"My stay at Excellence Coral Playa Mujeres was magical indeed. The beach felt private and the resort location was fantastic (approx. 40 minutes from Cancun airport).
small hiccups:
-My first room was a pool view jr suite, and I encountered 3 small cobweb spiders near the headboard. The following day, the front desk moved me to a Rooftop terrace with private pool jr suite that I thoroughly enjoyed.
-Spices Restaurant- the food was underwhelming and I had an uncomfortable exchange with the host. I didn't have a collared shirt on but was wearing pants and a generally upscale/expensive outfit. A big "to-do" was made about the dress code despite the restaurant being almost entirely empty. That said, a manager quickly came over to grant access and apologized.
Food:
- The Kitchen table- breakfast buffet was incredible- Fidel is amongst the best waitstaff I've ever encountered, and he rocks.
- Tipicio- street tacos were *insanely* good and Agave was above-average.
- Oregano- was reasonably good for an AI resort
- The Sports bar & grill - Yareli, Antonio, and Eduardo made my stay magical. They genuinely provide personalized and exceptional 5-star level service. Antonio also makes a mean sweet tea, and serves up a great burger with loaded fries
-Chocolate bar- Heck yes, this is as great as it sounds
-Lobster house- Great lunch and well rounded food - Erick was exceptional
Room: the rooms are clean, modern, and 5-star with comfy bedding and gorgeous bathrooms. A+"
