Comments from Pierre Labelle on Occidental Grand Punta Cana :

Positive :

beautiful beaches and you can walk easily-site well maintained, clean spacious rooms (section preference Air Transat)

Negative :

I take our two trips / year for over 10 years: 70% of people have been sick or vomiting, gastrointestinal diahrrée There is surely a safety issue or use of water in this hotel, or a persistent virus . A la carte meals not terrible and not worthy of 4 stars, buffet but nothing good, it definitely lacks a leader in this hotel. Wines not drinkable so we must buy separate bottles-you pay for safety deposit box / Internet - Many sellers of timeshares on the site. For my part, I do not recommend this hotel

Comments from Line on Occidental Grand Punta Cana :

Positive :

Very comfortable. There is everything and what we liked most is that it's near the beach and we do not have to walk too. Hotel very clean and the staff are very friendly. We were in Club Transat and preferably it is worth it especially because of the private beach with a bar and a server. The beach is really impeccable. They will surely be retoutner because everything was perfect!

Negative :

The only negative comment, it is the a la carte restaurants. They found poor but you can easily live with that little detail because buffets are amazing!

Comments from renatane71 on Occidental Grand Punta Cana :

Positive :

Very nice, clean, well appointed, beautiful gardens and plants. We were in the section for Transat. So bathrobe, slippers, assorted basket of goodies, rum, various goodies at our disposal every day. Also, beach towels delivered directly to the bedroom door. Quite sublime beach, sand, palm trees and beautiful clear sea.

Negative :

The a la carte restaurants ... Phew! Must have a strong stomach. We were victims of a virus that came from a foodborne bacteria. About thirty people from our hotel had the same problem. But also other hotels in the same period. For us, after dinner at Asian restaurant, malaise began, and we were sick the rest of the journey to hospital to hospital in Bavaro. I think it was bad luck, because the hotel was very clean.

Comments from France on Occidental Grand Punta Cana :

Positive :

Site very nice and big, beautiful vegetation, good food, two very large swimming pools, beautiful beach with private party (Air Transat). The a la carte restaurants are good and the only buffet dinner is very good and diverse. But this is not a 4 1/2 stars, but a 31/2. So that I took away the star is ... (see com. Negative)

Negative :

bathroom in dire need of repairs, broken shower, bathroom dirty, blackened ceramic seal, no washcloth, staff does not speak French and little English. For those who are hungry in the afternoon or those who want dinner vers18h. Remember that all the restaurants open at 19h, and at noon there is only a snack bar is open and toujous the same food. for those who want to relax and do nothing is the ideal place because there is no activity, dance or food on the beach as aillor. is the only show to 22h and lasts one hour apart from that nothing at all, not even GO or music on the beach in the afternoon.

Comments from mamiraine on Occidental Grand Punta Cana :

Positive :

We spent some time during the holiday season that is to say, from 25 December to 1 January. The hotel is beautiful. Very clean. We had a junior suite, so a very large room, which was very clean and above all without undesirable odors. The staff is always on his case. The vegetation is lush and beautiful. The buffet was well stocked so we did not feel the repetition of dishes. The beach is huge and is very soft white sand. The restaurants are pretty ordinary. We greatly prefer the buffet. We were in Section Air Canada and we were not difficult for us to reserve a palapa or beach chair by going to the beach when we woke up, that is to say, about 8: 00. The sun was to visit every day, so watch out for sunburn.

Negative :

When the negatives, this concerns the shows done by staff. This is rather amateur. Moreover, it always started at 10: 00, so that it ended late in the evening. This is not a hotel for people who desire to party. This is a rather quiet spot and without animation done by staff. Despite this I would recommend this to anyone asks me how it was.

Comments from etoiles54 on Occidental Grand Punta Cana :

Positive :

The rooms were very clean. the site is not too big, everything is close. The staff is very friendly and courteous. We ate well all week, a la carte restaurants and buffet. The beach is beautiful, it's worth taking the club preference, only section, sun loungers available. nightclub just outside the site (3 minute walk) really great for those who like to dance all night! We made two trips during our stay, and either the marinarium saona different but both very enjoyable. I recommend this hotel to my friends.

Negative :

We would have loved to have a reservation for the Asian restaurant ... open only two days during our stay and no place available! Lack of spicy foods, but it's a personal taste, despite that the food was good. Water damage in our room one night!! the "repair" is lagging.

Comments from M.boileau on Occidental Grand Punta Cana :

beaucoup of promise in the brochure air transat club preference.peu resultat.la majority of the traveler called AC club indifference.ex: reception priority but that did not really room was not ready to have to wait for the arrivenous 1.2 ha arrives at the room we had to ask what the piece was promised in the brochure.section preferably not at the beach bar and server palapas still constructs all of the things promised in the brochure.lors of reach the hotel we were imposing our our a la carte restaurants and times. for change that must see the janitor who is supposedly exclusive to Air Transat, but the concierge EST overall hotel. and arm yourself with patience it is very difficult to change always complet.psles hours of the restaurants has maps are fixed ex . 18.30-20.00-18.30 or 21.15 and some or all 21.00.buffet flat sauces.c hotel is not a 4.5 but a 4 weak for restaurants was the buffet cards

Positive :

propreté piscines

Negative :

service should ask several times for repairs.

Comments from ycaisse on Occidental Grand Punta Cana :

Positive :

the hotel is well maintained despite the age and the staff is really nice. a la carte restaurants are very real. the beach is great, with lots of palm trees and palapas, long wide and clean. but the sea water is not very clean and there are plenty of algae that we tickle the ankles. the site is well laid out, not too big with a nice shot of oeil.la pool with whirlpool bath in the center c is great at the end of the journée.cafetiere in the rooms.

Negative :

tourista. half of the people is reached, even by following all the tips to prevent. I believe she is part of the all inclusive. In any case, it is cheap s hotel, a blow that it is the toilet is no longer malade.en not swallow all at once "delivery", it takes several flushes, so we diffuse and there is not much of ventilation .. it takes a lot of love and understanding to jointly ... it is seriously under water pressure, there is no real orange juice or other fruit just the cool aid to the fruit, the buffet is tasty as primary and that in Cuba, the coffee is very good at the lobby bar except that it No not open until 8, 30 in the morning ... the water and electricity are cut off at night so good luck for touristeux night ... in my opinion is a 3 star c ...
