Let’s get into it!
Location
This resort sits right on Bavaro Beach, Punta Cana's most popular stretch of sand that buzzes
with activity all day. This is prime Punta Cana real estate, and bars, shops, restaurants serving
local cuisine, and casinos are all within a five- to 10-minute walk of the resort.
For a golf course with breathtaking oceanfront greens, there’s a Jack Nicklaus-designed
course a 35-minute drive from the resort, though there are closer options as well.
Coco Bongo, the famous Caribbean nightclub with epic Las-Vegas style shows, is 10 to 15 minutes
away by car. Adrenaline junkies can get their fix at a nearby adventure park that has zip lines,
horseback riding, a paintball field, and a short bungee jump (a 20-minute drive away).
It's a 25-minute drive to Punta Cana International Airport,
while the capital -- Santo Domingo -- is two and a half hours away by car.
Pools
The resort has three pools. All three pools are surrounded by lounge chairs and include an
oceanfront zero-entry pool and a huge party pool with a swim-up pool bar and cold-water whirlpools.
The third pool -- the most relaxed of the three -- is long and narrow and includes a small children’s
pool. An aquatic wheelchair is available to borrow for guests with accessibility needs.
Rooms
Rooms have an inoffensive, anonymously modern style that consists of abundant hardwood accents,
gray fabrics and neutral hues, and just a few pieces of tropical wall art. Beds are a mix of
one king or two doubles framed by plush hardwood headboards, while low-slung couches provide
seating. All rooms have either pool, garden, or ocean-view outdoor spaces with wicker-resin
chairs and tables. Ground-floor units add two lounge chairs. Pricier rooms are available with
whirlpool tubs on the balconies. Tech amenities include flat-screen TVs with cable channels,
USB wall plugs, and Bluetooth-enabled iPod docks. Unfortunately, you'll have to pay for Wi-Fi
unless you've opted for a Royal Level upgrade. Minibars are stocked with soda, water, and beer,
and all rooms include coffee makers, safes, irons, and ironing boards. The resort’s Euro-style
bathrooms are fully tiled, with marble vanities, recessed lighting, and rainfall showers. The
showers could be better designed as water often soaks the bathroom floor despite glass walls.
Showers have built-in dispensers for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Pricier Royal Level
rooms have extra amenities like room service, free Wi-Fi, and access to private Royal Level dining.
Dining
Food options abound at Occidental Punta Cana, but reservations are required for dinners at the
a la carte eateries. Be sure to reserve early, as the reservation window closes surprisingly early.
There are 11 restaurants to choose from as part of the all-inclusive plan,
and include options like Asian-fusion, an Argentine steak house, Italian, and Mexican. The
latter is the liveliest of the venues. For casual eats, Al Alcazar buffet has a huge spread but the
menu can get monotonous. There are also a few grab-and-go spots including Las Canas Snack Bar,
La Taqueria taco stand, and La Fontana Pizzeria. Bars are scattered throughout the resort, though
previous guests have found the all-inclusive drink selections to be limited and underwhelming.
Spa
Metamorphosis is the resort’s full-service spa, with services like massages, facials,
waxing, body wraps, and fish pedicures. It's not the most attractive space, but some
treatment areas have garden views. There's also a salon for manicures, pedicures, and haircuts.

Like many other massive resorts in this part of the D.R.,
there are also a number of features on offer here. The main draw is the wide, sandy beach,
which is lined with lounge chairs and palm trees. However, there are no umbrellas or cabanas,
putting shade at a premium. Keep in mind that unless you've paid for Royal Level upgrades,
you won't get beachside food and drink service. The Royal Level section of the beach is also the
only part with sunshades. Like all of Punta Cana's shores, the beach is public and vendors patrol
the sand. The resort does a decent job keeping them away, but be prepared for beach hustlers.
Free non-motorized water sports include kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and Hobie Cat catamarans.
Gym
The gym is pretty drab compared to other Punta Cana resorts,
but it’s stocked with cardio machines, free weights, and resistance machines.
Personal training sessions are available for a fee. A small basketball court
and Har-Tru tennis court are available with free rackets and ball rentals. There’s a fee for tennis
lessons, playing at night, and for hiring a ball boy. Occidental has two kids' clubs,
one for younger children and one for teens. Expect video games, toys, and a jungle gym.
