We just got back from Mexico staying at the Occidental Grand Xcaret. The hotel is beautiful. The food that we ordered was very good. The only thing that I really feel is a problem is that they are horrible short staffed in the restuarants. There is only a MAN MADE BEACH and we were very disappointed in that because we... more

Stayed at this resort the week of July 7th. We loved our stay and the staff were great. We booked a Royal Club jr suite room. The staff always referred to us by our name, they remembered what drinks we like to drink. Susana, Gonzalo, and Ericka at the Royal Club were very accomodating. We always had breakfast and lunch... more

When u get offered a cheap price deal, one should always be prepared 4 the worst. Good value for the money!! I would have a problem paying real 4.5 star rates for what is a 3.5 star at best hotel. For internet types, skip this hotel, No poolside service only in lobby at $25 per day, no poolside service of... more

We arrived with a group of 15 including my 80 year old mother in law. We were there for my duaghters wedding. The rooms were not ready and the assignments were rediculous. They put mother in law in building 18 all alone. They put us in building 21. They put 3 adults and 1 infant in a room with 1... more

We booked a trip to the Occidental Grand Xcaret in Xcaret, Mexico for the first week of June, 2008 with our daughters to celebrate their accomplishments in graduating from college. This is the first trip of this sort that we have ever taken as a family. We were looking forward to spending time together since this would probably be the... more

First off, this was my first all inclusive resort stay, so I dont have much to compare it to, but my stay at the Occidental Xcaret was a good one. The resort was very clean, very beautiful, and the staff was extremely helpful and polite. Some of the reviews I read mentioned the timeshare hassling......there was no hassling....none at all!... more

My husband and I stayed at the resort from 6/23-7/2 for our honeymoon. After getting out of the airport, we figured we were going to be approached by the transportation service that was going to bring us to the airport. We were never approached (other than by people selling timeshares) and we had to ask around where we were supposed... more

On our fourth trip to Riviera Maya, we stayed at Occidental Grand Xcaret for 5 nights. We thought we would be sorry to book for only 5 nights, but we didn't even want to stay for the last night! Couldn't wait to go home! We arrived at 8:30PM, so not much time before heading to bed after a long day... more
