We stayed here for our honeymoon and had an absolute BLAST! The food is great for a resort of this type and the staff has been friendly and accommodating. We love Angelo on the entertainment team, he made our activities super fun. And Concepcion served us a lovely meal at Spice restaurant. Special thank you to them for their lovely service! Overall the grounds are beautifully kept, pools are great (water a little cold in January but there is a warmed pool and hot tubs around!). We had a great time!

The Excellence Cancun is by far my family’s favorite spot to vacation. When you first get to the facility, you are treated with champagne and cool towels. Such a nice and relaxing way to start the trip. The food is amazing as well. With multiple restaurants and bars, there is so much variety that it keeps everyday feeling fresh. The rooms are very big and have a such a luxurious feel to them. The grounds are gorgeous and well kept. But I will say the best part about the resort is the staff. Everyone who works there is truly amazing from the friendly cleaning staff to the event coordinators. Some people who come to mind are Alexis, Mark, Max, Diana, and Angelo. These people are truly amazing at their job and made our experience so much better. 10/10

Five stars aren’t enough for Angelo’s poolside bingo!** 🌟 Angelo absolutely made our week at this resort! His bingo session poolside was hands-down one of the highlights of our entire stay. We were sipping spicy margaritas in the sun, and Angelo brought such an infectious, goofy energy that had everyone laughing and engaged. His fun, quirky personality turned what could have been just another activity into a genuinely memorable experience. Honestly, the entire staff here has been incredible - from the delicious food to those amazing spicy margaritas that keep the good times rolling - but Angelo deserves special recognition. He didn’t just call numbers; he created an atmosphere that perfectly captured what a resort vacation should feel like: relaxed, entertaining, and full of joy. If you’re staying here, don’t miss Angelo’s bingo. And Angelo, if you’re reading this - thank you for making our trip so special! You’re a rockstar! 🎉

The staff are incredibly attentive to their guests here. We are celebrating a birthday on this trip and the guests have been so happy to help us celebrate. Doing everything they can to make the birthday girl in my group feel extra happy. Now, the building is over 20 years old, so some parts are noticeable if you have an eye for it. It's not a negative as they do an incredible job maintaining the property. The property just wasn't built yesterday. We tried the Korean BBQ at Spice. Concepcion was incredible on the grill. A very interesting person to chat with and an absolute asset to this resort. He is a master at his brand. We loved having access to the Excellence Club Lounge for drinks and snacks. The smoked tequila and go-berry were favorites in my group. I also tried to Tomahawk at the Magna (which requires Excellence Club membership). It was well worth the little extra for this club access. It also give you a special check-in and check-out desk from everyone else, exclusive access to two pools, another poolside bar called Cielo and a private beach. Our housekeeper lady was one of the employees who stood out in our book. She'd always have a clean glass and cold water bottle next to the bedside when we got back from drinking each evening. She also collected up the birthday balloons from around the room and attempted to replace the dead ones with live ones to keep it all looking presentable. Remote and chocolate was always waiting on the bed also. You come back from eating and drinking and life here requires minimal effort from you to get to relaxing. My only tip is I whish I had brought a back scratcher to relieve the itch from all the sun I got. Bring many bottles of sun block per person and avoid having to buy more from the gift shop.

We could not recommend this resort enough. We have been before and came back for Christmas and had a great time. The atmosphere is very upscale and relaxing. The rooms are huge. The grounds are well kept. There are many activities to keep you entertained though out the day if you want or you can just sit by the pool or the beach which is very well maintained and beautiful. The staff is amazing and feels like family. They knew us by name and made sure that we had a great time. Alexis always made our mornings fun with pickleball. We had lots of fun with Mark during the afternoon activities. We loved seeing Angelo who always brings the energy and the party. We are already planning our trip back next year and recommend a visit to all our friends and family.
