MIAMI — The Excellence Collection has announced a US$50 million investment to upgrade all of its eight all-inclusive properties in Cancun, the Riviera Maya, Punta Cana and Montego Bay.

Following the success and growing demand for its ultra-luxe Beach Villas with a Private Pool category, the company has plans to build 12 additional units at Excellence Oyster Bay in Jamaica, nearly tripling its current offering to a total of 17 villas once completed. The new villas, like the original five at the resort, will measure over 1,500 square feet and feature a garden with a Jacuzzi, a shaded porch, an outdoor lounge area with a pool and a private stretch of beach.

The rest of the funds will be allocated to some of the resorts’ most popular common areas. Among the changes will be new sports facilities, enhanced dining venues and bars and restructure spaces. Additionally, some of the furnishings in restaurants, suites, lobbies and beach areas will be upgraded to match the improvements made at the properties. Better mobility and connectivity will also be considered.

“Since the inception of our first resort in Punta Cana over two decades ago, we strived for a standard in hospitality that we have no achieved and wish to continue for years to come,” said Domingo Aznar, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for The Excellence Collection. “It’s our goal to improve the experiences we can offer our guests. We want those who choose to stay with us, to return and not settle for anything less than Infinite Excellence in every single visit.”
