Occidental Grand Playa Turquesa ReviewThis large resort is set above a beautiful broad beach and next to some lovely natural forests. Perhaps the most distinctive features here are the seven swimming pools, several connected in cascading fashion by waterfalls. Rooms are large, modern, and well kept. They have large, cool, ceramic tile floors in a checkerboard pattern, and stylish wrought-iron headboards over the beds. All have private balconies, although many of these are quite compact. The grounds here are lush and shady. There are several good a la carte dining options, as well as the ubiquitous large buffets. The pizza and ice-cream stand on the beach is a big hit here. This hotel has an extensive array of watersports and activities, and an excellent children's program. Facilities: 5 restaurants; 2 snack bars; 6 bars; dance club; nightly show; 7 outdoor pools; 8 lit outdoor tennis courts; gym; football court; Jacuzzi; sauna; watersports equipment; children's center and programs; concierge; tour desk; car- and scooter-rental desk; massage; babysitting; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms.

| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
