? Thank you.

    • @my.ali.travels
      @my.ali.travels 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      There are definitely people in their 20s there. I would say it is more of a couples spot, but you will find some people that are there with friends and singles. AC was good, we did request a fan in our room though to make it extra cold! I haven't been to Punta Cana yet, but from my research and why we went here instead of PC was because it was newer and more modern and does seem to have a bit more younger crowd.

      So the sun sets over by beach houses 1-6, so you’d have afternoon, evening sun. The rooftop we had in building 7, the sun was over of us all day, but we went in July and some shade after 3?

    How would you compare EEC and EOB? Can’t decide!! We are going just us two and not with friends this time and find we gravitate to beach more when we are going without friends. We have a beach house 1st floor reserved at EOB but the beachfront HMoon RRT is available at EEC!

    • @my.ali.travels
      @my.ali.travels 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      If you are looking for more isolated beach time/private and quiet, I would stick with EOB. If you’re looking for a deeper beach with rows of lounges, EEC would be better! We personally overall enjoy EOB better than EEC, but both are great!

      @my.ali.travels 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      So I actually liked both! But what was nice about the beach house was just being able to walk out to the beach from the back patio. But I dont think I would like the 2nd floor of the beach house, only the first floor. But what I liked about the rooftop was the aerial view. Plus the room was much larger than the beach house. Two completely separate rooms (living and bedroom)

    If you waste your time and money here, you'll burn through it. My wife and I had to leave our honeymoon early with food poisoning early with no responsibility from the hotel. [1/5] Not what you see advertised. AI reviews on Google be warned. Excellence El Carmen wasn't up to their advertised standards. This is a statement I would make even if my wife and I didn't go home early from our honeymoon with food poisoning. Beware the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Google make no sense if you read them. At worst: Vacationing here has a high chance of getting you sick. Not just upset stomach sick, but getting no sleep because of the constant throwing up, aches and diarrhea. The resort will not refund you for any unused portions of your stay. No matter what is promised to you, you will never see a refund. So you will have to choose between staying and eating the food that almost put you in a Punta Cana hospital, or leaving and never seeing the money again. There are several others with similar experiences recently, and throughout the years. They are all correct. If you're planning your vacation here, understand there is a higher than you think percent chance you get sick. At best: The beach will be nice to lay out at and the water will be clear, but you will get solicited by strangers on the beach. They are nice and will not bother you if you say no, but they will not stop coming. The weather is amazing if you're from the Northeast US like me, but it will rain for several hours each day without fail if you're going most months of the year. While you're inside waiting for the rain to go, you can check out the mold-smelling so-so quality rooms, sample the food that might make you sick (there are lots of options), drink, or even check out the sports bar. The sports bar has a row of TVs that play the same illegal streaming sites I could access from my couch, with matching quality.

      Nothing distinguishes you as an excellence club member. No one asked for our room number at the facilities tailored to club members. No attendants to help. Workers seem unhappy. Some were nice but most of them just seemed so overworked and underpaid. This place was truly disappointing. You’re better off spending less money is a more affordable resort. The excellence club rooms was a waste of money! Very dirty, musty smelling rooms with flies everywhere. We were served breakfast in dirty cups and plates this morning. Food is always cold.
