"Great "

"The staff was extremely friendly and provided excellent customer service, always willing to assist and keeping us informed about resort activities. Our room was very clean; although a bit dated, cleanliness was never an issue. The food overall was very good, especially the buffet, which offered a great variety of options with excellent presentation. The buffet was consistently the best dining choice. We also had an excellent hibachi dinner experience at Ma Suri—great food, entertaining chefs, and very good service. Unfortunately, the à la carte restaurants did not meet the same standard. Service was inconsistent, and food quality was disappointing. Our Christmas Eve dinner at the French restaurant, Le Gourmet, was below expectations. While the presentation was nice, the food itself was not good, and one of the five entrées we ordered ran out without notice, showing a lack of staff communication. At the steakhouse, Rodeo Grill, service was slow, taking over an hour, and the steaks were overcooked and cold. Overall, we had an amazing experience. Customer service, cleanliness, activities, and airport transportation were excellent. The only downside was that tipping felt somewhat expected, and service noticeably improved afterward, which came across as a bit pushy. Our concierge, mayordomo Wilimier, was incredible and truly enhanced our stay."

"Everyhing was great"

"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. "
