Yes, I want to see more videos. Thank you so much!! We have booked this room category as well. Its the ocean view right because I was thinking I should have booked oceanfront but this is a great view.
Thank you for sharing Saidah, I am going in December for 9 nights. Booked the same excellence club 2 storey terrace suite with plunge pool and ocean views. I will be solo travelling to Dominican Republic for the first time. It was either here of Los Cabo’s for my retreat, reset and recharge before bigger things in the year of 2023. Bless up!
Very nice we stayed at a Excellence Playa mujeres Cancun. Thanks for your video very informative and their food is excellent hoping that this one is as well as I plan to book for next May thanks again Andre.
Thanks for showing so much of the rooftop area! My husband and I going to be in this room category next year for our anniversary. We've stayed at the Excellence resorts in Mexico and Jamaica, but never in a 2-story rooftop. I'm a little worried about it being too hot to hang out up there during the daytime - and that the plunge pool isn't any deeper than a bathtub. I'm also wondering if the lower level balcony is shaded all or most of the day, and if there is enough air flow where the balcony bed (the lower level) -- with glass on two sides, it seems like it could make you feel like you're in a terrarium, lol. I know it's been a while since your visit, but any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you!
The plunge pool is deeper than a bathtub. The lower balcony was well shaded from above and we didn’t experience any direct sun our heat in that space. We were there in September so just check the temperature for your travel dates. The airflow was great and for us it didn’t feel like we were in a terrarium. The rooftop deck is a mixture of direct heat/sunlight which works great for the pool and sunbathing, but then there is a covered lounge bed to get out of the sun. The walls also provided shade from the sun at different times of the day.
Excellent video, I've watched a lot of videos on this property as we will be going in 2 months. I really like the way you take your time to explain everything as you walk through. I also like that you are considering a food video separate from the walk through.
Thanks for the feedback. We are working on the food video which will be up soon. Let us know what you think of Excellence when you get back and if you have any questions before you leave for your vacation just ask.
Thank you for this information! We are going in October and I am concerned about the taste of the food. I have heard it is not very taste although the presentation is beautiful.
Great video! I have a question about the room and can’t find any answers. On the roof top terrace, is it possible to turn off the lights up there for more privacy at night?
Hello thanks for video..Did resort havr a mosquito problem we stayed Playa mujeres in Mexico Cancun and they had a major mosquito problem hopefully you can answer that question
Do they bring you drinks?? Or should we prepare to have some picked up to make ourselves?? And can we have a set up for a nice dinner up on the terrace?
The private beach had a butler to take our order on the beach and the butler that brought room service did set up the food in our room each time. I’m sure they would set up dinner on the terrace as opposed to the coffee table. The fridge in the room and the room is stocked with beverages that were refilled daily or as requested.
Thanks Tay! You can’t request a specific room number but you choose the room type. For example Beach Front in my opinion give the best views where as beach view rooms are the second best. Anythings after that would have partial and/or obstructed views of the beach from what I have seen of other reviews and my own stay at the resort.
Yes, definitely want to see a video about the food there. Also, what building number did you stay in? Headed there later this year for our 10 year and want to request the perfect room.
Awesome! We’ll share a video about the food we ate and restaurants we enjoyed at the resort. There are so many to choose from. I don’t remember which building we stayed in, but we were in room 3174.
@@TravelCheckIns Yes, we actually took a trip there in October of last year. We enjoyed the resort but not as much as we enjoyed Excellence Playa Mujeres. Overall, the resort was great. Our one complaint is that the rooms need to be taken care of more by the staff.
@mrspann00 I agree with you about the rooms. In my video I expressed my issue with build up on the shower walls, light staining on the furniture, feeling the need to wash the hot tub prior to using it and bugs in the plunge pool. I’m glad to hear your feedback. I’m currently investigating another property to visit in 2024. I will check out Excellence Playa Mujeres.
I’m thinking of planning a trip there for my birthday , do you think it’s worth it to be apart of the club? Also did you book excursions through the resort ?
If I go back I would definitely pay for the Excellence Club benefits again. I may film a video explaining how the benefits made our stay so much more enjoyable. In regard to excursions, we didn’t do any. We opted for spa treatments at the resort and utilizing the private beach that comes with the Club benefits.
I really appreciate you taking the time to edit and upload the video. Congratulations on making it 20 years, amazing!!! This is super nice. Can you tell me how the butler service was? I booked this for my bf 40th birthday present but I keep going back and forth between this campus and the other one.
That’s one area where I feel like the resort fell short. We never saw a butler, however all of the staff was super attentive. If you don’t see your butler day one, I’d ask about it. All of the staff was attentive and helpful so we didn’t notice we didn’t see the butler until it was time to leave. I recommend treating yourself to the spa services for your birthday if that’s your thing. The massages were worth every penny and the hydrotherapy was invigorating. We applied a 15% or 20% discount code for spa services that I believe we got on the site by joining the Excellence loyalty club.
@@humanfairy you’re welcome. You mentioned the other resort. We chose this one because it was kid free and the sister resort wasn’t. I specifically wanted adult only. If you are looking for that you will get it here.
@@humanfairy Sorry…EXCELLENCE PUNTA CANA and EXCELLENCE EL CARMEN are both adult only. I was thinking about FINEST which has an Adult only version and family version of the resort.
@@TravelCheckIns I am looking at this hotel for my next vacation with my wife. However, I am confusing on Ocean view vs. Ocean Front. Was you room Ocean view or Ocean front? Some other video tells the room type in your video as Ocean Front but title of your video is Ocean view. Can you please let me know?
@@jmyoungnak9708 Hi JM, our room was “beachfront”. Here is the exact naming of the room for the resort website: Excellence Club Beachfront Honeymoon Two-Story Rooftop Terrace Suite with Plunge Pool. I believe the ocean-view rooms have sightline to the beach but aren’t beach front. When I researched ocean view it looks like the were not directly facing the beach. Our room faced the beach with no buildings or anything obstructing the view.
Thanks so much for this video. Yes we would love to see a food video from here. We are going here in a month with this exact room type. Would you recommend this particular room and building? We’re there any issues with the room? And Was it noisy with main pool partying nearby or other noises like music from bars? And was the plunge pool warm enough to use? Thank you!!
I would definitely recommend this room type. The views and premium service were worth the money. The private beach access makes finding a place to relax stress free. Plus the waiters that bring you food/beverages on the beach is a plus. The only issue with the room is that it wasn't as new/clean as I expected. Some signs of use on the couches (stains) the jacuzzi could have had better drainage and be a bit cleaner. The plunge pool also had a few floating critters but it's outside so it's to be expected I guess. Those few issues didn't spoil it for me I would just choose a newer property in the future for this reasons. As far a s the noise, we didn't experience any. It was quiet and relaxing. We were there Tuesday through Friday. The guests number did pick up on Friday so I am not sure what a weekend stay would be like. We had 1-2 guest staying in the swim up pools below us, but there wasn't much noice. The resort also has rules about noise after 10pm. Everything pretty much shuts down at 10 pm. Also we were no where near the main pool. When we did go over there to eat it was a lively atmosphere. The pool was filled and everyone having a good time. Our room was so far from the main pool that we couldn't see it or hear anything. There are swim up pools below the rooms so hopefully your will be unoccupied or have quiet guests like when we went. To answer your question about the plunge pool, it was cold. We didn't fully get in though. I put my legs in, but we didn't feel like scooping out the bugs. There weren't many, but I wasn't expecting that. Let me know if you have any more questions and let me know how your experience was once you get back. Warmly, Saidah
Fabulous! I hope you guys have an amazing time and everything ends up being better than you expect. I’ll try and come back around September 2024 to ask how you both liked it.
How many did I get? I didn’t pay much attention to it as I don’t drink it. Either way, it’s unlimited with the room I booked and throughout the resort.
This is one of my favorite rooms to stay in at this resort. Love that it has a balcony and a terrace.
I agree! Thanks for watching.

Do you remember what building this room was? I like the privacy of this room
I don’t remember the building but the room was 3174
