    Customer Reviews for Occidental Grand Xcaret:

        Had a great time in Occidental Xcaret, although very glad we upgraded to the Royal package. Weather terrific, and the ambience, and scenery round the resort was unbelievable... At the royal, they have huge cabanas like huge double beds in front of the sea - and they are easy to get hold of. Cocktails and frozen drinks beautifully made, and service impeccable... Room was great, and very spacious. Food choice was great, and we tried most of the restuarants. We had picked the spring break in canada so the resort was packed with children, but very few in the Royal part, so we had great quiet time.. Only criticism, was that the check in and check out was not very seamless... But we may just have picked the wrong time for that..... Anyway, main point is that we had a fabulous week, and excellent value.

        Would recommend the Occidental Grand Xcaret had a great time did 7 nights fully inclusive lots of different restaurants, bars and pools, a different place to go to every day, lots of various animals running about which was amazing very clean and the rooms were also of very good standard. Had the week just over easter and the weather was fantastic, only criticism is no free wi fi (you can pay for it of course) and just be careful make sure you book your transport to and from the Airport in advance to book when you arrive at the airport is very expensive as we found out! Would definitely return!
