The Bar/Lounge at Occidental Costa Cancun

"Geared toward families, the resort is situated on a small stretch of beach with turquoise-blue water, palm trees, loungers, and soft white sand"

"Ferries to Isla Mujeres are just steps away from this active resort near El Embarcadero; however, the location also means the beach here is quite small and there are often boats passing by"

"The limitations here are its compact grounds and poor beach, both of which can be avoided by booking Barcelo's sister property, the Tucancun"

") All rooms have minibars, robes and arched alcoves with vanities, but keep in mind that not all have balconies"

"Club patrons have access to a rooftop pool and a private lounge for breakfast and drinks for a nominal uptick in the rates"

"The flat-screen TVs affixed to the walls could be larger, and the lack of a comfortable seating arrangement—there are just two upright armchairs—makes the beds the only place to lounge (apart from the whirlpool tubs)"

"Guests in the Royal Beach Club also have access to a private pool and a lounge offering complimentary buffet breakfast, evening cocktails and all-day snacks and beverages"
