"This property looked good on paper, but it was actually better in person. The staff was super helpful and friendly, the hotel was beautiful and modern and the food was amazing!! Especially the Asian and French restaurants. The bar right below the lobby of the hotel was our favorite because of the great service and friendliness of the staff. The service was sooo good that I need to give them a big shout out: Huge thanks to Narciso Juliany, Elisandra, Anabel, Dahainy, Gregory and Adreisy. Also at the Asian/Hibachi restaurant, we had the best cook (Patricio) preparing our meals. So engaging and full of energy and the food was outstanding!!! At the breakfast buffet we would always be serviced by Eusi Bido, he was one of the best and he always took care of us to the point that he would go above and beyond the call of duty. At the main pool, the entertainment was really good as well, those guys are full of energy and keep the crowd active and happy! The only two issues were that my room had a moldy smell and it was more intense at night time when we went to sleep. And we got the VIP package and were told that we would be able to get a late check out since our flight was late at night. The day I went to request it, the manager was not friendly or helpful and wanted to charge me if I needed to do a late check out. That left a bad taste in my mouth my last day at the resort. But overall, I love this property and will definitely come back with my family. "

"Our stay at Excellence El Carmen was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles, a refreshing welcome drink, and a level of service that set the tone for a truly unforgettable vacation. The resort itself is stunning—modern, elegant, and immaculately maintained. The main pool was beautiful and abundant, and the beachfront is pristine with soft sand and clear water. Our suite exceeded expectations: spacious, stylish, and sparkling clean, with a comfortable bed, a luxurious bathroom, and a private outdoor space that made the experience feel extra special. The daily restocked mini-bar and excellent housekeeping were a great touch. The dining options were truly impressive. From delicious breakfast buffets to incredible à la carte dinners, every meal felt fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The variety is fantastic—steakhouse, French, Italian, seafood, Asian—and we genuinely enjoyed every single restaurant we tried. What truly sets Excellence El Carmen apart is the staff. Every employee we interacted with went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The service felt personal, attentive, and consistent throughout the entire resort. "

"The food was incredible, with plenty of restaurant options to choose from. The staff was always kind and eager to help. Reynaldo, our concierge, truly made our stay exceptional—he went above and beyond to organize activities for my birthday and made the entire experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!"

"He viajado en dos ocasiones a RD y es una lástima que no tengan música tipica o actividades que representen la cultura del país. Ni tan siquiera la mûsica en la piscina. Pero todo lo demâs excelente."
