The food and the property were excellent. I did not like that I scheduled a 12 day vacation, only used 2 nights and had to return due to personal emergency. The hotel did not consider my personal situation over Christmas and would not discuss any type of compensation or refund for my situation. Management at the hotel was appalling and I would never visit or use their facilities again nor would I recommend anyone to stay at this property.

A very nice and comfortable proprty. Plenty of dining options. Excellent grounds. Nice and relaxing atmosphere. A bit more work removing plastics from the beach would be desirable. But overall - one of the nicest adults only resorts we have been to.

Food and entertainment was fantastic; there is always something to do when you want to, but relaxing places to hang out wgen you don't. The suite was incredible, and the property beautifully maintained. Best of all was the staff. Avid, Luis, Santos, Angelo, Jose.... all with such good energy and personality. Altogether, a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

We had a girls trip, this is the 3rd year in Riviera Maya and first time with Excellence. It is BY FAR the best resort we have stayed at. We stayed in the club level. The service is impeccable, the food was excellent and the resort is quiet (adults only helps) and very clean! We will definitely return.

Large resort with multiple bars, restaurants, spa, beach & activities. Staff is very young, and the desk staff needs more training in customer service. I arrived during a thunderstorm and was basically abandoned at the airport. The resort has a designated shuttle service but refused to pick me up b/c "booking on Expedia made me ineligible for that service." I was forced to wait hours in the rain & pay $300 by the extortionists laying in wait outside the airport. The desk staff were shockingly rude & uniformed. Ditto with some of the restaurant hostesses. Shout out to Estefany, at the Concierge desk (Gold!) & the Director, Andrea, for doing their best to make up for this blunder.

We had a family emergency come up and had to leave after one day. The Excellence refused to give us any refund. Considering that this resort is an expensive all inclusive package and we only ate and drank for one day they could have given some consideration for at least that. Be aware if you book with the Excellence and you have to go home early you may lose thousands.

I had a swim up pool ocean front view in the excellence club area and loved the view. There were people getting up early in the morning to save spots but I didn’t have to worry because I was right there and had my own outdoor patio bed. The servers are attentive and come around to take drink orders. Housekeeping were attentive and made art out of the towels which was refreshing. I thought the bed was really comfortable and didn’t care too much for the room bar but I requested for other bottles to be swapped out during check in and reception told me it could take up to 2-3 days but never happened. I enjoyed drinks most at the Excellence Lounge because of the top shelf alcohol which you don’t find at many of the bars. I love that there’s a variety of restaurants and food options but I would not recommend the food from Spice if you are looking for authentic Korean or Japanese food. The room has wear and tear so don’t expect perfection. I could tell from the walls that they were painted white often and couch sunken in. The staff were friendly and approachable. I felt the size of the resort was perfect, not to big or small. The amount of activities were good and there was always something to do.
