This resort has a great location and a very strong "jungle vibe." It is a beautiful place and they are trying hard to be eco-friendly. There are many good qualities to the resort: the beach & pool are perfect. There is an excellent little restaurant right on the beach. The Dive Palancar dock is located right at the resort! On...

This hotel is beautiful. The rooms are beautiful. The bathroom is stunning!!! The grounds are gorgeous. The food was wonderful. The service was first class. But I will never stay there again - because I will never stay at ANY hotel on Cozumel. If I went back, I would stay at Cancun and take the ferry over. Here is why:... More

Occidental was OK. Beds were firm. At the resort the mosquitos were bad the last 3 days we were there. The grounds are well kept. Front desk personnel could have been more helpful and friendly. Time share is a little pushy to get you to take the tour. Enjoyed using Lomas Travel for all our excursions. Food was good on... More

I'll start by saying, if my "tone" is a little sour, it's because it rained the first 4 days we were here. Overall, the resort is nice. The rooms I would rate okay, nothing special and the beds are very firm. They really need to treat for ants in the bathroom though. We were in Bldg 19, which is near... More

We have been coming to Cozumel annually for about 4 years now. We have always stayed at the Iberostar so that is what I am comparing with. We decided to stay at the Occidental this time because it was less expensive and we wanted to try something different. The resort is beautiful and the rooms are nicer than the rooms... More

Went with my husband for our 10th anniversary. The grounds are set back in a secluded jungle like area in the front & the gorgeous aqua waters flanking the back. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. They even arranged a private snorkeling trip for myself & my husband off Palancar Reef where we were followed by schools of fish... More

Stayed at the Occidental in Playa del Carmen for 5 nights. Was very nice but they had overbooked for Friday and Saturday and I was offered to spend 2 nights at Occidental Grand Resort Cozumel. What a mistake. I was assured similar accommodations to include a king size bed, garden view and a beautiful beach. The ferry ride was pleasant... More

Arrival: Upon arrival in Cozumel, customs at the airport was a bit time consuming but I've been through much worse. Strongly recommend grabbing a margarita from the "Margaritaville" stand outside for your trip to your hotel- fantastico!
