Amazing time

Food drinks beach pool pool bar amazing!!!! No complaints about any of it!!! Only issue was reception desk was slow and not overly helpful but absolutely beautiful resort! Would return here. Amazing!!

Beautiful Beach no so beautiful service

Stayed at the Barcelo Bavaro Adults only, 2 months ago - service amazing. Occidental Trip - started off raining however weather got better and better as the week went on. Disappointed with the service most time had to wait for a drink even non alcoholic for more than 10 minutes. Omelette station at Buffett was crazy had to wait at least 10 sometimes 15 minutes before even ordering(throw in another cook if the line up is so long)

Paradise!

The hotel was amazing! Service and rooms were awesome and my friends and I had a very memorable time! The workers were very engaging and spent time playing volleyball with us. 100% would go back, we loved it!

Great vacation with friends

My friends and I just came back from Occidental Caribe, and it was a fantastic time! Service was okay, the pool staff was amazing! Most of the other employees didn't really know much English (which is to be expected in a Spanish speaking country). Food was okay not the best though. Beach is amazing! We would definitely go back!

Nice resort

The resort was very nice. The only complaint was the food in the main buffet was not very good. The other restaurants were excellent. One other thing was the golf. We were told the green fees were $75.00 U.S. which was fine. We were not told however it was going to cost $50.00 to get to the course. Also we weren`t advised if the cost to play included a cart.

Great time

Hotel was a little old but in excellant condition. food was very good for resort food. Ala cartes were excellant. Beach was amazing. Lots of activities and things to do for all ages. Would definately return

Great Location

The hotel has been our selection in Punta Cana for several years. It is not the fanciest but is comfortable. The airport security has sicken us of ever returning to Punta Cana as items were stolen from my bag and then we were searched!

Beautiful property

The hotel was well situated which is why we chose it, the grounds were always well kept and clean, The food was great. The beach was one of the best in the area with little to no seaweed. The hotel staff gave us the feeling of entitlement, never went out of their way for anything you asked for or needed. 3 times in a week towels were forgotten, every day at the buffet, cutlery, water, coffee was a commodity and best retrieved at the bar before going in to sit down.

Occidental caribe punta cana

I found this hotel was awesome for a 4star and for the price. Good service, good food and good staff. Rooms are clean and grounds are always well maintained. 2 big pools. One of the best beaches on the coast. I highly recommend this resort.

Awesome hotel!

Me and my girlfriend recently stayed at this property. We found it was an amazing experience. The staff was friendly ,the food was excellent and the grounds and landscaping were exceptionally maintained. We would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a nice get away.

Great vacation

We had a wonderful vacation at this resort. Beach and grounds were perfect. No long walks or trolleys to the beach. Food was great. Rooms were great except the mattresses and pillows need to be replaced. The best of all is the staff, very friendly and helpful. The resort has a great layout that,s why we have booked it over and over again. We will return.

Beautiful property not overly friendly staff

The hotel property and beach is beautiful. It's a nicely laid out property with great views of he pools and ocean. The food was fantastic with a large variety to chose from. The staff at this hotel didn't go out of there way by any means even when it comes to providing utensils or searching water and coffee. It seemed it was understaffed in the buffet or that the stay was just mainly there to clear tables that was the only major downfall of the resort. If you are okay wih fending for yourself in [... read more] many ways that it won't be a problem. One other slight problem is towels in the rooms for eveninf showers they don't tend to bring you towels until quite late into eh evening(again probably understaffed in he housekeeping department. All in all we had a great stay and managed to fend for ourself all while enjoying the beautiful property, beach and delicious food

Very disappointed

The hotel looks great and the grounds are beautiful...from a distance. This hotel is very tired and worn out and in need of major repair. They only advertise the upgraded renovated section of the resort which is section 1 and 2 (there are 7 sections). The room we stayed in had electrical problems, lights worked some times, water and plumbing stopped working on day 5, the door looked like it had been broken and pryed into and there was no security locks on our door, the safe was broken and the [... read more] shower had a broken faucet with a long screw being used as the handle to control water temperature. We complained to the front desk, guest services and to the front desk manager and they told us they were booked at 110% and couldn't accommodate us elsewhere at the hotel. The pools were overcrowded, loud and lots of dirt and chipped paint/missing tiles in many parts of the pool so be careful not to cut your feet on the broken parts. This hotel was advertised at a 4.5 star and we paid over $1500 per person, it should be rated at a 3 star and no more than $1100 per person for the condition. The good parts - the food was great, the staff in the buffet were incredible and very friendly and helpful!! The beach was one of the nicest stretches of beach we've been on. The management and front desk staff were very rude and not accommodating to us at all, we had booked a king sized bed with a crib and they gave us a room with 2 double beds and no crib...they told us they wouldn't have a crib for us until day 4 into our vacation. I had to sleep in another bed away from my husband all week so that my infant wouldn't roll out of the bed. I would not go back to this resort and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Great Resort

The resort was great, people were nice. The rooms were very outdated and could be freshened up a bit. Loved that all the building were connected. Buffet food could be better but restaurant food was amazing.

Not bad

People are nice but the rooms are in need of some updates, food was ok. We often waited for drinks even though we tipped. We tipped everyone including the maids but we never got enough towels for the 4 of us. The towel bar by the pool required several trips a day to actually get towels as they were often out of them

Nice Resort

The hotel is older but well laid out. Grounds are nicely kept, al a carte restaurants pretty good, beach is beautiful and clean, rooms are small with paper thin walls sounded like the people in the next room were in our room. We went at a bad time as there were hundreds of students there for reading week from the US and it was a nightmare. They were up partying all night, throwing up in the pool, spilling drinks in the pool, you couldn't even get close to the bar to get a drink. After 2 days w [... read more]e moved to there sister hotel 10 mins down the road the Occidential Punta Cana well worth the extra money although we did not have to pay any extra, thank you Air Transat for getting us moved. Would not go back to the Occidential Caribe been to a lot nicer resorts for the same money.

Amazing Resort-Great Value

Met all of our expectations-4 years in a row to the same resort. Great food choices, very friendly and accommodating staff and you cannot beat the beach! A la carte restaurants also great with exception of the French restaurant which had slower service and not as good food as the other a la cartes

Beautiful resort/bad timing

Everything about occidental caribe was amazing. People were so welcoming and nice. The food was to die for, the room was gorgeous, the excursions were fun! The only bad thing I would have to complain about that it was spring break. So there was tons of unappreciative/disrespectful kids running around. Made for sleepless nights due to noise, knocking on our door and running and loud music all night. To get drinks took forever because they were understaffed because of the amount of people. Other t [... read more]hen that it was an amazing experience and I would love to go back.

Fun times at the occidental

The beach is stunning, rooms a little dated and could use a little more entertainment but overall we had a great time. The food is a 7/10 but lots of variety and plenty of fresh fruit and veggies. The foam party and beach party were a nice touch. Overall the staff could be a little more helpful but they do go out of their way for you. Overall it was a nice resort but the beach is stunning and clean.

Picturesque

The grounds of the hotel are beautiful. However the resort was understaffed.There were many cups left in and around the pool. It was too much for one person to keep up with. The shower and tub in the room had mold growing. There was a drink spilled on the wall in the room prior to us and was still there when we left. Check in sucked because there wasnt enough staff. Rooms weren't ready either. The food was just ok. Pizza restaurant was great. The resort was pretty it just needs some updating and [... read more] staff!
