The rooms and hotel facilities are outdated and offer limited amenities. The breakfast buffet is excessively hot, lacking air conditioning or proper ventilation. There is often a shortage of staff, and food items are frequently unavailable or served briefly. The beach is not very suitable for swimming; I anticipated a better experience based on the images displayed on the website.

Bonito y pequeño hotel con una super playa. Comida mala pero por el precio pagado no se puede pedir más. En general muy bien es pequeño cómodo, bonito y cerca de los reefs de buceo.

Staywas excellent but just smaller property then we’re used to. Not a lot of activity’s

Very nice resort!

We were left to figure most things out ourselves. The food was sad and most of the time cold. The grounds are very spread out. Pretty sure I reserved an ocean side room…all we could see were trees and the next building. We signed up for the “glass bottom boat” snorkel excursion apparently that doesn’t actually mean the boat is glass bottomed. The staff was nice but not very helpful. The best part was the beach

The rooms were clean and the bed was actually very comfortable. The grounds were beautiful, well maintained amd taken care of. The staff was very friendly. The service was good, but very. The buffet at lunch was horrible. Options were small and didn't ever really look appetizing. Breakfast was decent. However, just because they open at a certain time doesn't mean everything will be available. Breakfast at 7:00, but you might want to wait until 7:30 if you want anything other than toast, fruit or yogurt. Dinners were decent. We probably won't come back and definitely wouldn't bring our young adult kids or other family here.

La verdad es que es un lugar bonito, la gente es atenta, la playa muy bonita, actividades rodas las noches, mucha variedad de comida, aunque esto último, lo de la comida si me quedo a deber, ya después del 3er día como que se siente muy repetitivo, aparte de que nos tocó la mala suerte de que esa semana que nos quedamos, no estaba abierto el restaurante de mariscos.

The pools could have been kept cleaner. The lunch buffet was ok.

Que me gustó: la playa tiene una playa muy bonita !!! Cero sargazo El hotel es viejo y las habitaciones no me gustaron aunque sea viejo la limpieza debería de ser un plus

Excelente for relaxing.

Rooms were cleaned and comfy! Staff was amazing!

El hotel está bien conservado, limpio y su personal es amable. Pero están muy limitados los horarios para el desayuno, comida y cena. Además de que no hay snacks todo el tiempo. La zona de la playa está alejada de las habitaciones y en la alberca casi no hay actividades. También, las actividades de noche son muy simples.

I just came back from this trip and it was amazing 😍 we wished we could stay more days, the staff is amazing, the propertyis well maintain and beautiful. We will definitely come back to occidental!

What you should pack unless you are a member: 1. washcloths (nope, they have them but they won’t give them to you). 2. straws - if you like them plastic, paper, or biodegradable (not a straw to be found; I got some from a local restaurant and brought them back to use). 3. snacks - there 2 times during the day when no food is served anywhere (between breakfast and lunch, then between lunch and dinner…you know during normal snack times). 3. patience - the staff will get to you when they get to you. 4. clothes - don’t bother bringing many because you will sweat the entire time and the only place with any noticeable air conditioning is your room. 5. a need for coffee that is not straight black coffee - there is a cappuccino machine that might work, but also might not, and you can order one from your table in the mess hall, but see #3. Some good things: 1. the little strip of ocean is nice despite no umbrellas, the water is lovely and not much seaweed because of the side of the island it is on. 2. you have to walk a good distance to get anywhere but the paths are clean and very organic with the natural landscape, with a lot of trees overhead as shade. 3. there is a fridge in your room that will have bottled water everyday for you . 4. the diving is right there - like there beside the lunch buffet; you don’t have to go offsite at all. only one person working there but omg the massage was one of the best I have ever had in my life and spas are pretty much my hobby.

Immediate hidden fees. Food was subpar. Hard to make reservations at the restaurants.

Lo que más me gusto fueron las atenciones de todo el personal que trabaja en este hotel.

Food was ok.

Excelente destino

El buffet era repetitivo, todos los días lo mismo. Poca variedad, arrachera seca y dura. Pescado insípido.jugos demasiado azucarados, No había jugos naturales.

Everything was clean and beautiful grounds! The only thing I would improve would be food choices. But honestly, you get what you pay for and it’s a great value. I have never seen people work harder on groundskeeping in my life.
