My husband and I stayed at the Occidental 10/12-10/19 and please listen to me when I say it was the worst hotel stay I have had while vacationing. I wish I would have listened to the reviews. Let me first say that yes I can be a slight high maintainence BUT this resort is not anything like I expected. On... more

The Occidental Grand Aruba was wonderful! Everyone was very nice and welcoming to our group. The food, beach, drinks, and pool were all over the top. Great place, good fun!! more

I recently traveled to Aruba with a large group from Maryland and stayed at the OGA for one week! Great weather, great hotel and great beach! We were greeted by the hotel group coordinator with a warm welcome and a cold rum punch! We had a private check-in for our group that was completed very quickly. All of our rooms... more

As the group leader who has planned many trips in the past, the team at the OGA was very accommodating from my first inquiry. It is quite challenging to meet the needs of such a large group of vacationers.... more

Upon arriving at the airport you are greeted by locals handing out brochures about restaurants, shopping and excursions on the island. When we pulled up to this hotel, we were taken back. Compared to some of the others that we saw on our way, this hotel was gorgeous! Check... more

My husband and I just returned from the Occidental Grand Aruba I would highly recommend upgrading to the Royal Club Floors. The concierge is outstanding and the Royal Club restaurant caters to your ever need. The Restaurant Zen was good as well. All others restaurants were just OK. Many honeymooners and all seemed to enjoy themselves. The casino could use... more

Twelve of us stayed at the Occidental Grand Aruba for a family wedding. We all had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
