I went there in June 2011 for my daughter's senior trip. The hotel was nice, however a little run down in some areas. My room was clean and very comfortable. The pools were great as was the beach. The only problem was the concierge which offers a free gift and then tries to sell a time share at all costs.... More

I visited the Occidental Grand Punta Cana Februaury 29 thru March 5. This place should be renamed Accidental instead because if you stay here you'll soon realize you accidentally chose the wrong resort for vacation. The place looks decent enough online; but dont be fooled. My friend and i stayed here and had our room entered from someone with a... More

I enjoyed my visit here. The staff were amazing, especially Irene (first club bartender) and Orquidia (members' area of buffet restaurant). the property was well kept, though it seems a bit older than its 12 years. Next time I come I will travel in Royal Club as the rooms are much nicer. I stayed in Building 18, which is for... More

The service and food were excellent.. The furniture in the room was old and needs to be updated.. The facility itself was excellent and for the price, it was a good deal; however, if the room furnishing were updated, I would have given an overall higher grade.. The staff was very friendly and helpful and overall I enjoyed my stay... More

The title of my review says it all - if this place wasn't awesome I wouldn't go back, theres plenty of other resorts in the area that you could visit but hopefully I can enlighten you on why Occidental is, and always has been my number 1! I really hope you take what people say on this site with a... More

I enjoy my time there every year. The beach and pools are great. The massages are great. The food is great. The rooms are nice. My only complaints are as follows: the beds are a little hard and the pillows are a bit flat. The lobby presents a great social environment, however, I've noticed that most of the guests who... More
