    We spent 9 days there and loved it beyond words can express. The staff are some of the kindest people in the world!!! We are going back without a doubt. Some of the staff in the videos we know. 😊

    We were here a month or so ago and and loved our stay. The staff are extremely friendly and hard working, the grounds immaculate, the beach very clean, the ocean a bit rough but beautiful. This is a resort everyone should visit in their caribbean travels.

    Awesome review! We stayee in Riveria Maya at our honeymoon and are thinking od going to Punta Cana for our first anniversay next year! Out of all the resorts youve been to, what is your favorite?

      Hi ryan6881, Thank you for watching our video and your comment. That’s a very difficult question. There’s trade-offs when comparing all the Excellence resorts in Mexico and the DR. Some have better service, some have better food, some better rooms. We have a video that compares EPC vs. EPM, where we slightly favoured EPC, but that’s only our opinion and based on our experience. I think more people would favour EPM over EPC, but our last experience at EPM wasn’t so good. We just recently returned from a trip to Excellence El Carmen (videos coming soon). We loved the beach, but the room wasn’t as good as we expected. I think we’d pick EPM as our favourite Excellence Mexico resort, and EPC as our favourite DR Excellence spot. Hope that helps.
      We’re happy you enjoyed our video and hope you would like to see more of our videos.

    Considering this resort next winter. We loved Excellence Riviera Cancun and the old Secrets Capri. How does EPC compare?

    • @GJonVacay
      @GJonVacay  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for watching our video and your comment, much appreciated. We have been to ERC, but not Secrets Capri. Our opinion is, we liked EPC a little more than ERC. We loved the overall open air tropical vibe at EPC better than ERC. We also liked the layout of EPC, as the resort stretches the whole length of the beach/ocean. We really enjoyed the 2 club pools at EPC. ERC is still a very nice resort, with very good service. This is our opinion, but opinions are subjective.

      @@shookiedo2178 It depends on the individual whether a Club room is worth it. We usually book a Club room because we like the private club beach and pools, plus we enjoy Magna restaurant and lounge. You’ll have a great time whether you book Club or not.

    Great video! I’m going back in January after 10 years, so excited! What was your experience with sand fleas/flies? My last experience was October time period and they were awful. Nothing I took to use worked (peppermint oil wipes, deet) and I came home pretty miserable from the bites. Want to prevent that this time around! Any advice?

    • @GJonVacay
      @GJonVacay  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thank you for watching our video and your comment. Our last trip to EPC was in April and we didn’t see any sand fleas. We didn’t hear anyone complaining about them. From our experience April is a good time, no sand fleas, but we couldn’t say about any other time periods.
      Hope that helps.

      Thank you for watching our video and your comment. As I recall there was no smoking anywhere inside the resort. I checked their app and the smoking policy is: All indoor areas are non smoking areas with the exception of the Prelude Bar and the Theater. I hope that helps.

    Do you prefer Excellence Punta Cana over Playa Mujeres? I watched your video comparing the two but wasn't sure if you said a clear winner. We have been to Playa Mujeres and loved it. It seems like Punta Cana is very open air with all it's venues. Did that bother you with the extreme heat and humidity? Thanks for making great videos! ❤

    • @GJonVacay
      @GJonVacay  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for watching our video and your comment. We really liked both resorts, but felt EPC was a slight winner in more categories. I expect most people might prefer EPM over EPC, but that wasn’t our experience. We really enjoyed the open air environment at EPC it felt more tropical and was never an issue while we were there. The last time we went to EPM there were large, loud crowds of people out of control.

      Thank you for watching our video and your comment. On our last trip to Excellence Punta Cana we travelled in April.

    can you clarify exactly how many pools there are ? You said there was one very large pool , but then mentioned 2 other pools

    • @GJonVacay
      @GJonVacay  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you for watching our video and your comment. There’s one very large/long pool that stretches almost whole length of the resort, between the resort and the beach. It’s like a pool and lazy river combination. This pool is available to all guests. There’s two other pools that are only available to Excellence Club guests. The Beach front pool and the Waterfall pool. I hope that helps answer your question. If you have any other questions, please let us know.

    • @GJonVacay
      @GJonVacay  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I’m sorry our video wasn’t what you expected and apologize if it didn’t meet what you expected. The video was meant as an informational overview of the resort, with some opinions. I’m surprised, but sorry you thought is was an AI sounding video, as no AI was used, it was all personal experience and videos. We do have another more personal Excellence Punta Cana video you may like, “Excelling at Fun at Excellence Punta Cana”, give it a try. But it’s only a fun video, not informational. Hopefully you’ll give us another chance. Again we’re sorry you didn’t like our video, but wish you all the best on your next vacation adventure. Cheers, G and J on Vacay..
