    Disappointing

    We recently stayed at this property for a week and encountered several issues. Our room’s air conditioning didn’t cool, the refrigerator was broken, and the patio door wouldn’t lock. We informed the front desk, and they promised to send someone to fix the problems. Their response to my Google review also claimed they would address the issues immediately, but no one ever came. I followed up with an email to the property, which went unanswered. The location is fantastic, and the staff were friendly, but the unresolved maintenance issues made our stay uncomfortable. The room was hot, and the noise from outside was disruptive at night. After reading other negative Google reviews, it seems the property often fails to address room issues during guests’ stays, despite claiming otherwise in their responses. I invited the property to contact me multiple times to discuss these problems, but they never did. If your room’s AC works, you might have a pleasant stay, but otherwise, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

    Average experience at Occidental at Xcaret

    My expectations were higher and I was fairly disappointed by the quality of the food offered at any of the restaurants in the hotel. Many guests I discussed this situation with shared the same opinion regarding the food quality and options.

    Very outdated/run down resort. Limited variety of food.

    Very rundown, not much variety in food. Felt like you’re in Cuba with the limited food variety and rundown resort. Our toilet barely worked, we asked for it to be fixed and they came and didn’t do anything. Requested for extra sheets and pillows they wouldn’t bring it, took the tip but didn’t bring the requested items. To be honest, for a resort that is highly rated online it was not great. We’ve gone to others which are much better than this place. We will not be returning to Occidental Xcaret again, I wish we got some sort of compensation for all those inconveniences. Even the a la carte was terrible, meat was super hard it was inedible.
