My boyfriend and I are VERY low maintenance. I read the reviews and thought we would be fine and for the most part we were. The grounds are lovely and the resort is RIGHT on the beach! The rooms were very plain but clean. We stayed in the older part of the hotel in the "middle grade" room called the... more

I stayed in this hotel in May 2007 as my first ever all-inclucive vacation, with my boyfriend. It is a beautiful hotel with lots of trees and greenery. There were lots of other young couples there. All of the rooms are fairly close to the beach, bar service was great, as the week progressed, there was more alcohol in the... more

My wife and I booked a trip through Skyauction to Occidental Gran. After booking it we did more research and started to get discouraged by all the negative reviews and some of the pictures that'd been posted (like close ups of rust spots, or cracked floors, etc). So that served to lower our expectations, but we determined to make the... more

On arrival, I was told that we were given rooms in the newest and nicest part of the hotel!!! When we got to the room, it smelt... more

I want to say that it was not a good time. The service provided by the hotel was not good. Furthermore, we parked our car in the hotel and the next day the car had a problem. The hotel responsed to this was: that the responsabilty belongs to the customer and not to the hotel even though it was parked... more
