Occidental in Hispaniola from AU$426

"Very nice hotel with beautiful grounds. We enjoyed every restaurant. Have to admit, we were disappointed at lunch time, as you had to change from beachwear to clothes to eat at restaurants, unless you ordered from pool/beach server and that would take 1/2 to 45 min to arrive somewhat cold or dry. Menu would only offer burger, hot dog or nachos. Very nice staff. Beautiful beach. "

"Staff was friendly but not over joyful to greet you or always with a smile on their face. Sometimes it did seem like you were bothering them but, if you try with them their mood will pick up. The place was very clean the beach was picked up after everyday. They are organized with entertainment scheduling and what they put on for the staff. Food is good you’ll be able to find something for everyone "

"This resort has something for everyone from all sorts of water crafts , bowling, pickleball, ping pong, nightly shows such as Michael Jackson and Madonna tribute and karaoke nights, spa and good size casino, mini golf, kiddie water park and driving range. In addition to 2 buffets, there were 4-6 sit down restaurants . The French restaurant was our favorite ."

"The property, the staff, the food, were all great! It's quite big and they offer train carts to get around(they go in a loop). There is a lot of wildlife, like peacocks,ducks, and turtles for example. The have a beautiful mamgrove with a path, so that you can walk through. If you are looking for a more quiet and relaxed vibe, this is the place for you. There are activities during the day, either at the pool or the beach depending on the time of the day. And in the evenings there is entertainment near the main lobby. We stayed in the Platinum Club area and really enoyed it. PBG (Platinum Beach Grill) was very good. I went with 4 other people and we all enjoyed the food at all of the restaurants we went to. The Indian and Mexican restaurants were favorites but the buffets and food trucks were decent as well. The drinks from the Platinum bars were amazing, all the other bars were hit or miss. The beautiful water fountain is a great addition to the esthetics. Overall enjoyed the stay, would come back... After all, this is my second time here ! "

"Ocean was not visible from our room unfortunately, my wife loved the spa, Staff was absolutely fantastic, very accommodating and always very curious. Room was always clean and stocked with drinks and snacks, beautiful rooms very comfortable."

"An amazing experience, clean resort staff everything was just absolutely perfect"

"The check in took too long. However, everything else was just perfect!"

"My family and I enjoyed our stay at The Finest Punta Cana. The reviews made me nervous but I’m glad I decided to give this property a try. We stayed in a swim up suite and it was perfect. What stood out during our visit was the customer service. The staff was excellent and very attentive. We saw Javier everyday and he made sure we were aware of all daily activities and he was very helpful and friendly with my entire family. Wellington and team at the beach was outstanding. He made sure we were taking care of during our cabana rental or at any seat we had on the beach. The drinks stayed flowing and food service was great. We highly recommend this resort if you want luxury and excellent customer service. The staff is the main reason we would return again. The food could use more seasonings but it was not terrible. I think they should have more salt and pepper available to use. The food pools were clean and my 8 year old had a blast and made friends. Pool chairs were easy to find. We are planning on coming back really soon. We came skeptical and left as family. Thank you for a wonderful stay. "

"The beach was amazing. Staff was friendly. Everything is within a close walk. Lots of food options around the pool. There are bars everywhere. Wilkins was the best bartender, in our opinion. Lots of great entertainment throughout the day. They accommodated a late check out, even at near max capacity. Our only complaint was the housekeeping. There were a couple of days that they didn’t come at all. We had to request toilet paper and Kleenex. The days that they did come, we had to request face cloths and a bath mat. They would take them and not replace. Minor issues in the grand scheme of things. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. "
