Hello All! My fiance and I are going to Punta Cana for our honeymoon in October 2009. We are having some difficulties deciding between the Excellence Punta Cana and the Paradisus (sp?) Resort. Can anyone provide and pros/cons of either? We are currently leaning towards excellence; however, I heard that it is quite far away from EVERYTHING. Any idea how far away? Your help is much appreciated!!

Honeymoon help needed
have stayed at the paradisus and it is nice i would recommend it. have not stayed at excellence but i'm sure it is nice too. if you google both places and get a tripadvisor report you can find others opinions or someone more familiar can steer you in the right direction. happy honeymoon, congrats and have fun in the DR!!!
While both are good resorts Excellance is well over an hour north of the airport and quite remote, beach is nice but water is rough with rip tides and coral outcrops, Paradissus would be my choice.
I went to the Moon Palace's website, but could not tell if it is all-inclusive...
All of the links are broken at the website, so trying to get information off of there was like pulling teeth. Any ideas?
Thank You as well for the heads up on this one, it looks really nice!

I am idiot, I found the info on another thread in this forum..
Since my eyes are now open to another resort (Moon Palace), does anyone have any ideas of the superior all inclusive? Since another poster opened my eyes that The Excellence is so remote, I am kinda hesitant to go there. We are basically looking for the nicest Honeymoon spot in Punta Cana.
Thank You all for your help in making this trip truly memorable!

Moon Palace is not opened yet, supposed to be early 2009, almost a year behind schedule, 1800+ rooms, huge resort...hopefully it is as good as other Moon's in Mexico.
Jarnold,
forget about the moon palace.
you will visit october 2008,
til now nothing is open, not near to be finished, yet.
the real opening dte is far from now and for your honeymoon anyways i assume a half finished resort would not be the perfect start in the 'new life'.
the excellence is a top AI adults only resort,
i would assume a week of honeymoon will not need the big bunch of off-resort activities, so just perfect.
the paradisus Palma Real(there is also a paradisus punta cana nearby, different property) would also be a top choice, in my own opinion with the better(calmer) beach.
both are top spots much over the moon palace if open anyways
have fun
and congrats
Mike

I spend my honeymoon at Secrets Excellent now the Secrets Punta cana. I would hightly recomende the area it's remote but really private and the beach it's beautiful the restaurants are all great make sure you get the horse back riding tour and the dinner at the beach (not include) and try to stay at the building with the pool behind it's great.
