"I booked this resort for adults only for my boyfriends bday and his first time in dominican republic. He enjoyed and loved the resort, it is a beautiful resort. The staff were amazing sweet and all were so humble. I did not book my bf dinner at the restaurant on time bc i did not know how things worked in this resort but the manager from the steak house raudy took care of the plans although it was done same day he asked the chefs at Mangu restaurant to chef something special for us and even brong out a cake and sang him "happy bday" along with all the guest that were having dinner. The parties at the beach and at club pacha was so amazing every night a special event. I def enjoyed my stay!! meet some awesome people at this resort. If you're looking to party with adults only this is def the place. I will miss the sweet employees at Riu def will come back.. "

"I was very nervous booking through Expedia for this trip but it was very helpful to book both the stay and flights in one! The only thing I added on was transport to the airport and I strongly suggest having that booked (we used DAT). Excellence was absolutely amazing. All of the staff are friendly and make sure guests are satisfied and have a drink in their hand! There are so many options of things to do during the day around the pool, at the gym and at night. You truly do not need to leave the resort to have a good time (but they have a lot of excursion options if you wanted to leave that pick you up right at the resort). All of the food was delicious. No stomach issues at all. They provided bottled water all throughout the resort as well. Drinks were amazing - they could really make anything you wanted and they have waiters and waitresses walking around at all times to make sure you don’t need a refill. The resort was spotless, staff cleaning around the clock to ensure that. Room service was amazing with a very vast menu available 24/7! When we wanted our room cleaned they did an amazing job. Also they have a safe in the room for your belongings. This was the best stay I have ever had! "

"I had a wonderful stay at the resort—everything from the rooms to the amenities was fantastic. The property is well-maintained, the food was excellent, and the location is beautiful and relaxing. The only downside was the reception staff. Unfortunately, they came across as unwelcoming and not very helpful during check-in and checkout. A warmer and more professional front desk experience would have made the stay truly perfect. "

"Good and clean beach area. Well taken care shrubs and trees. Alcohol selection at all the bars was pretty good. Good food selection in the Marketplace and Seaside buffet. High quality foods in Stake House and L'Essence, French restaurant. The service is very attentive."

"Food, staff, amenities and activities are great!"

"Excellence. El CARMEN is a great resort in every way. The staff are amazing and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you’re comfortable. The ocean area is gorgeous and beach service is amazing. We had great meals at all the restaurants we went to although we weren’t able to get to the mall in the time we were there. Good experience from the beginning to the end. "
