Better than expected!
Had a great time here. Food in the main buffet was good, but quality could have been better and food hotter. The themed restaurants were good, never any problems and drinks were plentiful.
We were staying in Privilege room and the benefits are worth it. Waiters by the pool always fletching drinks all day.
Loved that there was entertainment every night, otherwise could have been a little boring in the evenings. Due to a cancelled flight I had the opprtunity to stay in a more expensive neighbouring hotel which had no entertainment.
There were no problems at all with bugs or mosquitos anywhere.
I would definitely come back again.

Overall we had an amazing time! All the staff we met were so friendly fly and helpful. The food was great at the buffet and speciality restaurants. The only slight loss in score for cleanliness is the room had a wooden floor and it felt dirty the whole time. Not blaming our housekeeper i just think it’s hard to keep it clean when people are walking in from the pool etc. Loved the stay overall and would highly recommend it.

It's a very beautiful resort. They can work on the ventalation, and insulation of the pool side rooms. It has a bad odor, and hold moisture regardless if the a.c is running or not. We met a lot of generous staff, and some were very rude. They acted as if they didn't care for black Americans. Also it would be a plus if more of the staff understood English, being that it's a Resort setting. Overall we had an expectional stay we really enjoyed the accommodations of all inclusive

We went a group of 5 celebrating 40th birthday of 3 of them. Room A/C didn’t work all 3 nights. Third bed was not made until second night we had to share beds. Had to call more than 3 times to get towels for all of us. Restaurants limited and they not open every day. No Activity in the pool area only at night. No welcome basked was ever provided and they kept asking us if we like it.

I paid for a pool view room but I was placed at the very beginning of it so the view was partial. I asked for a privilege upgrade because it was my birthday but Juan Carlos from the front desk denied it. I was willing to pay for privilege upgrade but they told me it cost an extra $75 daily, even though the Ocean Blue web site says $30 daily. House keeping was mediocre at best, I tipped my house keeper daily with a total of $55 for a weekly service and still failed to provide me with everything I needed. There was a daily breakdown & missing room items. My concierge arranged a birthday cake with a song and told me it was going to be free of charge. Well, at check out I still had to pay $60 for it, after I tipped him $30 for the help. It was mediocre service but the facilities and location were excellent. The beach is a dream. The poolside bbq only lasted for 1 hour when the program stated two or three hours. The night club should stay opened until 3:00 am instead of closing at 1:00 am. All facilities were clean and maintained. The beach is beautiful and food quality fantastic.

I booked the room around at 2 pm. When I arrived at the hotel around 5:30 pm, the room was not ready. The reception tried to sell an upgrade room which they can give immediately, but I refused. After 30 min of wait they gave me the room and it was not the room I booked. I complained about the room, they moved me the room they tried to sell.
They assigned Premier Buttler who responded over an hour later. The room phone was not working and the premier service never worked even at the check out. This hotel does not respect the customer and below level 1 for overall.

This property is very secure, but if you want to leave the resort to visit a friend, to
Go shopping or clubbing it is difficult to get on and off the resort without using the resort’s driving service. They make it very difficult to leave the premises. Daily my husband and I were solicited for going the in-house club to become members. The place is clean and the food was pretty good for buffet options, but for a young couple with an empty nest it’s not the place

Overall it was a good vacation. My biggest complaint was the food. Average at best and not enough variety. Best part is hands down the beach. It is clean and the water is clear and turquoise. Staff is friendly for the most part. Entertainment is lacking if you like that sort of thing. The grounds are very nice and well kept. Would I vacation here again? Maybe

What I liked. The bathroom especially the shower was fantastic, beach is beautiful and clean, drinks at the bar on the beach are better than the lobby bar, beautiful grounds especially during the night when the color lights are on, wildlife on the property was a plus for me (flamingo, peacock, pretty birds with bright red beak and the fish in the ponds) it’s not for everyone but I like to see wildlife on my vacations. Some of the staff are very attentive. I had a good time .
What I didn’t like. You have to get up very early in the morning to make reservations for the steak house and wait on a long line and then the guy that takes your reservations is rude with a smile. He got an attitude when i spoke to him in English and then I answered in Spanish. The food needs to be improved pronto. Don’t eat the fish, they pre make fried eggs and then leave them under light .. no bueno!!!
For the most part I did enjoy my stay. Just needs improvements for me to come back
