Find Cheap Hotels in Yucatan Peninsula

"We recently stayed at Occidental at Xcaret Destination and overall had a really enjoyable experience. The property itself is absolutely stunning—one of the most lush, jungle-like resort settings you could ask for. The wildlife was incredible and truly sets this place apart. We had monkeys visiting our balcony daily, which was amazing to watch. If you enjoy nature and wildlife, this resort is hard to beat—but if that’s not your thing, this may not be the place for you. The pools were great, always clean and relaxing, and the entire resort has a very natural, immersive feel. The staff across the board were kind, friendly, and very helpful. One employee, Moses, really stood out as exceptional and went above and beyond to make our stay better. Our room was nice and comfortable, housekeeping did a fantastic job, and the minibar was always well stocked. The bars were also excellent—service was quick and always came with a smile. The only downside was the food, which was just okay overall. That said, the pizza restaurant was outstanding—honestly better than most pizza places in the U.S. Check-in could definitely use some improvement, as the process felt slower than it should be. All in all, this is a beautiful resort with a unique jungle atmosphere, great service, and unforgettable wildlife experiences."

"We did not sit by the pool. The buildings and lay out were somewhat odd and oversized. The room was great. We went north a ways to enjoy the beach, as there was too much weed on the beach and in the water to enjoy the beach by the resort. The other Westin location where we had the presentation was much nicer. Our concierge was very helpful and knowledgeable."

"So much fun and everyone was super kind! Would stay again."

"Nothing to do, nowhere to go, kids everywhere, everything broken, no bars to sit at you have to wait in big lines to get drink and then drink them while standing! Food was horrible could not eat at the buffet. Do not go worst resort I’ve ever been to!!!!!"

"Very clean, workers worked very hard. Beds uncomfortable and the elevators were not adequate. Food was great in the specialty restaurants, was disappointed there wasnt a Mexican restaurant as we were in Mexico. The buffet was fair, could find something you liked. Did not like the reps pushing for you to go off site to the Coco Bongo show. It was expensive and misrepresented- definitely for a younger crowd. The entertainment was fair, if you wanted to go to the infamous Riu parties, you had to take a.shuttlento another Riu. Overall, great vacation. Food, drinks, pools. Enjoyed our time. "

"Una estancia maravillosa, gracias a todo el equipo del hotel!! Agradecimientos en especial a Lucia y Geovany de la más buffet “Ventanas”"

"Excellent place "

"If you're looking for a place where the vibes are high, the drinks never stop, and there's always something fun going on...THIS IS IT. (We highly recommend Aquafit: it's a high energy dance party in the pool to get your heart rate up.) My girlfriends tried the spa experience and said it was one of the best they've ever had. The staff made the experience, the food options were endless, and everything was spotless. We're already dreaming about going back! "
