"We recently stayed at Occidental at Xcaret Destination and overall had a really enjoyable experience.
The property itself is absolutely stunning—one of the most lush, jungle-like resort settings you could ask for. The wildlife was incredible and truly sets this place apart. We had monkeys visiting our balcony daily, which was amazing to watch. If you enjoy nature and wildlife, this resort is hard to beat—but if that’s not your thing, this may not be the place for you.
The pools were great, always clean and relaxing, and the entire resort has a very natural, immersive feel. The staff across the board were kind, friendly, and very helpful. One employee, Moses, really stood out as exceptional and went above and beyond to make our stay better.
Our room was nice and comfortable, housekeeping did a fantastic job, and the minibar was always well stocked. The bars were also excellent—service was quick and always came with a smile.
The only downside was the food, which was just okay overall. That said, the pizza restaurant was outstanding—honestly better than most pizza places in the U.S.
Check-in could definitely use some improvement, as the process felt slower than it should be.
All in all, this is a beautiful resort with a unique jungle atmosphere, great service, and unforgettable wildlife experiences."
