Very good

The staff were amazing all around, Carlos in the outside beach buffet was exceptional
Rooms were clean and beds comfy
Cant say enough good things about this place
Paradise!!
The staff were great and the property was beautiful and amazing. The wildlife was abundant with deer, monkeys, iguanas, coatis, etc. Some of the building is showing it's age and could use minor repairs or upgrades. Our room was comfortable and had all the amenities. The only real negative issue we had was the temperature of the food at the a la cartes coming out just warm and sometimes cold when it should have been hot.
The location of this resort being right next to Xcaret park with direct entrances can't be beat.
We would definately return to Occidental Xcaret.
Sub par food. Lack of communication skills. Lack of urgency. Service was so poor. Delayed flights, delayed luggage. Had tickets for events i couldn't go to because of the luggage delay. When luggage arrived I had to get it myself. Servers couldn't answer basic questions like "where is the washrooms?" Was told by a concierge that ALL restaurants were closed at 6PM, which was totally false. "All inclusive" doesn't include room service unless your a Royal member, otherwise, it's extra with a $8 service charge? Question is......what will Expedia do about it?
An amazing stay!
I would highly recommend this hotel if you are thinking about visiting Riviera Maya.
Staff are super friendly and helpful, they can’t do enough for you and want you to be happy.
Comfortable beds and spacious rooms, plenty of towels and mini bar stocked daily.
The grounds of this are super special with a host of wildlife living on the premises. This makes for a truly unique experience, you never know what you will see next.
Food is good, a wide selection of restaurants and buffets.
This was our third time at this resort and we will surely be back!
This was our 3rd stay and will absolutely be back!

It was just ok. Loved the wildlife most. Food was average. Service was good. Rooms were freezing cold and very loud. Other than that is was decent for the price.
The staff was very nice very attentive my second time being there and I plan on coming back third fourth and fifth all around. Best resort I’ve been to.
Well it was our second time there, and just like before my wife and I absolutely love this hotel. How it's integrated with the jungle, the animals, the Mayan ruins without harming nature, while giving the hotel natural beauty. All the pools, the mini beach, the restaurants are great!

The staff were fantastic. As soon as I pointed out that I couldn't see out our window because of months of buildup of monkey poo they cleaned it. The room was very strong with a mildew smell but you couldn't keep your porch door open because the monkeys will enter. Our suitcases still smell of mildew 2 months later. Not the end of the world. We had a cold week which is no one's fault but no one was swimming in the pool as it isn't heated like others I have seen in Mexico. Bathroom was gross, no one properly scrubs. Had to wear water shoes in shower. Had to have garbage can replaced due to buildup of gunk all over it. This sounds bad but the scenery and lovely staff really helped. Would I go back? no, way better places to stay but lovely place.
