Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"The beaches were beautiful and everything was lovely; I absolutely loved the place. The only things I didn't really like were the bathroom—which is very small—and the refrigerator, which didn't work. Also, it would be good if they offered more spicy food, because everything was bland, and the tacos were very small and upset my stomach."
