We arrived on 10/2/09 and stayed through 10/6/09. We had been to the Occidental Grand a couple of years ago and loved it. This time we were upgraded to the Royal Club. Not sure what the reason for the upgrade was--but considered ourselves very lucky! The trip was to celebrate my husband's 55th birthday. The hotel was not crowded so... more

I was at Occidental Grand from Sep 27 to Oct 4. I had 2 rooms for myself, my wife and my adult daughter. Here is my report and remember it is my personal view and not meant to agree or disagree with anybody else. The resort consists of many small buildings. I saw building 21, so I guess there is... more

I know that we all have our own idea of wonderful and this was mine !!! The resort was first class as far as guest services and beauty. If you like nature and water sports , this is the place to stay. The snorkeling off of the beach at the back of the roped in area was really nice. I... more

The Royal Club at the Occidental Grand is like having a second home or like visiting a really rich friend. They are so friendly and go out of their way to make sure your stay is relaxing and enjoyable. Our group went deep sea fishing and they cooked our fish for us. You can sleep as late as you want,... more

The Royal Club suites are huge and have 2 small balconies. This is great for drying dive gear. If it rains, you have plenty of room to dry your gear indoors. The food was for the most part very good. Naturally, local specialties like fish and pork were better than steak and salmon. A new, small resturant has been added... more

Cozumel has been our go-to diving destination for years. We honeymooned in Cozumel 21 years ago. Then we bought a time share with Occidental 12 years ago. The Grand has actually gotten better! The snorkelling from the hotel beach is a great swim for beginners if you go out to the buoys. The Dive Palancar service at the Hotel is... more

We stayed here with 18 family members, ranging in age 9-73. The Royal Club was worth the difference in price overall. The restaurant only seats 22, so one night, we had the place to ourselves. The kids were thrilled with the 24/7 room service. Rooms were large and comfortable. The one negative was the private jacuzzi pool. It closed at... more

I spent a week at the Occidental Grand Cozumel with my partner and another couple. We had an incredible time. The employees took very good care of us and went out of their way to make sure we were happy throughout our stay. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful. I loved going to the relaxation pool everyday to see... more

We have vistied this resort many times over the last few years (in fact, we did hurricane Wilma in 2005 at the Grand). This time we were going during the swine flu scare. We had a great time. There are no reported of flu on the island. This is a great resort, with an outstanding staff. We booked into the... more
