    The best jungle getaway in Playa del Carmen

    Occidental at Xcaret offers a beautiful jungle-style resort experience with lush pathways, abundant wildlife, and direct access to Xcaret Park. The pools are spacious, the beach area is relaxing, and the food options are varied. Staff are friendly and helpful, making the stay feel easy and enjoyable.

    Fair

    Our stay was very pleasant and the staff was very accommodating. Food was very good. Only drawback was the balcony we had which was basically unusable other than to dry towels on … too small

    I would suggest another resort

    The service was great, the food was just okay with the same options in all buffets everyday, no guacamole in sight which was very disappointing, the beach is small and manmade so you cannot look for shells or walk along it. The rooms were very comfortable and clean.

    Family Holiday Nov 2025

    Great stay for 11nights would highly recommend this Hotel for its Location didn't have to travel so far for xichen temple and Cenote trip. Also just the corner from Fiuego Explore and Coco Bongos which is well worth the trip is only about 20mins away.

    Exception service

    Andrea Caba was one of the concierge in building 22 during our stay there. She was always friendly and personable. Yet she really out did herself when she brought duct tape from her home for us to use to repair our suitcase. This saved us a trip to Walmart so we really appreciated this kind gesture. She refused to take any money although we were using her tape. We felt a strong connection to her by the time our vacation was over and we were sad to say good bye to her. We look forward to possibly reconnecting with her in the future.
