The room wasn't ready which was perfectly normal since it was 12:30 so they send you to wait at the oh so beautiful, yummy excellence service Martini bar. Go to the check in counter had the best service ever so ever helpful and smiling. It was a great way to start the day I've been to many resorts and this wasn't my fist time in Mexico and what to say except WOW! They treat you as if you were royalty from the minute you step of the taxi with a fresh towel for your hand. I was able to introduce people to Piloxing® an amazing combination of boxing, standing Pilates and dance, Participants loved it, even the men that had were forced to do it by their wife. This place is exceptional, First let me thank Tik tok fitness vacation exchange for sending me to this amazing resort and for the Excellence to have me teach two classes that I adore. If you want to do sight-seeing, go to Riviera Cancun, as it will be closer to more attractions. Our opinion is that you can't go wrong at either location, if you are looking for a nice, relaxing vacation. 8- We stayed at the Excellence Club once, but felt it wasn't needed, nor of value to us. I don't know how that might affect hanging out on the beach. 7- We were at Playa Mujeres before Finest opened. The people we spoke to seemed to prefer Riviera Cancun, although that's where we were when we were talking to them. 6- We found that while sitting, and talking to people at the Martini Bar, there were many people who had been return visitors to Excellence resorts numerous times. 5- The personnel at both locations are always friendly, and it makes a big difference that they always smile, and say hello when you pass them. 4- We did find that getting a drink while sitting on the beach was better service while we were at Playa Mujeres. Both locations have a nice, long beach to walk on - at least 1-2 miles, if you like to walk on a beach. 3- If you like to go into the sea, then Riviera Cancun has nicer, bluer water, and less seaweed to stand on when you are in the water. The food otherwise at both locations was always good, fresh, with a large variety of foods for almost anyone's taste.

2- We found the buffet at Barcelona, for breakfast, and for lunch was more extensive at Playa Mujeres, but also was utilized by more people. Both facilities are near mirror images of each other - just a few differences: 1- Aroma, the coffee shop at Riviera Cancun was a very nice touch. We have had a wonderful experience at both locations. We've been to Excellence Playa Mujeres 4 times, and now we have just returned from our first trip to Excellence Riviera Cancun. Both locations have a nice, long beach to walk on - at least 1-2 miles, if you like to walk on a beach.Ĥ- We did find that getting a drink while sitting on the beach was better service while we were at Playa Mujeres.ĥ- The personnel at both locations are always friendly, and it makes a big difference that they always smile, and say hello when you pass them.Ħ- We found that while sitting, and talking to people at the Martini Bar, there were many people who had been return visitors to Excellence resorts numerous times.
