This was my first trip to the Maya Riviera region and, of course, the OGX. I have to say, my wife and I loved it. I'm a First Club member and my home resort is the Occidental Grand Aruba. I'm going to be making some relevant comparisons between the two resorts while providing a completely honest and objective review for... More

First off, I have stayed at several resorts in the Mayan Riviera. I stayed at the Occidental this time because the deal was too good to pass up ($86/person) and the Barcelo which I highly recommend was booked solid. It was fairly obvious from the onset that this hotel has a major occupancy problem -- hence the good price. There... More

Spent a week at OGX from May 3-10, 2012. We really had a great time. We booked with Proven choice Travel in Colorado. They are a wonderful, wonderful travel agancy. I would absolutley recommend them for your travel needs. I live 100 miles from the office but felt the personal service as if they were down the street. Ask for... More

My wife and I arrived home from the Occidental Grand Xcaret last Tuesday after a nine day stay and must say, what a great time we had. Having read reports of this resort before we left, we decided to ask for an upgrade to the Royal Club as soon as we arrived, but unfortunately there was no availability. We were... More

My wife and I stayed here May 4-10, 2012, for the second time. Our prior visit was in May, 2011.We had also previously stayed at Occidental Cozumel and Allegro Cozumel. This company does a great job at all of these resorts and Xcaret is their flagship in Mexico as far as we are concerned. Highest marks go to the staff,... More

The resort was beautiful, loved the landscaping & pathways. Everything was well maintained, clean, and everyone (resort staff) that we came in to contact with was friendly, welcoming, and seemed anxious to help us in any way that we needed. Pool areas were beautiful and nicest I've been at. Quality & variety of food was excellant at all of the... More

Overall had a great trip! My mother and I went for a 5 days. Just a couple tips: 1 - there is no beach at all. There is a little man made lagoon but other than that you can not go into the ocean. There is no beach to walk on. Ive been to may different resorts and this was... More

We stayed 4 nights in April 2012. We had a great time overall. The hotel is decent and a good value overall. I would not go back though. There are nicer places out there that are within our budget. Drinks: I must say the bartenders did not skimp on the booze and were very friendly. No complaints here. Food: The... More

If I could I would give it a 3.5 My family traveled here with another family and we really enjoyed it our kids were from the ages of 6-14. There was something for all to enjoy. Why I give it better than average: The dinning areas were very nice. Lunch or breakfast by beach or pool side was enjoyable. The... More
