re: Excellence Playa Mujeres Recommendations

We had our honeymoon there last fall. Off the top of my head here some random things I remember.

Chez Isabel was the best resteraunt. I would recommend eating there more than once vs going to try them all. Next would be Spice then Agave in my opinion. The rest were all just ok but then again it could have been what I ordered.

The breakfast buffet is the shite! So many different foods and juices. Really the perfect way to get over a hangover. Room service breakfast was also excellent.

Definitely hit up the juice bar for a coconut which you can take to another bar and have rum put in.

Don’t waste your time on the tequila tasting - the excellence club bar has all the different kinds already and they will pour them all for you even the mescal with the worm in it.

Have the Excellence club bartender make you a Carajillo. It’s a liqour drink with expresso and will perk you back up after a long day of boozing on the beach.

If you tip a buck here and there - especially on the beach - you will get markedly better service.


Order an Iceburg drink. It’s half beer and margarita and is excellent.

The free hydration therapy thing at the spa is kinda lame and takes an hour but the messages they do are legit. You can negotiate as well on their services and the prices change daily based on demand it seems. It went way down in price mid week.
