    Excellence Playa Mujeres Nov 2025 Visit

    We just came back from an excellent 5-day stay at Excellence Playa Mujeres. This wasn’t our first time, we’ve visited Excellence resorts five times: three times at Riviera Maya and now twice at Playa Mujeres. What keeps bringing us back is the people. The customer service is truly top-notch. The food was better in the past, but it’s still good. I was a little disappointed that the French restaurant no longer serves seabass, but the dishes are still enjoyable. The Aroma coffee shop could use some renovation, there’s a strange smell when you walk in…possibly mold, since my eyes get itchy, but the little not so pleasant details are not a deal breaker for us. Also, it seems like the sports bar used to have a wider beer selection. We absolutely love the entertainment team. Huge kudos to Monica, Jesus, and Eduardo—they’re always smiling and go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. Arturo & Juan (our omelet guy & server, sorry if I’m misspelling your names!) from The Kitchen restaurant are absolute sweethearts. Big thanks as well to Alfredo, our server, and the chef at the Grill restaurant for making our anniversary night so special and accommodating all our requests. And of course, we can’t forget Alfonso, the best tennis instructor, my husband loves his classes! We’ll definitely be back again, hopefully next year for our 6th visit!

    First Time

    The cleanest resort we have ever stayed at. Great views and pools. Every single member of staff was friendly and helpful. There were a ton of great food options and room service was excellent too. We had some college basketball games we wanted to watch and the sports bar was very accommodating.

    Excellence playa mujeres

    We have been to excellence playa mujeres 6 times and always have an amazing time. The staff is wonderful. We especially enjoy Monica, Jesus and the rest of the activities team. They play a significant role in us wanting to come back. The food is always excellent however we noticed a significant change within the menus. There seemed to be way less meal options and many dishes we’ve loved for years were no longer available which was disappointing. We used to love the French restaurant but the limited menu was a huge bummer. The room renovations with automatic lights were very inconvenient- greatly affected sleep quality. Overall still a wonderful trip, however this year was the first year it did not live up to previous years’ experiences.
