Nice and affordable place to stay.

Enjoyed our stay - easy to get around the resort. Definitely will plan to visit again!

The friendly

Buyers beware is the first thing I will say before I elaborate on my trip. I am a frequent visitor of Punta Cana. My last vacation there in January was absolutely amazing and perfect at the hotel next door to the Occidental. When we first got there and checked in, my suite indicated that it had room service. When I asked the gentleman at the desk about that, he told me it did not come with my package. I took out my phone and showed him what they advertise for my upgraded suite that I paid extra for, and he completely ignored it. I was too tired to argue so I went to my room with my husband. The room was filthy. The white sheets and bedding was covered with stains. The bed was as hard as a rock and they were two pillows per person, and they were as thin as a piece of paper. The mirror in the bathroom is filthy and rusted, the bathroom shower did not work. It would not change from waterfall to shower massage. Molded shower. None of the outlets on my husband’s side of the bed worked so he couldn’t charge his phone on his side. We called the front desk to ask for maintenance and they never came once. The elevator in our building did not work. The ice machines in our building were always off or broken. The rooms on the first floor all flooded. The buffet was gross. All the food was cold, the servers were rude. One of the cappuccino machines were broken and every time we asked for a cappuccino we got dirty looks. Filthy and an embarrassment. I will never return to this place.

Very clean in public areas, rooms also clean and comfortable.the restaurants were so-so 2 buffets. Italian Mexican, Chinese steak house seafood.one buffet is outside near beach other inside near lobby . seafood rest.is outside it was hot so we didn't eat there.the Royal level is the best play, you have your own check in and check out bldg, they make the reservations for you for dinner so you don't wait in lobby.they have Royal restaurant just for Royal guest which we use every breakfast and lunch.On beach they have private section and bar so you are not near the crowds.the room also has hot tub which is on patio.They give you different bracelets so security keeps others from using area.No ice tea drinks or cold brew ,they just put ice in glass for coffee ,go for Royal level.

Excellent place, good food, lovely and healthy staff

Muy Buena!!

Fui por 9 días todo muy bien hasta que nos enfermamos y no recibimos atención del personal del hotel en la madrugada cuando estábamos pidiendo ayuda por fiebre mayor de 40 al día siguiente pidieron disculpas pero pudo ser peor. Cogimos una bacteria del agua de beber. Por lo demás el personal del spa (Nelson Mandela y las chicas de la zona que está al lado de parque) espectacular. Las comidas muy ricas y los show y fiestas muy buenas. Las habitaciones espaciosas y todos los días te la organizan. Lamento haber tenido la mala experiencia de mi enfermedad y que no fueran capaces de tener empatía con sus huéspedes.

everything good

Royal level at Occidental Punta Cana is amazing for three reasons: 1) a la carte meals 3 x a day with no reservations at royal level restaurant 2) royal level beach bar has high end booze 3) royal level rooms are close to beach and royal level beach bar and royal level restaurant

Great service, plenty to do within the resort and off site excursions. Make your restaurant dinner reservations EARLY! We were unable to get dinner reservations, due to us waiting so late. No fault to Occidental though. We will be back!

Beautiful resort, but the service is completely horrible!!!! Listen to all the bad reviews! If you are Hispanic and know English, I would recommend you speak English around the staff because once they hear you speak Spanish they treat you like you’re a nobody! I couldn’t believe it. And restaurants are by reservations only and were fully booked. Person in charge of making the reservations for the restaurant stated, “people who stay longer nights are priority.” So if you’re looking to stay for a whole week, you’re looking at 3 reservations max for your whole stay.
