"Staff was very helpful. We found the food to be mostly very good, and our room was spacious and well-maintained. The beach was beautiful and we had great bar service while relaxing on our beach chairs. Our biggest disappointment was that we found the Teppanyaki restaurant to be closed for the week after we had been able to make reservations on the app, and the sushi restaurant was also closed during our entire stay"

"The resort is run down but the staff keep it clean, housekeeping I thought was excellent and even fixed the sticking patio door. I like how the rooms are set up in cul-de-sac manner. The staff are great, lobby bar was a great place to hang, drink and play cards. They kept the drinks coming! Now the food..was not good at the buffet. Fruit was good per my boyfriend and friends, but it was chicken, chicken and more chicken cooked several ways and was not very appetizing. We were told not to eat the lettuce so not many salads were had. We only tried 2 restaurants, the seafood and Italian. They were so-so. Occidental could use a chef or two. The entertainment girls were good, darts, volleyball, etc Loved the old classic rock n roll they played at the pool by the beach. The adult pool is boring! We did not catch the nightly entertainment, we were playing cards, but heard it was okay for those that didn’t have anything else to do. I’ve been there 3 times but with the food choices, I think this is my last time."
