Photos of Occidental Punta Cana

Overview

Originally constructed in 2001, Occidental Punta Cana was recently renovated in late 2016. The resort's relatively low rates and beachfront setting keeps families and partiers alike flocking to the property. Most guests at the resort are also visiting from Russia and Canada.

Occidental Punta Cana sits right on Bavaro Beach, Punta Cana’s most popular stretch of sand with restaurants, casinos, and bars. Coco Bongo, a famous Caribbean nightclub with epic Las-Vegas style shows, is a short 10-minute drive from the resort while a beautiful breathtaking oceanfront golf course is a 35 minute drive. Adrenaline junkies can get their fix at a nearby adventure park that has zip lines, horseback riding, a paintball field, and a short bungee jump. The Punta Cana International Airport is roughly a 25 minute drive.

Like many other massive resorts in the area, there are a number of features at Occidental Punta Cana. The gorgeous sandy beach is the main draw where free non-motorized water sports include stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, and Hobie Cat catamarans. The resort’s three pools offer something for everyone. One pool is a huge party pool with a swim-up pool bar and cold-water whirlpools, while the others are more relaxed and include children areas. The resort also offers a spa, gym, kid activities, and 11 restaurants to choose from as part of the all-inclusive plan.

Accommodations at the resort are simple and modern with a mix of varieties. All rooms feature either pool, garden, or ocean-view. All necessary traveling amenities are included in the rooms and upgraded rooms will feature more.

Pros (+) The staff is very friendly and we loved how they all keep the resort impeccably clean! They were great!

Brandon, Mar 2017
Cons (-) I don't review resorts often but the Occidental Punta Cana is an exception to the rest. After flying in, we waited in line to check in for an hour. We were then taken to our dark, dated room that was supposed to have one king bed, only to find two twin size beds pushed together to form one giant bed.
