I had the best time at the Excellence Riviera Cancun resort. It was my 1st time in Mexico and staying with Excellence. The resort was clean and all employees were friendly. We stayed in building 2 - my room was a bit humid and did switch rooms once while there. 2 days in I didn't even care - I had so much fun. My massage was fab and loved the aqua part. I want to go back soon. I'm thinking of trying Punta Cana in late October. Bring lots of aspirin/advil tylenol......the hotel only sells dissolvable aspirin. The dinners so much better than breakfast and dinners in my opinion. The drinks did keep flowing.
