Very wellness oriented, a zen like feel, perfect to totally disconnect from daily routine. Bathrooms in rooms need special attention, conditions of the walls and showers are very poor which makes it look dirty. Customer Service could also be better, a bit more friendly and offer options instead of saying “no”. Overall a great experience. Would def check out the resorts under Excellence brand.

I had an amazing time during my stay at Excellence El Carmen! Right from my arrival, I was greeted with such a welcoming and friendly feeling, and the service was excellent. Its important to note that the service was maintained the entire time, no matter where we were. They truly go above and beyond with making you feel pampered and at home. We tried nearly all the dining options and walked out of each so impressed that we enjoyed the meals so much!! The pool area was excellent and beach was so beautiful and clean. The whole trip felt like a dream, and we can't wait to go back!!

I came to celebrate my 11 year wedding anniversary and we found the experience to be romantic and intimate. This property was immaculately kept and the staff are warm, friendly, and accommodating. Johan at the bar in the rotunda is amazing and the food at the grill and magna is amazing! The buffet style dining needs some themes as some of the food options don’t match. However, do not let that stop you from going to this relaxing, very safe, and enjoyable. The excellence club liquor options for the suites should be better top shelf especially for the upgraded prices. I can’t wait to try other excellence resorts in other areas.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay with the exception of one mornings breakfast at the Excellence Club restaurant Magna. We were given a table then waited 10 minutes to get coffee and then couldn't get our waiter to take a food order so we finally left and went to the main buffet after 40 minutes. We mentioned the issue to our Concierge and were treated like gold for the rest of our trip - which was great! It was the only blemish on an otherwise fantastic week.
