Disliked: Amenities
While staff was wonderful and helped as much as possible our room was not what was advertised. The listing included Royal Level amenities like room service and access to certain restaurants and areas, but none of that was included. The property blocks off a large portion of the resort for Royal guests which made it feel restricted instead of all inclusive. The trip into town was ridiculously overpriced. The food made several of us sick during the trip and we are still dealing with stomach issues days later. This was a very disappointing experience for a trip that was supposed to be special for our family.

The property is gorgeous and the pool and swim up bar are fun and well maintained. The inlet beach is also gorgeous and good for snorkeling or swimming for all skill levels. It’s close to Xcaret park but you will have to pay separately to go (highly recommended). The hotel staff are friendly but do note you may be approached about time share presentations several times during the trip. The hotel is great for a more remote vacation and if you do want to go explore Playa Del Carmen then it’s a $30 or so cab ride. I enjoyed staying at this property.

Occidental at Xcaret is impressive with inclusiveness: use of natural resources for architectural design, ambience, 24/7 guest services, cleanliness, maintenance, buffet, restaurants, bars, pharmacy, shops, and taxi service. One of our rooms that smelled like mildew was replaced with another within a few minutes.

Will definitely return! It's our 2nd time here. Last stay was about 14 years ago and we loved the place just as much! Well kept, clean room, great staff (Andrea, our concierge, made sure all our needs were met...including a last-minute ride to the airport when our preplanned ride failed), lots of nature, good food. 2 minor issues: people smoking on their balconies and in places they shouldn't have as well as children in the adults only section.

We had to switch room 4 times. The first one, the door wouldn’t close or lock. Second one, after much arguing, my wife’s bathing suit was stolen. We paid an additional $65 a day to upgrade room locations, only to end up with 2 small beds. Finally, 4 days before leaving, they gave us a suite, with still additional charges. I am supposed to ask Expedia for a refund for the transport service charge because we ended up booking a private driver.
