The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Dining Experience

During my recent stay, I was incredibly impressed by the variety and quality of food at the Ocean Blue & Sand. My favorite was the Mexican restaurant, where each dish was bursting with flavor. Our server was attentive and ensured our dining experience was nothing short of good. We also enjoyed the main buffet for breakfast, which had a vast selection suitable for everyone. It was a true feast every meal!

Lovely Entertainment

The entertainment team really elevated our experience at the resort! Each day was packed with activities, from pool games to dance-offs in the lobby. There were also nightly shows, like a fantastic Michael Jackson impersonator performance that I still rave about. My nights were filled with laughter and joy, and I felt like part of a wonderful community during my stay.

Relaxing Spa Services

I indulged in a few spa treatments during my visit, and I must say, it was the perfect way to unwind. The spa offered a variety of services, and I particularly enjoyed the massage, which was both relaxing and rejuvenating. The atmosphere was soothing, and it was a much-appreciated escape from the daily resort activities. I left feeling completely refreshed!

Comfortable Room Amenities

I stayed in a spacious and well-maintained room, which contributed significantly to my overall enjoyment of the resort. The amenities included a stocked mini-bar and a comfortable sitting area, which allowed me to relax after a long day of exploring. The housekeeping staff did an excellent job ensuring the room was always clean, and I appreciated the fresh flowers they left for us. It truly felt like a home away from home!

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.
