Never expected so many problems.

My husband and I just returned from Occidental Caribe. We do have two things that we liked about the resort. First the location of the resort was right on the beach. Second the grounds of the resort are meticulously maintained. Now for the negatives. We had a premier suite, you might think that's great, not so. We had trouble with the toilet not flushing and when it did the water continued to run which we had to deal with while trying to sleep. After three times of reporting the problem and it still continued we gave up. The water in the shower and sink never got hot. We had to turn the water on 10 to 15 minutes before we got warm water. Maintenance said there was nothing wrong. It's sad that during our week stay we wasted so much water trying to get warm water. The TV in the living room did not have a remote control and we called to get one, the person that came to the room told us to use the remote control from the bedroom TV, that d emote. We believe that most of the problems stem from the employees not speaking or understanding the English language. When we used the safe provided, we could not open it again. Called and a security person came and he could not open it. He left then came back and after a while he finally got it open. We had reservations at the Italian Restaurant that got cancelled because of rain and leaking roof at restaurant. There was also a mistake in charging us 6 days for all-inclusive instead of 7 days, which created another problem. Well enough said. We do not recommend this resort. We booked our time sharing exchange thru Interval International and they are getting a copy of this review.
