These EPM videos were very helpful in deciding in favor of it, versus Atelier. The extra cost at Atelier doesn’t seem worth it to us, compared to a Club swim out here. Thank you!
We have always gone for a swim up suite..it’s so convenient. No packing up items to go to the pool. The upgrades for Excellence club are cool if you like being close to all the action.
Great comment! A swim up is a great option if you don't want to have to worry about finding a chair at the pool. It definitely allows for a more peaceful vacay if sleeping-in is on the agenda. 😊
We are planning to book a Jr Suite, spa or pool view. Which building is best? We prefer a quiet building (ie not right above where the water aerobics classes are playing music, etc)
Just the club ones and only just before Christmas (usually Dec 21 or later that week). To us, the pools are too cold to use from November until March. Club pools are heated just before Christmas but before then they are cold. We were there this past November and no one was using the pools, club or otherwise.
@@newtravelescapes this makes me hesitant to book. I don’t know why the resort won't heat the pools knowing their customers can't use them. I've read enough reviews now of people complaining about it. We are going in January. In your experience is it possible to request a specific building? My concern is upgrading to a club swim up ocean view but being put in a building that faces a non club pool.
@@natalieroy4849 I went last year around the 16th of December. The pool was chilling but I got use to it quickly. We switched back and forth from pool to hot tub
We just got back from Excellence Playa Mujeres and it was absolute perfection. We even had the lowest level room and it was still perfect.

@@zacharystokes Thank you! That would be my choice too. 😊 EPM is a great resort. I hope to get back and make updated videos sometime in 2025.
Thanks for the video. I reserved a ocean front 2 story suite in the excellence club. Do you know what building that room should be in?
Should be in 8a or 9a. Email the resort a week before and request/restate your preference. Have a great time. 😊

Does the pool in front of building 6 connect to the "lazy river" or are they separate? Thanks
They connect! Building 6 is right across from the juice bar. 😊
@@newtravelescapes Thanks so much. I'll request building 6 for sure!
@@debbiesb7543 my pleasure 😊 Have a great trip!

I would say building 2 or 3 overlooking the spa. 😊
Booked a 2-story rooftop. What are the best oceanfront room numbers in building 8 and 9?
I like the end units but they are all good. Just personal preferences really. Enjoy your trip!!! ☺️
There are no stairs to any room type/level, each building has an elevator to all rooms above ground level
Are all the pools heated or just the club ones?
Just the club ones and only just before Christmas (usually Dec 21 or later that week). To us, the pools are too cold to use from November until March.

If you are staying at the finest, do you have access to the lazy river? Or is this exclusive to the excellence?
Nope. You can't go back and forth between the resorts.
The lack of bathroom privacy is a deal breaker for me
