We stayed at this resort for three nights, and unlike many other all-inclusive resorts, the property and landscapes were beautiful and peaceful. The beach was clean and inviting, making it perfect for long walks. However, the rooms were somewhat outdated and could benefit from better maintenance, although they were clean. On our first day, we encountered an issue with our room that needed attention. Nicky, the manager of the Excellence Club, was extremely professional. She offered us a new room, apologized for the inconvenience, and provided a complimentary couples massage at the spa. Unfortunately, not all staff members in the Excellence concierge matched her level of professionalism; some could benefit from additional training. They occasionally spoke in Spanish to discuss issues among themselves without considering that guests like me understand Spanish perfectly. I found this a bit naive of them, and it created some awkward situations. That said, all the personnel were incredibly friendly and pleasant. Tavarez was especially sweet. The food was good, particularly at the Magna restaurant, though the lunch options were a bit limited. Overall, it was a great trip.

I wouldn't consider this a 5-star resort. My husband got food poisoning from chicken and was bed ridden for three days, he was still sick when we left. We also met a couple other people at the hotels Doctor's office that were suffering from the same symptoms. The property is nice, It's clean but nothing exceptional. I've stayed at nicer resorts in DR. The staff was very nice and accommodating, no complaints about the staff, everyone was very hospitable. The food and drinks were ok but I never expect the food or drinks to be amazing at an all inclusive. The only benefit to this hotel is that you can get a swim up pool hotel room at a reasonable cost.

The property is well kept. The beach is beautiful. Main pool area had places to sit and is convenient to beach and bars. The staff is friendly and fun. The Excellence loses a star mainly for the food quality. While there are lots of restaurant choices, none of them have great tasting food. The best option we found while we were there was a small food truck right outside the main lobby and the sports bar.

I had an absolute AMAZING vacation! The service was phenomenal, the food options were better than expected for an all-inclusive, the daily entertainment can’t be beat, and the attention to detail is mind blowing! Every aspect of our trip was beyond perfect. It never felt crowded, we never waited more than a few minutes to get drinks, the employees work soooo hard to please you and truly make your experience EXCELLENT!

Excellence El Carmen has been the best resort i have visited to date! The staff is very friendly and professional. Our swim up room was amazing and fun to enjoy at all hours. We had delightful neighbors too so we made some friends! Excellence El Carmen has a host of restaurants and food available throughout the day and there wasnt a single meal that wasn't absolutely delicious! I'm an avid steak lover and enjoyed steaks at The Grill, Lobster House (surf & turf), and other and all of them were juicy and delicious. Every evening there were different fun events to jump into. Bars at almost every turn. I honestly don't have a bad thing to say about Excellence El Carmen. I highly recommend anyone looking for a great adults only resort!
