About The Excellence Collection

The Excellence Collection is a family-owned and operated luxury resort group specializing in upscale all-inclusive properties across the Caribbean. Founded in 2000 as The Excellence Group, the company pioneered a new standard of all-inclusive luxury hospitality, opening its flagship Excellence Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Today, The Excellence Collection operates nine award-winning properties across Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica, representing a joint investment between Medieval Times, Zafiro Hotels, and Viva Hotels—each bringing expertise in hospitality, real estate development, entertainment, and construction. The group's portfolio spans three distinct brands: Excellence Resorts (adults-only), Finest Resorts (modern all-inclusive for all ages), and Beloved Hotels (couples-only), each designed to deliver bespoke service and create extraordinary moments for guests. The company is recognized industry-wide for exceptional quality, having received accolades including Condé Nast's Gold List, Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards, AAA Diamond Awards, and TripAdvisor's Certificate of Excellence.
