Everything was very good. It is far from the airport so book a shuttle. The food was average but edible and service was good. If you want beach, maybe stay closer to the core of Cancún. The lagoon and snorkelling were wonderful.

Staff was 100%. Drinks were amazing! The taco stand was at 100% every single night. We went during Christmas Eve. The buffet was done up nicely. Bathrooms always clean. Tons of walking, which could make or break some nights missing the cart. Towards the end of stay we had a pretty big massive trip coming from the ceiling. That was leaking quite a bit of water. And the jetted tubs looked outdated in full of caulking. And there was a lot of wires showing. During the walkway, which isn’t a big thing but it’s a very nice resort that cleaning up the ugly would make it 100%.

I don’t like to complain but I had a bad experience in Occidental hotel in Cancun the AC made so much noise I couldn’t sleep. The second night my room was flooded because the AC was accumulating water around and water was coming from the wall. My close got ruined when I told the front desk they took long to come and fix it. They didn’t offer to dry my clothes so It ruined my activities planed for the day because we didn’t have any dry clothes. I Thing the amount of money I pay I will expect to have a better experience. I plan this Christmas vacation for my daughter with so much passion but it wasn’t how I planned. One star is a lot for my bad experienced.

I stayed with my family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens). Overall, our stay was great. There was plenty to do: nature trails, pools, beach volleyball, activities, nightly performances, and of course, the beach. Just a few things we wish could be improved: 1. Food: meats, no matter how they was cooked, were too dry and overcooked. We were hoping for better at the Steakhouse, but even after ordering our steaks to be medium, they came out well done. Also, taste for most foods were just ok. I’ve had better tasting food at other resorts. Nothing in particular stood out. 2. It would be nice to have a place where we can grab quick food/snacks any time of day. The restaurants were only open during the three typical meal times. Like if we wanted an afternoon snack by the pool or in between afternoon activities, we had to put on cover ups and go to the buffets. 3. The beach volleyball court is in an excellent area, but it would be good if they put a thicker layer of sand; as there is concrete underneath! Players cannot dive for the ball! I scraped my knee

The property is great! Animals and plants. The food is mediocre but fine. They don’t have chicken strips but if your kids like hot dogs and hamburgers then they will always have something. The beach is the best with no seaweed!!

Everything was excellent except the beds. The two double beds in a room should have been queen sized. The double beds are too small for two adults. We came home all stiff and sore. This was the only negative part of our experience at the resort. Everything else was superb.

The Occidental is a resort made up of incredible grounds & different bldgs spread out. Plan on a lot of walking, even to the pool area.There are golf cart trams which run thru with stops you can wait at. Nature trails cut thru & lots of wildlife.The beach cove area is nice but small, rickety loungers. The beach has it's own buffet & bar area. They even have a few ruins on the property. We stayed here due to the private entrance to Xcaret Park. They tell you to to take the boat up the canal to the park. Everytime we waited, & saw others wait, the boat always came by full. We finally just walked up there & it is a very short distance. I would encourage you to not wait for the slow boat to China so to speak. As far as the hotel itself, the staff is friendly & helpful, however communication could be much better. They direct you towards a QR code for everything which is irritating. It takes a good day to orient yourself. The food at the buffet is very good. We went to to one specialty dining room & it was awful so we stuck with the buffet. The resort itself is aging. Our daughter had a leak in her ceiling. The mini fridges don't really cool, even though they replaced ours. They have a weird fetish about towels & refuse to give you extra towels. There was one evening show which was entertaining. The beds & pillows were ok but a little lumpy. We loved the monkeys & the grounds. It will be time for a makeover soon. Watch for the shared vacation sales guys, they are everywhere.
