Staff was exceptional. Beach and pool were great. Meals were ok. Didn't appreciate the pushiness of the after dark souvenir salespersons. Plenty of space around the pool for thoses looking for chairs. The 'no towel reserving policy was not really being enforced. Pool bar is a little small (@10 seats).

I traveled to Ocean Blue and Sand, as a couple and with another couple. We sought out Punta Cana for a quick Christmas getaway, because we had never been there and could get there easily - nonstop flights and short travel duration to resort after landing. We also stayed at a H10 Hotel in the past, so OB&S was our resort choice. Having stayed at another H10 Hotel (Ocean Coral and Turquesa in Puerto Morelos, Mexico), we knew what the resort had to offer for amenities, Privilege, restaurants/food, etc. The resort is "U" shaped, with the inner-gardens and pools in the center of the "U", and the beach is at the open end of the "U". Try to ask for a room facing inside the "U". You will end up with a inner-garden, pool or partial ocean view. The resort is quite large (or long), and you will find yourself walking a lot to get from the beach to the restaurants or front lobby (curve part of the "U"). Not a huge issue for us, because we don't mind walking, but if you do there is a "shuttle" (or golf cart) that drives the grounds, and you can hop on if you like. Majority of the restaurants are located at the front of the resort. We were not able to reserve a Privilege room when booked the trip, but we did ask to upgrade to the services upon arrival. The hotel accommodated us, and we were upgraded to Privilege services for an additional fee. This may not happen for every guest, but it doesn't hurt to ask. We still had a "basic" room/suite, which was fine for our stay. We mostly wanted the Privilege services for making dinner reservations, access to the Privilege lounge, upgraded liquor, Privilege section on beach, etc. I think the Privilege rooms had pillow service, bathrobes and slippers in room, beach towels, etc. We didn't miss these items in our room and we're just as happy. I do wish there were more bali-beds in the Privilege beach section. We were up by 7am each day to get our bed, and it was slim pickings then. They were all gone by 7:30am. This could have been because we were at the resort during Christmas and there was high occupancy. OR...because people were reserving 3 at a time, or people wold reserve and not even use them during the day (happens at all resorts, but still!), or because there are not as many beds as Privilege suites.... I am not sure. The beach is narrow at OB&S, so they may not be able to add more beds, so just be forewarned and aware of the limited availability. Big kudos to the staff in the Privilege areas!!! Mercedes, at the Privilege beach, was very attentive and worked hard. She always made sure we had water and asked if there was anything we needed. Also, Natalie at the Privilege lounge desk was very attentive and provided superior service. She always remembered us when we saw her each day, and she cheerfully greeted us, joked around, and always made sure we were happy. The restaurants were great, the Disco was fun, the shows in the afternoon entertaining, the piano bar superb, etc. There were some mix-ups with food orders at the restaurants a few nights, or the service was a little slow but what can you do. We still had a great time and enjoyed our stay at Ocean Blue and Sand.

I had a large group Jan 15 through 23, 2015 that I booked through Apple Vacations. All 80 of us had a wonderful time and it would not have happened without the staff at The Ocean Blue, I would like to mention a few of them...when checking in Ivelisse Cordones was a tremendous help and in the dining area everyone was wonderful and we had Wilfredo frequently who took great care of us and at the pool bar was Yohan who remembered us from last year. Then I have Daria in Guest Relations who was always there for me and set up golf for many of my golfers at an awesome rate ! THANKS once again !! Now for the Apple Representatives a HUGE shout out to Regi and Francis who made everything happen as well!!! You ALL make our vacation memorable !! I can't forget Mini Mi and Michael Jack as well !!!! Both of you sure know how to get everyone involved around the Resort!! We will miss all of you again A BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE I MENTIONED and I sure I am forgetting some.
