Congratulations on your wedding! You won't regret going to the Occidental. The resort is very nice and it's on the best part of Palm Beach and right in the middle of all the resorts, shop, and restaurants. I'm not sure if you have the all-inclusive or not, but the food seems to get a lot of mixed reviews. I have a non-all-inclusive timeshare and have only eaten at the resort once so I can't really speak on the quality of the restaurants. If you have the non-all-inclusive, there are many excellent restaurants within walking distance.

As for downtown, the bus goes back and forth to town for $2.30 round trip. There is a stop right outside the resort and ends at the bus terminal in town. It's easy to get on the right bus at the terminal, just look for the bus going to Resorts.
