We had a nice stay only because we booked Royal. The food at the Royal restaurant is delicious, but the buffet food was mediocre. So we ended up having breakfast, lunch AND dinner only at the Royal restaurant, and after 3 days we were bored of eating always the same. I would still recommend the resort due to its proximity to Xcaret park, but ONLY if you book Royal and you're staying for a few days.

⭐ 1 Star – Deeply Disappointing Experience Our stay at Occidental Xcaret was extremely disappointing and nowhere near what you would expect from an “all-inclusive” resort. First, the service was noticeably lacking. Staff were generally unhelpful and indifferent, and there was zero flexibility or accommodation for a late check-out, even when the resort was not busy. We felt rushed out rather than valued as guests. The amenities were poor and outdated. The overall design of the resort feels old and neglected, and the rooms were lackluster, worn, and far from comfortable. This is not a property that feels refreshed or well maintained. The biggest issue by far was the food. It was so bad that we ended up eating in town every single night, which completely defeats the purpose of booking an all-inclusive resort. Limited variety, poor quality, and unimpressive flavors across the board. Calling this place an “all-inclusive” is misleading. Between the subpar food, weak amenities, and lack of service, it simply doesn’t deliver on the promise. Overall, this resort fell short in almost every category. We would not return even if we were offered credit, even if it was free, that’s how bad it is. We would strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you want quality service, good food, or a true all-inclusive experience.

The property was beyond beautiful! So many animals free roaming the property. Mayan ruins tucked away throughout the grounds. The pools were very nice with plenty of seating. The employees were excellent with a special call put to Dayreth and her yoga class. Check-in was easy although we were provided no information about the property. We had to ask around to a number of people about what was included and what wasn’t. Some pools are reserved for special club members but they were not well marked nor were we told about them. The Expedia description listed a water park so we assumed we had access to Xcaret. But that was not the case. The best we can tell the “water park” referenced was a child’s play area. The food was very poor. It was tasteless and rarely warmer than room temperature in the buffets as well as the restaurants. I would still go back if a good deal presented itself.
