Loved our stay at the Occidental
Beautiful property with so much to do. It is so big and spread out that you never feel like it is overly crowded. The animals are fun to see and there is so much variety of food options. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Carlos was always so helpful and made you feel at home.

WOULDN’T STAY HERE AGAIN EVEN IF YOU PAID US TO!
⭐ 1 Star – Deeply Disappointing Experience Our stay at Occidental Xcaret was extremely disappointing and nowhere near what you would expect from an “all-inclusive” resort. First, the service was noticeably lacking. Staff were generally unhelpful and indifferent, and there was zero flexibility or accommodation for a late check-out, even when the resort was not busy. We felt rushed out rather than valued as guests. The amenities were poor and outdated. The overall design of the resort feels old and neglected, and the rooms were lackluster, worn, and far from comfortable. This is not a property that feels refreshed or well maintained. The biggest issue by far was the food. It was so bad that we ended up eating in town every single night, which completely defeats the purpose of booking an all-inclusive resort. Limited variety, poor quality, and unimpressive flavors across the board. Calling this place an “all-inclusive” is misleading. Between the subpar food, weak amenities, and lack of service, it simply doesn’t deliver on the promise. Overall, this resort fell short in almost every category. We would not return even if we were offered credit, even if it was free, that’s how bad it is. We would strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you want quality service, good food, or a true all-inclusive experience.

Occidental review
Overall, I had a very enjoyable time staying at the occidental. The resort was very clean and included many different activities, both physical and entertainment that made the stay so fun. The food was decent but the staff really brought the energy and made it a great experience.
