Excellence Punta Cana

"Jetsetter seclusion with top amenities like a swim-up bar and a spa with hydrotherapy tubs, offering meals, beverages, and activities."

"Located on a secluded golden-sand shoreline, Excellence Punta Cana is ideal for a tranquil escape. The resort offers lagoon-style pools, a variety of complimentary activities, and several bars and restaurants. Guests can enjoy well-appointed suites with jetted whirlpool bathtubs and private balconies or patios. The Mille Spa features a hydrotherapy circuit and tranquil gardens." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"It doesn't get much closer to the beach than this. Walk down the steps of this thatched hut (with all the modern amenities you need, Wi-Fi and air conditioning included) onto the white sand beach in the Dominican Republic's Uvero Alto neighborhood, about 40 minutes from Punta Cana. Reviewers note you can hear the waves crashing outside the balcony window, and raved about the Superhost, Jose. He stocks the fridge with plenty of food and offers a generous number of towels to use for bathing and the beach. Inside, there is a king-size bed, a living area, and a small but fully equipped kitchen." - Alex Erdekian,Jamie Spain

"It's hard to pick a favorite feature or amenity at this five-star Caribbean resort that offers guests so many of them.

Accommodations vary from garden-view suites to sprawling oceanfront terrace suites with private pools. The resort is located on a remote stretch of sand in Punta Cana, close to a protected natural reserve, so guests of Excellence can soak up the sun in tranquility." - Travel + Leisure Editors
