Les B wrote a review Yesterday
We had a great time, the rooms were immaculate, and I wanted to buy the bed! They keep all the grounds and pools in excellent condition. I decided to bring a beach umbrella that fits inside my suitcase(amazon) as there is not much shade on the beach, just palm trees. It was a must-have, so many people asked where we got it. It was mostly easy to get beach chairs but be there before ten. The beach vendors were polite, not pushy, and great to talk to. Buy a massage from Nelson, a great guy. They seem to cater more for the locals as the buffet for lunch near the beach for three days in the week was hamburgers and not much else, but from Thursday to Sunday, it was excellent, but a lot more people. Ala carte restaurants are hard to get, but we got three. Forget the seafood restaurant as it's one day a week and always fully booked, again catering for the locals. The main Buffet was always good, but busy. We finished our meal before we got wine or beer a few times. The main bar was small, and they could smile a little more, but overall we had a fantastic time at this resort. …

Let me start by saying thank you Occidental punta cana team for making our family vacations become memorable. Their staff, their management is the one who makes this company become successful. I was in the hospitality industry for many years and I had lots of experience in this business. It's not easy to please everyone. But oh my goodness. People here work so hard to make sure guests are happy and get what they need. For the price that I paid, I can't complain. Food and drinks are included. The pool are huge and clean. The lobby is so wide open and gorgeous. Please make sure you tip your servers. Due to Covid, some facilities are closed but I understand. We just enjoyed our relaxation and family company. Outstanding service.

Our biggest complaint during our stay was the buffet restaurant. Always very difficult to get service, we felt like we were invisible most of the time. Difficult to get water, wine, beer or coffee. Food variety was also deceiving, not enough meat choices, always pork chops every day. The fish they served did not taste good, very cheap. The soups however were most of the time very tasty and good. Also, although we were supposed to get 4 à la carte restaurants during our stay, only 3 were offered to us because the others were not open certain days of the week. Not a bad resort, but keep your expectations low.

Good for a week of doing nothing. The buffet is always the same, more variety would be good. A bit understaffed but seems to be the case everywhere else. The site is very clean, numerous pools, great beach!

Average at best. You truly do get what you pay for. Food quality is decent. Could not get reservations at alacarte restaurants without doing a lot of finagling. Frequent language barrier with servers, bartenders, housekeeping. Locals "invade" the resort Friday evening and all day Saturday. Tip: If you need or want anything.... see Dany at the front entrance. Awesome guy that truly makes things happen!!!

Occidental Punta Cana is the worst resort I’ve been to in DR. We travel here often and stayed at the nicest resorts but also many average too. This was terrible. Food was barely edible. Over crowded and over booked day passes made for waits to get into crowded buffets with sub par food. Lack of drinks and bar service. Staff was nice but they don’t make the resort rules. You typically get what you pay for…didn’t expect 5star but this was HORRIBLE value for money. Don’t make the same mistake

Beautiful hotel. We had booked an ocean front view room but due to hurricane damaged, it was not available. The hotels upgraded us to royal level, to compensate, which was really greatly appreciated. The staff was very friendly from checking in to check out. The pool was clean, room was clean dining area very clean and inviting. Food was adequate, it filled our belly every day. Beach was weedy on shore due to hurricane, which is understandable. We really enjoyed our stay and due recommend this hotel.

- Horrible staff service in the restaurants - Room toilet did not work for 2 days - Most staff don't know basic English - They allow TONS of LOCALS to book at that property and it ruined the atmosphere for guests. - Food is below average.

The resort is gorgeous and a nice resort; however, no one spoke English. We were hung up on multiple times by different services with a response of “I don’t know English”. When we brought several issues we had to the manager the manager did absolutely nothing and did not understand the problem. We upgraded to the royal level (they’re top tier) but were only able to enjoy may 25% of the amenities bc of the room location. Vendors are extremely pushy with trying to sell items and staff seemed extremely unhappy with life. The restaurants are impossible to get into (unless you planned it weeks in advance of checking in) and the food was just ehh. I also had never been to an all inclusive that did not have someone to get food at any time. From 1030-1230PM and 330-730PM there is no food available. The pizza place that was open ran out of half the ingredients and the taco place was never open. Staff only took extra care of you if you tipped for everything. …
