Now, I know many people come on here and write pages and pages about how the resort they stayed at was 'so terrible' because they were not happy about one tiny thing. I have to say that reading the mixed reviews about this hotle before i left got me very worried. Once i got there, I was shocked at how... more

April was awsome in the resort. I wrote a great review. We stayed in unit 24. Great room. We hadsuch a great time in April my sister and I decided to go back with donations in June of 09. Our visist with other families who live there was amazing. The resort however was a completely different expieriance than in April.... more

We read all the reviews before going, and I was on a personal mission to report back on the accuracy of what I had read. Here you go: Food: the buffets have a big variety of items; fresh, well-presented; healthy choices are available. There is a wait during peak times at some of the stations - no big deal, really.... more

I don't know what all the negativity is about. Been to D.R. quite a few times and this is my 2nd time back to the Occidental & was a little apprehensive about this visit, with all the mixed reviews. Check in & check out was a breeze (ILLYANA was great) The food was terrific, great variety. Drinks are good.., sometimes... more

I did not know that these people that recommended it to us were about 60years old each and just stuck to the bar of the hotel the whole time they were there. First we get there, check in and the room was dirty. The... more

We wanted to take our daughter (and her friend )to a very nice Caribbean resort as her graduation gift. I thought the all-inclusive places were the way to go as we had never done them before and thought it would be worth a try. Well, our travel agent told us this place was the best buy for our money, she... more

I would return in a minute. There were minor inconviences but I have those at home. If you are a foodie, this may not be the resort for you. If you have to be entertained nonstop, this is not the resort for you. It was near perfect for my husband and I. He had knee replacement surgery 3 months ago,... more
