Ocean Blue & Sand, Punta Cana

My family and I stayed there for my husband's birthday, and we had an amazing time. The rooms were great, and the beds were extremely comfortable. I asked the concierge to help decorate our room for his birthday, and every detail was amazing. Every single person on staff was welcoming and provided excellent service. But a special shout out to Juan Feliz, Evelyn Yillen, Jaro. They all made us feel like family, and their service was top tier. We would definitely come back and stay at this resort again.

We arrived 1.11.24, on our arrival we were met by the bell boys who said to go to reception. Our gentleman behind the desk did remember us and asked how many times we had been. This was our 10th trip to the ocean blue and sands. A few things have changed since our last visit 2 years ago. The door key is now on your wrist bands which if you are like me and keep misplacing them it's great. Given villa 8, so as you walk down towards the beach is on the left hand side of the resort. Just to side of the 1st pool ( quiet pool) 3rd floor so we had a nice view of the hotel and we casks also see the sea when we looked over the balcony. The room was refurbished since our last trip, very clean and fresh. No bath in the bath room but that was OK for us as we shower anyway. The shower gel, shampoo etc is now in refillable bottles which is better. Also the body creams and liquid hand wash by the sinks in the bathroom. We had a huge bed which was reasonably comfortable with 3 pillows each, so plenty to choose from. Plenty of space for clothes in the wardrobe which also had a steamer in there if you needed it. A safe included in the wardrobe as well. A well stocked fridge with sodas, water and beer. Also a coffee maker in the room which we didn't use. Very happy with our room. (8304) Food We find that the breakfast is one of the best as we generally always go to the omelette station as they're freshly made to order. I also found the bagels good as you toast them yourself, plenty of choice with everything. We only used the villa marina at lunch time for a slice of pizza or a toasted sandwich. We used most of the restaurants in the evening, buffet was generally good loved the fresh cuts of roasted meats, fish etc. Nice fresh veg choice. Alway something to have if you didn't like the theme on that night. So slay bread cheese cold meat etc We used the steak house and the tuna, pichana steak and the ribs are out favourite there. The sensi was great food and very entertaining a must while you are there. The Mexican was also good, these are go to places for food in the evening. Mike's for great cup of coffee to finish the meal, a great combo The lobby for a drink before bed, the staff are great there. Thank you to Francisco, sexy black, noella, plus the others for the service in the evenings. We also used the piano lounge a lot as its air-conditioning was refreshing The OBS we have always found clean, they all work so hard to keep it that way. The pools, bars, restaurants, rooms, walkways and gardens all well maintained For the 1 st time this time we decided to up grade to privileged for the last 5 days of of holiday. Kept the same room but had the services. We loved the view at the beach for breakfast but thought the quality was not as good and as we spoke to people who also had the same opinion. We liked the private privilege lounge there as well. Great to have lunch there as well. Ambar and elvin also provided a great service for us. The area given to the privileged section by the pool was good with waiter service and they're own bar area. We didn't use the cabanas on the beach so can't comment there. The little bus that runs about the resort was helpful when it rains but can get very busy at times Thank you for another great holiday ocean blue and sands Hope to return soon

We first came here 2014 and 2016; November of 2024 did not disappoint. Gabrela at the ice cream stand was absolutely a JOY and so wonderful. Her smile will heal the world. Gabrela, never change your cute, adorable, caring style of serving others!!!!

Beautiful resort, excellent buffet options and wonderful helpful staff. The room and bathroom were a bit worn- but the air con worked :):) It was a comfortable stay- the room was cleaned daily and the towels were always changed. The fridge was always stocked. There was always space by the pool, the bar staff at the pool were beyond excellent and we always got reservations at the other restaurants. The buffet was amazing- so many options and everything tasted delicious!!! The waiting staff were attentive - esp Jose :) The drinks were always generous. We weren’t hassled for tips or time shares- everyone was polite and when our key card didn’t work- someone always came out promptly to help us. We had the best time and would recommend others to visit. Only cons were- We didn’t use the jacuzzi as the tub wasn’t very clean. The shower can do with a little more power and the bathroom can do with a refurb. When we went for the boat tour, we had to take our shoes off for the speed boat - the floor was dirty with hairs and it was very icky. But the tour guides and the experiences we had on the tours were great and we enjoyed ourselves- the pirate ship and snorkelling was one of the greatest experiences myself and the kids have had and would do it again. thanks for a wonderful experience and for all the hospitality and welcome.
