I booked this place couple of days before new years (Risked) but it had 9.2 stars. It was my first time going to Punta Cana and I wanted it to be special for new years AND I paid extra for Ocean View room. I was excited and sent a message to property to ask them about booking dinner and everything else that is needed for my special new year. This is what I encountered: 1) I barely understood at the reception the girl that checked us in and she said I can't book any fine dinning dinner because everything is booked! I showed her my message upon booking and all she said well Im sorry. 2) Then we were taken to the room which my booking clearly shows is Ocean View Suite just so I learn that my room is looking into the garden and neighboors pool!!!At this point I called front desk and the lady was yelling at me saying that I got what I paid for, and that they have categories of Ocean view LOL excuse me!!?How would I know that if Im paying for Ocean view?? Several minutes later she called and apologized for her tone. She said she can try to give me an upgrade after new years and into next day but I still didn't see the value only annoyance with packing and unpacking for couple of days. At this point I said I want refund for each night I paid extra and I'll duke it out in the room I unpacked. I overpaid everything at this resort, later I'll learn that food is total crap that added to my experience. Entering into 2026 turned out exhausting experience at El Carmen.

We have stayed in Excellence resorts twice before (Punta Cana and Playa Mujeres). When we checked in to the Excellence El Carmen, we did have a few somewhat minor, but annoying issues: 1) No hand soap in the bathroom (they use bath gel near the sinks, but we didn’t have that either). 2) The table in the living area still had drink rings on it from a previous guest. 3) There was no “Do Not Disturb” sign in our room. Also, the hot/cold knobs in the bathroom were reversed, so turning the “cold” knob turned on the hot water. No major issues, but it felt like a lack of attention to detail that was surprising for an Excellence resort. The resort grounds were amazing and immaculate. Definitely made the stay feel like we were at a true luxury resort Dining was a bit of an issue. We had a group of five and we found we generally had to wait between 30-60mins for a table for most lunches and dinners. We managed it by getting on the waitlist before we were hungry, but seems like an issue that could be managed by opening another restaurant or having more staff/tables in the existing restaurants. Room service was terrible. We called for two items and were told it would take 30mins, but it took around 1hr 15mins to get the food. The Guest Experience staff, specifically Dilson, was great in recognizing the issues and making some special arrangements for us to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. His efforts definitely helped improve our experience and how we felt about our stay.

The property was beautiful. Had issues with our room. Some of the staff were rude. Our mini bar wasnt stocked everyday. When we got ready to check out, I called for my bags to be picked up. The front desk said they were sending someone. I waited 45mins or more and decided to take the bags myself. When i got to the bellsman he said nobody ever told him. Honestly, this is the first resort that I've had so many issues with. Which is sad because it was a nice resort and they did have some staff members that really were good.
