Resort is beautiful and walking distance to Xcaret. Also wild animals and walking trails on the property are a nice touch. That is this resorts only saving grace. Beaches are non-existent. Also food was horrible. Eggs in the morning were soggy. Even boiled eggs were impossible to eat. Fruit quality was poor. Food cooked on the spot was incredibly greasy and inedible. A la carte restaurants were better but require you to book in person at the information desk and can only be done two days in advance. The resort does not have an app.

The food is very repetitive throughout the three meals a day and everyday. Minimal to least options for vegetarians. I was eating the same thing everyday which is boring. The veggie soups were also made with chicken broth. Also, the food was not allowed to be taken to the room which can be inconvenient. My brother got hurt during this trip. The incident happened outside the property but he was getting bandage from the hotel doctor. It was late in the night And He was super hungry. The pizza place in the resort was open and the staff refused me to take pizza to him. They asked to have him walk to their place if he wants to eat which was ridiculous. Exceptions should be made for situations like this but surely their rules are more important than being human during extraneous conditions.

Room is clean and spacious. They replenish your drinks in the fridge everyday. It’s right beside Xcaret park which is convenient. The wait time to get a drink is not ridiculously long. Drinks are good. No one explicitly ask for tips (money). Staff are polite. Beach is nice. U could see lots of fishes in the beach and salt water pool. No seaweeds. Pools are nice and clean as well. What we really like in this resort is the nature and history inside.. you’d see monkeys, iguanas, flamingos and other animals. You’d see several ruins too! Okay now, that so good part. Food is okay in the buffet. Ala carte.. is fine. Our favorites are Italian and Steakhouse. I got upset in with the Asian resto, coz I told the server and front of the house that my partner is allergic with cherry and guess what I saw on his plate, a piece of cherry! I had to talk to the server (i would have talked to the manager too) and the server said, it should be fine coz the food wasn’t cooked with cherries..really? I still tipped the server but i made sure she’s educated. Another disappointing thing is the check-in. We checked in around 8pm. It was a long day, bit hungry (hangry), and the check in is slow. Priority should go to people checking in. I was a bit cranky during registration but the front desk guy remained professional. Another less appealing here for some would be the lack of public transportation passing the resort. You’d have to walk to the hiway or call a cab.

Buffet Food is miserable. It’s same food every day. We lived on pizzas and tacos served above sports bar till 2AM. Too difficult to book speciality restaurants. Have to book days in advance. Earlier resorts have an app where you can simply book by clicking few options. Here you need to stand in long queue at front desk and then make bookings.

Some sort of SCAM going on between Expedia and Occidental at Xcaret! I booked 2 rooms for 3 adults, 2 children and 1 infant. The hotel said I had booked 3 adults and 3 infants and I would have to pay extra for the the 2 children. They did not accept when I showed them my booking info and said because it did not show the age of the children that I would have to contact Expedia, but they could make the call for me. The concierge lady was on the phone with someone from Expedia in Mexico and gave them my itinerary number and then was on hold. I never got to speak with anyone but I got an Expedia Travel Confirmation email now showing traveler details of 3 adults and 3 infants!!! In the end I was forced to pay $1327 extra! The system they have between the hotel and Expedia is super crooked!!! Beware if you are traveling with your family, they will they to take advantage of you!

The grounds are beautiful. The rooms are nice but the floor never seemed clean. We were in building 22 and saw a lot of the monkeys. The food was below average. I have been to a lot of all inclusives in the area and this was by far the worst food. Loved the cove and swimming with the fish. Rest rooms were way too far apart and we had to walk far from almost anywhere to get to a rest room. Difficult with kids. The one by the swim up bar was always dirty and smelled like death. The "activity pool" had no restroom or bar near. Took the kids to the kids club to do some activities that were posted and saw them through the window sitting on a couch watching tv with no sound. We took them out and they told us the activities didn't happen. They played with blocks and watched TV. The shows were ok but very late but that is common at most resorts. I would not recommend and will not return.
