This is a refreshed travel review from a few years ago.

I think you will agree with me when I tell you parents sometimes need a vacation away from the kids.  As much as we love to travel with our kids, it’s good to get away as a couple too.

A few years ago, we made the mistake of choosing a getaway to a family-friendly resort.

When our son was a little over a year old we went on a little getaway to a nearby resort.  As much as it was excellent to get some couple’s time, families with little kids filled the resort. It was not as relaxing as we had hoped.

Now we know to look for adult only vacations.  Around the United States and internationally, there are several of these adult-only vacation spots.

For our 10 year anniversary, we did some research for all-inclusive adult-only vacations. After some searching and reading Excellence Punta Cana reviews, we decided to give it a try.

We really liked what we read about Excellence Punta Cana all-inclusive, adult-only resort.

Below, you can read my Excellence Punta Review and see lots of pictures and videos from our trip.

We’ve included a lot of Excellence Punta Cana photos.

All-Inclusive Adults Only Excellence Punta Cana Dominican Republic Review

My husband and I just got back from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. To celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary we were looking for a relaxing resort with some activities.

We didn’t want anything to partyish, but at the same time, we didn’t want to be on a remote island. We researched and asked friends for recommendations.

Excellence Punta Cana, part of the Excellence Group Resorts, came up in our searches. It looked like the perfect place for us. This adult-only, all-inclusive beach resort seemed to be the romantic getaway we were looking for.

It is on the beach, activities, pools, and eight different international restaurants. Here is my Excellence Punta Cana Dominican Republic Review of our 10th-anniversary vacation.

Arriving in Punta Cana and getting to the Excellence Resort

Flights to the Dominican Republic can be expensive. Because of this, we used our American Airlines miles and flew for free.

If you want to save some money, then I recommend checking some of the travel sites like Hotwire for the lowest airfares to Punta Cana.

There is no jet bridge at the Punta Cana airport.  Be prepared to walk a lot.  When you get off the plane a shuttle takes you to the customs area of the airport.

Holy controlled chaos at the Punta Cana airport. Btw we stayed in Bayahibe, which is an hour away. Highly recommend as it is calmer and on the gorg Caribbean coast side pic.twitter.com/kXIuTTFWfi

First, you stand in line to pay the $10 per person entrance fee and then you wait in another line for customs.

In total, we waited for about 1.5 hours.  It wasn’t too bad.  They had a mariachi-like band there for entertainment.

After you get through customs you pick up your checked luggage and wait in line again to go through the scanner.  When security saw our American passports, they ushered us aside and didn’t make us go through the scanner.

Get ready for the taxi drivers to swarm you.  We already had a ride set up through the hotel and our driver was there holding up a sign with our name.  It was pretty simple to find him.

It’s about an hour drive to get to the hotel.  We were the only passengers in the taxi.  The round-trip cost for the taxi service through the hotel was $140.

We’ve turned our best tips into quick-read books, and we’re publishing new ones every week. See the full collection here: amazon.com/author/chachingqueen.

After telling the guard who we were, our driver dropped us off at the front of the hotel lobby.  We were greeted with champagne and a cold washcloth.  Check-in was fast and we were escort
