Occidental Grand in Punta Cana

[TLC4Rock]

Anyone getting married here? Know of anyone that had their wedding here?

 

So far I have heard great reviews of the location but wanted more insight with the wedding coordinators for the site. As always interested in any thought you have to share!

Well, guess it looks like BDW does not have any Occidental Grand brides!?

 

Either this is a good thing or bad!?

 

Nonetheless, I their wedding packages if anyone is interested.

i've stayed at this resort 5 years ago, i don't know much about the wedding but i could answer some questions about the resort if you need it.

[TLC4Rock]

Yes, please share! You can send me a PM or reply.

 

I know the hotel changed name and merged with another resort. A couple I know had their honeymoon there last year and said it was awesome. So that's all I have to go by. Also I checked the travel site....expedia...orbitz and etc. :-)

 

I really interested in brides experience. I would love to know good/bad.

I also went there for a vacation about 3 years ago. It was a nice resort, it's not huge but not small either so you kind of got the best of both worlds. The staff are really friendly and most speak decent english so the language barrier isn't bad if you don't know too much spanish.

 

While we were there they were renovating the restaurants and the ones we went to that hadn't been renovated yet were fine so I'm sure there really nice now. The beach is beautiful!!! I don't remeber ever seeing seaweed buildup and we never had to get up early to reserve chairs either.

 

I'm sure you'll love this resort! Any other questions feel free to ask!!

Thanks for the feedback! I love the idea of it small! One the reasons I wanted a destination wedding is because I wanted an intimate wedding.
