Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"On the first day, the air conditioner had a severe moldy smell that caused a terrible headache and sore throat. After that, I couldn’t use it at all, no matter how hot it was. The amenity containers also seemed poorly cleaned and had a strong damp, wet rag smell, which was extremely unpleasant and unhygienic."
