Excellence El Carmen One of the newest additions to Excellence’s growing regional portfolio is this adults-only outpost in the Uvero Alto area of Punta Cana, about 25 minutes from the airport. It’s an impressive campus, with 23 pools, 12 international restaurants, pool service and beach waiter service, free daily activities, among other amenities. The best part? The 492 rooms, all of which boast either views of the ocean, private plunge pools or swim-up options.
