The resort looked really nice and the beaches and pool was nice excursions were nicely organized. The rooms could’ve been better and have more things fixed up, some people had blood in their rooms and one of there front doors didn’t lock or shut.
Decent Stay with Realistic Expectations – Good Value for the Right Traveler

??????½ out of 5 (???????? by Dominican Republic standards) The Occidental Caribe is a solid 3-star resort that becomes a very pleasant place to vacation once expectations are managed and you understand the limited resources the resort is working with in a developing country. Viewed through that lens, the experience is much more positive. You can tell this property was likely a 5-star resort in its heyday, but age, weather, and wear and tear are evident. The rooms need TLC. We experienced issues with toilets flushing inconsistently, lower water pressure, and bathroom hardware that has seen better days. That said, I had hot showers every day, and while the bathroom situation wasn’t the best I’ve experienced, it also wasn’t the worst — manageable with realistic expectations. The deficiencies we raised were addressed by Alberto Jimenez at reception, who was exceptionally helpful and professional, and made a real effort to resolve the issues. In one instance, a member of our group accidentally left a carbon monoxide detector in the original room after changing rooms. After going through reception and several levels of management, it was eventually located and returned from lost and found, which was appreciated and showed good follow-through. Pricing is difficult to judge fairly since I traveled during holiday high season (Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve) and paid the single supplement, which made it feel expensive. I do believe this resort could offer very good value during regular season pricing. The food options were plentiful, the drinks were good, the pools were beautiful, and the beachfront was excellent. We also had two à la carte dining experiences — the Japanese and French restaurants — and both meals were exceptional, with outstanding service, and were highlights of the stay. The resort is very open and spacious, with staff constantly cleaning common areas. There are plenty of places to sit, play cards, and enjoy cocktails before dinner. As expected, there is a daily rush for pool and beach chairs, so getting up early helps. We were a large group, which made it more challenging, but every day we still found seating in both the shade and the sun. The atmosphere is a mix of high-energy areas with music and activities and quieter spots to relax. Sometimes the music was louder than my personal preference, but many guests clearly enjoyed it. This is a great resort for families, with excellent kids’ activities throughout the day. The evening entertainment was better than expected, especially the aquatic show, which was a standout. I was upgraded to a Superior King Suite Oceanfront and was able to watch the show from my balcony. It took us about two days to learn the layout and establish a routine, but once we did, we genuinely enjoyed every minute of our time here. The resort was popular with Canadians and Europeans, and English was widely spoken, making communication easy. A special mention goes to the spa — my treatment with Yolanda was outstanding and one of the best massages and body treatments I’ve had. Highly recommended. Overall, with properly managed expectations, the Occidental Caribe delivers a pleasant, relaxed vacation and remains in my top five Dominican Republic resorts.
