Very good

Last two years we have been to 3 All inclusive resorts in Playacar. Occidental was didn’t even come close to meeting our expectations. Food was same thing at the buffet, not fresh, below Denny’s type food quality. We tried daily to book restaurants but it was always booked.Trash could be seen around the property not picked up. Staff was amazingly friendly. The “vacation club” concierge is beyond annoying. Once they get you to listen they then become unhelpful. Property itself was nice. Loved the monkeys.
My family and I enjoyed our stay in this resort. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We went during off season, so everything was quiet and not crowded. We traveled with an infant/toddler and we didn’t have any issues. Yes, the food is not 5 stars, but it was edible.
Would definitely be back. Also, forgot, the pictures do not justify the beauty this resort is.

Disliked: Staff & service
Breakfast eggs were sawggy. Room was cleanliness was ok seen meldew on the bathroom lower walls
Rooms were vlean, friendly staff, bar was good, food wasnt great but ok. My husband got food poisoning the last few days there. The host of our hotel gave us a free meal for him to help with his food poisoning which was nice.
The resort was nice and rooms comfortable. A fair amount of wildlife to see with good snorkeling outside of the beach area. Staff was nice but very pushy about their membership.
The largest disappointment was food. The same minimal offerings every day, the food didn’t look good, and made us both sick for most of the trip. I didn’t go to Mexico to eat a burger for lunch every day. Omelets were decent for breakfast and fruit was usually alright.
A truly beautiful place to visit solo — perfect for disconnecting from everything and reconnecting with nature. Waking up to monkeys on the balcony and sharing the sunshine with iguanas made every moment feel magical.
Staff is friendly as accommodating. Dining options are exceptional. Overall an enjoyable experience. Especially the conversation we had with Moses during our ride to the beach from our rooms. He's nice, attentive and helpful.
El mejor hotel todo incluido en el que me he quedado, tiene una playa muy tranquila y agradable así como una piscina de agua salada preciosa en la que puedes estar en contacto con muchos peces de colores,además de otras piscinas de agua dulce.
Estás en medio de la naturaleza todo el tiempo conviviendo en armonía con venados, monos araña, flamingos, guacamayas
Una experiencia inolvidable
La comida deliciosa,muchos restaurantes a la carta
Shows nocturnos
Quedé encantada !!
