"We had a poor experience and multiple issues with our room and were informed by reception, "sorry, this is the standard"....
1) I accept not all rooms have a sea view, but ours was looking into a cliff face with virtually no natural light entering the room... For 230 euros! The room felt like a utility closet that had been repurposed. Unacceptable.
2) The room had a mouldy, putrid smelling AstroTurf 'terrace' that faced said cliff. See attached photos of the florid mould.
3) The WiFi in the room was broken / could not even load a WhatsApp message.
If this is the 'standard' that Occidental hotels holds themself to then they should reclassify this as a 2-3* hotel. I have stayed in cleaner, better 3* hotels for 1/3rd of the price.
We would certainly not recommend anyone stays here or mistakes it for a luxury experience.
It is a box-ticking "4*" hotel which on closer inspection does not live up to this grade. "
"The room was clean and ideal for a weekend stay. It had all the essential amenities, including a comfortable bed, hairdryer, and air conditioning, which made the stay very pleasant.
Breakfast was a highlight, with a great menu offering a wide selection of both hot and cold options, as well as fresh pastries."
"He estado dos veces seguidas en este hotel con una semana de diferencia y se confirma las deficiencias, solo pasa el servicio de habitaciones si se exige en recepción, no reponen el gel de ducha a menos que lo reclames varias veces, y el hotel peca de tener pocos servicios en general"
