"Yes"

"I’ve been to many resorts in many countries, including a previous trip to Punta Cana, and I had never had as bad an experience as I did at the Occidental. We had to switch rooms 3 times during our stay due to a broken AC then a gas leak (which thankfully my friend noticed or who knows what would have happened if we slept in that room… 30 min to pack our stuff and we were both coughing) that made my clothing in the drawers and in the suitcase reek of gasoline and I had to wash everything twice when I came back home. The staff is unfriendly, esp the kitchen staff, except for one Esteban and the landscapers who would give us free coconuts. The food is absolutely terrible and on multiple night barely edible. I ate nothing but bread, cheese and crepes the entire time. The drinks were the worst I’ve had in any resort and the entertainment was mediocre except for circus night. The morning of my flight back home, I woke up with travellers diarrhea and almost had to skip my flight to go to the hospital but I held it together for the pure sake of wanting to get th heck out of the DR. Such a shame because my last time here made me love Punta Cana so much but this resort made my last experience there terrible. The only good thing about this resort was the beach which was absolutely gorgeous and this resorts only saving grace. "

"The staff at some of the restaurants were less than nice. Even sarcastic. The drinks at the swim up bar were VERY watered down. Everything on the resort (shopping) was highly overpriced. We felt we got priced gauged many times."

"The whole stay was great. Food at all the restaurant was great and the rooms where fantastic."

"Cuartos en mal estado deteriorados con fuerte olor a humedad , aire acondicionado ruidoso , las de limpieza no hacían las cosas bien las toallas en pésimas condiciones , rotas con mal olor a quemado y abombau al igual que las sábanas , la comida estaba regular los restaurantes abren a las 6:00 pm y ya a las 6:20 no tenían capacidad para anotar más personas, Pisina deteriorada también , en fin no lo recomiendo ."

"The room was not very clean, toilet and floor was dirty, but the hotel was fun overall. "

"The room was clean. "

"Room was nice, plenty of space for two adults two teens without getting a big suite. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We did have trouble with our bracelets getting into room the first night but after that no issues. Pool and beach seats do fill up fast, going out early to snag a seat seemed to be the norm, after first day we would go out early and then have breakfast at Panama or isla market right near pools. Also we sat in the sand one day as we didn’t see any chairs, within 5 minutes staff came over and got chairs for us! Honestly such friendly staff. Love the coffee shop open 24 hrs, easy to get coffee, water, juice, pastries or sandwiches. The beach is stunning! Even with red flags you can go in to your knees/waist and have fun in the waves. Water is beautiful and only saw seaweed one day. Tons of beach space and compared to some tropical beaches you don’t have to dodge a lot of vendors trying to sell stuff. I have seen reviews where you were pressured to sit in timeshare pitch but that never happened to us. Only word of advice for checkout is that if you charge anything to room you have to stand in a LONG line at other end of building ( not where you check in). If there are no charges you can do express checkout. So leave extra time or just pay by cc for any extras. Line moved faster than we thought though. All in all great time!"

"Cockroaches in the room , food not edible. Be prepared to go to the bathroom. Staff are rude, even when you tip them. Room was dirty lights and charging stations, Did not work.changed room three times. They did not care. "
