Arrival

Excellence cocktails

We touched down in Punta Cana in the late afternoon after a smooth flight from Manchester on Thomas Cook Airlines. We were welcomed by bright colours, traditional Merengue dancers and beautiful music – a real Caribbean ambience. This being my first visit to the Dominican I was extremely excited at the prospect of staying here for two weeks. We collected our luggage and made our way to our private transfer provided by VIP Tours. The VIP representatives were very helpful and escorted us to our transfer straight away. The private transfer was much more comfortable as we were able to travel to our resort directly without the hassle of dropping off other passengers at different hotels.

Resort

The main pool

We arrived at Excellence Punta Cana a mere 40 minutes later and we were greeted by an inviting smile, an ice cold glass of champagne and a cool flannel; which I must say after an 8 an a half hour flight was perfect! We were then taken to our own private check in, in the Excellence Club area of the hotel where we were also given a short tour of the Excellence club facilities. Being a part of the Excellence club allowed us direct access to the executive lounge, which hosted a relaxing environment to enjoy a variety of refreshments throughout the day, as well as unlimited access to the internet and satellite television. continue reading…

Accommodation

During our stay at Excellence Punta Cana, we were accommodated in a Junior Suite, which was extremely spacious, even with two double beds! The rooms had a very traditional Caribbean feel with the dark wood on the roof, and pale wood on the furniture around the room. There was also plenty of storage space around the room with a very good size wardrobe. I would definitely say the rooms was of a 5* standard, especially with the double Jacuzzi which made it feel very luxurious. continue reading…
