My fiancee and I had an amazing vacation!!! Out of all the places i have traveled to, the "One Happy Island" by far surpases anywhere else. We stayed at the Occidental as Grand Members, which is totally worth the investment. The staff truly makes you feel like royalty. From our housekeeper to our bartenders and everyone in between.

I traveled to Grand Occidental from June 1st to the 5th. Upon arrival my group of 7 was ushered to the back room for "check in" along with another group of 6 people. The room had cold refreshments and cold cuts while we waited for the rooms. After they collected out information we were told that they were overbook and... More

We stayed at the Occidental Aruba in June 2013. Check in was a mess. They put everyone checking in a back room and then sorted through paperwork to find your reservations. Room was not ready till after 4 pm and Room Service Supervisor was very rude and said room would not be ready. Food is very average compared to other... More

Great vacation. Centrally located amoung the other resorts, restaurants and attactions. I would recommend it. The meals were good. The only complaint I would have is the cold tile floor, wish i had a rug to step on to in the morning. The front desk tried to find us an upgrade since it was our aniversary and although they were...

really good place to rest. I had a problem in my room but the answer was inmediately they fix it and give us a plus access to Royal Club services. People is very kind and the attitude outstanding. THe food is good but should vary the buffet from one day to another. Rooms are in good condition clean and confortable.... More

We enjoyed OG Aruba tremendously. The all-inclusive plan was very convenient. Pool and swim-up bar were awesome. Beach AH-Mazing! The location cannot be beat. Located smack dab in the middle of the "High Rise" area of Eagle Beach and with a Casino and theater on site as well as multiple restaurants, you can't go wrong with the OC Aruba.

Service and location make the Occidental a brilliant place to stay on Aruba. From the moment we checked in, Veronica and all the girls at our Royal Club check in were exceptional with everything we needed. Fanny and Avery were outstanding for every meal we had at the Royal Club restaurant and made the holiday so peaceful. The location is... More

My husband and I stayed at the occidental for our honeymoon. We chose this place because it was an all-inclusive and they had the option to upgrade to the royal club package which seemed like a good value. To be honest, upon arrival we were a little underwhelmed. The place seemed a bit cramped and a tad outdated (in the... More

I just returned from a seven day stay this past Thursday, June 13th, 2013, never wrote a review, and thought I would for the first time, hoping I could help others with my experience. We asked for a pool side view, although our room faced the pool, it was behind two walls and atop a loud air conditioning unit. The... More
