We booked this hotel at the suggestion of our travel agent and were very happy with the choice. Two very large swimming pools, a gorgeous beach and ample amounts of shade available, although you had to get up early to get a shelter on the beach or umbrella at the pool! Service was excellent and the staff was very friendly and attentive. There were ample restaurant choices and the food was good...never had a bad meal. Certainly not gourmet, but we were going for the atmosphere, not a gourmet selection. The FRiday night Apple dinner on the beach was very entertaining and very much appreciated. Rooms were clean...the only issue was occasionally the air conditioning had a hard time keeping up with the heat, but the ceiling fans did a great job. The hotel was clean and all staff was friendly especially Charlie Brown, Sammy, Willie Wonka and Stephanie! Great family vacation with plenty of activities going on daily or you could just kick back and relax if you wanted. Would recommend and would return.

We enjoyed our stay at Ocean Blue with a large group of families with graduating seniors. The complex was small enough that you could find your friends but big enough to disappear if you wanted. The grounds were very nice and the beach was amazing. The food was very good-much better than we expected. It would be nice to have a place for adults to dance. The club was very small and geared to teens. Overall, a very good experience.

Beautiful resort, clean and well maintained grounds. Bathrooms could use an update from wear. Beach area would be much better with different shade unbrellas. Beach is clustered with the canapy covers and it looks bad. Pools were great. Maid service was good but unpredictable as to times and sometimes clean towels were not brought back to room until late in day. I would love to return to this resort.

Facilities were nice/clean nothing fancy or Luxury...but very enjoyable. Food at the buffet was only so so... get your reservations at the restaurants ASAP for much better food options. The steak house is especially good. Beautiful Beach as well. .. More>

Planned this trip for 5 families, and every person thanked me profusely and said they LOVED the resort. Rooms were spacious and clean, pools sparkling, beach was sandy and beautiful, plenty of chairs in sun or shade. The food was delicious, the restaurants had reasonable waiting lists and we always got in. The buffet was clean, delicious, fresh. The staff was very pleasant and responsive to everything. We just had a wonderful time!! We especially enjoyed the long beach with room for long sunrise walks. Oh, yeah, the beach bar and pool bar were perfect. :) At night, the activity tended to center up to the lobby area, the theater, and the restaurants, and it was festive and exciting. The entertainment staff kept the fun up all day and late into the evening. Perfect.

The food needs improvement, had to constantly ask for fresh towels and face clothes, need more organization and English speaking staff ,overall we had a great time and may return someday in near future .. More>

We recently stayed at the Ocean Blue & Sand Resort in a Punta Cana DR. Everything from our rooms to food to entertainment was top notch. This resort had the best food we've ever had at an all inclusive. The entertainment staff keeps guests entertained from sun up to late into the night if you choose to participate. We took two teens (age 16 and 18) they met many other teens and participated in most of the planned activities. They enjoyed this resort a lot. We would recommend this resort to anyone with families. Other amenities that this resort has to offer is an on site dive shop called Pelicano. My husband and two teens scuba dived with them and found them to be professional, knowledgable and boats and five equipment was of good quality. There is also an area of shops located right off the resort beachside that makes shopping for souvenirs convenient. The resort does a good job of security keeping the grounds safe and unwanted sellers out. We would rate it a 10 out of 10!

Stayed at OBS for a week, our third time at this resort. Food is good, plenty of choises for everyone. Staff is great all around. They will ask you to go to H 10 info meeting. We just say no thanks and move on. No problem. Some spring breakers my week, blaa. Still good. Going back next year. .. More>

Overall our saty was excellent! I really enjoyed all the great service and awesome weather. The beach and pool were very well kept and refreshing. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and satisfying. The only draw back was the having to sit through a 2 1/2 hour "ownership" presentation which we were never interested in in the first place. On daily basis we were asked if we attended the presentation. Other then that our stay was better then we could have imagined. Our first trip to the the Dominican and we will consider returning and also recommend to friends.

This was my 5th time to Punta Cana and my 4th time to Ocean Blue and it's like my second home. I came to Ocean Blue with my one girlfriend in March and we had a great time. The weather was perfect and the hotel was as beautiful as I remembered. I love all the remodeling they have done in the lobby, definitely better then before. More seating at night time so you can always find a spot to enjoy a drink and listen to their live music or crazy entertainment team. The entertainment team does a great job to make your vacation fun, if that's the type of vacation you want. They always have activities to do or shows they put on or will grab you for dance at night. Thanks to Charlie Brown for always making me feel like I'm home when I come to Ocean Blue. Charlie does a great job with all the activities and always makes sure to say hello when he sees me or even grabs a dance if he sees me. The food this time was the best I have had but it has gotten better every year I have come back. The rooms are always clean and whatever you need the guys/girls in the privileged area will do whatever you need. Edwin and sexy black are the best bartenders, thanks for always getting my drinks :) I can't wait to go back, just wish it was sooner then later.

We stayed here beginning of April for two weeks, il be honest the first few days was still full of spring breakers with their parents, coming back to their rooms all night upto 4.30 am screaming and woooing did my nut in!!! Once they disappeared things were better. We didn't get the interconnecting rooms as booked as Thomson didn't send the request but fortunately the rooms were two away from each other and we had pool views so decided to stay where we were. The meals were lovely, always plenty of choice can't understand where the bad meal reviews come from. We only ate at the steakhouse once which seemed to be very popular,personally, we preferred the buffet so ate there. The drinks are very hit and miss and regularly got the wrong drinks, that's because they try taking to many orders at once. The pool and beach area are lovely, get plenty of cream on though, you fry!! Our rep pinky was fab, even brought me some Dramamine for sea sickness for our trips. Dolphin explorer.....wow, 45 mins two dolphins was a dream come true. All in all a fab holiday, I would come again, probably when it wasn't spring break.

Just got back from a seven day stay. My wife and I are seasoned travellers. I have great heartburn understanding how this "so called" resort is rated more than a 2 on Trip Advisor. I am even more skeptical about the basis of this resorts ranking on Trip Advisor, based on the negative comments of other families and folks stated to us, while staying there. Do not buy "Privilege". We waited 3 days before we were moved to a privileged room. Some pool staff were disgusting....making obscene gestures to young girls. This, along with a "so called" butler who was more interested in demonstrating his disgusting behavior with a female staff member while driving guests to dinner, solidified my negative view. Felix and Yonathan, you are remarkable and professional young men. Hope they turf the current management (if I can call them that) and promote you both who do understand guest service. Would never darken the door of this place again even if it were free. This is, without a doubt, the worst place were have ever stay at.

The resort is absolutely beautiful, the restaurants are great (Blue Moon was our favorite...the food was fantastic and the staff were the friendliest by far!), the buffet is pretty good (lots of choices so you can find something you'll like), and the pools are huge and well kept. If you want a chair at the pool get out early. It was unfortunate that so many people saved pool chairs and we're no where to be seen for hours. I would recommend removing towels from chairs that are obviously not occupied and sit there because there were so many people that left their towels in their chairs and we're never seen by the pool. The alcohol was cheap and not that great. If you want anything but the bottom shelf stuff then you'll have to upgrade to "Privledged" guests. The most shocking part of he trip was how dirty the rooms were. We traveled with another couple and both our rooms were gross. The comforters and throw pillows are white and you could see hairs from other guest, dirt and makeup all over hem. We never slept with the comforter on the bed (gross!). The rooms were never cool enough for us but I guess since the comforters were gross it was okay since we didn't freeze at night with just a sheet on. They didn't constantly restock our fridge...we had to call after 2 days not being restocked and their excuse was that they only do it every couple days but their brochure in the rooms said it was supposed to be restocked daily. We stayed in building 4 on the back side (with a view of the service road). I actually didn't mind our view because our room was quiet at night. We never heard any of our neighbors and only occasionally heard people passing by our room. Most people were in by 10 pm. The beds were very uncomfortable and the pillows were so flat. We each used two pillows and it still wasn't enough. I thought the hotel staff were extremely friendly and we weren't even "Privileged" guests. The same bell boy (Omar) that brought our suitcase to our room the first day picked us and our luggage up when we were leaving and he remembered us (and we didn't remember him). My husband only knows a little Spanish and he was trying it out of the staff and they were very helpful teaching him when he didn't know how to say certain things. They are very fluent in multiple languages (we were impressed). Like I said before our favorite waiters were at the Blue Moon. One guy sings and dances when he shakes the martinis and another guy sounds like a canary when he whistles. They were very entertaining! They also had the best filet and mahi mahi we've ever had! The stuffed mussels were also amazing!!! I can't remember the full name but the "seda" martini was the best. It tasted like a White Russian. We went scuba diving through the dive shop at the resort. It was a good experience. We also did the "outback" excursion which I would the recommend. I'll review both of these on their pages. Both of these we're extra money but highly recommended. I thought the free activities were lacking. We wanted to do water sports on one day but they we're closed due to the Easter holiday. These costs extra too which I thought was kind of a rip off. The organized activities were kind of dumb. I'm glad we only stayed 5 nights because we would have run out of things to do. We bowled twice...each day you get a free game. We also played pool a couple of times. I didn't go to the disco but my husband and his friend went and they said it was lame. The piano bar was decent...mostly middle aged people though. We went to the "Broadway" show on our 2nd night there....the dancing was good but the lip-singing was terrible and distracting...the entertainers didn't know all the words and it brought the entertainment value down a lot....we didn't go back to another show. Overall we would recommend this place as long as you realize the rooms are not the cleanest we've ever stayed at.

Stayed here for my wedding with 25 people in our party. The resort is amazing not too big that you can't walk around the grounds but big enough that you don't feel crowded by other guests. The resort was full when we stayed there and we had no problem getting chairs by the pool and no problems getting reservations at the dining rooms. Good points. The staff, they are all super friendly without invading your space. Special mention to black swagger and willy wonka who always came over to our group and chatted. Also Vladimir and Ricardo who were great bartenders. The rooms, we had the honeymoon suite but to be honest all of the rooms I saw looked great. They were spacious and clean. Minibar will be stocked daily. The restaurants, I enjoyed everywhere I ate, best probably being the Italian and the French. Some of our group had children so ate in the buffet and even that was good. Plenty of choice and the oriental night they had was pretty good. We did the seafood restaurant which would usually be a supplement unless you are privileged. Food looked and tasted amazing but was just far too much. Not a complaint just if you are not a big eater it might not be worth the extra. The bars, the piano bar is a nice change especially when they have the guitarist playing. Sports bar is ok you will get most sports on in there and in your room. Including premier league although you might have to put up with Spanish commentary. The bar down on the beach near the climbing wall is fun especially around sunset great place to take photos and enjoy a beer or 3. The beach is lovely, certainly clean and we'll maintained. Beach chairs in the shade can be difficult to find but if you are willing to move chairs around you will be fine. The cabanas in the privileged section are too close together as a previous review says but nowhere is perfect. Great place to stay as a family, couple, or with friends something for everyone I think. Thank you Ocean blue for a great time.
