    Under-rated and take negative reviews with a grain of salt or an outlier. Incredible value if you let it be.

    It’s 5 times here in a row. And this has been the best trip yet. It gets better each year. The Mexican/Yucatan people are the best! Say hi to Javier at the First Club and ask for the Patron Añejo y Grand Marnier margarita light on the simple sugar :-)

    Good place for family

    Occidental at xcaret is a good place for family to enjoy. Food is average, unless you go to the Oriental restaurant, that food was great. Expect to walk alot and bring an umbrella to shade you from the sun. One is provided in your room. All staff was very kind and attentive to our needs. If you love animals, great place to be as you will see monkeys, coatis, deers , iguanas and flamencos.

    Family trip

    The property and rooms are very nice. More options of children’s food would be good. Securing Direct routes to activities in Cancun prove difficult. Several more functioning ATM machines on the property are needed

    Best Resort! Must stay

    I have been several times to Cancun, Playa Del Carmen and also The Rivera Maya. Nothing beats this resort at all amazing food staff and entertainment. My family and I were not disappointed at all. Definitely giving this Resort a 10/10. Also something we loved is that all Xcaret Mexico. Xplor and Xelha are walking distance from Occidental At Xcaret.
