Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Excellent Family Vacation

The resort was great, we definitely enjoyed the unlimited XCARET. I plan to visit this resort again. The resort didn't seem busy which was definitely nice. The restaurants were good however we have had better at other resorts. The beds in the room were doubles as compared to queens, queens would have been nice. The resort was kept very nice and clean. I would definitely recommend this resort!

I had absolutely no problems with the flight or signing in the the resort everything was planned out perfectly. Thank you so much for the best experience of my life !

Occidental Punta Cana: great resort

Weather was very nice. 30 degrees everyday and sunny. Little bit of rain at night but not enough to stop from doing anything. I found the food good but find myself eating the same thing everyday. Hotel rooms was not very nice but not a big deal since most the time u just go to you room so sleep. Had lots of fun on this trip

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Amazing resort!!!

This was a great resort!. Friendly staff, nice clean rooms and beautiful grounds. The restaurants were nice, our favorites were seafood and oriental. It was nice to be so close to the attractions like Xcarat. Would go back for sure! Our vacation was unforgettable!!! Thank you everybody!!!

Sirenis Tropical Varadero: Awesome.

The resort was undergoing reno's so we only had the beach club area, but what a place! Everything was close, everyone was amazing. Our room was the best one in the complex, I'm sure it had the best view. I want to go back for Christmas!

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: AMAZING TRIP!!

The Occidental Grand Flamenco Xcaret Resort was amazing!! The staff, food, drinks and entertainment were on point. The pools and beaches were awesome and very well maintained. Thanks for a very enjoyable vacation!!!

Occidental Punta Cana: Great staff!

The staff was really friendly and taught us a lot of Spanish words. We made lots of friends. At first, it was a little confusing, but after a while it felt like home. The water is great too, white sand.

Occidental Punta Cana: Beautiful resort

The grounds are beautiful and kept clean The pools are cleaned daily and the beach is amazing. The sand is white and so soft. The rooms were cleaned daily with no issues at all. Check in was fast and smooth. Overall we had a great time and I would definitely go back again.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Great trip

This hotel is quite large so it offers a lot of extras but is not easy for everyone to navigate. People with mobility issues and small children can take advantage of the shuttle but it stills requires a fair amount of walking. The grounds were kept quite nicely and pools were clean. The jungle paths full of animals were great. The beach area is small but being in a protected cove, offers easy entry and exit and no big waves knocking people over. The fish were plentiful and snorkeling right on th [... read more]e grounds even in waist deep water was great. The buffets were large and varied. We did not hear of anyone having issues with the food. The a la cartes were just okay. Nothing great but not bad either. The entrance to Xcaret was a huge selling feature for us. The unlimited access option that we took was definitely worth it. What a great park. So many things to see and do.

Allegro Papagayo by Occidental: Great times!!

The food and service were fantastic. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean, large and had beautiful views. Pool Was great, lots of activities available. Would definitely visit again.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Great resort!

Hotel was large and clean. Food was good! Many choices and restaurants! Stayed in the royal club, too many kids, needs and 18+, we paid the extra with the assumption of no children not the case. Overall great.

Occidental Papagayo: Amazing Resort

Beautiful location! Service was excellent especially Jose-Maria who looked after us poolside and in the snack bar! Activities team was great. It was nice to have a fellow Canadian working there. Michael you are awesome. Everything was fantastic, the only thing I would say as a negative was all the stairs(which could be avoided) and check-in was confusing. Would definitely go back!!

Allegro Playacar: Exactly as expected

Thanks to all the great reviews I read before our trip I felt I got exactly what I expected. The small no frills of this resort make it feel way more tropical than the pizzaz of the palace next door. Its the same Ocean, same sun and if you just love getting away like the 4 of us girls do you will love it. The pool and beach are fabulous and I would go back for those alone. The swim up bar is so nicely situated still in the sun with the view of the ocean or to enjoy your drink whilst watching the [... read more] lovely animation team dance and entertain. The food is typical basic all inclusive but we had no issues and always found something. I really get tired of food complainers, I mean really? If you want gourmet you can have it anytime at home at many fine dining choices. We go south for sun and fun. The food simply fuels us. Both restaurants are a nice relaxing change from the buffet and we enjoyed them, Service was excellent and my birthday was acknowledged with cake and a song. very nice. Drinks were fabulous. made any way you like it, slushy, shaken, very tasty margueritas and tequila sunrise. If you prefer Bacardi over their basic rum theres no issue.. The grounds are clean and nice and the short walk anywhere is super convenient. The rooms is the only reason this resort loses a star as they are small and dated but it is no issue to me as they were clean and maid service was excellent. I also found the beds very comfortable. I finally went to coco bongo and although it was unique to see I would never do it again.. Its very overwhelming and crowded. If you are over 40 like me then make sure you are a music lover and can handle being packed in there. Lastly another best about this resort as mentioned in many reviews is the staff. They are all lovely but our standouts were ANDERSON who is an absolute pleasure and his personality with all guests young and old made our vacation. BELISARIO at the Amber bar thank you for your smile and laugh, it was our pleasure to have met you. FIDEL and JORJE from the restaurants and late night snack bar, hard working and always smiling. Lastly the lovely NESTER who remembered our names and our drinks everyday and early evening at the beach bar.. Our girls vacation was a memorable one and we would all return to this hotel in a heartbeat. My only wishes for guest improvement would be some entertainment , piano or singer up in the lobby bar after dinner for those of us that don't stay up for the disco as it does seem to be very quiet at night. Also some nacho chips with all the fixings for late night snack as opposed to having to have meat tacos . Go and enjoy

Allegro Playacar: Relaxing and Perfect!

The resort is very clean and there is so much to do! The food was amazing ever night and it always changes so it is not repetitive. The shows were fun and very entertaining and people were very friendly! Overall, very satisfying because the beach was right in front and it was amazing!

Occidental Punta Cana: Occidental Resort Welcoming and Charming

My experience at the occidental was an absolute charm. The people were very welcoming and friendly. My first impression when I arrived at the Lobby was just, exciting. The front desk staff were very approachable, friendly and to the point. The pools were very clean and sparkling. Each day you would meet different people away from home. The dining room, the beach diner and snack bars were filled with fresh, decorative meals/treats, you do not go hungry or thirsty here. My husband especially enjoy [... read more]ed the alcohol. =) Overall I would recommend this resort for all to experience at such a great price. Might I just add that I highy recommend you spend the extra dollars to go with the Preferred Room which included the safe & 1hour internet at the lobby. This resort is perfect for families and small little ones. Thank you Occidental!

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Awesome Resort!!!!

My impression of the grounds, and the layout were greatly exceeded. My Fiancee and I were in building 21 (by mistake) and enjoyed waking up to deer, Iguanas, and coatimundi every morning. I was very impressed with the beach restaurant and area surrounding. The salt water pools were also excellent. Very clean resort.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Beautiful resort and great service!

Amazing resort, super friendly people working there. Very large and beautifully maintained property, variety of wildlife ... Buffet was pretty amazing too, what a selection and so tasty and fresh! So much to do, resort is right next to Xcaret Park! We would love to visit again some day!

Allegro Playacar: Very nice

Very good 3 star, clean and good food. The service was excellent , in the heat of the day still with a smile while caring for many guests. Well done. 30 minute walk to shopping and entertainment, wait for a cloudy day otherwise you will be uncomfortable in the heat.

Allegro Papagayo by Occidental: Fit and Full

Food was fiine. They did try to mix things up but the flavour was sometimes off (Oriental night). Loved the spread of fruits. The room was comfortable but need upgrading and professional finishing. Not sure I like the set-up of the resort but it did leave up with strong legs from all that walking. Many thanks to the great shuttle drivers. Grounds are kept clean and service was great. Very helpful and friendly workers. would have enjoyed better wifi connection though.

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Convenient and comfortable resort

The grounds, public areas are very clean. The room, where we're staying in the main building, has a very bad smell, maybe from the toilet. The cleaning lady cleaned the room well. The buffet is good. The food tends to be a bit salty. The dessert is excellent. The services at the buffet and resturant are very good. There evening entertainment almost non existant. The location of Occidential is good, nice beach, close to shopping mall. The bicycle path is nice. Neuvo Vallarta is safe, clean and pr [... read more]etty. Although the ocean is not very clear, the wave is not too strong, the sand is fine and nice long walk.
