The rooms and especially the bathrooms were very nice. The service was good and the staff friendly. The food on the other hand was the worst I andthe other four in my group have ever had on vacation. We have been there before at Allegro (owned by the same co.) and the food was not that bad. The rooms were not as nice at Allegro. They certainly need a new cook there. I could never go back there because I would have to eat out and that would defeat the purpose of an all inclusive resort!

Had a great stay. Accomodations were beautiful. Had requested a king, but wound up with two doubles. Food was what you would expect from all-inclusive. Maybe a step above. 24 hour pizza was not open, maybe it was off-season. Maid service was great. Resort is a beautiful setting. Dive shop I would recommend. There was a smell, but nothing offensive. With the humidity what it is, probably hard to avoid. I would go back if we made another trip to Cozumel. It is quite a drive to town, though, if you want to be where the action is. Resort is more of a peaceful retreat. Great security. Wonderful views. Lush gardens. Iguanas running around. Good evening entertainment. All around, a great visit!!

The Occidental Grand, located towards the southern end of Cozumel, is a wonderful 4-star resort in a lush, vibrant, tropical setting. Wonderful style and architecture. Guest rooms are in a dozen or so of three-story buildings. Meals are in a large buffet restaurant, a large open-air buffet restaurant by the beach, and two fancier restaurants (a steak house and a mediterranean style restaurant, both excellent) where you need reservations. Our all-included package did indeed include everything, even unlimited bar. Food is very good, service quick and friendly. Guest rooms are large and quite luxurious, though the beds and pillows are hard. Tons of hot water, excellent water pressure, plenty of towels, hair blower, iron, etc. all there. Rooms have wireless internet access, but at an obnoxiously high price. That should definitely be included! All-tile floors good for divers with all our wet stuff. Uniformed staff is helpful and friendly, English is spoken where needed. Both Dollars and Pesos are accepted, and there are both Dollar and Pesos ATMs on the premise. Gift shop has all the necessities. Didn't check out the disco, but looks nice. Large kids playground with friendly, caring staff. Two large, awesome pools, albeit with amazingly cold water. On our November trip, mosquitoes were brutal, so bug spray is absolutely mandatory during the rainy season. The dive shop, albeit listed as a PADI 5-Star facility, is small and rudimentary and nowhere near the level of the resort itself. There is no place to change, the "lockers" are small plastic boxes in sort of a chicken coop, getting on dive boats is a hit-or-miss affair, and sometimes the shop even ran out of weights or locks. Overall, awesome place at a reasonable rate, but divers will want better facilities.

We really enjoyed our vacation in September to the Occidental Grand. Food was very good for an all inclusive resort. Staff was very nice. Resort was very clean and well maintained. when we go back to Cozumel we would stay here again no questions asked.

Went there on our honeymmon and had a wounderful time. The staff was great the food was the good. The only bad thing was the beds it felt like sleeping on the floor and another thing make sure to exchange your money at the airport or the bank way better deal.
