We had a 10day stay and enjoyed the time spend there except with a few issues. Overall staff are not too friendly and most had attitude issues like they hated their jobs, with an exception of a few of course. I have to admit the rudeness was overwhelming and did put a damper on our stay. Food was mediocre. Nice beach when water is calm but when it's not, very difficult to stay in water. Rooms were large and comfortable but we did have an issue with ants. They were everywhere. We didn't notify cleaning because we didn't want ant spray in our room. So we used clorox wipes to tackle them and each time they would move to a different spot.

Excellence el Carmen was excellent from the day I arrived until the day I left. Very relaxing and quiet. Some of the best food I have tried in Punta Cana. However the food was not good at the beach side cafe and the breakfast buffet was just ok. My swim out room furniture was a little outdated for a luxury hotel, however the room temperature was nice and cold and the room was clean. Staff was very welcoming and we felt like we were at our home away from home.
