Not 5 Star, but a Decent Place
My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights in late Jan and here is our perspective. For context, we go on three beach vacations each year - primarily to Turks & Caicos. I also travel for work. So I stay in a lot of hotels and have a good understanding of the primary differences in a 3, 4 or 5 star property. First, Excellence El Carmen is not a 5 star property compared to what most would call a five-star resort. It’s no where near a Four Seasons, St. Regis or many of the top properties in beach areas. The property is very large and spread out. Getting a room near the beach is a must. Otherwise, you’ll have quite a walk. The property is well appointed. Rooms are nice (about like a nice Marriott or - Westin). Again, it’s a huge property so where your room is located is important. You don’t want to be in the 8’s, 9’s, 10’s or above. The grounds are 5 star. Very well manicured and tropical. The food is like most all-inclusives - decent at best, but fine. With the exception of one restaurant (Spice - closed in Saturdays) there are no reservations. You just show up and wait - which isn’t what I’m looking for on vacation. The breakfast buffet is large, but 2-star in terms of quality. They have a couple of food trucks - but they only serve pre-made tacos, nachos, hot dogs and hamburgers - tastes like fast food. The drinks are good with plenty of top shelf liquor selections. Just one beer - Presidente…which is typically not on the cold side temperature wise. The other guests are ni

Overall experience is very good! The only thing that is disappointing is the service offered in hotel is generally overpriced unreasonably including transportation, excursion, photography, shopping,etc. Need to bargain for long to get a acceptable price.
