Ocean Blue was a great hotel - the best part is Mike's Coffee - it's like having your own Starbucks on site. The crowd seemed to be a bit older but we also weren't there during high vacation season. more

First time to the Dominican Republic. I found the location and grounds first class and very clean. Pool areas are spotless and not too over crowded We stayed in Block 8 overlooking the Palm trees which was much more quiet at day and night rather than over looking the pool. Rooms a little dated but large and airey. Food was... more

Myself and by BF (31&32) went to Ocean Blue and Sand from Feb 24- Mar 10. We absolutely loved it! We stayed in the Sand side (Villa 9) and went with First Choice/Thomson. The rep was good, she seemed knowledgeable about the hotel and about Bavaro and although she promoted some excursions there wasn’t really the hard sell that I’ve... more

The facility is very nice. The pool and beach are close to the villas and the restaurants are a short walk or ride if you choose. The staff is not overly friendly and you do well to leave small tips at each restaurant. Make sure you have long pants and closed shoes to be able to get into the restaurants.... more

Ocean Blue it's a nice resort. We were traveling with a toddler, and only used the main buffet which was very good and had lots of choices. Pool is nice, beach is beautiful, rooms are very large and clean. Resort was full of canadians. The bad: we had to get up at 6:30 in the morning to reserve a lounge... more

Our group of ten retruned less than a week ago from a 12 night stay. Most of the group was in Villa 4. The rooms were very clean, but the furniture is a bit beat up. Some of our party had a challenge getting their towels and washcloths, but we personally didn't have problems. We left a few dollars every... more

We were here the 1st week of Feb 2010 and the weather could not be better. Sunny and 30C everyday. This resort is clean and well maintained. Pools have vast shallow areas so kids can slash around and make new friends. Did some diving with the on-site shop and the international staff is great. Beach in front of the resort... more

This resort has it all! The beach was beautiful, clear blue water and white sands. We always found chairs by the pool in the morning and by the beach in the afternoon. We exchanged our wet towels daily without any hassle. We stayed in Villa 9 and our room was very clean and I loved the marble bathroom and large... more

We just returned from Ocean Blue on Feb. 20th. The hotel is beautiful. The beach is the best although beware of the sand fleas. The water is blue and clear and the sand is white and clean. The food was good but not fantastic. We liked the buffet but the tastes seem to blend together by the end of our... more
