We recently stayed at Occidental Xcaret, and the check-in process was a mess. It took us over an hour to check in, despite there being very few people in line. The staff member seemed disorganized, leaving and returning multiple times without explanation. Additionally, despite booking through Expedia, we weren’t offered any room upgrades, which was disappointing. Overall, a frustrating start to our stay. Now, let's talk about the food—honestly, it was awful. The dishes were bland, lacked flavor, and were just downright disgusting at times. It was incredibly disappointing, especially considering this is a resort where you expect better quality meals. To make matters worse, the dinner restaurants that required reservations were a complete joke. The reservations system was chaotic, and the actual dining experience didn’t even come close to justifying the wait. The food quality was no better at these places either. Given the high expectations I had for this property, I left feeling frustrated and disappointed. I hope the hotel management addresses these issues to improve the experience for future guests.

Restaurants require pants and closed shoes, they require reservations most of them. Has 3 buffets, serving american food. Pools were dirty and no maintenance personnel cleaning them. Every time you walk out of your room, theres personnel trying to get you to buy their memerbership (time share). It became annoying after the first 3 times. The small beqch area is about the only good thing about this place.

DO NOT BOOK WITH EXPEDIA, hotel stay was lovely, but we had to pay almost double because Expedia did not send the right information to the hotel. I am extremely disappointment with the service my family and I recently experienced while using Expedia. We will no longer be using the service ourselves, nor will we recommend it to anyone we know. Our frustration stems from the fact that we booked our vacation through the app and properly selected the ages of our children during the booking process. Despite this, we were still required to pay for our children at the hotel. We felt completely trapped in this situation, as we had to pay extra for a vacation that was already very costly. While we understand that the hotel was not at fault—since they received incorrect information from Expedia—it did not make the situation any less stressful. What added to our frustration was that Expedia did not help us resolving this issue. Instead of offering credit for the extra costs, Expedia's response was to try to shift the burden onto the hotel. This lack of support left us feeling unsupported and taken advantage of. While we had a lovely stay at the hotel, we are deeply disappointed with how Expedia handled this issue, and unfortunately, this will be the last time we use Expedia for any travel arrangements after using it for years. We will also be advising our family and friends to avoid using this service moving forward.

My husband and I stayed with our twins 11 year olds last week for one week. We stayed in building 22. The check in process was incredibly stressful and took forever. Make sure you double and triple check your entries in Expedia because ours were incorrect and it ended up costing us $1400 more when we got to the resort. All of the other staff members that we encountered were friendly and you could tell they worked very hard and enjoyed their jobs. Our room was cleaned appropriately every day and on the day I wasn't feeling well the maids brought me a case of water and the restaurant made sure I had something to eat (even though that's something they don't do unless you're in Royal). The grounds were beautiful and all of the animals absolutely enchanting. The number of pools was very nice and the swim up bar a double bonus although the drunk adults might turn you off. People from every age range and nationality were there during our trip and we enjoyed meeting new friends from all over the world. Everyone we met was friendly and we felt safe the entire time. This is our first time to Mexico with kids and I felt safe enough that they could walk alone from place to place. We went to Xcaret for 4 days which was exhausting but the kids loved it. Loved the proximity but be prepared to walk 15k steps a day because it is enormous. Food needs upgrade but we never had a "bad" meal. Great wait staff. Ok drinks. You get what you pay for. Would like full beach but lagoon was great for kids
