Pleasantly Surprised, Exceeded Expectations - user review
After reading several reviews of the Occidental, we were worried about being able to book dinner reservations and about the level of service at the hotel in general. Luckily, everything at the Occidental completely exceeded our expectations. If you book dinner reservations on the first day you arriv...

A wonderful Honeymoon destination - user review
For the price, there is nothing to complain about. The food was good, not superior, the resort beautiful, the room nice. My ONLY complain is the beach, there are a lot of people with boats running back and forth for para sailer's, skiing, banana boats, etc. It created a lot of unnecessary wake. Ever...

Would go back in a minute - user review
Great place had no trouble checking in or making reservations at theme restaurants. Food was fantastic. Only minor problems were finding chairs at the pool and view of dumpster from our balcony (not on hotel property). Definitely would recommend to friends. Traveler's tip on recreational activities....

My fiancee and I spent weeks trying to find a nice, safe, and clean place to go to for vacation. After reading reviews and seeing pictures of this hotel, it seemed like a great deal!

Would not go back to the Occidental Grand - user review
Our first impression of our hotel was when we arrived, we had to wait in a very long line to check in. With the all inclusive plan, you had your choice of a buffet restaurant (which you did not have to make reservation) and four other restaurants. We decided to book the other restaurants on the day ...

Very Nice Resort, Great Value, Friendly Staff - user review
Overall, I thought this resort was very nice. We visited the resort Oct 2 7. I have stayed at other expensive all inclusive resorts and this is very comparable. All the restaurants were good and had a decent selection. The pool and beach were fabulous, the best ocean front out of all the resorts on ...

4 out of 5 - user review
Overall, pretty good. The main issues we had with the hotel was A) there were more kids there than you thought would be. It was a bit annoying when playing pool volleyball with people to have a few 12 year olds and under swim through your game. It was also annoying to have some crying kids at dinner...

Would not go back - user review
The food in the buffet and the italian resturant were good but the only choice you have to eat breakfast or lunch is in the buffet unless you go out of the resort. Housekeeping is terrible, every day they forget to clean or do something and it doesn't help to report it because you have to wait at le...

Impressed - user review
The food was fantastic and restaurants were open plenty of hours to accomodate our needs. It regularly took several minutes to be seated. It seemed the host/hostess had to multitask often. Drink refills at meals were a little difficult to get. Rooms were clean and kept well stocked. Our clock and DV...

Exactly what we expected - user review
The hotel was nice, very clean and exactly what we expected from an all inclusive . The buffet was plentiful, clean and had a good variety, taste was average.

Want to Go Back! - user review
The Occidental is not perfect but where it's lacking is made up with the Aruba weather and beach. The hotel itself is gorgeous and is being improved everyday. The grounds are immaculate, the beach is the incredible, and the water is the best of any of the other hotels. The food in the buffet and jap...

Friendly, but not quite pulling it off - user review
This was a pretty good value, although I'm not sure I'd do the all inclusive thing again. Most people here were very friendly. Service in the restaurants tended to be slow and every time I ordered a salad and appetizer, I only got one or the other. Food quality is only OK in the Palm (buffet) restau...

Aruba: A Very Happy Island!!! - user review
We visited the Island for the first time in March 2007. The Occidental Grand Aruba Resort was a very good vacation place. From the time we arrived at the Resort, the Front Desk staff to the Bell Hops to the maid service to the restuarant staff and security personnel, we couldn't ask for better servi...

We were delighted with this hotel. I have been to Aruba almost 10 times. This hotel was terrific. We were greeted with a glass of champagne at the reception check in desk.
