great review Angie Lusk we are visiting here this coming Tuesday for 1 week and can't wait.It just looks great.I think we will be making good use of that coffee bar with all them lush cakes and ice cream !
Hola +Angela Lusk My wife and I were at the Valentin Imperial Maya last October for our anniversary and according to our concierge at the time had the best room/view in the resort, Imperial suite privilege with in room Jacuzzi and rectangular shaped large terrace with ocean and pool view, with Jacuzzi on the terrace. Privilege reserves a cabana on the beach with personalized first/family name on the cabana. We really loved/enjoyed the friendliness and hospitality of the Valentin and being close to Playa, but how does this resort compare as I can see from your excellent review and videography, the resorts are both 5 star and similar in amenities. I assume club is likened to privilege at the Excellence? Muchas Gracias
Thank you for the in depth review and tour of the resort, Angie! I do have a question. I'm planning a 30th birthday getaway with about 20 friends and am going back and forth between Excellence Playa Mujeres and Secrets Maroma. Do you have a suggestion on which resort would be best for a group? Also, in your opinion, which beach is better. Thank you so much again. Really enjoyed the video. :)
Hey Angie, just wondering why you preferred the Secrets Maroma over the Excellence playa mujeres? And would you ever think of travelling to a "family" resort just with a partner because of more things to do? or is there enough activities at couples or adult only resorts
Absolutely. If nightlife is really important, family resorts tend to have more lively night life than most adults only resorts. Family resorts with adults only sections or adults only resorts with exchange privileges to a next door family resort are great options for that too. I had a really hard time getting chairs by the pool at Excellence Playa Mujeres. The pool felt really crowded. I felt like Excellence Club was must do there. At Secrets Maroma, the pool area felt more open. There was a lot of activities during the day. Service was great. Preferred Club there is nice for a better room location, but I didn't feel like we had to do it.
Hi great coverage,,,,!! Question about the “Club” can you use the wet area in spa everyday or is it just once with you treatment that’s included with club level thank you
Hi Ellie - I'm happy to provide custom recommendations based on what's important to you if you live in the USA and want to book your trip with me. You can email me at Angie@TripswithAngie.com You can also get my personal favorites list by sharing your email at tripswithangie.mykajabi.com/pl/120312
My wife and I are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary next year and I wants adult only romantic place this place looks like it. are you able to tell me roughly what the cost difference is to be upgraded? Also are the rooms Sound proof lol
I loved your review of the resort, I've been to the Finest by Exellence on the club side and it was amazing. Have you been here over the Christmas period? As I'm.hopung to visit here or the Finest over the festive season We're booked for Secrets in Jamaica. However I can't see it happening so I'm keeping my options open for the resorts I've already been to an loved.
Hi Hannah - Thanks for watching. I haven't been to the resort over Christmas. Secrets in Jamaica is great. Hopefully we will all be traveling by the end of the year.
The beach beds did not have sheets when I was there. The beach butler uses towels to set up the bed. I'm sure they have a pressing service for an extra fee.
I don't know is every resort with Excellence in the name is all inclusive. There is an Excellence brand of resorts with locations in Mexico, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic that are all inclusive adults only resorts.
Too funny - watching your video - reliving fun times as we are headed back this month - saw my dang self in your video from 2016 :-) Excellent video, great review, - - - hey - can I get a discount booking through you since i'm a star in your video ? :-) Look for my 1.75 seconds of fame at the buffet in my lime green hibiscus swimming trunks LOL Have a blessed day !
That's fantastic!! 😂😂😂 Absolutely. If you book your next all inclusive resort trip with me, I'll pay for a private airport transfer so you are treated like the movie star you are.
i mean should i wait till the staff has found their bearings. Alot of times with new restaurants and new establishments they staff has not congealed into working as a fine tuned machine leaving huge gaps in service.
we go for first time in May a little disappointing to find you are under pressure to secure beach beds even though you have paid a small fortune for Excellence club privileges ??

I wish the resorts would pay you to be the influencer. You have the absolute best showing of a resort I have seen!
Wow!! Thanks so much! Resorts are very kind to let me tour them and I do sometimes get invited to stay.
This is by far the best and most extensive tour of this resort that i have seen.
kajmylove any water sports or land sports included?
Angie Lusk NP I booked! Be there in June. One more question how is the alcohol? Any higher end brands included? Thansk
Angie Lusk thanks for the tips! :)
The lounging bed is the best. We had the 2nd floor and really never spent anytime in the room. We were allways on the balcony
This should be fabulous after fishing, showering, and a nap. I'm a musician and would like to play a set with the band. Thanks, Zeke
Thanks for watching!
Amazing resort and amazing staff here.
Thanks for watching.
I love this resort. It is awesome.
Heading there in a month, can't wait! Thanks for the in depth tour!
Have a great trip!
How did you like the stay?
This place looks gorgeous! Def on my list next time we go to Mexico!
The beach is great!
I love this resort so much. went a couple years ago and would happily come back for my honeymoon later this year

Great review

Hi Hannah - Thanks for watching. I haven't been to the resort over Christmas. Secrets in Jamaica is great. Hopefully we will all be traveling by the end of the year.
what was the weather like? i would like to go the end of October.
Do those beds on the beach have sheets covering them or cloth of some kind? Does the resort provide a clothes pressing service for dinner clothing?
The beach beds did not have sheets when I was there. The beach butler uses towels to set up the bed. I'm sure they have a pressing service for an extra fee.
Are all excellence resorts all inclusive?
I don't know is every resort with Excellence in the name is all inclusive. There is an Excellence brand of resorts with locations in Mexico, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic that are all inclusive adults only resorts.

@@TripswithAngie will take you up on your offer ! Can you PM me your contact info ?
@@scottyb523 Just email angie@tripswithangie.com
So all of the restaurants and the coffee bar are all inclusive? Meaning free?
We really want to know everything before we book!
Yes. If you aren't confident about booking, I recommend using a travel agent (like me) or calling the resort directly.
Are all the restaurants and bars included in the "all inclusive"?
Yes.
How did you get from airport to the resort?
Private transfer
should i wait till next year for the resort to really settle. I want to go and its not fully functioning like their sister resort in punta cana
i mean should i wait till the staff has found their bearings. Alot of times with new restaurants and new establishments they staff has not congealed into working as a fine tuned machine leaving huge gaps in service.
great. i really was under the impression that it just opened up.
Is this resort LGBTQ friendly?
Guests, I dont care about, I just want excellent service and attention...my honeymoon!
Angie Lusk I definitely will!
How is the weather here in September?
It's hurricane season.
If we are in the two story casita room with the excellence honeymoon package will that allow us to take advantage of the excellence amenities?
Angie Lusk How much more does it cost?
Do you have to pay extra to be in the excellence club to have access to those nicer chairs on the beach?
powerpuff
What were the dates of your stay?
How was the weather? We are looking into going at the beginning of September this year.
are kids allowed?
No. This is an adults only resort.
Buy $100 in wine? Thought it was all inclusive?
It is. Every all inclusive resort I've been to has an upgraded wine list with bottles available for purchase.
@@TripswithAngie Oh! Thank you very much! Any idea about how bad seaweed is in mid-October?
@@Michael11794 It changes every year and every day. Very hard to predict.
@@TripswithAngie are restaurants unlimited too? Lol
@@marcelrodriguez2067 What do you mean by unlimited? I don't know if they'd let you order 15 entrees at one meal. They are included.
we go for first time in May a little disappointing to find you are under pressure to secure beach beds even though you have paid a small fortune for Excellence club privileges ??
Thank you for your reply, Are you referring to the excellence section around pools ?
Nice vid. A youtuber/channel named Roy Smith has stolen a lot of your footage and used it as their own video. Heads up @Angie Lusk
