Excellent
My first time at an adult only, all inclusive resort. I loved it and would go again. The service, staff and accommodations were top notch. Especially the staff who were so friendly and attentive. We booked a couples massage in the spa. It was incredible. I’ve never experienced such luxury.

We’ve been going to this resort for eight years and it looks like they have cut back on a few things. The Spa was redone, but they didn’t allow you to use all the facilities to do your water treatment. New Year’s Eve was cut back tremendously. We were very disappointed. The food was good, Service was pretty good. I think they were short on help.

Gone downhill
We were returning to the hotel (this was our third time there). It was as we remember except the food seems to have gone downhill quite a bit. And it was hard to get any non well liquor (I mostly drink tanqueray and they kept selling out I was told). Also the pool bar staff really don’t like making the more complicated drinks — beers no problem.

First time in Cancun and first time at this property. I understand why many folks seem to come back for more. Our stay was magical! The food and drinks were delicious. All of the staff was super nice and accommodating. I would say this should be your choice if you're looking to enjoy a nice and quiet vacation. It's a little far from the "town" so cab prices are high if you plan on doing some exploration outside of the resort. We only left once during our stay to visit Isla Mujeres, and although it was beautiful, it was very busy. Truly made me appreciate the location and resort so much more for its peace and calmness.

Disappointing
I went tô Excellence Riviera Cancún Douro years ago was perfect, because of it i go tô another Excellence Hotel. Was disappointing. I take the Excellence Club, and do not value the money, the Club smelled bad and there was nothing tô eat with the drinks. Most of the restaurants have a common food. In fact the hotel is much expensive for the things it gives.
Exception tô Heidi, that make the beach service and Vilma the manager of foods and drinks

Overall it was amazing experience, however the elevator in building 7 was out of service too often which caused an inconvenience and the Wi-Fi was very weak. The 7 restaurants gave a variety of Yummy food. Will visit again.

I enjoyed the entertainment especially Mex night. The pool was very nice to relax by. My drinks were a bit watered down. I really wish there was more authentic mexican food available. Also more headphones for silent disco. Also more shopping and affordable souvenirs as the gift shop was a bit pricey. Fernanda at Lobster house was wonderful and so was Fabian who conducted water aerobics.

It was disappointing at check in. We paid for an ocean front suite with rooftop pool. At check in we received an ocean view room. After 2 days they had the correct room for us. There was quite a different price difference but we have not be reimbursed! It is Lao a hassle to have to change rooms and wait for one to be ready to go into.
Again, I feel we need money/ credit back on the building and room change.

I liked the cleanliness of the property. I didn't like the lack of entertainment, the food was luke warm, at best, at most of the restaurants. I prefer my meals to be served hot when they arrive at my table.
