I have made multiple trips to El Carmen and love it. I have stayed in both room types with the private pools: JUNIOR SUITE WITH PRIVATE POOL and the SUITE WITH PRIVATE POOL AND DECK. I preferred the Suite w/ private pool and deck because it felt significantly more private than the Jr. Suite w/ private pool. Only thing I didn't like about the Suite w/ private pool and deck is that they are all located at the very rear of the property. I am considering the room category you are showing us here. Was there ample air and breeze in the rooftop plunge pool area? Enough sun to actually enjoy laying out? I have stayed in much smaller "plunge pool" rooftop rooms at different properties and it was basically a bathtub wedged between walls and a front row of glass and was dreadfully hot and no air circulating. And shady most of the day. Thanks!
This will be my first time traveling there. It'll be a group trip for my 65 birthday if you can give me more information on other rooms for us to all stay together will we're there. I know this will be a great room for me & for everyone to come & hangout be we all go out.
Hi Angel, what were the reasons for not recommending this resort? Is there another in the area you prefer? Trying to decide on where to stay. Thank you!
How do you make dinner res in advance? How do you become an excellence member? Would you recommend plunge pool or private pool which is shared? For some reason plunge was less expensive so went to the private pool but based on your video the plunge looked better!?!?
My only problem with the plunge pool on the rooftop is that it was cold other than that the room was better! As far as your other questions a lot has changed so it’s best to contact the hotel themselves
bob d hey buddy yes they do refill them but. They make you exchange your empty bottle and they label the room number to the bottle so you can’t share with friends to swap it basically they want to make sure you don’t take anything home. There is a way to beat the system but I will leave it up to you to figure out ;)
Hi, new subscriber...thanks for this. I am debating between This resort and EPC... Any advice is appropriated. My biggest concern is that i need ample shade. Is there palapas here or just the umbrella ☂??
Hey Angel! Currently planning my honeymoon for El Carmen and my question is- when you booked your room, did you book a "honeymoon" "ocean view" specific room? Or is it a regular room? Just looking for ways to save a little money, thanks! :)
so would you recommend this resort angel? feel like the price was worth the experience and what you got for it? looking at booking here for my honeymoon and want it to be special. everything looks nice room wise but didn't know about anything else and was wondering how your experience was
This was Pre covid and I felt the nightlife to be very lacking not sure how they do things now with covid. In theory you would’ve thought the resort was jumping at night but alas it wasn’t, food was also lacking IMO. I would NOT return here
I've been looking into the DR for my honeymoon and I've seen a lot of reviews mention seaweed problem. The beach is a high priority. How did you enjoy the beach? Was there a problem with seaweed during your stay? White sand? Soft?
Hi!, I loved the deets of your room category Great vlog too, we had a two storey suite in EPM you can't beat them. However we booked EPC for 2wks in May in a Club Master Suite, in saying that the resort is closed atm and only EEC is open, so we could be moved to there, the only problem is we payed more for EPC Do you think they would upgrade us as I don't think they do club master suites in Punta Cana. And as much as we loved the dr we booked M Mirage the lastime we visited, so its our first time at an Excellence in the dr. Thanks. 😎
First time going to DR and staying at this resort. Got a few questions. Did you pay for the room or were you upgraded? How can I let the resort know we’ll be going for our honeymoon? I saw u had a a few extra gestures in the room for ur anniversary and my question was did u let them know beforehand? Also is the end of October still good weather for DR? Thanks ahead for ur help. Andrea
tmomgirl tmomgirl this Resort is not one for nightlife or loud music have you seen my review of Chic? I would recommend chic for nighttime fun! This resort yelled at me for having a small beats pill speaker by the pool playing Spanish music because it was so quiet I could hear everyone’s conversation, it is a beautiful resort but that’s about where it stops lol
@@AngelsTravelUnravel thank you... yes I've seen that review and actually went to Chic 2017...it didn't really have night life either... at dusk or after dinner it shut down... Casino had few people in it as well... We travel with a large adult group...
Nijade Burley food was just ok average at best and nightlife was hit or miss some nights the night club had 3 people other nights had max capacity one thing is for sure this place is not a party place most folks and things shutdown by 10pm
Hey mate, looks amazing, did you pay for ocean view? On a website at the moment there’s the plunge pool terrace room with ‘view of pool’ and one that’s ‘oceanfront’ with a steep price difference. Your view is perfect, would one did you/would you opt for?
Andrew Guziec they have all types saw a lot of Jose Cuervo, Patron (regular and cafe), Deleon, Don Julio, and a few other Mexican brands I was not aware of

Will definitely visit, stayed at Excellence Oyster Bay Jamaica and the rooms were just as beautiful.
this really helped me pick the rom for my wife and I's 1 year anniversary thank you so much
Great video!
Stayed in the honeymoon suite there and had a blast! Staff and entertainment was A+ Will definitely be going back
Great video! Thank you for making this! Trying to decide where to go in Punta Cana.
Just booked hols for next year at this hotel and booked Excellence club package rooftop - great video as wasnt sure what to expect - but looks fab
Are any of the pools open 24/7 to use anytime? This will help us make a decision on our room
Hey there! Thank you for the video! Just wondering if you know if excellence Punta Cana has the same room? It’s our honeymoon and this looks perfect
Does the bathroom have a door or is it wide open???
This will be my first time traveling there. It'll be a group trip for my 65 birthday if you can give me more information on other rooms for us to all stay together will we're there. I know this will be a great room for me & for everyone to come & hangout be we all go out.
Hi Angel, what were the reasons for not recommending this resort? Is there another in the area you prefer? Trying to decide on where to stay. Thank you!
Great review, Angel. I love it all!
I'm curious as to why you felt Excellence Club was not worth it in the end? My husband and I are trying to decide if we should the Club or not.
The website says 23 pools but how many actual shared pools are there for guests
Just booked this room. Can't wait!
Hi Ben. My wife and I are looking at this room. would you recommend? Do the two stories have a tub on lower level and plunge pool on roof?
Do you happen to know if any of the rooftop terrace suites that are not EC have ocean views?
Any recommendations on the best time of year to book this room for a good price.
Great Video! Happy Anniversary!!
Hi Angel thanks for your videos and information. Any information on The Nightlife for the adults
We’ll every night we average 6-8 people after 10pm my routine was to go in have 2 drinks then go sit by the beach and look at the stars
Great video!! My wife and I are going in July for our 25th anniversary!!! Happy anniversary to you and your wife!!
Wow thanks for this
Have you been to the Majestic Mirage yet?? Planning on going there would love to know you feedback
What’s the difference between Excellence punta canta and excellence el Carmen?
How do you make dinner res in advance?
How do you become an excellence member?
Would you recommend plunge pool or private pool which is shared? For some reason plunge was less expensive so went to the private pool but based on your video the plunge looked better!?!?
My only problem with the plunge pool on the rooftop is that it was cold other than that the room was better! As far as your other questions a lot has changed so it’s best to contact the hotel themselves
Great Video!! This helped us tremendously on making our decision on which room.
Raven Gem glad I could help!!!!!
Raven Gem glad I could help!!!!!
First time watching this video and planning our honey moon! What exactly is the excellence club?
Any issues with the resort and downgrading upon arrival?
Just to confirm, they do refill the liquor in the rooms? I have excellence club booked in May and was curious. Thanks
bob d hey buddy yes they do refill them but. They make you exchange your empty bottle and they label the room number to the bottle so you can’t share with friends to swap it basically they want to make sure you don’t take anything home. There is a way to beat the system but I will leave it up to you to figure out ;)
What excursions do they offer through the resort?
Great review! One question Is tonic water supplied at the room for that bombay sapphire?
Yes by request
How is the nightlife?

Jeremy Armstrong major seaweed they had a tractor trailer going u and down the beach sweeping the seaweed off the sand but did not seem to help much

@@AngelsTravelUnravel thank you... yes I've seen that review and actually went to Chic 2017...it didn't really have night life either... at dusk or after dinner it shut down... Casino had few people in it as well... We travel with a large adult group...

Sean T hey Sean it’s about 2.5 feet
Is this resort family friendly or adult only
Miguel Del rosario adults only :(
@@AngelsTravelUnravel thank you I think Me and my wife will be going for the summer it look beautiful and quiet
How was food and night life?
Nijade Burley food was just ok average at best and nightlife was hit or miss some nights the night club had 3 people other nights had max capacity one thing is for sure this place is not a party place most folks and things shutdown by 10pm
Wow. Did they include airport transfer?
Nijade Burley no
Hey mate, looks amazing, did you pay for ocean view? On a website at the moment there’s the plunge pool terrace room with ‘view of pool’ and one that’s ‘oceanfront’ with a steep price difference. Your view is perfect, would one did you/would you opt for?
Josh Erskine ocean view building 3!
I’ll be there on Monday for my honeymoon. Any chance you know the tequila situation. Big tequila drinker.
Andrew Guziec they have all types saw a lot of Jose Cuervo, Patron (regular and cafe), Deleon, Don Julio, and a few other Mexican brands I was not aware of
how deep is the plunge pool? To me they look like bathtubs. Are they deep enough (4') like a real pool are is it really a bathtub?
Colleen Mitchell not a bathtub but not a pool maybe 3 feet at best
Not sure why they consider this a plunge pool. The ONLY plunge pool I've seen that is factual is the one that's at majestic elegance Costa mujeras
Esa cama no se ve nada comoda
