Frommer's "The Excellence is a nicely isolated property hemmed by palm trees, a series of small, interconnected three-story hotel blocks fronted by lawns and the small, shared pools of the swim-out suites" Full review
Fodor's "This adults-only, all-inclusive is particularly appealing to couples (honeymooners, for sure) and wedding parties, and attracts a younger, fun clientele. Basic rooms at the all-suite..." Full review

Both of the Paradisus hotels are desirable addresses, but frankly, if forced to choose, we'd opt for the Paradisus Palma Real.
Fodor's "This luxury all-inclusive is a visual showstopper especially its central plaza by night, which sparkles under dramatic lighting." Full review

You won't need to upgrade, but if you choose the adults-only Royal Service, you'll get to experience the smashing new contemporary Royal Club lounge and restaurant.
Rough Guide "The top Bávaro resort – slightly more expensive but well worth it, with opulent contemporary architecture, sculpted tropical gardens, luxury suites... and access to the Cocotal golf course."
Star Service "This palatial all-inclusive stands out among the deluxe options in Punta Cana, not least for its gracious, Moorish-inspired contemporary architecture." Full review
Gayot "This resort combines a Caribbean setting with modern amenities including in-suite spa treatments, fitness programs and flexible meeting spaces with state-of-the-art equipment."
Jetsetter "All-suite megaresort with 15 bars, 15 restaurants and a 8,600-square-foot spa and wellness sanctuary." Full review
