    Wonderful service

    I loved my experience at occidental. My favorite part of my stay was the amazing service from Adina who was our waitress. She was extremely friendly, personable, and attentive always checking in with me and my friends. I highly recommended seeking her out when coming for meals at the restaurant buffet langosta. You will not be disappointed!

    Great hospitality!

    The resort is amazing! We truly enjoyed the hospitality that Adina (waitress from the buffet langosta) was amazing! We had a baby with us and right when she saw us walking in she would have our table with a high chair ready for our baby! She would bring our coffees to our table! Alex the omelette chef was also awesome he remembered our order from the first day and when we would walk in he would give us a thumbs up to let us know that he would start making our omelettes! Overall this trip was amazing! Can’t wait to come back!
