Love love love Excellence Resort in Jamaica. The resort is beautiful, the staff wonderful and attentive, many options for restaurants and the entertainers are so talented. Addick was our server at The Lobster House and Bryan is the Service Manager - both are excellent and customer service oriented. Highly recommend massages at Mille with Theresa and Audrey. And of course try the Hydrotherapy at the spa! Amazing! Tevin was our server at Magna. He is amazing!
