We really liked staying at the Occidental. It is huge, it was busy but somehow, it is so well designed that it never felt crowded. We were very surprised by the additional fees to be charged at check in ($750 pesos) (why not give a heads up from Expedia or in advance?), and disappointed in the lack of communication by the hotel when we repeatedly asked, months ahead of our stay, for adjoining rooms but managed on day 2 to change rooms to be close TO OUR CHILDREN instead of down the hall. Thank god for David at the front deck as Lily did not help the night before but ignored our ask. But once that was settled - we loved the hotel, the food, the cleanliness. We do think we were a bit hoodwinked by the Chichen Itza trip - which was promised as a 3hr to Chichen trip but was 5 hours to get there because of multiple buses. We would return to Occidental.

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 And the jetted tubs looked outdated in full of caulking.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

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.
