Ocean Blue & Sand Beach Resort - All Inclusive

Lovely stay would recommend! Just returned from a 7 day stay at Ocean Blue and Sand - for context there was 4 of us female (55, 26, 25 & 14) - Not privilege / premium I was very nervous to go here as some of the reviews were terrible and I was dreading it however in short it was a lovely holiday, the grounds were well kept and I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends. Main points. - they prefer US dollar to their own currency, bring extra for tips. - we had 2 rooms both were very clean (7210 and 7226), air conditioning worked perfectly could do with a little updating and in my room my TV didn’t connect to the internet however my mums room her one did and she could access YouTube but we did not spend a lot of time in the rooms so was not a big problem. The view from the room was not great could only see trees and the worker men carrying stock. - Food!!! So much of a variety and I am a picky eater the buffet is great with live cooking and fantastic deserts there are numerous restaurants to choose from I really enjoyed the Japanese and the Italian restaurant. Although booking the Japanese one was very confusing had to do it online and I was randomly allocated a time , the steakhouse required you to line up at 7:30am to get a slot , the steak is massive and served on a hot plate that you can burn yourself on - I didn’t quite enjoy it to thick and fatty for me. Mikes coffee also deserves a mention as that was some great coffee and cakes. The ice cream parlour was delicious with a range of different flavours - “Welcome package” after reading on here (thank you) we managed to avoid them hounding us to upgrade or book next year but they were out every morning trying to get people to talk to them. On the beach it’s hard to relax as you have people hounding you for different things such as pictures with parrots , monkeys even a dodgy man offering drugs. - The cocktails are honestly not the best I enjoyed some outside of the hotel if I had to choose a favourite I would say ocean blue but only from the reception / lobby bar, the rest seemed weak in alcohol and very lemony no matter which one I tried but the bar staff are lovely ! A great vibe and very quick service. - As with everywhere there are people who wake up at the crack of dawn to reserve sun beds and umbrellas- very annoying as we noticed a family of 6 reserve them and not return for a good 3 hours which was a waste. - Entertainment was great they put on a great show. My favourite was the international quiz where you could use your phone to answer the questions. Bingo was every night but it didn’t look very enjoyable - We did go to the nightclub in the hotel but was not a vibe- mainly Spanish music. - The worst thing is the shop! Extortionate prices $20 for 2 cans of Pringles , $17 for a box of tampons. Spa was also extremely expensive fraction of the price for a massage on saona island (we booked through tui would 10000% recommend).

Fun in Punta Cana This is, without a doubt, an absolutely beautiful resort. I had the pleasure of visiting for a week with family, and I can speak for everyone when I say we had lots of fun! There are so many events and activities to keep you entertained, and the dinners were great. Argenis and Yoan were exceptional!

Augustine Trip 2024 We had a family of 17 people spend our summer vacation here and loved everything about it! Make sure to become a privileged guest for extra goodies and request for the best butler ever Argentis, who will take care of all your needs! He was amazing and took great care of our family! Thanks again.

Argenis makes the trip perfect! Beautiful resort. Everyone is friendly & accommodating. The pool is Amazing, the beach is great! The food has been wonderful and there's plenty to do. However, the entire experience is made so much better by our butler, Argenis! He's fun, funny, polite and sees to our every need! Thank You, Argenis!

Left with Bites all over my legs Firstly, I got either bed bug or flea bites during my stay here. And they had one doctor who couldn’t even give me advice on what to do because “it could be used against her”. Secondly, we had to go through the entire “time share” or “premium” tour, which was ridiculous. One of the staff even invited themselves to our breakfast, where we simply could not eat peacefully. After a gruesome 2 hours, we were able to persuade them to not show us the privilege (or premium) rooms, and they were still mad that we had declined the offer. The pool and amenities were nice, but I wish the pool would’ve been open for longer instead of just until 6:50PM.
