Excellence Punta Cana

Excellence
Punta Cana

Thanks so much to couple Valerie and Tony always booking with 2 Travel Anywhere, LLC.


What a great resort. My husband and I have been to the Dominican twice before, staying at the Majestic Colonial and Paradisus Punta Cana....let me tell you, this resort is BY FAR the best! 

Bottom line, I would definitely return to this resort, in a heart beat! My favorite resort in the Dominican so far!!!! 






Beach/Ocean: WONDERFUL!!!! there was a little sea weed that washed up early in the morning, but the workers did a great job of cleaning this up by the time most people even made it to the beach! The water was so wonderful! A little strong, but that was ok with us, we like waves!!! 


Gym: the gym is one of the best I've seen at a resort. There were roughly 6 treadmills, 4 ellipticals, 2 bikes and a few steppers. There were various machines for weights and dumbells as well. The gym opened daily at 6 am, we were always one of the first ones there and it was never overly crowded! And it was air conditioned well, which helped! 


Drinks: I had the best Mojito I've ever had in my life at this resort....and believe me, I've had my fair share! All of the drinks were wonderful. They always had a drink of the day that one of the beach/pool waiters would bring around as soon as the bars opened (I was always ready by then). They even had Jack Daniels, being from TN...I was impressed! 

Food: the food was very good. Our favorite was Spice, the pan Asian cuisine. They had an AMAZING dessert called Tempura Ice Cream I think, wonderful! I had the Shrimp Pad Thai and the Japanese Curried Seafood, both dishes were delicious. The Pizza place (its an outside setting, so if it's hot....be prepared) was very good. I was surprised at how GOOD the pizza was. Chez Isabelle seemed to be everyones favorite (from what I've read) but I was not impressed. We only went once. We did try Toscano, Italian, which is also where the breakfast and lunch buffet is, and it was very good as well. 
Breakfast was always great. We are healthy eaters/gym buffs so we normally eat egg whites and they were more than happy to accommodate us with our daily "egg white only" omelet. The fresh fruit was amazing! 
We ate lunch everyday at The Grill. I had grilled chicken and white rice every single day! it was delicious. It overlooks the main pool. A nice breeze flows so it's not hot at all! 
The Mixed green salad was a daily fav too! 


 
  
 




Grounds: I loved that you could walk from one side of the resort to the other in a matter of minutes. I've been to a few resorts where you had to walk 10 minutes to your room or ride a golf cart if you needed to get to the lobby! The greenery and flowers were gorgeous as well. 


Drive to the resort was under an hour. We went straight to the resort, there were 3 other couples with us so that helped with the no stops. Upon arrival, they collected our bags, went straight to check in and was in our room with a cold Presidente' in under 10 minutes. Bags arrived 15 minutes later.  





Rooms: they were very spacious and we were in your basic room. Room service/turn down service was always GREAT! by the time we returned from the beach every day, our room had been cleaned, mini bar restocked and everything back in it's place! Turn down service always left you little chocolates with a newsletter with the following days activities.
