As soon as we arrived we got attended to by the bell man but the front desk agent was very slow and seem incompetent. We had problems with our rooms. The bathroom from my room smelled , so immidiatly I called to tell them but I saw nothing being done so I went straight to costumer service to request my room to be changed. About two hours later we got transfered to a single bed room when we payed for a two double bed room, but we left it like that. On the plus side, waiters, bartenders, housekeepers and the entertainers are very attentive, friendly, and accomodating. Some are a bit too friendly and always hit on guests which is extremely uncomfortable. Some of the food is okay. In my opinion, the buffet is better than the 3 or 4 a la carte restaurants they have. A huge plus for those who like to party is the Club they have. Mangu is extremely fun and its open until 7 am. Guests get to go in without making a line. On the other hand, beverages are not included and if you want to drink, it's*dollars per drink. Overall, it was a great experience, hotel was okay, been to better ones. Would I go back? Maybe. If I decide to go back I would rather check out anotehr hotel. Do I recomend this hotel? You get what you pay for.

I went wtih my girlfriend and the members of the staff kept flirting with her right in front of my face and wouldn't stop. One guy I particularly disliked was named x I told them to stop but they laughed and said they were just joking. If they were in my country instead of the other way around they would have been layed out to pasture. The hotel is nice overall but the shower pressure sucked, there is a * fine if you lose a single towel and * fine if you lose your key (big rip off). I would only go back if I get single.

Some friends and I decided to take a 4 days quite get away to Occidental Grand. The same day we arrived some of us had to have our rooms change immediately, because the rooms are crappy, some of them had broken showers, air condition, and smelled moldy. The food was cold and not good, even the food at the restaurants we had to make reservation. Ssome of the staff were friendly, but not helpful. The only thing I like was the spa.

This was my first spring break with my friends and we were so dissapointed since the time we got there. We were six people and got two rooms and one of them was filled out of ants, yes ANTS, we demanded to be moved right away and instead of upgrading us they gave us a room far from where my other friends were staying at and on top of that the shower was not working. The staff was unprofessional, especially the guys, they were cursing and speaking sex related comments about us, they thought we didn't speak spanish and we could understand every single word they said. I was shocked of those nasty dominicans. We complaint but they didn't pay any attention to us, I guess was because we were just 19 year olds and we were not with a "real adult". The service in the restaurants was bad as well as the food, cold and disgusting. I would never ever recommend this property to anyone, I rather pay more money and be treated decently. We requested a wake-up call at 6am because were going to be picked up for an excursion at 645am and of course they woke us up just to let us know they had left without us. We had to get on a cab and follow the bus to pick us up on the way...This is just to say the least.

This was by far the worst all in clusive ever. The food was awful. I am from Dominican Republic and this was not Dominican cooking. The food wasn't the only nasty thing, the beach was full of ants and trash. You can look over to the other resorts and tell that you were in a lower scale. The other resorts were much cleaner. Every 5 minutes their staff was trying to get us to buy a time share. Even after we said not interested they would not leave. I am going back to Punta Cana but not staying here.
