DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND LOOK AT THE DETAILS FOR THIS PROPERTY - MUCH IS NOT EXPLAINED UNTIL YOU ARE THERE AND IT IS TOO LATE> My recent hotel stay was very disappointing. The property is huge to the point where it was too big. We were a party of 9 and we were separated in differing hotel buildings which would not be an issue except for the fact that after dinner my 82 year old mom had to wait 29 minutes for the golf cart to take us to the building. Ohh and the golf cart stops at 10PM so if you need to get to your building good luck walking in the dark. Also the elevators did not work in our building se we had to walk up everyday. There are parts of the resort that are very nice but those are ONLY for the Club members (something like a timeshare) the rest of the resort leaves a lot to be desired for. You basically are a second class citizen unless you do the Club membership and it is not a pleasant feeling. The employees are nice and friendly but the hotel iS NOT WORTH THE MONEY. Stay somewhere else on the strip and in a more centralized location if you really want to explore Cancun.
Friendly, polite and super organized. Enjoyed our stay to the fullest.
excellent place to just and relax
They did not have towel most of the
Nicely spread out resort.. a great beach area perfect for our kids to learn how to snorkel. Fun but not rowdy like Cancun hotels make it great for families
All inclusive, wildlife, beach, food, services are good
The staff was very friendly and helpful. There are plenty of choices of where to eat.
Peaceful place. Good food, great amenities, friendly staff. Love that xcaret park it literally waking distance! The beach/lagoon was beautiful and we got to meet Bambi! So convenient that they have on-site Covid testing and our consierge Siri Figueroa and the others were so accommodating and welcoming!... We look forward to exploring Barceló resorts more! Will recommend this resort to family and friends!!!
There are so many positives and negatives that I can say about our stay at this resort. Positives: The resort itself is very beautiful and fairly easy to navigate around. The food was also surprisingly good, especially the buffets, where we spent most of our meals. The buffet ranges from traditional dishes to "Americanized" dishes for all types of foodies. The staff in the restaurants were also super kind and accommodating to guest needs. Right outside of the restaurants are lots of souvenir shops and a really useful pharmacy for your lost or forgotten essentials. The rest of the resort includes a multitude of beach areas, swimming pools, nature, and archeological finds. Negatives: Once at the resort, you are not given a lot of information (if any wat all) about how the resort works, the 90 minute timeshare presentation, or what is "all inclusive". We were a little lost for about a day and a half just trying to read the maps around the resort. Second, the staff at the front desk was not always the nicest. At one point we asked for the front desk to call us a taxi, and they informed us that the call would cost 5 dollars a minute. Second, we asked to exchange money and were told we would need to wait 45 minutes to an hour. Additionally, the 90 minute timeshare is a joke and a waste of your vacation time. Finally, do not pay for the concierge service because they do not provide it during COVID, so you will waste your money. We learned this the hard way on our honeymoon.
This is a long over due review, I stayed here on 5/27-5/30/2021 and I loved the resort it was amazingly beautiful! So many things to do and the whole staff was extremely friendly and so helpful they made us feel like very important people, which was more than I expected, thank you to Reeshel Thompson who checked us in and made us feel welcomed! Thanks to our great and friendly driver Isaias Vera, who also gave us tips on what to do and was so helpful. Overall I loved it here and I am 100 percent staying here again! :)
I loved their private beach, their own entrances to excaret and the staff. The nature around you is beautiful. You’ll see iguanas, spider monkeys, and other species everywhere. The rooms were very clean and nicely furnished. The only thing is that because of covid, there’s not much to see or do at night and the food at the buffet could be much better. Choose the restaurants instead. However, I would recommend this resort to anyone.
This is the second time I’ve been here, just different after COVID-19. Bar and club not open and buffets and restaurants times changes and some closed during week. But the place and staff are amazing.
We loved our stay there, the property is surrounded with nature and sea. There are big pools everywhere in the property which are never overcrowded and there are plenty of trees and animals all around. It's unique in the sense that the habitations are in tune with nature, burried in it rather than destroying it.
Absolutely love this hotel. It’s our second stay here. Love looking out our balcony and seeing monkeys. The food could be better but wasn’t terrible. Love the convenience of walking to Xcaret Park.
Occidental at Xcaret was definitely a beautiful resort. It was clean, the pools are huge and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Poolside entertainment was fun, and Alfredo from the swimup bar was the best! The quality of the food was a little too basic for my taste, wasn't the best food I've ever had, but certainly not the worst. If you are a picky eater, or have really high standards with food, then you might be disappointed. Other than the food, I have no real complaints about this resort. It's beautiful, huge, plenty of different locations to hang out and relax. The ruins and animals on the property are a plus for me. The views are absolutely breath taking. For a week long trip of relaxation, this hotel definitely served its purpose.
We really enjoyed our stay at Occidental Xcaret. We were there for 4 nights and loved it. The only complain we have is that the food at the main buffet was not great.
