We planned this trip many months in advance, and as a result, our expectations were high. We weren't disappointed as the resort was beautiful and very comfortable. The amenities were all very nice and the pool was awesome. In particular, several employees stood out and went "above and beyond" to make our stay nice. Our meals were made very special... More

I love this Hotel. Entertainment group is very friendly and full of life. Wili wonka, yohan and Alejandro did a great job in leading the entertainments. The buffet had a lot of choices and the good is great. The pool area is amazing never felt like it was too crowded the swim up bar staff was very good.

My husband and I stayed at Ocean Blue from June 3-9 2013 for our honeymoon. The resort was recommended to us by our Apple rep during booking and we were very pleased with our stay. PROS -Very clean, rooms kept up well, service almost too good (they visit your room frequently throughout the day to see if you need anything)... More

I loved the hotel, the entertainment staff, especially Willy Wonka. They were great the whole week, food was great. The theatre show every night was great, and the staff continues to have a good time in the Disco after work. Definitely a location I want to visit again.
