We recently stayed at Ocean Blue & Sand for an all-inclusive vacation. Overall, we had a great time, but there are a few areas that need improvement.
Cons:
• Beach chair reservations: This was our biggest frustration. Despite signs stating that chairs should not be reserved, nearly all the umbrellas were taken by 6:15 AM, and most of them sat unused until the afternoon. The resort needs to enforce its policy and add more umbrellas to accommodate guests.
• Room odor: Our room had a musty smell when we first arrived, but after a few days with the AC running, the smell disappeared.
• Beach maintenance: We understand that seaweed is normal for the season, but the resort could do a better job cleaning the beach. During our morning walks, we noticed that neighboring resorts had their beaches cleaned daily, while ours was not as well maintained.
•The pushy staff that wanted you to join timeshare, tried once at the check in , tried again in front of buffet. You will need to say NO Thank you to everyone that approaches you . They are selling timeshares, Beware that if you do go, you'll be there for hours.
Pros:
• The food was excellent! We dined at the steakhouse and the Mexican restaurant, and both had great quality food with fast and attentive service.
• The resort itself is beautiful, and the beach is stunning.
•Shuttle around the property was such a great service
Overall, we had a pleasant experience.
