Dominican Republic Honeymoon Vacations

This was an excellent stay. The food options were fantastic and they made fresh food at a few of the stations. There was lots of variety and everything was super clean. We upgraded to the Elegance Club and it was absolutely worth it. Our butler made the stay absolutely fantastic and the service was incredible. The one thing to note is that it seemed like the scheduled activities did not follow the timetable the resort set out, it was rather impromptu. Otherwise, the pools were incredibly clean, and the beaches were well maintained with lots of seating. I would absolutely recommend for a more luxurious type of resort.

We had a fabulous stay at the Excellence Carmen. Our room (private pool) in the Excellence Club was great. Our particular room had a bit of a walk to main areas and beach but it was peaceful and had a beautiful pond with wildlife. We absolutely loved the staff - Hector, Hendri, and Carlos with the Entertainment group. Along with Epi at the Excellence Club bar. Our bartender at the Bliss bar was also wonderful! Thanks for making our stay memorable. Advice for others - pack bug spray!

The AC did not get very cold. There were also very few places that had AC to find relief from the heat. The Buffet is all outside and it was sweltering. Even with the fan on, we were sweating at night with the blankets. The pool was disgusting, floating plastic cups, lots of dead bugs, and random trash. The food wasn't 5 star level at all. The room service was inedible. The paella was really good and some of the restaurants had some good options. I found myself not eating many things, because they tasted gross. As an example, they used ketchup for the shrimp cocktail dipping sauce. The staff was not very helpful and any questions (activities, reservations, etc.). I tried attending many different listed activities (cocktail workshop, etc.) and no staff member knew what I was asking about. The entertainment was really good and the drinks were good! This place is a 3 star. Not a 5 star, luxury resort like they advertise. I would not stay here again or recommend this resort. I would look elsewhere.
