Beautiful property with a fantastic pool and beach area. The dining is limited as the 4 restaurants onsite are always booked so you are limited to the buffet which is good but becomes repetitive after a few days. Staff is nice and facilities are clean.

Overall a good resort but the bedsheets and pillowcase were dirty and workers were somewhat rude and gave us different information than what was given on the website. So either the information was wrong and shouldn’t be on the website or the workers were wrong and giving us a rude attitude.

Several members of their staff came off rude and unwilling to do their job task, ie place dinner reservations for some of the restaurants. On arrival, I entered my room to find a panel of the closet on the floor, the room smelled of mildew and the AC was non existent. TV is outdated. The 2nd night, I had someone knock on my door and before I could answer, let themselves in my room inquiring about my TV (that I never called about). After reporting all of this to the front desk, no one reached out to give an explanation or a new room. NEVER returning to the property again.

Rude staff. COCKROACHES in our room. Several bed bug bites. This resort was an awful experience. My family and I have traveled to many places over the world—this is by far the worst of the worst. I am in shock at how dirty it is and the lack of accountability when it comes to cleaning the rooms. Bed bugs are awful and now I have to deal with them in the comfort of my own home. I will never come here again, not even for free. I will make sure to tell everyone I know to avoid this place.

Dear Ana, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Ocean Blue and Sand Resort. We are deeply sorry to hear about the issues you experienced and sincerely regret that your stay did not meet your particular expectations.We would like to address your concerns regarding cleanliness and pest control. Our resort has a stringent fumigation program in place, managed by an external, professional company. They conduct regular, thorough inspections of all rooms and public areas to prevent pest-related incidents. It is important to note that our recent reports have shown no evidence of bed bugs in our rooms. In the Dominican Republic, especially along the coast, there are sand flies that can cause skin reactions in guests with sensitive skin, which may sometimes be mistaken for bed bug bites.Regarding the presence of cockroaches, we understand how distressing this can be. Despite our best efforts to mitigate their impact, the tropical climate and environment can unfortunately be conducive to their presence. We continue to strive for the highest standards of cleanliness and pest control to ensure our guests' comfort.We are very sorry to hear about your interactions with our staff. This does not reflect the high level of service we aim to provide, and we will be reviewing your comments with our team to ensure all guests are treated with the utmost respect and hospitality.We value every guest's experience and are committed to improving our services based on your feedback. While we regret that we did not meet your particular expectations, we want to assure you that numerous guests have found satisfaction and happiness in our services.Thank you once again for your feedback.

The staffs at this hotel are racist!! The hotel staff have been reported to engage in unauthorized entry into guest rooms, resulting in the theft of personal belongings and currency. Moreover, there have been instances of fabricated accusations and extortion, leading to unwarranted arrests when guests inquire about such incidents, often exacerbated by language barriers. It is recommended to consider alternative accommodations for an enjoyable stay in the Dominican Republic. El personal del hotel ha sido reportado por realizar ingresos no autorizados a las habitaciones de los huéspedes, lo que resulta en el robo de pertenencias personales y dinero.

Let me start by saying this was probably one of the worst “all inclusive” I have been to recently. 1) this is a 2 tier resort, either you are a “regular Guest” or you are a “premium” guest and trust me they make you feel the difference so you can upgrade and buy a vacation package for 20k USD, yes 20 Thousand. 2) our “regular room” had AC malfunction, when we arrived the smell más awful a mix of sewer and humidity. The mini bar was completely empty, I mean nothing at all! What is worst is that it took staff 2 days to fill it! We literally had to beg for them to stack water, the maid had to go out of her way on our second day to get us a semi full mini bar. 2) some Not all workers were just rude. If you didn’t have a “premium” bracelet you were a second class citizen. 3) Food was average at best nothing to wow about. You have to make reservations at some restaurant and if you were not a premium member, guest what? You had to wait til they finished eating. At the sport bar we ordered some wings just to be told by the waiter that the wings were for “premium” members only. The white shirts are salespeople with commission based system where they offer you “premium” status for a cool 19,500 dollars. That’s the entire goal here. Get people to buy a yearly vacation package worth thousands. The night activities were good, probably the best part was the fire show, besides that Michael Jackson show and the piano bar were also good. We made our complaints in person,no one cared.

This is the first Ocean hotel in the Caribbean so it is very outdated. The lobby is an open concept with ZERO fans or ac. Most restaurants and areas also offered ZERO fans or ac. You sit in the steak house in 80 degree weather trying to enjoy your meal. It’s the Caribbean to have no fans or ac in 80-90 degree weather is insane. My room was also kept at 78 degrees and you cannot control the temperature from the room. I have never been sweatier and hotter in my life. If you enjoy sitting in 90 degree weather then this is the place for you. The staff and beach were nice. Miguel was amazing. He was helpful and very knowledgeable. The food was good and the massage at the spa was amazing. Really the resort in itself would be great if they invested in fans or air conditioners.

First off I paid for a certain room and didn’t get it I had to complain then they gave me what I paid for. Then they had these cart that take you to your building on the property and we came across the privilege cart and they told us that they can’t pick us up. Now we go to dinner at the steak restaurant and they took a hour to bring us water then the employee came asking us what we ordered before we even got the food trying to make us pay then after another hour the food comes and my sister food was cold and steak was not cooked all the way. Then we saw a roach crawling on the table and we showed the worker and he killed it then they tried to make us pay for the food still. This place was very unprofessional and rude .

Just back from Ocean Blue and Sand resort. Overall it was a great place, food was outstanding and the staff all very friendly no matter where you went. Stay away from the casino, its a scam to get you in. Only downside, is they only had Presidente beer on site, you could buy bottle beer as in budweiser but when my husband bought a bucket(6 beers) they had only 3 budweiser and 3 corona. Just a suggestion, it would be a good idea to have some ceiling fans in lobby and showtime area as it can get very hot. There was lots of entertainment for all ages and all day long so lots to do.
