This resort is very low class the food was so bland no flavor at all the I ordered a pizza and it was burnt. The service was mediocre they were not very accommodating to our needs. No AC or fans around the property to keep you cool. The beach and the pool was nice. We ended up leaving this resort and going to the royalton (highly recommend) if I stayed at this resort I probably would of never came back to punta cana again thank God we left and went to another place for our vacation. I would never recommend the Occidental aka accidental

Dear Sinead,We appreciate that you took the time to share your experience with us.We regret to learn that the culinary offerings did not meet your expectations. Our selection of 11 restaurants is curated to cater to a variety of tastes, and we are disappointed to hear that we fell short in delivering an enjoyable dining experience for you.Furthermore, it is concerning to hear that our service did not live up to the high standards we strive to uphold. Exceptional guest service is paramount, and we take your comments seriously as we continuously seek to enhance our guests' experiences.We also note your discomfort due to the lack of air conditioning in certain areas. While our accommodations are designed to ensure a comfortable environment with air conditioning units and additional fans available upon request, we understand that the tropical climate can be challenging.It is, however, pleasing to know that you found the beach and pool areas to your liking. Our guests often commend the natural beauty and serene atmosphere of our beachfront location, and we are glad that these aspects of our resort brought you some enjoyment during your stay.We look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you back on future occasions.Best regards,Orestes Almaguer, General Manager

I stayed with my husband 5 days but 3 to 4 days would had been best. ROOM: We got the room with the ocean view and jetted tub, the tub had a leakage and jets almost didn’t work. My room was a bit dirty (hair at bathroom floor). Bed and pillows super uncomfortable. FOOD: Restaurants were good. The buffet at main lobby the food was good but not great, the staff needed more training, drinks were not served when you seat to eat, they will serve you drinks when you are almost finish eating and if you need silverware it’s best to get it from another table rather than wait for staff. The best buffet service is near the beach at Las Caracolas. ENTERTAINMENT: Shows, Parties, Staff…Excellent! BEACH AREA: Clean, very nice. I wouldn’t stay at this Resort again. ✌🌺

The room was great! Beautiful views of the ocean and pool area. AC worked outstanding and the ceiling fan was a bonus! The bed was super comfortable. I hated the 1/2 glass shower door situation. I would have much preferred a sliding glass door so the floor doesn't get soaked every time you shower! Room attendants were on the mark! They did a great job having the room cleaned and re-appointed quickly every day. My only complaint was the buffet. The breakfast service was dismal. We went between 9-11 am every day. I'm sure this is the busiest time, but it's vacation! People don't want to eat super early! There were never clean tables. We would sit at a dirty table and end up bussing it ourselves. It was also a 20-30 min wait for coffee! This problem could be alleviated by having a large self-service coffee area. Have the serving/bus staff clean tables and reset with clean utensils rather than rushing around trying to fill up coffee cups. I saw many people frustrated with this issue ~ we saw it every morning. The food was ok. I'm not a huge buffet-eating person but I found plenty of good food to satisfy myself. I recommend the restaurant by the beach for better service and easier seating ~ it's only open for lunch though. The best restaurant was the Steakhouse (Las Reces). Best dinner of the trip!

The resort was clean, and newer rhansome of the others that I've seen. The staff is very courteous and ready to help you. The food is plenty and so are the drinks. The pool was so much fun with its swim up bar. The beach is nice and clean. All in all my family and I had a great vacation and definitely plan on returning.

My mom and I stayed at Occidental Punta Cana for a week. We stayed with my sister, niece, and brother-in-law; it was truly an amazing experience! We have been to other resorts, but this was our first time at Occidental and we now have a place that we can always visit. All the staff members were sweet and were ready to help with anything we needed. Some waitresses were Marilandy, and Melida. They were both super attentive and nice to my family and I for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our housekeeper Minerva was very kind and brought us what we needed when asked. She also did a great job at keeping everything very clean. If you are looking for somewhere calm and where you can relax; this is the place to be :)

The service was honestly really bad. The people who work here seem miserable to be here. The cleaning of our rooms was very hit or miss. Sometimes it would be done by 12 and other days done by 3pm. We would tip our cleaning lady daily but she would forget towels, etc. we paid extra for a room with a jacuzzi tub that we couldn’t even use as it was so incredibly dirty.

The staff at this Occidental have no clue that they’re in the hospitality industry. Hands down the WORST service I’ve ever had at an “all inclusive”. From the lies, the “butler” that was completely useless, to the Guest Service that was non existent; I would steer clear of this resort. There are way better options in the Dominican.
