Located near Isla Blanca in the far north end of Cancun, Excellence Playa Mujeres is a luxurious all-inclusive resort that is all set to impress its guests with a world-class ambiance, matchless hospitality, and top-notch facilities. Sitting on an isolated stretch of Playa Mujeres (a luxury beach zone on Isla Mujeres), it takes roughly a forty five-minute drive to reach Excellence Playa Mujeres from the Cancun Airport and a 20- to 30-minute drive from downtown Cancun. From the Cancun Convention Center and the Hotel Zone, the Excellence Playa Mujeres is about an hour away. You can also enjoy a ferry ride - Ultramar - to Isla Mujeres.
Climate
Playa Mujeres welcomes its guests with a tropical climate accentuated with high temperatures throughout the year. Even during the wetter months, there are high chances of finding perfect sunny days. Rainfall usually comes in the form of heavy showers, which tend to clear in a short time. If you ask what would be the most appropriate time to visit Playa Mujeres for a luxurious getaway at the Excellence Playa Mujeres, we would suggest between December and March. That will be a good time frame as the weather happens to be most settled then.
What is the scene like at the Excellence Playa Mujeres all-inclusive resort?
Excellence Playa Mujeres has set the stage to treat its guests with all-inclusive amenities that they fancy and dream about right from the moment they step into the resort. No matter how tired you reach your destination, a sudden feeling of being an explorer of an earlier era will overpower you by the warm welcome by staff members wearing pith helmets, presenting guests cold water and hot towels.
You will then be escorted to the Egyptian-themed lobby, where you will be dazzled with ancient-looking artifacts and statues, tan marbled flooring, a huge chess set, and décor accentuated with wood paneling and touches of green. The lobby is connected to a cavernous multi-story atrium topped with a stained-glass ceiling and a dramatic staircase as its centerpiece.
The main building of the resort houses different bars and restaurants (you need to follow a dress code to enter certain ones), most of which are connected to the main staircase through their interior balconies. At the lowest level, you will find a martini bar from where there is an entrance to the suites, rooms, main grounds, swimming pools, and the iconic white sandy stretch.
Finest Playa Mujeres, La Amada Residencies, and Beloved Playa Majeures are neighbors of Excellence Playa Mujeres. They are all-inclusive resorts, all sharing a private resort complex and making use of the inland marina housing 170 slips. Now, most of the crowd at the resort will be the U.S or Canada-based couples spanning multiple age groups. As the stay at Excellence Playa Mujeres comes with a rather fancy and heavy price tag (and the location is secluded but far away from the touristy Hotel Zone), party-oriented visitors don't prefer to stay here.
Again, it gets kind of difficult to explore off-site attractions, which some guests mind - but don't get upset about that as you will still be able to make the most of your visit by taking advantage of a variety of resort features. Undoubtedly, eating, lounging, and drinking is a must, but here we want to mention a gazillion land and water activities that guests can partake in at the resort including scuba lessons, paddle boarding, windsurfing, snorkeling, kayaking, yoga, Spanish classes, and water polo. To add more, we must also mention ping-pong tables, pool tables, a library, spa, meeting spaces, and firelit night events.
Who will ever want to leave the resort premises when you are surrounded by such engaging amenities? It is because of all these attractions that Excellence Playa Mujeres has managed to seek a position as Cancun's top luxury resort.
How are the rooms at the resort?
Excellence Playa Mujeres houses huge 450 rooms, starting with Junior Suites spread over 807-square-feet. Every room in the resort has been accentuated with patios (for the rooms on the ground floor) and furnished balconies. Two-story suites boast rooftop terraces finished with plunge pools and showers. Many of the rooms flaunt the captivating views out over the pools or spas whereas the iconic ocean views have been saved for the Two-Story Rooftop Terrace Suites or Excellence Club Junior Suite Ocean Front or Imperial Suite or Honeymoon Suite. As per the resort manager, Excellence Playa Mujeres swim-up suites are quite popular amongst the guests.
The room décor has been planned with wooden furniture (including a four-poster giant-sized bed), marble tiled floors, and cream-colored walls. The whole décor radiates sophisticated, airy, and fresh vibes. If you seek out tech amenities then there will be a flat-screen LCD and iPod docking station.
To make guests feel at home and relax after a tiring journey, hosts like to play calming music and burn incense in the room and provide bathrobes and slippers. The center of attention in the rooms happens to be the large whirlpool tubs as they have been positioned in the living spaces by the side of the glass doors leading to the balcony.
The best attraction in the rooms will be the fully stocked mini-fridges and snack stations, coffee and tea making facilities, and high-end liquor cabinets for in-room dining and drinking (backed up by 24-hour room service). There are some extras too that cost additional, but if they fall in your budget, you can also get Nespresso machines, Bulgari toiletries, and premium minibars.
In the bathroom you will find separate water closets, two-person rainfall showers, double vanities with luxury toiletries, hairdryers, and scales.
To keep the guests' privacy intact and keep the smell of food from permeating the rooms before guests are ready to eat, closed-off and insulated cubbies have been installed to the side of the entryways from where the room service can be collected from the staff.
What to expect from the beach surrounding Excellence Playa Mujeres?
If you dream of sauntering around calm and clear blue waters and relaxing on loungers at a tranquil white-sandy beach stretch, you are at the right place.
This is a dream beach resort featuring massage areas, sun loungers, a beach snack grill, daybeds, and palapas. No large waves interrupt the tranquil vibes that you feel once you step on the beach. Also, you will witness quite less seaweed as compared to other beaches all thanks to the currents around Isla Mujeres.
However, you might spot some seaweed accumulation alongside the shore. Some visitors have pointed out that the beach itself is not so large or some claim that the sand is not as powdery as compared to the other stretches, but there is one thing for sure - the beach is lovely. You will love spending time there.
