There are no limits when it comes to welcome new adventures and stories.

3. Festivities: Local activities and parties involve a bunch of amazing and colorful traditions, make sure you get to know the country by its flavors and people! For example, in Mexico &ldquo;D&iacute;a De Muertos&rdquo; has become THE cultural celebration with a vast of stories about honoring the loved and missing dead ones

5 Things You Need to Know For Your Perfect Getaway

Let’s be honest. Sometimes you want to drop the microphone and walk to the best-secluded location with your loved one, and relax… RELAX!

Why Jamaica? Well. Maybe because we just can&rsquo;t stop thinking about the naturally graced location that this Caribbean island has. It&rsquo;s tropical weather and refreshing winds that set the perfect climate for the ideal getaway.

Knowing the variety of pleasant climate in this part of the world, in Jamaica, you are sure to find superb scenery comprised of majestic mountains, verdant hills, crystalline waters, and a fine coastline of outstanding beaches edging the turquoise sea, like the famous waters of Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, and Falmouth.
 Located in a natural and effortlessly secluded peninsula, the upcoming Luxury first Adults-Only resort of its kind in Jamaica features a tranquil and private beach with spectacular views from the calm turquoise waters and mangrove lagoons surrounding. The one and only lagoon of Glistening Waters.
 Like a touch of magic, these Glistening Waters have been attracting tourists from all over the world to admire the water literally glowing in the dark. A &ldquo;very cool&rdquo; effect created through bioluminescence. Fortunately, this magnificent phosphorescence occurs throughout the year so it&rsquo;s a must-see during your visit to Jamaica.

What about the beach?
 <a href="https://www.excellenceresorts.com/resorts/excellence-oyster-bay/">&nbsp;Excellence Oyster Bay</a> is bordered by the crystal blue waters over a long stretch of powdered sand beach, like the soft wide ones that make Negril famous, and the aforementioned Glistening Waters on the other side. You&rsquo;ll love seeing the skyline changing with the color shades of the sunset. Pure paradise!
 Once called Xaymaca, &ldquo;the land of wood and water&rdquo;, the country has experienced a colonial history with Spanish, French and English remnants that reflect on the legacy that its habitants embrace through the Jamaican food culture.
 Eating the traditional food of Jamaica is a must when you are here! Make sure you taste the very representative &ldquo;Jerk Chicken&rdquo;, chicken pieces marinated and blended in hot spices cooked on smoked wooden; the Curry Goat, Rice and Peas, Bammy, Dumplings, Ackee and saltfish, Jamaican Patties, just to name a few.
 Its idyllic location in the Montego Bay area will make you fall in love you with impressive panoramic oceanfront views, the exclusive 5&nbsp;<a href="https://www.excellenceresorts.com/resorts/excellence-oyster-bay/suites/beach-villa-with-private-pool/">Beach Villas</a> with Private Pool, eleven restaurants and eleven bars on-site, plus the signature Excellence service that distinguishes us.

A Glimpse into Our #ExcellenceHeroes Winners

In April 2020, we at The Excellence Collection reached out to our community of guests via email and social media. We asked them to help us give away 50 free vacations to professionals among them who have been working on the frontlines during the Covid-19 situation this year… our very own #ExcellenceHeroes


We feel that certifications such as the Safe Travels stamp are crucial during these unusual times, in order to give guests like you a full vacation experience with complete peace of mind at our properties in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica.
The WTTC is a leading global forum for the travel and tourism industry that is committed to achieve traveler confidence and ensure safety. It recently launched its Safe Travels protocols with safety and health measures that follow the guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The core protocols require health, sanitation, disinfection, distancing, and safety protocols throughout every area of each resort property.

Even since before Covid-19, Excellence Resorts has been closely partnered with Preverisk Group. This expert agency provides consulting, auditing, and training in the most exacting health standards throughout all hotel departments. Our Health &amp; Safety Committee, led by the renowned Dr. Sebastian Crespi, has also created new Health &amp; Safety Protocols to lead our resorts in the coming months. Their fluid design will allow them to evolve along with the Covid-19 situation while still providing guests with a full vacation experience. <a href="https://www.theexcellencecollection.com/coronavirus-travel-information/post-covid-health-and-safety-protocols/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You can click here for an advance look at our new Health &amp; Safety Protocols.</a>&nbsp; 
We are proud of the wonderful job done by our own health and safety experts and our properties to receive the WTTC&rsquo;s Safe Travels stamp. At Excellence Resorts, we greatly look forward to welcoming our guests to a vacation where they can fully relax with true peace of mind.

Excellence Resorts receives the Safe Travels stamp from the WTTC

The health and safety of our dear guests is among our top priorities at Excellence Resorts. Therefore, our Health & Safety Committee can proudly announce that our properties have been awarded the Safe Travels stamp by the WTTC. 


Over the past few months, our #ExcellenceHeroes have done a wonderful job keeping people safe since the beginning of Covid-19. In gratitude for their amazing effort and personal sacrifice, The Excellence Collection celebrates their hard work by rewarding 50 winners with the vacation they deserve, including four complimentary nights at any of our properties, in addition to other wonderful amenities like Excellence Club access and a spa treatment.
With an average schedule of 30 hours per week before everything started, Nathalia had to make a selfless decision to contribute to her community. Since the Covid-19 situation began, Nathalia committed to working longer hours a week, some days on 12-hour shifts. Her worries and concerns arose as she knew she was in close contact, like so many other frontline workers.

During this time, Nathalia was faced with difficult situations, including worrying about her patients and family, in addition to the challenges of not having enough beds and medical resources in their hospital to take care of all patients in need.
Nathalia's spring 2020 reservation with us was cancelled due to the latest world conditions, and when she first heard of our #ExcellenceHeroes program, she knew that she needed some relaxation to relive the Bespoke Service she already knew from past visits to Excellence Playa Mujeres and Excellence Oyster Bay, especially to help her recover her peace and mental health.

"(Just) spending a few days with The Excellence Collection taking care of me, without worries, relaxing, listening to the sound of the sea or the music bands playing some songs in the afternoon, having some special drinks with my husband..."

She also shared how much she misses visiting our resorts to escape, recover, and unwind once the world returns to a calmer state of being.
&ldquo;My favorite thing is how The Excellence Collection takes care of us, in the smallest details ... a letter when you arrive, some gifts, chocolate at night... all the staff are polite, affectionate and careful. You feel relaxed every moment during your stay.&rdquo;

While we await Nathalia&rsquo;s next vacation with us, we thank all of the nominees for giving us a glimpse into your lives and your work, and for giving us the opportunity to give back to you in our own small way.
