Well maintained resort

Very enjoyable experience staying at this resort. Clean, well managed, recently renovated suits. Good food with a lot of variety and choices . Enforced covid protocols. Excellent coffee in the coffee shop. Will recommend to anybody, solo, couples or families .

A Good Resort

It’s a good resort but definitely wouldn’t of enjoyed it if I didn’t have a privilege room. The perks made it better but I wouldn’t return. It’s an older building with a small beach area. If your not privileged you have to wait in line for a restaurant. Service is good when you tip a lot

Safe and awesome Resort!

This is one of the most beautiful resorts in Punta Cana. The grounds and landscaping are absolutely gorgeous and well maintained. Due to covid only 3 out of the six restaurants were open per night, however this resort has an excellent large buffet dining room open until 10:30. One night we were hungry and they let us in late past 10:30 with a big welcome and no rush to leave. The staff is amazing especially Kelvin at the reception desk was helpful at all times and very kind. The Restaurant Manag [... read more]er Esmali was very attentive to his staff and the guests. He always made sure everyone was taken care of was always seen around all the restaurants making sure things ran smoothly. The Animation team was excellent too and always encouraging guests to get involved during the day as well as in the evening during showtime. Chocolate, Spaghetti, and Little Cooper as well as one Animation worker who always dresses in costume so friendly but I can't remember his name. The night he dressed as Spiderman was a big hit among the kids! The swim up bartender Manuel always took care of us too, sweet man. Alexander the singing Bartender was excellent too and always kept us entertained! The wait staff was awesome too. We were always greeted every morning at the buffet for breakfast by Pedro, and Christy, Argentina, and Moses and many other wonderful employees, One of the friendliest staffs we have met and we travel quite often. Punta Cana is one of our favourite destinations, gorgeous weather beautiful people. We decided to travel to this gorgeous resort because we had been there before. We knew we would feel safe with all their Covid protocols and we are so glad we chose Ocean Blue and Sand.

10 Days of Sunshine

Nothing but sunshine from morning to night. Rooms were relatively basic, but nice. Had a pool view - garden view looks out over service road and jungle. Food was phenomenal. A row of a la cartes including; Steak House, Italian, American (Route 66), Mexican, French (romantic), Japanese, Sportsbar, Coffee Bar, and an excellent Buffet. The batting cage was open 3 nights, but the 6-lane bowling alley with 4 pool tables and a ping-pong table open every night. The nightly entertainment team was  [... read more]top notch as well.

Ocean blue and sands punta cana

The grounds and rooms were beautiful very clean . Food was delicious .All a la carted we’re yummy. They did a amazing job keeping cleanliness and looking after the guest .I definitely felt comfortable and would recommend this resort.

Deceptive Resort, No Beach Whatsoever

Taxis extort you and they lie about there being no Uber! 40 USD for somewhere that costs 700 Dominican pesos! They will make you walk off the resort to get an Uber and send taxis to follow you and threaten you and your Uber. Bug bites everywhere- they don’t fumigate properly. Drink glasses the size of two ounces. My child’s sippy cup is triple the size of their glasses for drinks! Flies all over the buffet because they’re too cheap to turn on the AC. Air Canada rep wasn’t on site the ent [... read more]ire duration of my vacation so we weren’t able to talk to anyone about leaving to another resort and we’re trapped there. Only 1-2 Restaurants are open per night from 6-10 pm and if you even arrive by 7:00 pm they’re somehow full for the night! This happened several times so we couldn’t even eat at any restaurants. They don’t provide straws for drinks (unhygienic and gross). No water bottles- just filtered water in their glasses that smelled bad. There is no beach. Massive sandbags which look like dead whales on the beach everywhere in the ocean to protect the Beach from further damage. I understand that part is out of their control but it’s unacceptable and they didn’t disclose this before I spent my money with them. They need to tell people that the Beach is the ugliest thing you’ll ever set eyes on.

Amazing resort.

The food was great. Loved the entertainment. Pool is fantastic. All the a la cartes were very good and available. I would definitely return. We had an amazing time and met some really nice people from around the world. They dealt with the covid issue in a very good way. Was glad the swim up bar was open.

First time to Dominican and never going back!

I thought the hotel and everything was great until I discovered I was robbed by my maid (male) I stayed November 4 through to the 11th. I and my husband have travelled over 20 times and have never ever had this issue. I know there’s nothing I can do except not refer this resort to anybody, or never ever return myself. I am completely heartbroken as my charm bracelet will never be replaceable in total about $3000 was taken from my room between my FULL Pandora bracelet my four rings and my Lu [... read more]lulemon vest. Not sure if anybody could contact me as it’s not easy to get a hold of you guys. I stayed in room 8106 I had two toddlers. Just a heads up might want to find out who’s doing that I would hate for somebody else to go through what I just did. 😭💔

Punta Cana, Ocean Blue Resort, Bavaro Beach

During covid it was a challenge to finally arrive at resort. It was an incredible stay at this beautiful resort, we upgraded on arrival to the privilege rooms which are much bigger and we had our own private beds and lounge chairs on the beach, also had our very own contiki bar service, which was outstanding. We highly recommend upgrading once there if it’s available. Can’t say enough good things about our experience! Just be aware there is a big issue with seaweed on the shore! Resort did t [... read more]heir best to clean it daily or every other day to make it more pleasant for the guests! Highly recommended! Our return to Canada due to covid was much more challenging expect many delays before you get out of plane and terminal!

Amazing

Excellent Hotel Good service Amazing place Nice people too 🙂🥇 Of course I will visit the same place again another time, very happy and pleased I will recommend it to others if they want to spend their holidays there Ocean blue and sand only!!!

An average resort

Definitely not a 5-star hotel. The problems: 1. The safe, the TV remote, the telephone and the coffee maker did not work. It took two calls to fix the safe, two calls to replace the coffee maker, three visits to the reception to fix the telephone and the remote was never fixed 2. Ala carte restaurants were extremely hard to book - unlike other resorts, here it was not possible to book in advance, but just for the same day. So every day you have to be at guest services at 9 am to book. 3. Line [... read more]ups and long wait for food (at the beach snack bar) and for drinks. 4. The maid usually came to clean the room at 6-7 pm, so we did not have the room made up for 2-3 days. The things we liked: 1. The pools - a lot of them and suited for everybody; young or old; well maintained too 2. The buffet variety, especially fish and seafood. Tasty too. 3. Generally, the hotel territory looks nice. 4. The personnel works hard to entertain the guests.

Very good resort

My wife and I visited ocean blue with our son march 6th to the 13th good trip staff was friendly and took good care of us the buildings need work our room was beautiful but our sons room was moldy and the air condition didn't work he complained 3 times they didn't move him till I went to the manager food was above average beach is eroded pretty bad pool staff fantastic had a great time didn't do anything our anniversary would consider going back

Great trip!

Recently stayed at this resort with my soon to be wife. Met some family there. The room we were first in was an older room, hadn't had any renovations as of yet. The A/C did not work which made it hard to sleep. After some talking with the staff we were put in to an amazing room and they were very accommidating. The food and enteratin were very good and pools were fantastic. The beach suffered from storms but didn't seem to affect the 10 days there. Great place to relax and enjoy good company!

Overall good 4/5

Overall we enjoyed our stay with the Privileged upgrade. While we weren’t “wowed” by anything, there wasn’t much to complain about either. I’d recommend trying if at a good price. However, we’ll probably try another resort on our next trip in our search for “the best” in this price range.

Great location

The best about this place are the workers at the pool, bars, restaurants and buffet. They are all hard workers and always have a smile on their faces. Both pools are very enjoyable and the beach is so so.

Beautiful and amazing resort

Stunning resort, beautiful, well maintained grounds, amazing food, fabulous Mike's coffee! All employees were very helpful, with any questions or needs! Great beach area! There were ppl on the beach selling goods, but found them to be respectful and not pushy. The only negative was that our room had a hint of musty odor.

A good resort

The resort was really nice. The room was very spacious and very clean. The bedding was change every day and along with fresh towels in the bathroom. The bathrooms need to be upgraded but everything was functioning. The restaurants offer a wide variety International food. The main restaurant buffet what's an excellent choice also. The grounds and pools we're amazing with swim-up bars at both the large pools. As for the beach area in front of the resort it is nothing like the pictures in their ad  [... read more]as it has been washed away by storms. And they have put man made barriers in the water to protect what is left of the shoreline. There is still lot of beach area to both the left and right of the resort. Overall we were pleased with the resort. It is a good value for your money.

Incredible vacation

The staff went above and beyond! Decorated our room for my husbands birthday! Always smiling happy and ensuring our day was great! Grounds were very well kept. Pools were gorgeous . Buffet was great . Only downside was that a few a la cartes were closed each night . Otherwise everything was wonderful - love the new ice cream hut!

Excellent trip

My wife and I just returned from Ocean Blue and Sand all-inclusive vacation booked entirely by Tripcentral in Hamilton. We enjoyed the trip immensely. It is a beautiful resort - very well maintained, with comfortable rooms and great service. The food had great variety and there were entertaining events to attend every night. We even watched the SuperBowl on a large screen on the main patio. The only complaint I have is that I am a tall person, so there was not enough leg room on the flig [... read more]ht for me. I would recommend this trip for my friends for sure!

Good, not great.

So let's start off with the drinks, unless your a premier member, top shelf drinks are NOT included. However being the avid partier that I am, the drinks that the staff made were delicious anyways. The grounds were very nice, with a few exceptions. In between building 8 and building 9, there's was a disgusting smell of raw sewage that you literally passed through unless you walked the exterior of the building. At one point we all got notices on our door of whether or not we wanted to ha [... read more]ve fumigation done. Thinking it was just a standard practice in hotels, I didn't give it much thought. However one of our friends who stayed on the lower floor walked out her door one night to see huge cockroach scattering. Talk about the heebie geebies. Be careful with the massages you book, they fail to tell you, but on contract you sign, if you miss your appointment or cancel, they try to still charge you half the amount. My wife argued until they gave in, but for someone not as assertive, they will sucker you. The food? I thought the food was great in the buffet and restaurants, I will say however that one of our friends got sick after eating in the Japanese place. 2 days later, another person (she hadn't eaten at the Japanese yet), then out last day, I also got sick. I mean stuck in the room as if I had the flu with severe pains in my upper abdomen. We found out that day 7 people were admitted to the hospital for food related illnesses. The excursions were a blast, but the people who actually work for the hotel, and stay in the lobby, although they say they give the best deals- that's false. We've found much better deals with guys on the beach, or guys floating around the resort. Our experience was alot of fun, mainly because of the company, but I definitely will not be returning to this hotel.
