    lagoon-style pools
    outstanding service
    spa treatments

    the pools at occidental are fantastic, especially the kids-only one! there's also a great spa for relaxing treatments. and don’t miss the three a la carte restaurants nearby for dinner. i had a nice drink served by the amazing alex, who was super helpful.

    the service could definitely be better.

    beach access
    outdoor swimming pool

    This place suits me perfectly! With excellent beach access, a lovely outdoor swimming pool, and great 24-hour security, I feel safe and relaxed. On my first stay, the staff assisted my elderly parents kindly, which I remember fondly. I'll definitely be back for another city break!

    The beach access was incredible, and the sunset views from our balcony were stunning. However, the room cleanliness left much to be desired, with old mattresses and unvacuumed floors.

    The beach was stunning, and my daughter loved gluten-free pizzas made by a kind chef. However, the room had a leak, and we faced long lines at the bar.

    stunning beach
    clean facilities
    non-functioning air conditioning
    low water pressure

    my stay at this hotel was lovely. the friendly staff made us feel welcome, and the beach was stunning with clear blue waters. unlike my previous trip to punta cana, this resort outdid itself with clean facilities and great entertainment options.

    the air conditioning didn’t work well.

    amazing pools
    poor housekeeping
    slow service

    Fantastic amenities with room for improvement

    My stay was quite enjoyable, with amazing pools and stunning beachfront access, though I faced issues with housekeeping and a sometimes unhelpful reception. The themed restaurants offered some great dining options, but service could be much faster, especially at peak meal times.

    outdoor pools
    pristine beach
    slow check-in

    The outdoor pools are exceptionally vast and well-maintained, perfect for a refreshing dip. The beach offers pristine white sand, ideal for sunbathing or beach games, while the adult-only section ensures a peaceful atmosphere amidst the activity.

    Upon arrival, the check-in process was painfully slow, taking over an hour and a half, which could put a damper on one's mood right off the bat. My room had a troublesome door crack, and the shower fixture detached from the wall during use. Further issues with the bathroom included a leaking ceiling and malfunctioning electrical outlets, which despite multiple maintenance requests, were not addressed timely. Additionally, I noticed a lack of variety during meals, as dining options became monotonous after several days.

    gorgeous beach
    clean pools
    friendly staff
    flavorless food
    musty room

    The beach is absolutely stunning, like a postcard come to life! The pools are well-maintained and a blast, perfect for soaking up the sun. Plus, I had a fantastic drink served by the friendly staff. The local seafood spots nearby are a hidden gem, so don’t skip those!

    Despite the appealing scenery, the dining experience didn’t hit the mark. The food lacked flavor and quality. My room had persistent air conditioning issues, and the musty smell was hard to overlook. Not to mention, some of the facilities felt dated.

    beautiful view
    enjoyable dishes
    poor service
    cigarette smell
    towel shortage

    Staying here for 4 nights felt disappointing due to the service and room conditions. Our suite offered a beautiful view, but it smelled of cigarettes upon arrival and had persistent issues despite attempts to resolve them. While the pool was lovely, we faced challenges with towel availability. Dining was hit-or-miss. the beef dishes were enjoyable, but the overall food quality at the buffet left much to be desired.

    stunning beach
    amazing staff

    Breathtaking, Breathtaking, Breathtaking

    Hands down, the beach was the most stunning I’ve ever seen with crystal clear waters and soft white sand. The vibey atmosphere at the pool 💦 made it the perfect spot for relaxing between fun activities like the incredible spa services. But let’s not forget the amazing staff who treated us like family, always ready to serve with a smile! 🤗

    great beach
    nightlife
    tennis court
    non-functioning room locks

    Had an amazing time with friends! We loved chilling at the beach and the fun night life, especially at the club in the cave. The tennis court was awesome too! Perfect for a group getaway. Just keep in mind it gets crowded at meal times.

    The room locks gave me a hard time. sometimes they just wouldn't work at all. It was a bit frustrating having to try a few times to get in.
