Fantastic Culinary Experience

During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at the steakhouse, which absolutely exceeded my expectations! The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the service was exemplary. I particularly enjoyed the Caesar salad, which was uniquely prepared. It truly was one of my favorite dining spots at the resort, and I left happy and satisfied every time.

Lovely Entertainment

The entertainment team made every day feel special. I especially appreciated the fun and engaging atmosphere created by team members like Pokémon and Chocolate. They organized foam parties and beach activities that were energetic and enjoyable for everyone. The nightly shows were an absolute must-see and added so much fun to our vacation experience!

Kid-Friendly Activities Galore

Our kids had an amazing time thanks to the various activities provided for them. They loved the games on the beach and were particularly entertained by Super Juan and the fire show they put together. It was great watching them have so much fun while we relaxed nearby. The kids' amenities made this vacation a nice one for our family.

I had an amazing time at Ocean Blue & Sand! The weather was perfect, and the variety of dining options was impressive, especially the Italian and Mexican restaurants. Although our room was clean and well-stocked, it had a bit of a musty smell due to the humidity. The service was attentive, but some improvements could be made during busy times. Overall, it's a fantastic place for a family getaway with lots of activities.
