If there's any drawback to the experience of staying at Excellence Punta Cana or Excellence El Carmen, it's that kids aren't allowed at either resort. "That's not a drawback," many travelers might be quick to point out, but when parents are spoiled by the adults-only extravagance of these sister properties in the Dominican Republic, we can't help but feel a little bad that our younger travelers back home are stuck with their grandparents and not playing on the spectacular golden beaches.

Well, good news—the kids can now have a taste of Excellence, too.

The Excellence Collection recently opened the doors to Finest Punta Cana, and not only is this resort the first Finest Resorts property in the popular vacation city, but it's also the brand's first all-ages all-inclusive offering. And best of all, it shares the same beautiful beach as its aforementioned sister properties.

Guests familiar with the palatial awesomeness of these Dominican properties won't be surprised that Finest Punta Cana matches, if not exceeds, the other resorts in elements like style, amenities, and, perhaps most importantly, spacing. With 455 suites, there's an undeniable "thought of everything" vibe here, from the two-story rooftop terrace suites (for people in search of a home away from home) to the family suites that offer separate bedrooms for the kids, since we all know their sleep schedules can be drastically different.

Don't let the all-ages aspect fool you—there's still romance to be found here, too. Loyal Excellence guests will be drawn to the familiar swim-up suites, while couples who simply want to enjoy the thrills and frills of a new property can check into one of the majestic honeymoon suites for the romantic vacation of a lifetime.

In all, there are three categories of suites. The Finest Suites offer all the best amenities the Excellence Collection is known for, while the Finest Club was developed with families in mind, as it offers members-only lounges, a beach area, pools, and even dining options. And, of course, the Excellence Club takes everything to the next level, with its own lounges, pools, and restaurants in a secluded, adults-only section of the resort.

As for the amenities, the Excellence brand never cuts corners. On an island known for taking the all-inclusive concept to the next level, this company more than lives up to its name, as the on-site dining provides variety and high quality. This new resort boasts the same devotion to international inclusiveness as its sister properties, with French, Korean, and Japanese restaurants, among others, ready to spoil guests.

From destination weddings and milestone anniversaries to birthdays and family celebrations, Finest Punta Cana aspires to think of everything for guests of all ages. Now, the only drawback is having to choose between three mind-blowing resorts.
