The property was just ok. The pool areas were dirty and the loungers were all on top of each other. There was no room in bewtween. There are several restaurants on site, however, men have to wear pants to enter. Women and children can wear shorts. My husband didnt bring pants so we were stuck eating at the same places. The food was ok. We were tired of it after 2 days. The lagoon area was probably the best part. No beach area. The animals on ground were nice. The rooms were comfy. Nothing special. The entertainment was boring. Would not stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Xcaret Occidental. We stayed in a Jr Suite and the extra few dollars were well worth it. The Jr Suite has a sitting area in addition to the basic bedroom. The resort offers easy access to the Xcaret Park and is an easy 5 minute walk from the hotel lobby. The hotel offers a very nice manmade, protected sea water lagoon with an overlooking open-air restaurant on one side and a bar on the other. In addition there several pools interspersed around the guest buildings with ample seating and towel service. The a la carte restaurants were excellent. We also appreciated the shuttles that ran continuously to the beach and back to the lobby and rooms. On the downside, the air conditioning in out room had a hard time keeping up with the August heat. The refrigerator did nit keep drinks cold; only coolish. The shower sink did not drain. In general, the rooms were a bit worn. The buffets were ok, i was able to find something to eat, but many of the offerings were like stews. I recommend the “made to order” stations. The Pizza restaurant and Paco’s Tacos were pretty good. Breakfasts were all pretty good. Lastly, the staff was having a competition to sell vacation packages. 25 weeks for some undisclosed price. It got to be annoying and i found myself actively avoiding making eye contact with staff. All said, it was a good experience, but not perfect. But, for the price I recommend it and may actually go back again with extended family.

This second time coming to this resort. Once again, it was amazing. We love the private entrance to Xcaret and closeness to the other theme parks in the area. One thing we wish changed was how late the activities centre closes. It closes at 5, and with most our activities taking up the full day we missed out on the ping pong table and the courts. But other than that, the food was delicious, staff friendly and helpful, space is gorgeous and beach nice and big.

This property looks ideal… it’s huge (great right?) wrong. There’s like 3 signs on the property giving directions to get to different places. I stayed lost 75 percent of the time just getting from my room to a place to eat. Lost going back … lost going to the pool. You think it’s a resort like waiters come pool side to take ur order for food or drinks (since it’s all inclusive) not the case. No service at the pool whatsoever no food allowed it’s ridiculous , the food is worse than bad. Every single category they had was bland over cooked just plain awful. I was starving. No room service, no microwaves in the rooms. Ur not allowed to take ur left overs to ur room, they rather throw the food away. The property is sooooo far from anything u have to pay a taxi 30 usd to get down town n 30 usd back to get a decent meal. This place was awful all around. Not to mention they had construction going on and it was sooooo expensive, there is no beach

This was our second time at the property. We came here because the first time there were lots of pool activities all day long, it was super fun for families, etc. This time around we still had tons of fun but there were definitely less activities (and they only last for ten to fifteen minutes) and the daily shows etc weren't as lively and fun. The last time we can there was a big weekend market, tequila tastings, etc. This time there were three booths and that was it. The hotel was still great, we enjoyed our stay and the staff are phenomenal but it was lacking a bit in activities and entertainment.

The staff makes this place and the experience super. Conveniently located at Xcaret and with tons of things and to do and places to be. The best was the beach area but again, the staff was very pleasant and attentive. I even forgot my bag (with wallet, passports) on my way to airport, and one of their staff member went above and beyond to locate me, called and saved the date.

The facility is a very nice place to stay. However, I had a few issues with the food, especially the breakfast, which was quite lacking. There weren’t many food options, though the 'make your own egg' section was excellent. Overall, the food was good, and we tried all the options. My personal ranking of the cuisines would be: seafood first, followed by Asian, Italian, tacos, pizza, and lastly, the steakhouse. Unfortunately, the steakhouse didn’t meet my expectations, and I wish we had skipped it.The entertainment was very good, especially the dancing chicken. However, I do have one major complaint: the room service. We called three times for toothpaste, and although they promised to bring it to us, we never received any throughout our stay. Additionally, it was very difficult to reach the front desk, as it usually took four or more attempts before someone picked up.
