My wife and I stayed at the Occidental Grand in January 2008. The weather was beautiful. Don't forget the sunblock. Our flight was delayed which kind of sucked because we didn't get to the resort until around 1:30 am. We flew Air Transat from Toronto.

Booked a last minute stay at the Occidental Grand Puna Cana Sept 7 -14/08. We found the resort to be almost deserted (probably because of the week we travelled and also hurricane season).

We loved our stay here. This time in September is the off-peak season for the hotel, so there were not a lot of... more

My husband and I won a trip to the Occidental Grand Punta Cana. I read the reviews on here and was a little worried because there were some bad experiences, but we had the best time! Our room was beautiful, the beaches were amazing, and we made some great new friends. My highlights of the trip that surprised me were... more

we stayed in grand occidental (the private hotel portion which gives you your own restaurant and mini pool). the beach was beautiful but that's about it. we were supposed to have great service and even better since we were in the exclusive section. this was a lie. my fiance was sick from their undercooked food and they didnt even provide... more
