Tropical all-inclusive Punta Cana resort lures with leisure activities
Tropically colored buildings and swaying palms paint the scene of paradise at Ocean Blue Golf and Beach Resort, which is steps from the White Sands Golf Course. The kid-friendly, all-suite property attracts leisure travelers with 374 rooms decorated with island style and British Colonial-inspired furniture. A heavy roster of leisure activities -- like scuba lessons and bowling -- complements the many bars and restaurants on site.
Highlights
  • Multiple leisure activities, from bow and arrow to bowling
  • Seven a la carte restaurants, two buffets and 10 bars
  • All-suite tropical hotel with air conditioning and balconies
  • Walking distance to White Sands Golf Course
Rooms
Ocean Blue Golf and Beach Resort  rooms evoke breezy tropical décor driven by bright colors, palm prints and British Colonial furniture. All 374 rooms are air conditioned suites equipped with welcome conveniences like marble bathrooms with double sinks, a mini-refrigerator filled with sodas and balcony for taking in views of the lush grounds. Guests rest on one king or two double beds topped with patterned bedding. An in-room Jacuzzi furthers the luxury. Walls sport an island motif with vibrant colors like aqua or salmon and coastal-themed artwork.
Features
Recreation
A dedicated entertainment staff keeps the itinerary busy all day long at Ocean Blue Golf and Beach Resort. Guests might take a scuba diving lesson in the pool, play beach volleyball or water polo or learn how to maneuver a bow and arrow. Theme parties keep the mood festive, while off-site excursions like catamaran expeditions and snorkeling tours cater to thrill seekers. The hotel also invites patrons to go wall climbing or bowling (at a maximum of one hour of play per room).
Dining
Diners indulge in diverse fare at the seven a la carte restaurants and two buffets at Ocean Blue Golf and Beach Resort. La Casa de mi abuela and La Casa Caribbean Grill plate up local dishes, while La Tortuga is a staple for the all-day buffet. Some eateries come with an extra dose of ambiance, from Arenal Beach Restaurant and Snack Bar to reservations required-Bucareno, a seafood boite right on the beach. Ten bars -- including a swim-up bar -- fuel the tropical scene.

Winter getaway

Second time in DR, different resort, better value, terrific food, great activities-Spanish lesson, yoga, aqua aerobics. Husbands went dune buggy riding-had a great time. Grounds and pool were clean, well kept and beautiful. Privilege update well worth the money. Plan to return next Feb-see you there! Weather perfect!

Great beach/pool...average hotel

Great beach and pool. Hotel room was average and tended towards tired feel. Staff was very helpful. Distance to restuarants could be very long from building 6. Food was average to fair. If you don't get in line 30 minutes before the speciality restuarants open you will have a long wait to get in.

Over booking

I could not believe that they had no room available when we arrive. We had a reservation made though [...]..and shipped us off to another resort and spent 2 days there and wasted another day traveling back to Ocean Blue and waiting around for a room that would not be ready till..1500..I am very hesitant to book a trip again by [...]..You are never sure of a room waiting for.you..

amazing time great for all ages

very clean, rooms are large with great views, great amenities. food and drink were great for an all inclusive. excursions were excellent. especially zip lining its a must. both safe and fun. a little rough getting up the mountain (1 hour ride) but worth every minute of it. beach was beautiful, lots to do for all ages. we celebrated my parents 40th wedding anniversary on the beach with a vow renewal ceremony. we had ages from 8-70 and everyone enjoyed themselves. i would recommend this resort and i would also go back.

vacation

The resort is a beautiful property although compared to other trips I had taken it seemed a little inconvinent to get food and beverage. The biggest draw back had to be the staff at the resort constantly hasseling you to upgrade to privledge. But I am a person going on vacation to have a good time regardless.

Very Nice Family Vacation

The staff at Ocean Blue was very friendly and went out of their way to make us happy. The food was very good and there was always something different to try. In addition to the endless buffet, we ate at the Dominican Restaurant & Bucanero. Bucanero is on the beach and the lobster was HUGE. The Dominican restaurant was very good and my wine glass was never empty. There are bars located in just about any direction and the mini bar in the room was restocked each day. We wanted to try the Italian Restaurant, but it was closed on Wednesday and were leaving the next day.Our room was kept clean and had a balcony facing the pool in Privilege Villa 10. Privilege is a nice touch that includes comfortable pillow top beds, a picturesque beach section with a wonderful woman named Belkis who would bring us drinks and help with my high school Spanish. Privilege is not necessary to have a nice time at Ocean Blue, but I enjoyed the little extras like Super EZ check in & check out, the Privilege Lounge & Internet service. BTW, the Privilege Concierge [...] was always willing to help with ANYTHING and [...] welcomed us at the resort with iced towels and got us checked in before the stated 3PM. We only went to the pool a few times. There are 2 and they were very clean and hot, but we chose the beach for less noise and cooler waters. The pool area always had music and activities going on. The goal of this vacation was relaxation and the beach was more peaceful. Just a matter of choice.Mike's Coffee is a must. It's a Caribbean Starbucks with an extremely friendly staff and awesome desserts. I am glad that we chose Ocean Blue. We did not experience any of the problems that some other people posted. I was waiting for something to go wrong, but it didn't happen. Sometimes there was a slight language barrier, but it was easily overcome with a smile, my poor attempts at Spanish or (kind) hand gestures. Go for it & Enjoy!

Shopping tip: Short walk from hotel

Buy your souveniers from the vendors off to the left of the Privilege Beach area. Make sure you haggle. The vendors that are around the resort on certain days are a ripoff. They started at $25 for the same thing that the beach vendors sold for $8.
