Hello I was really considering the honeymoon suit with the top Terrace and plunge pool. Do you have any recommendations on that specific room?

If you waste your time and money here, you'll burn through it. My wife and I had to leave our honeymoon early with food poisoning early with no responsibility from the hotel. [1/5] Not what you see advertised. AI reviews on Google be warned. Excellence El Carmen wasn't up to their advertised standards. This is a statement I would make even if my wife and I didn't go home early from our honeymoon with food poisoning. Beware the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Google make no sense if you read them. At worst: Vacationing here has a high chance of getting you sick. Not just upset stomach sick, but getting no sleep because of the constant throwing up, aches and diarrhea. The resort will not refund you for any unused portions of your stay. No matter what is promised to you, you will never see a refund. So you will have to choose between staying and eating the food that almost put you in a Punta Cana hospital, or leaving and never seeing the money again. There are several others with similar experiences recently, and throughout the years. They are all correct. If you're planning your vacation here, understand there is a higher than you think percent chance you get sick. At best: The beach will be nice to lay out at and the water will be clear, but you will get solicited by strangers on the beach. They are nice and will not bother you if you say no, but they will not stop coming. The weather is amazing if you're from the Northeast US like me, but it will rain for several hours each day without fail if you're going most months of the year. While you're inside waiting for the rain to go, you can check out the mold-smelling so-so quality rooms, sample the food that might make you sick (there are lots of options), drink, or even check out the sports bar. The sports bar has a row of TVs that play the same illegal streaming sites I could access from my couch, with matching quality.

whats tipping like there? Not a big fan of having to tip every time I want a drink
@my.ali.travelsАй бұрын
So I would say most people did like a $1 per drink, but if we stayed at one area we’d tip them at the end a $10 or something. Most people prob do $3-5 for breakfast, $5 for lunch, and $10 for dinner.

Question: we noticed that EOB does not use wrist bands, so how does the resort distinguish who is excellence club and who is not?
@my.ali.travelsАй бұрын
Based on your room number. Excellence Club level rooms are in certain buildings. So everywhere you go, they ask for your room number.

Nothing distinguishes you as an excellence club member. No one asked for our room number at the facilities tailored to club members. No attendants to help. Workers seem unhappy. Some were nice but most of them just seemed so overworked and underpaid. This place was truly disappointing. You’re better off spending less money is a more affordable resort. The excellence club rooms was a waste of money! Very dirty, musty smelling rooms with flies everywhere. We were served breakfast in dirty cups and plates this morning. Food is always cold.

I also recently stayed here and it's by far the worst Excellence resort I've been to. The service was absolutely the worst and the Excellence club is not worth it here. I was greatly disappointed after visiting Mexico Playa Mujeres and the DR Punta Canta, both are far experiences in every aspect!

Heading to El Carmen in November. We have visited the other 4 locations. Rivera Maya was disappointing, hot tub wasn’t hot and we went in February so it was a bit chilly, just seemed rundown to us. Love the food, rooms are nice and clean. First time doing excellence club so we are looking forward to it. It’s very laid back vibe, not a party place. Which I really don’t want to be with young adults puking in the pool.

All the sauna and hydrotherapy pools at the spa are extra UNLESS you book an Excellence Club level room, then you get a free hydrotherapy session during your stay. The bathrooms do not have doors on them. The toilet area does.

They are right down the beach from each other, but no you can't use the facilities at both, just the one you are staying at. But they have most of the same restaurants at each resort. El Carmen is a bit newer and more modern. Punta Cana has a more traditional look. I haven't been to Punta Cana one yet, but have heard great things about it as well.
