Jaclyn and Jimmy's review of Excellence Playa Mujeres

Jaclyn and Jimmy got married in one of the worst blizzards that Philadelphia has seen and left for their honeymoon 2 days later. Here is their review.

"Our trip to Excellence Playa Mujeres was beyond anything we could have imagined. I have never been out of the United States, so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect with a beautiful resort.

Upon arrival, bags were taken, checked, and brought to our room. The concierge checked us in, and as we were giving information, champagne was brought over to us to enjoy. Checking in was so easy and fast, and we were soon on our way to our beautiful honeymoon suite.

One of the tour guides took us looking around the resort on our way to our room. He explained the restaurants, the pools, the bars, night life, everything that you could want to know. They also supplied us with a booklet that listed everything out, as well as it's location on the resort.

Entering our room was like entering paradise. The balcony over looked the ocean. The huge master King bed also showed the ocean. There were beautiful towel folded swans kissing with a rose in the middle, and rose petals all along the bed. The jacuzzi was indoors, but allowed you to open the windows to make it outdoors, and become a part of the beautiful balcony.

The balcony had a table with chairs and a beautiful bed to lay on so we could look out at the beach. We spent many nights on the balcony looking up at all of the stars, listening to the waves crashing in against the sand.

Our bathroom was like a spa. The huge sinks overlooked these two beautiful sun mirrors. There was also a huge two person shower, with many shower heads, that were so wonderful to use.

There was also a living room area, which had a bottle of champagne chilling, along with two champagne glasses. There was also plenty beer, water, soda's, and other drinks in the free mini bar, that was stocked daily. On the table there was a booklet that gave us our 24 hour inclusive room service menu. We surely didn't have to leave our room at all while we were there if we didn't want to.

Through the course of the week we learned the resort. We at at all 8 fantastic restaurants. Spice - the Asian restaurant, was by far my very favorite. Others that were very high on my list were Chez Isabelle - the French restaurant, and Barcelona - the Mediterranean restaurant. All 8 were fantastic though, and you really couldn't go wrong with any of them. The presentation of the food was just beautiful, and I always loved seeing how each restaurant folded their towel into a different animal. They were all so beautiful. All of the food was 5 star, and every last bite was more delicious then the one before it.

During the day there were many activities you could chose from. Some of our favorites included the beautiful bike tour around the resort, which also showed you the exotic animals there. We also really enjoyed riffle shooting. It was a neat activity we didn't usually do at home. If you are interested in sports, they had a ton of those as well! From poker tournaments, to water volleyball, to boccie ball, they really had it all.

At night they had shows that they put on. Circus night was my favorite. It was a take on Cirque Du Soliel, which I love. The people were so very talented. I was blown away at how fantastic they all were. There was a show going on every night, and all were very entertaining.

The resort also did theme nights outside. I was there for valentines day, so they put up a huge buffet dinner, and had a saxophone player going and playing around the beautiful tables with roses and rose petals.

By the 3rd night we noticed the cigar shop, and my husband just HAD to get a few Cubans to smoke for the week. The woman was very knowledgeable and we were able to pick out some really nice one's. These were smoked outside near one of the best bars there, Cafe Kafe. This was the main bar for the night time, and the bar tenders were so friendly.

By day 9, we were both really upset to be leaving our favorite resort. Between the beautiful warm beach, the 8 beautiful pools, the 10 bars, the servers walking around to every pool and the beach taking any order you could possibly want, and the amazing 5 star food, it was really difficult to leave and come home.

With 3 resorts to chose from, and a 4th being built right now, we are sure to go back to an Excellence resort again. "
