Quiero compartir mi experiencia sincera en el Hotel Occidental Xcaret para ayudar a quienes estén considerando hospedarse aquí.

Lo mejor de nuestra estadía fue, sin duda, el desayuno buffet: mucha variedad, comida fresca y de excelente calidad.

Lamentablemente, el resto de la experiencia no cumplió con nuestras expectativas. El servicio al cliente fue deficiente; en varias ocasiones el personal fue poco amable y no mostró interés en ayudar.

El sistema de reservas para los restaurantes tampoco nos gustó. Solo permiten reservar cada tres días y algunos restaurantes permanecen cerrados, por lo que las opciones para cenar son muy limitadas.

Otro inconveniente fue el transporte interno. Solo cuentan con un vehículo para trasladar a los huéspedes y, para la cantidad de personas hospedadas, no es suficiente. Incluso esperamos cerca de 20 minutos porque el vehículo se quedó sin gasolina.

También hay cargos adicionales que considero excesivos. Por ejemplo, si pierdes la tarjeta de las toallas, debes pagar $25 USD por reemplazarla.

Además, aunque el hospedaje incluye acceso al Parque Xcaret, las bebidas dentro del parque no están incluidas y deben pagarse aparte, algo que muchos desconocen.

En resumen, las instalaciones son bonitas y el desayuno excelente, pero el servicio, la organización y los costos adicionales hicieron que nuestra experiencia fuera decepcionante. Personalmente, no volvería a hospedarme aquí.

El cóctel de bienvenida nunca lo dieron y eso que era un viaje familiar de 6 personas. El tour de bienvenida donde te muestran el hotel y te explican cómo funciona tampoco. El personal del lobby bien atento a la hora del check-in pero nunca nos presentó al concerje que nos ayudaría a orientarnos mejor, por lo que el primer día estuvimos desorientados por completo. Los restaurantes especializados es necesario reservarlos con tiempo porque las reservas se agotan fácilmente y necesitas hacer la reserva hasta 2 días antes. El servicio de la habitación es excelente la verdad no hay quejas, pero la bufet no tiene el mismo servicio, la silla para mi bebé tenía que salir yo a buscarla porque en repetidas ocasiones no llegaba y los meseros te atienden dos o tres al mismo tiempo, no sabes a quien pedirle ayuda ni a quien darle propina. El hotel en general está acogedor y muy estratégico ya que está bien cerca de los parques. Pero si falta un poco de información por parte del personal.

We had gone to this hotel back in 2019 and went back this year and we were a bit disappointed with the quality of the hotel overall. The first day we got there it took them 4 hours to deliver our suitcases to our room and when we went to check in with the concierge they told us no one told them what room we were even in. The food was not great, not many great choices to chose from and I guess you could say the waiting staff at restaurants were okay. There were time where we had to go get our own refills at the main bar due to them ignoring our tables. All the bar drinks were delicious though and the bar staff was all amazing! I was definitely not expecting to be disappointed with going this time and overall would give the stay a 6/10 :(

The resort itself is absolutely beautiful. The location is stunning, and I loved the overall layout of the property. It has so much potential and makes a great first impression.

Unfortunately, the service did not match the beauty of the resort. From the front desk to the concierge and even the waitstaff, the customer service was consistently disappointing. Staff members were often unfriendly, unhelpful, and inattentive, which really took away from the experience.

I’ve stayed at several all-inclusive resorts in Cancun, and this was by far the most disappointing. Our room was not very clean upon arrival, and because of the resort’s layout, everything felt very spread out, requiring a lot of walking. Several bars were closed during our stay, the alcohol tasted watered down, and the buffet food lacked quality and variety.

Overall, while the property itself is gorgeous, the poor service, cleanliness issues, disappointing food and drinks, and lack of attention to guests made this a resort I would not choose to stay at again.

Our experience at this all-inclusive resort was extremely disappointing and fell far below expectations.

One of the biggest issues was the food quality. The food was consistently poor, and my children struggled to find anything they enjoyed eating during our stay. For a family vacation, this was a major concern and greatly impacted our overall experience.

Additionally, several amenities and restaurants that were advertised were either closed or unavailable during our visit. We specifically chose this resort based on the amenities offered, so it was frustrating to discover that many of them could not be used.

Our room was also uncomfortable due to the air conditioning not functioning properly. The room remained warm throughout our stay despite requesting service on two separate occasions. Unfortunately, the issue was never resolved.

We also requested an extra bed, but it was never delivered. As a result, my son was forced to sleep on the floor, which is completely unacceptable for a resort that promotes quality guest accommodations.

Due to the combination of poor food, unavailable amenities, unresolved maintenance issues, and lack of responsiveness from staff, we ultimately decided to check out early. This was not the relaxing family vacation we had planned, and we left feeling disappointed and frustrated.

I would not recommend this resort based on our experience.

I recently stayed at Occidental Xcaret and unfortunately left disappointed.

One of the biggest issues was the amount of bugs around the resort. I was bitten by an ant, which was extremely painful. To be fair, the staff was very kind and assisted me right away, which I appreciated.

The resort grounds are beautiful, but I noticed bugs everywhere and many of the pools had leaves and debris floating in them, making them feel poorly maintained at times.

The food was another letdown. Most meals lacked flavor and felt very bland. For an all-inclusive resort, I expected much better quality and variety.

Another frustrating part of the experience was the restaurant reservation system. Guests have to wake up around 7:00 AM every morning to secure reservations, and this was never clearly explained to us at check-in. Had we known, it would have saved a lot of confusion and frustration.

Lastly, we were celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday during our stay, and despite mentioning it, there was no special accommodation or acknowledgment made. It would have been nice to see a little effort to make the occasion feel special.

The staff members we interacted with were friendly and helpful, but overall the resort did not meet our expectations, and I would not choose to stay here again.

Resort is gorgeous but the food was not the best. We have been at the property for 4 days and we were tired from food on day one. We went to steak and mexican restaurants which were not great either. We feel as we had better Mexican food in the USA. Also, my boyfriend and I got food poisoning. He is still recovering three days later. Even though the food was not great the resort was nice. We enjoyed pools, animals, ocean and nature. We also loved that it is very close to Xcaret. I just wish they would not serve food that could make us sick.

Not an ideal place to travel with a group. We were not able to get reservations for the restaurants. Which was a let down. The buffet was ok but sometimes you just want a sit down dinner.

The staffs focus was selling timeshares and the services they did provide were expensive. Tried to schedule a massage at the front desk and the cost was twice the price compared to going directly to the spa to book.

Planned transportation to go to Isla Mujeres and the people at the reception didn’t even look at my information and told me just to wait. I waited for 10 minutes than another gentleman came and asked me what I was waiting for and only then did I find out I had to wait in another area. My driver had been waiting there for 15 minutes. I am not a fan of being ignored.

Difficult to get change to tip staff. The only positive was the accessibility to drinking water.

I do not plan on visiting any Barcelo properties anytime soon.

The SALES pitches for TIMESHARE purchase NEVER end! Property is a RCI award winning site. They PUSH Expedia guests (they told us this to our face) very hard ‘cause it’s their one chance to sell TIMESHARE to them). The entire hotel staff approach is setup for them to funnel guests to their TIMESHARE pitches. Every building has a concierge desk - and from day they’re are helping you yes, but the sales pitch follows. If you expect to be left alone, forget it. VERY AGGRESSIVE Gorgeous area. Huge hotel property and always work being done we saw but Tim’s are old and worn out. A lot of mold in main buffer dining. Trash left everywhere. Over booked and lots of guests - Wildlife everywhere- Iguanas are cool until they crap in the pool you’re kids are swimming in and it’s not cleaned up!

**There is also a coffee station that requires an additional charge, which was disappointing considering the overall price of the resort. For families, there are very few food options for children, and there is no dedicated area where kids can get snacks between meals.**

Once we arrived the staff was slow and didn’t give us too much information on anything. Then once you arrived at your room they try to sell you super expensive Xcaret park tickets and if you don’t buy them then they won’t talk to you anymore. Also be aware that some people will stereotype you, meaning if you speak Spanish they will treat you a certain way thinking you won’t tip them well. Also be careful getting on the buggies because they will worry about flirting with women instead of your and your families safety. I will say that Ramon, Arturo at the snack bar were really nice and always helpful they are welcoming and will get you anything you need. In the breakfast buffet Marbella was amazing and always helpful she always remembered our drink order from the previous day and was very nice and welcoming. Lastly Miguel in the pm Dinner buffet was the one of the best he was very welcoming nice always remembered our drink order and would get you anything I needed at anytime. Those four people made our trip enjoyable. Those are the people you want when you go to this resort.

The water pressure in the bathroom and toilets was very low. It took forever to flush especially for first-floor rooms. My coffee machine got a crack but was replaced very quickly after I told them. The restaurant booking was terrible, and we were also told not to take towels out of the resort to go on an excursion. Well, the food was not impressive and was practically the same every day at the non-reserved restaurant. The nature around the resort is what makes it special. Poor TV channel choice and we couldn't use Netflix or YouTube. Overall, it was okay.

The food offered plenty of variety, and we always found something we enjoyed. The pools were great, the drinks were consistently good, and there were activities throughout the day for both adults and kids. One of our favorite parts was simply walking around the resort and enjoying the atmosphere.

The location was fantastic, and the overall value for an all-inclusive vacation was hard to beat.

We made a lot of great memories and are already talking about coming back.

We also asked for small towels. They told us they did not have many, but we never got them. This was really frustrating.

We've stayed here three times since 2003. This is a very nice all-inclusive resort, with a variety of activies for all ages. The food in the main buffet was very good. (It's challenging preparing food on a mass scale that appeals to everyone, and I think they do an excellent job.) In addition to the buffet, there are smaller \"specialty\" restaurants. These are better suited to couples and families with older children, I think. There is a small beach that is netted off from the ocean. This proved to be a major advantage on this occassion because just about every other beach in the Cancun area was blanketed with sargassum. There are three large swimming pools. (One change we noted on this trip is that the pools are now saltwater. In the past, they were freshwater.) One other change is that they DO have WiFi in the rooms. The description that Expedia provides is not correct. And if you are willing to spend 30-45 minutes listening to a sales pitch for a time share on the property, they'll give you a discount on some local attractions. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

Second trip. Went March of 2025 for wife's 50th. This place is very large. Some things we have discovered. You cannot get hard liquor drinks until 11. Buy bottles for your room if you are a vacay early drinker. Always Pepsi and sprite mixers restocked daily in the mini fridge. You can get unlimited mimosas at the morning buffets.
You will get service no matter if you tip or not. You will get noticed and attention if you tip. Some well placed tips are advisable, especially if you drink. The resort does not have a change service. You can get the vallets to break bills for you, but it's very hit or miss. Best bet, bring a cache of 1s, 5s, and a few 10s. Trying to get change in the resort stores is like pulling teeth, and a snickers will cost you like $7.
Beach chairs will get saved quickly. Just keep your towel and go save a prime spot early.
The lobby buffet by the theater has somewhat better food and working salt shakers. No beach ambiance, but it is what it is.
None of the specialty restaurants will have you see struck, but it is nice to get out and dress up. Steak house was my least favorite. Thin and tasteless.
The ocean fed swimming pool below the beach buffet is great for feeding and filming fish, snorkeling, relaxing. It's also adult only.
Overall, love this place. Btw, our room on 19c, blower fan on high and ceiling fan on high even had my polar bear wife turning it down. Oh, slated door on bathroom. Not for shy poopers.

El hotel está muy bien cuidado, me gustó mucho sus areas verdes, están llenas de vida silvestre, está a varios pasos de el parque xcaret. La comida y bebidas muy buenas, aunque conseguir reservaciones para los restaurantes es imposible.

Our experience at the Occidental at Xcaret Royal Level was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff and management set the tone with their professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. Every team member we interacted with went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and valued, and it’s clear that the leadership here sets incredibly high standards for service.

The Royal Level service truly elevates the entire stay. Whether it was personalized attention, quick responses to any request, or the thoughtful touches throughout the resort, the service consistently exceeded expectations.

The food was outstanding across the board—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every meal felt like a highlight, and the variety ensured there was always something new to enjoy.

And of course, the grounds are absolutely stunning. The natural beauty of Xcaret combined with the resort’s lush landscaping creates a peaceful, breathtaking environment. Whether relaxing by the water, exploring the pathways, or simply enjoying the views, the entire area feels like a tropical paradise.

Overall, this resort delivers on every level: incredible staff, exceptional service, amazing management, delicious food, and a truly beautiful setting. We can’t wait to return.
Thanks to exceptional staff managed by Cynthia, Raquel and the entire Royal Level team.

My recent stay at Occidental at Xcaret Destination was disappointing, and unfortunately, I would not recommend this resort or return in the future.

One of the biggest issues was the staff’s attitude. Rather than being welcoming and helpful, many interactions seemed focused on selling a VIP membership. Every time we had a question or needed assistance, the conversation quickly turned into a sales pitch. Once we declined the membership, the concierge staff appeared to lose interest in helping us. We were often ignored, received unfriendly looks, and no longer felt valued as guests.

Another major frustration was the restaurant reservation system. Despite staying for five days, we were never able to secure reservations at the steakhouse or several of the other specialty restaurants. This was extremely disappointing, especially since dining options are an important part of an all-inclusive vacation.

The buffet food was also below expectations. The selection and quality were mediocre, and the overall dining experience did not meet the standards we anticipated for a resort of this caliber.

Overall, the lack of genuine customer service, constant pressure to purchase a VIP membership, difficulty accessing restaurants, and disappointing food made this a frustrating experience. I would not stay here again and cannot recommend this resort to others.
