excellent hotel
I've been a few times in that hotel, Ocidental. Love it. Great service, food, rooms. Recommend.
The service from all the employees was beyond spectacular. Don't be scared to go in August...the weather although sometimes hot and sticky was mostly great and the fact that were fewer visitors made for an extremely pleasant experience.
It would be nice if the resort would provide chairs that you can sit up in and read while at the pool areas...these were sadly lacking
Also on hot and humid days please allow men to be able to wear dress shorts for dinner at the various restaurants.
Just came back from 5 days stay at Occidental Neuvo Vallarta July 11 to July 15.
If one have never been at all-inclusive, Occidental Neuvo Vallarta is probably ok. Because one have nothing to compare to. I have done all-inclusive at least 8 times and Occidental is kind of disappointed for me as far as dinning options.
First buffet have about the same everyday.
Second 3 restaurants (Mexican, Italian, Japanese) can only be reserved one time each for the whole stay.
Staffs are friendly and very good services.

KellyCC
No
Landp
No. The bus is under 12 pesos / pp ($1) or you can taxi for 120 pesos or so ($10) one way. Cheap Caribbean offers round-trip shuttle service when you book.
Jesse
No
gogreenjim
To and from the airport is provided and then the resort offers transportation to certain places around Puerto Vallarta
MelRose
We got complimentary transportation to airport, but they were nice to us. It was not included. It costs about $15 one way on taxi.
Elenita
No. They charge for pretty much everything! Internet was @ 13USD/day!! I purchased transportation to and from the hotel with my package and found out we overpaid. It would have been cheaper to take a cab. Make sure to tip @ 3 USD each way
cweaver78
No but you can get it through Cheapcaribean.com.

Occidental Grand Nuevo Vallarta sits on a beautiful, amber colored sandy beach with calm waters that are great for families. Complimentary towels and loungers are available at the beach.
CaitlinCC
The beach is very close to the hotel. You can see the sea from everywhere. The sand is white with golden flakes sparkling in the water, a very unusual view. No rocks on the area.
Elenita
It's near the hotel but the water was kind of yucky. It had LOTS of seaweed in it. The sand was a light brown (I think) I don't remember it being white. Not rocky. The water was pretty clam. I have been to prettier beaches... Beautiful at night!
cweaver78
The hotel is on the white sand beach. It is not rocky at all. There isn't sea weed but still salt water because it is the ocean in which you are swimming. There isn't any snorkeling, either.
Kessell
Is the beach close to the hotel? Yes, extremely close.
Is it white sand? Yes, and gets very hot when the sun is out!
Is the beach rocky? No, not at all. Very smooth.
Is the water calm like Cancun? Yes, the weather is calm for the most part; the current picks up in the afternoon/evening. The water is not caribbean blue/green like it is in Cancun however.
RCK7
The beach was close to the hotel. The sand was not white, it was tan. I didn't see any rocks on the beach. I've never been to Cancun, so I can't tell you if the water is calm like Cancun.
DeeDeeT
if you're looking for a nice beach- this is NOT it. yes resort is on the beach. no white sand. not rocky. NO blue water. a little bit more waves then cancun but still relatively calm.

unfortunately no :( It does have an adult only pool though.
cweaver78
No, it doesn't. Service is provided near pools, though.
Kessell
No, but the wait staff will walk around the adult pool area and bring you drinks. There is a bar that's centrally located between the adult pool and the other family pool, and beach.
RCK7
NO. There is not swim up bar.

In Occidental they sell pottery painted pots everywhere. As in the hotel they don't offer classes.

Are the only options for the beds, king or twin?2 answers
3 years, 44 months ago
Reno NV
Yes, the rooms offer 2 twin beds or a king size bed. Due to limitations, they do not offer 2 double beds in the room.
KristenCC
We booked the 2 twins, but they're more of double sized beds. We also booked a room with a king sized bed a few years back.

The Royal Level Pool offers a bar with premium drinks, a hot tub and a shallow section for children. If you have any further questions, you may contact the resort directly or call and speak to one of our Beachologists at 1-800-915-2322.

Ashley1234567
Jacuzzi was below par
Raylov
I think there is only if you are a royal club member. We had standard rooms and did not have access to the pool that contained a hot tub. (to be honest i'm not sure if the royal club pool had one or not, but it looked like it did)

No

What is the best way to get to puerto vallarta for the day and what is the best way to get there?5 answers
we want to spend a day in Puerto Vallarta and wondering how long a ride it is there and about how much it will cost. Also, is it best to take cab or is there a better option?
1 year, 22 months ago
sam
The resort may assist you with setting up transportation and can provide the cost to you.
StevieCC
ask for reps for a 'free tour'. that'll get you there you can choose to stay for the rest of the tour or tell them you're sick and take a cab back. Need to take two busses to get to the city so it wasn't recommended
Ashley1234567
Taxi is great to travel in Puerta Vallarta,but could get expensive
Raylov
Taxi is the best way.if you want to get there in time
Raylov
I tried bus, cab, and Uber last week. You need to try the bus once to get the feel it’s $1 and loads up in front of Starbucks across the street and dumps you off by the Walmart cruise terminal then you jump on another buss to get further south. Uber by far was cheapest and easier than anything else. Make sure you hit up the romantic zone/old town.
