Excellence Resorts are well known for welcoming holidaymakers home and we certainly felt like part of the family. The service during our whole getaway to Excellence Punta Cana was incredible. And, combined with the peaceful atmosphere, we felt fully relaxed. The added bonus was that the friendly staff at Excellence Punta Cana became part of a very special memory. Here’s how the story unveiled.
Saying ‘Yes’
We’d spent the afternoon lazing around the Cascade Pool sampling the cocktails and decided to head to the Chez Isabelle, the stunning French restaurant, for an elegant evening meal. We sat in the beautiful courtyard with a water fountain glistening in the background. I was thrilled to finally be sampling Chez Isabelle as I’d heard so much about it. We ordered with recommendations from our waiter; creamy leek and potato soup to start and Chateaubriand for main; absolutely divine! I must admit I was pretty full after the two courses but my other half was insistent that we tried a dessert to get an ‘all round’ experience of the restaurant. Little did I know what was to come…
Desserts were ordered, my favourite; crème brulee. I sat back and took in the surroundings. A stunning restaurant, fine wine, beautiful food, I felt so relaxed I was almost horizontal. It wasn’t long until dessert was served and our waiter headed over with two plates covered with a silver cloche and placed one in front of each of us. He then uncovered the plates with a “Ta da!” and to my surprise it wasn’t my crème brulee. Where was my crème brulee?
Instead, it was a stunning diamond engagement ring! I’d waited so long for this moment and couldn’t believe it – tears started to flow and my other half was soon down on one knee asking me to be his future wife! Little did I know the whole waiter team was standing a short distance behind me and I never suspected a thing. They were all clapping and congratulating us as if we were family and friends. It added a personal touch to the whole occasion, it was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Luckily, after the excitement and thrill of the proposal, I did still get my crème brulee which added the perfect sweetness to end the evening… bliss.
If the romance at Excellence Punta Cana has swept you off your feet, just have a push of that lovely orange button.
