The staff at this Occidental have no clue that they’re in the hospitality industry. Hands down the WORST service I’ve ever had at an “all inclusive”. From the lies, the “butler” that was completely useless, to the Guest Service that was non existent; I would steer clear of this resort. There are way better options in the Dominican.

We enjoyed our 11 night stay as a party of 9, with 4 adults and 5 kids (12-17). The grounds are beautiful and the beach is clean! Our rooms were cold, clean and well laid out. We loved how there are multiple pool options, and food options. Our concierge, José Ignacio Franco, was awesome!! We celebrated a birthday while there and he had our room decorated, a custom cake made and a bottle of champagne ready for our celebration! The bartenders were fun and made the pool area a blast! Yessie de la Rosa was so fun and made our drinks perfectly! I would go back just to see her!! The food was the most disappointing part of our stay along with the quality of the alcohol. Some of the servers were unfriendly and a few times rude. Overall I would give it 4 stars!!

We took all inclusive. Better side: 1. Quick checkin. 2. Pools 3. Pool bar 4. Buffet open through majority of the day and some other restaurants open for night 5. Good service Improvements needed: 1. Very poor food across restaurants 2 jacuzzis in main pool don’t have hot water and sometimes they don’t even switch it on 3. Pool bars run out of liquor often 4. No good entertainment in evening, in other resorts they have live performances which are as good as professional shows. Here they played videos on large screen. It sucked. Only one good singer performed. 5. Activities were minimal. Given the food, entertainment, activities and drinks are important, we felt we overpaid.

Occidental Punta Cana had the perfect mix of spring breakers and adults and families. The buffet food was decent and there were other options like a pizza shop and taco shop along with all the restaurants. The beach is a short 2 minute walk and the pools are gorgeous. Night life was fun and and beach days were fun where the hotel offered things like banana boats and parasailing for an affordable price. The staff makes booking things like excursions very easy as well. I would recommend staying at the resort for anyone looking for a fun affordable trip.

This was my second stay at Occidental Punta Cana. The rooms and general infrastructure of the property are good overall. Pros: Expedia has a butter service for its members which is a nice touch. He was always willing to assist and tried his best to improve the experience. Entertainment staff were fun, polite and worked hard to make you have a fun time. There were not too many people trying to sell you tours or souvenirs as in many other resorts. Cons: Quality of food and variety is borderline decent. Nothing especially good, many things bad. This is a barcelo resort and barcelo liquor was limited. How can a resort run out of ice on multiple occasions. If you will have a foam party why not put more servers in the pool bar at this peak period. Instead of having fun you were queueing for drinks for long periods. The price at this hotel is comparable for example with the Royalton which has 14 restaurants ( no reservations needed) with spectacular food quality and options, or Bahia Grand Bavaro which for the same price better food and service. The wait staff seemed sad or robotic, not engaging or sometimes a bit rude when getting drinks or being served at the restaurants. There are a few wonderful staff who do have a smile and willing to serve.

The dining and bar staff could use some training. Efficiency could be improved. It was difficult to get service. Staff would acknowledge our request and leave and never see them again.

Very nice resort, first time in the Dominican so not sure how it stacks up against other resorts there. Food was good and always a nice variety. We did the steakhouse and the Italian for the a la carte. Steakhouse was excellent, don’t expect prime AAA Canadian beef and you won’t be disappointed. Italian was a little underwhelming, very small portion size and not much for taste. Luckily they have a late night pizza joint so we hit that up later on. The only real complaint and maybe it’s just my own ignorance but I did find the language barrier a lot higher than most other resorts I’ve visited (Cuba and Mexico). Other than that I would recommend his resort to anyone looking for a reasonably priced vacation resort

Liked the different pool options and the entertainment. Our room and the resort were clean. The tacos and pizza were our favorite food, but the restaurants were pretty good too. Buffet was ok. Most bars had long lines and drinks came SLOW, but they were starting! Our room did not have hot water and it took 3 phone calls and then walking to the front desk to finally get someone to come look at it. Not many workers seemed to be in any hurry to serve you. The beach is always windy, but water is beautiful. Wish the solicitors would leave you alone. Did not like that. Overall a nice experience, but some room for improvement.

Awesome resort. Amazing shows each night and during the day. Food is ok for all inclusive they actually change it up from night to night. The restaurants are awesome. Staff were extremely nice. The only thing I disliked are the constant staff trying to sell you or sign you up for timeshare. They don’t stop.
