Résumé des avis

Guests highlight the beauty of the vast, clean beach with its turquoise water, as well as the warm welcome and excellent service from the staff. The impeccable cleanliness of the hotel and rooms is also highly praised, as is the quality and variety of the food, both at the buffets and the à la carte restaurants. However, it is sometimes noted that the buffets can be repetitive or of inconsistent quality.

Pleasant and sunny stay
Séjour agréable et ensoleillé

The Occidental Tucancun is very well located. You can walk for hours on the beach, relax on the sand or by one of the pools, or easily get to Cancun town using public transportation. The staff is courteous and helpful. The place is very clean and the food is excellent.

L'occidental tucancun est très bien situé. On peut marcher des heures sur la plage, relaxer sur la plage ou à une des piscines ou, se rendre dans la ville de Cancun très facilement grâce au transport en commun. Le personnel est courtois et serviable. L'endroit est très propre et la nourriture excellente.

A very decent trip with friends.
Voyage très correcte entre amis.

I went there with my friend. It was my third time in Mexico. I'd say the experience at this hotel had its ups and downs. Arrival/welcome was interminable. Checking in took about 45-50 minutes, and there were only two people ahead of us. After that, the service at the bar by the lower pool (the one closest to the beach) was very slow. For the rest of the week, we went to the bar by the upper pool, and it was a 10/10. We met some great staff members there, but I found the service less warm than what I've experienced before in Mexico. You have to ask more than you receive. The buffet: This is usually a part of traveling that I enjoy, but this one was nothing special. Several other travelers there shared the same opinion. Breakfasts were often missing potatoes/sausages, and one tray of eggs had been sitting out for a while. It wasn't uncommon for the buffet to be cold during the week, and very, very similar from day to day. (Hot dogs/hamburgers) On the other hand, there were some very good meals, including one evening where the waiter prepared several pasta dishes to order, according to our preferences. We tried the à la carte Mexican and Italian restaurants and found them very good. Entertainment: It's a very quiet resort. The same small games are often offered during the day (ping-pong, volleyball in the pool, games for children, etc.). There's music in the lobby bar until 11:00 PM, and the bar closes at midnight. We had some lovely evenings there. Cleanliness: 10/10, impeccable room service every day, and the mini-bar was well-stocked. I have nothing negative to say. Overall, we really enjoyed our week. Remember, we're on vacation, and we should appreciate the little pleasures. We paid $1940 per person, which I think is more than what the hotel is worth. It's a 4-star hotel that's closer to a 3.5-star in some aspects. For a couple who want to treat themselves and experience luxury, they should go and shop around for other packages.

J’y suis allé avec mon ami. C’était ma troisième fois au Mexique. Je dirais que l’expérience à cet hôtel a eu du très bon et du moins bon.

L’arrivée/accueil est interminable. Faire le check-in à pris environs 45-50 minutes et il n’y avait que 2 personnes devant nous.

Par la suite, le bar près de la piscine d’en bas (le plus près de la plage) le service est très long. Pour le reste de la semaine, nous allions au bar de la piscine d’en haut et c’était 10/10. Nous avons rencontré de super employé sur place, mais j’ai trouvé le service « moins » chaleureux que ce que j’ai eu auparavant au Mexique. On doit plus demander que se faire offrir.

Le buffet : C’est généralement un côté que j’aime du voyage, mais celui-ci n’avait rien d’extraordinaire. Plusieurs voyageurs sur place était du même avis. Les déjeuners manquait souvent de patates/saucisses et un bac d’oeuf fait depuis un certain temps. Il n’a pas été rare que le buffet était froid durant la semaine et très très pareille de jour en jour. (Hot-dog/hambergers) Par contre, il y a eu des repas très bon dont une soirée où il y avait plusieurs pâtes fait en live par le serveur selon nos préférence. Nous avons essayé le restaurant à la carte mexicain et italien, nous avons trouvé ça très bon.

L’animation : C’est un resort très calme. Souvent les mêmes petits jeux présentés durant le jour (ping-pong, volley dans la piscine, jeux pour les enfants etc).
Il y a de la musique le soir au bar du lobby jusqu’à 23:00 et le bar ferme à 00:00. Nous avons eu de belles soirées à cet endroit.

Propreté : 10/10, service aux chambres impeccable tous les jours, le mini-bar bien rempli. J’ai rien de négatif à dire.

Globalement, nous avons vraiment aimé notre semaine. Faut se rappeler que nous sommes en vacances et apprécier les petits plaisir. Nous avons payé 1940$/personnes et je trouve cela au delà de que l’hôtel représente. C’est un 4* qui peut frotter sur le 3.5* sur certain aspect. Pour un couple qui veut se gâter et avoir du luxe, passer et magasiner encore les forfaits.

Wonderful holiday with friends and family.
Belles vacances entre amis et famille.

It's generally good, but having to pay to put up a parasol on the beach when you can do it yourself is disappointing. The pool toilets need cleaning more frequently, but the rest is very clean and pleasant. There's a long wait at the pool bar.

C'est bien en général, mais d'être obligé de payer pour mettre un parasol à la plage quand on est capable de le faire est désolant. Toilette de la piscine à laver plus fréquemment mais le reste très propre et agréable. Beaucoup d'attente au bar de la piscine.
