Had a lovely stay here. It came highly recommended by a friend, and we can see why. The decor is a little dated but honestly we didn’t mind. Not everything needs to be super modern. The staff, food, drinks, service, entertainment, even the airport transport to and from - everything was a solid 10/10. They kept asking if everything was excellent and you can see their focus on excellence throughout. Loved that you could easily get a cabana by the water everyday. Would definitely want to come back and have already recommended it to others. We met a couple who had come back here 3 times over the past 15 years. We can see why!

We recently stayed at Excellence Resort in Cancun and had a mixed experience. While the food was satisfactory, the quality of meat fell short of expectations for a five-star establishment. However, the Kitchen restaurant offered delightful fresh juice and a satisfying breakfast.
The staff’s service was average overall, but Benjamin stood out with his exceptional attentiveness, energy, and friendliness. Juan also deserves recognition for his helpfulness in securing poolside accommodations.
While our overall experience was pleasant, I’ve encountered superior resorts in Cancun at a similar price point.

This resort is great! Some of the big highlights:
-Matilde has been our pool waiter for the last few days. He’s done an amazing job!! Very nice, personable, funny, and provides extremely fast service.
-They offer a lot of fun activities throughout the day (craft classes, sand and water volleyball, dance classes, etc.).
-The food is phenomenal!
-The room service does an amazing job every day, and often leaves little towel animals on the bed.
One drawback—a couple of times we waited MUCH too long for our food.
But, halfway through our seven day vacation, that’s the only complaint.

I have not been to an all inclusive in well over 10 years. I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. We stayed in the Excellence Club and everyone was fabulous. Amabelle was my absolute favorite! She made sure we had everything we needed poolside. Jose was great too! Helped carry rafts to the lazy river and organized a great dining experience for us. I will definitely come back again!

AMAZING! 20/10 review. My husband and I recently just got married (group of 85 people) here and everything from start to finish was just incredible for us and our guest! Not one complaint. Our wedding coordinator Elizabeth was so attentive, nice, accommodating and just overall spectacular to work with. She made everything so easy for us and stress free! Big kudos to her! Food at the wedding and all the restaurants at the resort were phenomenal! Wait staff was extremely helpful and kind. Will be going back soon!
