I Had a terrific vacation. The meals were great and the rooms were outstanding. I really enjoyed this hotel. If you have the chance, book your vacation here. More

We went January 2012, there were 10 of us. The hotel is older and the bathrooms are in desperate need of remodeling, rest of the room is par with other hotels. The buffet has many choices there is something for everyone, the chocolate is the best i ever tasted. It was so windy at the beach we rearely sat there,... More

Travel times: Jan 21, 2012 – Jan 28, 2012 Travel booked with: Air Transat First time travellers to the Dominican Republic BEACH – The beach is beautiful, however, very crowded. As usual you have to wake up at 5 am to secure a beach chair. Unlike the other reviews, there isn’t a lot of seaweed – don’t forget you are... More

Let us begin by stating that we have missed the Royal Club, as we had not been here for the past 3 years. If you travel from Canada, you must book the Royal Club through Air Canada Vacations - no other travel company offers this luxury service.

This was the second time we stayed at an Occidental Hotel. We stayed here from January 21 to February 4, 2012. The hotel was well kept up and very clean. The workers were out every morning sweeping the walk ways, trimming the trees, and cleaning the pool. The rooms were very clean and modern (the bathrooms were a little outdated... More

This hotel has certainly received its share of mixed reviews - and maybe this one continues the trend... I had definitely lowered my expectations after reading some of the reviews, but my wife and I were looking for best value for money. After all, the beach, the sun, the warmth and the water are the same for a 5* as... More
