A Dream Vacation at Excellence Playa Mujeres – So Good We’re Planning Our Wedding Here!
From the moment we arrived at Excellence Playa Mujeres, we were swept off our feet—literally and figuratively. The level of service, attention to detail, and warm hospitality exceeded every expectation we had. We’ve stayed at many resorts, but nothing compares to the magic of this place.
Special shoutout to Cesar, hands-down the best bartender we’ve ever met. His drinks were not only delicious but made with so much care and charisma. Every cocktail came with a smile, a story, and a perfect pour.
And then there’s Jesus, the heart and soul of the entertainment team. Whether he was leading a dance class or getting everyone on their feet for the nightly shows, his energy, passion, and kindness made every moment unforgettable. Thanks to him, we danced, laughed, and made some of the best memories of our lives.
Every staff member made us feel so welcomed and valued—it felt like paradise with a personal touch. We were so blown away that before we even left, we made one of the biggest decisions of our lives: we’re coming back next year to get married here! That’s how incredible this resort is.
If you’re thinking about staying here—do it. It’s more than just a vacation. It’s an experience that stays with you forever.

Trip Review
Great place. Excellent service, rooms were clean and quiet. Pools were abundant and always found a lounge chair. Be sure to bring money for tips. I was not aware that we needed this. It was a bit awkward as we never knew how much was appropriate.

Fantastic Trip
Fantastic destination for our honeymoon! Lucy & Alberto by the pools were fantastic and kept the drinks coming. Basmati was our favorite restaurant (shout out to Efraim, best waiter we had all week). Overall the resort was clean, well-kept and had incredible staff.

Not as peaceful
While the adults-only concept of Excellence Punta Cana was a draw for our 5-night stay, those seeking a truly tranquil escape might find the atmosphere less serene than expected. Our building 8 room was spacious and featured a very comfortable day bed on the balcony, though it was still subject to significant noise during the mid-afternoon, often from boisterous groups. The resort's environmental practices were concerning; despite a lack of straws, the sheer volume of single-use plastic water bottles was alarming, especially given the absence of water refill stations for guests with reusable bottles. Service throughout the resort was generally great, with staff consistently trying their best to be helpful. We opted for the Excellence Club upgrade, but the benefits felt minimal, with only a couple of noteworthy cocktails justifying the extra cost. Securing a beach bed proved impossible due to the prevalent issue of early morning reservations with towels, a practice that needs addressing by management. The pools were pristine, though the beach itself lacked appeal despite being clean. Drink quality seemed geared towards sweetness and volume rather than nuanced flavor. Dining experiences were mixed. Magna consistently had lengthy wait times, and our dinner at Spice was disappointing. My perfectly cooked mahi mahi fillet was riddled with bones, and the chef, instead of acknowledging the issue, insisted that mahi inherently has many bones – a questionable assertion. On the positive side, the breakfast buffet offered an impressive variety, and the breakfast at the Lobster House was a highlight, thanks in part to Yumari's excellent guidance through the Mexican options. Ultimately, while the resort has some positive aspects, it simply wasn't the right style for us.
