"Our stay at Occidental Costa Cancun was disappointing overall. Check-in service was slow and lacked urgency. We arrived early (11:00 AM) and did not expect our room to be ready, but reception did not seem interested in providing a welcoming experience. We eventually got our room at 3:15 PM. The property is very small and does not feel like a true resort. There is only one small pool and a limited beach next to a canal where ferries and boats constantly pass, creating a noticeable smell of gas and oil. It feels more like a hotel with a pool than a resort, with no additional recreational areas. The buffet food is average, nothing memorable. The à la carte restaurants are better, but reservations are hard to get, limited to two days in advance, and usually fully booked. One positive is the excellent service from waiters and waitresses, who are attentive and helpful. The rooms are outdated, not well maintained, and noisy if facing the pool. Pool umbrellas cannot be opened due to wind risk, which makes little sense. Hotel taxis are overpriced—about double compared to Uber or private transport. Overall, there are much better resorts in Cancun. I would not recommend this hotel."
