If you are an american travelling to the Dominican Republic, DO NOT STAY at the Occidental Grand all inclusive resort. Maybe its different in Europe, with some having no air conditioning and being able to deal with it, well this resort has no air conditioning in any of the restaurants. So you sit there and eat and sweat it out... more

We stayed at The Royal Club section of this resort from 8/5-8/19. We have stayed at other occidental RC's and this was just as good.I do understand the frustration that is expressed in the reviews by those who stayed at this resort but not in the RC. FOOD- overall the food in the resort leaves a lot to be desired,... more

My biggest worry before arriving to this resort was whether or not it would be clean. Going to another country and based on what i had heard from friends who frequently go on all inclusive vacations i had prepared myself for the worst. To my surprise when we walked into our room it was more then ok!! It was great... more

My boyfriend and I stayed there Aug 2-9, 2008. Our room was horrible - smelled like mildew (could tell where there was a leak and they did a poor job fixing the wall) and it was fillthy (especially the bathroom). We asked for a new room as soon as we got there and they told us there were none available.... more

If you are thinking about going to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic- to the Occidental resort, my advice is to find yourself a different destination. I have been to many developed and undeveloped countries and by far this was my worst experience of any resort. If you are the type that needs specifics read on, those we would take the word... more

We stayed at the Ociddental for four nights from July 31-Aug 4, 2008, and practically starved the entire time. The buffets were dirty and the servers were rude at every restaurant. They didn't seem to care about the tips. We ordered five fajitas at the "Mexican restaurant" for five people, and they served us 2 fajitas with hardly anything on... more

My partner and I just got back from the Occidental Grand in Punta Cana...I wish I was still there! Again, like many other people, some of the reviews on Trip Advisor scared me half to death! But you will have a good time at this hotel. We stayed in the Premium Club with Air Transat. It's nice because they bring... more

Weather was very hot! Pools were like steambaths. A/C didn't work in room, bed was broken, - had to change. We were traveling with several family members and were housed in different buildings. Drinks were very watered down - very big on daiquiri's and not much else. Wine at meals was terrible. Buffet offered choices - don't eat the meat... more

After reading all the negative reviews about the Occidental Grand in Punta Cana, I was hesitant. But it turned out to be a great vacation. It got off to a rocky start when we arrived at the resort, as they had overbooked, so had to stay at the Grand Pallidium next door for 2 nights. The Occidental took care of... more

Re: Occidental Grand Flamenco Punta Cana Just returned from our 6 day vacation to Punta Cana. We have traveled quite a bit through out the years and this was the first vacation that I was disappointed with. The staff was not friendly at all they all walked with a chip on their shoulders. The staff at the buffet were ok... more
