Our trip began with 5 adults and six tennagers from Puerto Rico to Punta Cana june 20-27 2009,Got there at 11:00 am and check in was fast enough considering the hotel was 100% booked, Juan was at the reception with a big smile,rooms were ready at 2:30pm so ate in the buffet (actually food was good) we slept in the... more

I don't know what all the negativity is about. Been to D.R. quite a few times and this is my 2nd time back to the Occidental & was a little apprehensive about this visit, with all the mixed reviews. Check in & check out was a breeze (ILLYANA was great) The food was terrific, great variety. Drinks are good.., sometimes... more

In short, I went there for my honey moon because someone had recommended it to us. I did not know that these people that recommended it to us were about 60years old each and just stuck to the bar of the hotel the whole time they were there. First we get there, check in and the room was dirty. The... more

my husband and i just got back from the occidental in punta cana and this was the best beach vacation we ever had. the ocean water was amazing and the resort has a prime location. we walked the beach everyday which was very clean. no rocks or seaweed. other resorts were not so lucky. the room was very clean. they... more

We wanted to take our daughter (and her friend )to a very nice Caribbean resort as her graduation gift. I thought the all-inclusive places were the way to go as we had never done them before and thought it would be worth a try. Well, our travel agent told us this place was the best buy for our money, she... more

I would return in a minute. There were minor inconviences but I have those at home. If you are a foodie, this may not be the resort for you. If you have to be entertained nonstop, this is not the resort for you. It was near perfect for my husband and I. He had knee replacement surgery 3 months ago,... more

A group of six women traveled to Occidental June 13-20. After some confusion at the airport due to lost luggage (no fault of resort) we were driven to the resort where our check in was fun and expeditious with Miguel and "Obama" We were given a golf cart tour on the way to our rooms in building 26. This was... more

all-inclusive vacation, then this is definitely the place for you. The food was medicre-tasting, same thing every day & we both got intestinal infections. You can't drink the water in the room & I suspect the food is washed in water-laden bacteria as well even though the dining room water is supposed to be filtered. Since no activities are included... more

The resort didn't have much to do other than drink alcohol and eat terrible food. The room smelled like mildew. I would not go to any of the reservation required restaurants. The buffet was mediocure. Service was slow at best. You have to wait long periods of time for everything even with the resort about 65%full. The beach was nice... more
