Considering that I booked this trip only a month beforehand, I am content, and it met my expectations (beach, pools, food and drink). It’s a low-budget all inclusive resort.
However, I will know better next time I plan a trip to Cancun. Hotel Riu Palace Kukulkan, which is next to this one, would be a much better choice! It’s much broader, newer, adults only!, better food and drink choices, heated and bigger pools, more eventful, the crowd is more mixed, younger, social and English speaking. If booked about 6 months ahead, the price is about the same!
Now, back to Occidental Tucancun! The beach stretch is short, and they should add more beach chairs. The pools are not heated and they’re too small. Both, the beach and the pools, get in a shade around 5 PM. The cocktails are served with no straws. There’s no outside food option (if you want to eat during the day, you have to go back to your room, change your clothes and go to a buffet-1 they don’t allow you to get food in your swimsuit/sleeveless shirt). The smoking section is too far, and it has only 4 round tables. The cleaning lady is a top-notch though!
