return to Excellence El Carmen (long video but you see the whole resort)
Hi, Loved the video. We are planning a vacation to Pineapple Beach Resort in February. Are there a few places to Snorkel right from the Beach? If so, can you recommend how to find the good spots from the Hotel? Thanks
@brucekostecka4047 thx..I forget people can see these videos lol.. as you look at the water go to your right on the beach and wall until you can't walk anymore, go in the water there and it's like an aquarium..we didnt leave the resort the whole time so can't help u there...don't forget to bring something to hang in the outhouse and have some ribs for me
@@zmodica Thanks so much ! I will think of you folks when we are having ribs and walking on the beach. It will be good to get away from New Jersey in February for sure.
@brucekostecka4047 while you're there find our orange llama .. there is a really good Facebook group that I recommend you check out before you travel. Group is very helpful and informative
Which resort did you like better, El Carmen or Oyster Bay?
Well there's more similarities and differences. I'm a bigger fan of the staff at El Carmen because we forgot to know them over the years and it's like seeing old friends. Here's the differences the beach at Oyster Bay is smaller but the ocean is calm and blue. The beach at El Carmen is bigger, you can walk from literally miles, the ocean is rougher because it's the Atlantic . the rooms are very much the same and the restaurants are equally comparable. We liked everything we ate . I could go to either tomorrow and be equally happy..but I'd go El Carmen 1st..better sunrises and I walk a lot
Do you have to do tipping like in cancun in all services? Thanks .
"Have to" no, but we like to tip everyone for everything..the employees are the reason we go there, they treat you so good
Booked for our ten year wedding anniversary. I am looking forward to it!
awesome and congrats
I stayed here in 2022 it was just ok.. The water in the rooms smelled of sewage.. It was a lot of pan handlers on the beach while you tried to rest.. The food was ok, but it was never consistent.. I prefer excellence oyster bay in Jamaica even excellence Punta Cana was better in my opinion..
we alternate between the 2 resorts EOB and EEC and food is subjective, we like what we like. We get to know the vendors early and they know to keep it moving, we're not buying...fortunately, we never smelled sewage..that must have sucked
My husband and I are booked there for our 20th wedding anniversary in May 2025. We booked an Imperial Suite with the private pool. I noticed that I never see anyone in the ocean. Is the water too rough or filled with seaweed? Also, do you have a personal opinion on the location of the Imperial Suites? I see on the map that they are in the corner of the property, beach front, but there are other buildings close by that aren't part of El Carmen and wondering what is right next to them and if there is anything that would be bothersome. We are going there for peace and quiet and lots of naps.
the ocean has waves (its the Atlantic, not Caribbean) but its warm and swimmable especially in front of the imperial suite there seems to be less waves. You are correct, the imperial is at the "end" of the resort but if privacy and quiet is your thing youre going to love your choice..next to your room is a row of trees and then Castaways restaurant and another resort but you wont even notice either, there a big enough gap
Really like the in-depth video and the chemistry you guys have is lovely. We’re from Jersey also, hubby and I, and I think we’re going to settle on this resort for next year. What time of year did you go and did you visit the private massage place on the beach? I heard it was great!
thx for the kind words..we go in March each year..kick start the summer season..we didnt go for the beach massage but Sonya from the spa wanders the beach and gives massages and my wife swears she has magic hands. Sadly Sonya was on vacation when we were there this year..dont "settle" on this resort, its beautiful and a great value compared to other spots nearby..embrace the trip..enjoy and we see you at point pleasant this summer
Liked your video. When you have been there, did you find it too windy to sit on the beach? How was the seaweed situation? Looks like a great place for an anniversary for me and my wife. Thx
Thx...the breeze keeps the temp down so not to windy at all..the seaweed was a little heavy once when we were there, the other 2 times none at all..mother nature does what she wants...we love it there and it's a great anniversary spot
@zmodica thanks for the information. Definitely looks beautiful.
@zmodica another question please. We will probably be doing a club room. Do you have to do reservations for Bali beds at the beach? If so, how do you make them and do they cost extra? Thx
@@tfwbuftoatl12 2 answers..there is a "private cabana" that you can rent daily for 90$..we always spend 1 day there per visit, it cuts you off from everyone but we like that..the other ones are first come first serve daily but if you tip the beach consierge (David, Inez, Andronio etc) they will set if up for you daily and hold it..we give them 20$ and the next day its all ours
@zmodica Thank you sir for the info. Good to know.
Is the Pineapple Beach Club better than Excellence. We have stayed at the Excellence before but the beaches were just ok
sooo. i guess its a matter of preference. PBC had an amazing clear calm ocean but the resort was small and "old" and the food choices although was good, it was limited. I could go to either tomorrow and be very happy but I'd pick EEC 9 times out of ten
@@zmodica Thanks... we like Excellence too.
How’s the beach sand , swimmable ?
Although the beach is somewhat small compared to other places, the ocean is like a swimming pool ...calm and clear
Love the sunset photos What are the printouts you have taped up?
Not mine..the room next to us, the kid was celebrating his birthday and his friend kept taping up pics of him as a little kid..very funny
Hippies eat dinner late? I think you meant Hipsters
I dont what i mean half the time when i run my mouth lol...next time ill yell hipsters
Love your videos! Feels like we’re there!! Great job guys!!
Thanks..we really love that place..just trying to give back
I’m loving your videos. I can see you enjoyed this resort. I have been studying it and trying to decide where to go. You would recommend. How far is it from the airport.
40 mins from the airport...such a great beach and food..the resort is small but i highly recommend it
When did you and Sue get married?
2012
Thanks for sharing me and my husband are going to this resort in June for his birthday
youre gonna love it...find Orville on the excellence beach and he'll do sand art for the birthday boy
Thank you for your video! How was the food? Drinks? Would you return there again?
its our second visit and we booked the third as soon as we got home...food is a subjective conversation..we liked everything we ate (never a bad meal)..i could have that jerk chicken everyday though
Thanks for the video! My husband and I are from Pennsylvania and love Jersey. Our favorite place to visit is Seaside. I’m researching places for my 50th next December and this video really helped! Thanks again!
thx....we just rebooked for next october..its a great resort...and we love Spiceys for lunch while hanging out at seaside
Very beautiful thanks for sharing
thx
We love these longform videos. We were at El Carmen in May and are returning to Oyster Bay in December. Then back to Beloved May 2024. Make a video there next!
Thx...eL carmen in march for us..im hooked
great video guys, we are headed there i early April next year. Good info.
going back in march..love it there
Thank you for sharing - we were also at Oyster Bay and right at the end at the steel drummer show that is the 2 of us right beside you how mad is that !!! - glad you had a great time also !!
2nd time for us...scheming for #3...i always am surprised that someone will watch these but glad you liked it...oh to be back on that beach
Excellent!
Great video is there trolley service or do you have to walk to get around the resort
Thank you, no there is no trolley that I'm aware of. However there's not too much walking to be done to get anywhere you need to be. I would request being in building five so you are centrally located for everything and keeping your walking to a minimum if that's an issue
@@zmodica Thanks for your help we are planning to go in February
@themerrymanderschristmassh9568 we'll be back in march too...perfect resort. Theres a good facebook group "welcome to excellence el carmen" very helpful for pre-travel prep
Awesome video! We’re going in July. Did you guys get the club package? I’m not sure they had that offered when we booked but…I’m sure we can upgrade. But I ask about the club package because of the lounge bed on the beach, or is it first come first serve? Thanks
We always get the excellence club just for the beach access. The bali beds are first come first serve but if u tip David the first day well, he'll hold a bed for u daily as long as u tell him youre coming. There is a private cabana that u rent which is nice too. Its a great resort..enjoy
How deep were the pools?
I would guess 4 feet on the infinity and main pool..we never got around to the 3rd pool
How was the food?
The dinners were very good, the outhouse was my favorite, the lunch and breakfast buffet were just average and repetitive but not horrible
Sounds amazing. Can’t wait to see you guys. Keep us posted.
Soon..that lady can freakin' sing..band is inspiring, so much talent and passion for the material
Hey quick question, was the pickup part of the all inclusive or did you have to pay?
Part of the pakage when we book direct with the resort
Love people watching! Especially waiting to see if those girls could finish their meal! Thanks for catching that 👍🏻
its our favorite vacation pasttime..i forget people other than me can watch these lol...hope i wasnt disrespectful, people are fascinating in the wild
I noticed most of the restaurants don’t have AC. Is it hot in those restaurants?
Its open air so theres a constant ocean breeze..not hot at all
Could tell me if this resort has a lot of stairs..and the resort suitable for seniors. Thanks for sharing
welp, we're almost 60 and had no troubles but we had a beach front room. I suppose the rooms in the back had some walking and were up on a hill, so that would add some steps to your day. The outhouse restaurant is a hike up a hill, but you can get a golf cart ride just by asking the front desk. The guests were mostly our age group too. Its a beautiful resort, i highly recommend it
Nice to see this video. We are heading back for our third visit this month. You and your wife are very cute together. And I like that you "spruce up" for dinners. Cheers.
Thx..great resort, we're booked at other places for 2023 but I'd love to return to PBC in 2024.
Time is in my top 5 favorite songs of all time
Great video! Hubby and I can’t wait to visit in February
Your gonna love it.so beautiful
Hey, I'm booked to go to this resort in august, the resort is supposed to provide transportation did they do that for you guys? also how do you get the cabana, do you have to pay extra for that, and did you guys enjoy your rooftop pool? Thanks.
Excellence club beach has 10 or so cabanas that are free but there is also a private cabana was extra but worth every dollar(80$ for the day with a personal assistant)...rooftop pool was great but we are beach bums so we spent most of our time in the sand. Our transport was arranged by our travel agent. Beautiful resort, you will love it
Burlington..near Florence..right on 130
