Wide white sand beaches front this adult's only, all-inclusive resort. Excellence is located about an hour from the Punta Cana airport. The ride is rural and the roads are rough at times, but the beauty of the area with it's palm trees and beaches is just gorgeous. This resort is a nice size and accommodations are in various smaller buildings. All rooms are junior suites and have a large jacuzzi tub, bathrobe and slippers, a mini-bar in-room safe and pillow menu. We stayed in the honeymoon suite which is a large suite with 2 balconies, one of which has a large outdoor Jacuzzi as well as chaise lounges and a table, perfect for using the 24-hour room service.

We also enjoyed the Excellence Club with it's private check-in/out area, private lounge with hot/cold buffet, premium drinks and complimentary internet. Included with your stay is a complimentary 1 hour horseback ride along the beach and through the jungle. The best about Excellence compared to many other all-inclusive resorts, is the dining. You will find 7 a la carte dining options here--that's a lot for this size resort. The best part, however, is you don't need to make reservations and you are not limited on your fine dining. You can dine at the same restaurant every night, if you choose. It's a really nice convenience not having to guess 3 days in advance what time you might want to eat dinner.

The beach is terrific. It's really private as this resort is the farthest out of town. The beach is very wide and the sand and water are just beautiful. It's perfect for romantic walks. The staff was very accommodating. They can also arrange for a private beach dinner at an additional cost. They also offer complimentary weddings in their gazebo, if you are looking for a beautiful Caribbean backdrop for your wedding. I'd highly recommend this resort to honeymoons or those looking for a destination wedding location for adults only.
