Occidental in Punta Cana from AU$477

"The resort was nice, updated, and clean. "

"We enjoyed our stay at the Grand Sirenis. Although the resort was a little bit of a drive from the airport, it was worth it due to the beach, pool and grounds. Loved the access to drinks and food throughout our stay. Most bartenders were friendly and helpful. Food at buffets were good but nothing special. Did al a carte dinning for dinners. Some were better than others. Japanese and French restaurants were standouts. Concierges were ok but didn’t like that they pushed you to listen to sales pitch on buying into timeshare. Although not too pushy, didn’t think it was necessary to have sales people walking around at the beach trying to sell excursions. They seemed to have been approved by the resort, but hotel security could do a better job keeping unofficial sales people off the beach trying to get u to take pictures or sell jewelry. Shows at the amphitheater were good and liked the live music by the pool at late afternoon. Great value for the money. We would return. "

"Hotel was spectacular! Food was amazing, water slide was incredible. The arcade and bowling alley were cool, a little expensive. Beach was less than we expected. Too many boats, seaweed and no waves but the water was clear. Room was beautiful, beds were very comfortable. Shower was interesting…ish, my teenage daughter said with a smile. "

"Abbiel at the front desk was great and helped with anything i needed when my flight home got canceled. All the staff and bartenders were amazing and always friendly and polite. "

"Definitely would return back to this resort! All the staff were kind and polite , so many things the resort has to offer . Super clean as well "

"This is a clean and friendly resort, with a lot to offer travellers. It's more oriented towards adults than kids, but we still had fun with our tween/teenagers. "

"Great resort with friendly staff. Definitely will come back."

"Rooms were excellent cleaning staff excellent food was subpar most service staff act like they dont care you get what you pay for here i rate it as an average resort"

"The room was amazing. We had a swim-out room on the adults only side and it was where we spent most of the days. It was very well maintained, clean and the service was great each day. There was always someone walking around to refill drinks. We tried authentic Dominican food, and there were also options if you didn't feel like eating something different than what you are used to eating. There was a cafe we got our coffe at each morning and it was so good! The staff here was awesome too! They remembered us each morning and what we liked! I can't say enough about the staff and how great they were! Everyone was so nice! Staff was extremely friendly all around, despite the language barrier. We don't speak Spanish, but most staff could speak Spanish and English and a lot of other languages as well. We did 2 days with morning excursions. While the excursions were extremely fun, they are not necessary to enjoy your vacation! "
