Top Hotels Near Macao Beach in Punta Cana from NZ$56

"The pool was wonderful, clean always and very comfortable!."

"Smell the towels . Pool & Room towels sometimes smell REALLY BAD. Staff finally told me that Dirty water is frequently used for washing machines . The other RIU resorts in area seem to be of higher quality . Our room had a non functioning AC unit. Bell hop told us to dial 9 to have it fixed . Well ….the phone didn’t work either . TV & Coffee machine too . We switched rooms and things were fine."

"We had a wonderful vacation at Excellence El Carmen. The property is well maintained and the rooms quite spacious. There are numerous restaurants to choose from and the food was delicious. The one exception was the buffet which was a bit sub- par but we only visited that restaurant once. The pools are refreshing and the beach area maintained well. But the biggest highlight was the treatment we received from all the staff. They made our trip memorable. "

"This place is beautiful with easy access to beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It is a family friendly place with activities for all ages of kids. The place is very clean. The rooms are beautiful big clean and neat. I was on the third floor with an ocean view. I had a great time. It was a very nice place with lots to eat and do"

"Excellent hotel! Very new! Beautiful beach! "

"Great family resort. "

"resort was wonderful. Staff was great. My room was clean the workers very efficient. Only thing I would say the buffet just needs help, but the restaurants are very good "

"The resort itself was beautiful. The rooms were somewhat dated, and the bathroom shower had no hot water so I couldn’t wash my hair during the duration of my stay because I’d only get about a minute to two of lukewarm water to be able to rinse off before dinner each night. The staff was generally kind, though there was an expectation for tips (gentleman bringing my bags to my room, stood at the door and did not leave until I took out money - unfortunately for me, the smallest bill I had was a $20). The hotel worker running the towel hut asked if I had a husband and told me that I needed a Dominican baby in me and that he wanted to come back to Canada with me. I tried to politely laugh it off and walk away. Unfortunately, this was a daily conversation any time I had to change my towel (I travelled alone so couldn’t send someone else to do the towel exchange for me). The hotel does not provide shuttle service or transportation to/from the airport. The taxi I took claimed he would offer to drive me to the hotel from the airport for $50, pulled up to a gas station and told me I could tap my credit card, and when I did, I realize he charged me $75. Again, I was alone and it was nighttime and didn’t want to cause a fuss and jeopardize my safety. The pool and beach are great, the resort is a perfect size in my opinion, ten buildings with only two floors in each. Not too large. Plenty of restaurant and food options. The watersides on site are a fun added bonus."

"The staff was top notch. Always smiling always accommodating. I would definitely stay here again. "
