Hispaniola 5 Stars Hotels

"It’s real paradise "

"Regular rooms and nice beach. Food was average. My family and I got food poisoning. Still recovering. In multiple trips to Punta Cana, I never got food poisoning."

"We had a very enjoyable stay at Excellence El Carmen and would rate it 4 out of 5 stars. The resort has a great atmosphere and feels very private and relaxing. We stayed in a Junior Suite with a private pool. The room was spacious and comfortable, though housekeeping could improve attention to detail. Some surfaces were dusty and the floor could have been cleaned more thoroughly. Service was mostly excellent. The waitstaff were consistently friendly and attentive. The hotel management also stood out — they followed up after room service deliveries and were very caring when my wife wasn’t feeling well one day. The only exception was the staff assigning tables at some restaurants, who sometimes seemed uninterested. Food quality was generally good, though not outstanding by European standards. Our favorite restaurant was The Flavor Market (Spanish cuisine). The Lobster House was the only real disappointment — especially for seafood lovers from Maryland. The beach is excellent and the dedicated Excellence Club area is a great feature. However, the hotel should ensure there are enough well-maintained beach loungers available so guests don’t feel the need to reserve them early in the morning. Overall, a fantastic resort experience with a beautiful beach and friendly staff. We would definitely consider coming back."

"The resort area and rooms were very clean. The beach was also quite nice with about a 200 yard sand bar where you could wade out into the water. "

"Staff were very helpful and were always around. There was food and drink everywhere even right at the beach. Many activities. Loved the live music every night. Many chairs at the pool and beach. Woodley was very helpful. "

"Clean room "

"Like being in paradise "

"Overall we enjoyed our stay. I would rate it 4-4.5 out of 5 stars. Staff was friendly enough, sometimes they might come off as dry but it might be a language barrier or cultural difference thing. Food was okay. I liked the local Dominican food best. Big waves which our family loved. "

"Clean room. Staff were really nice. Loved the pool. "
