Ocean Blue & Sand resort is a 3-star ADULT ONLY hotel, but not a luxury, FAMILY-ORIENTED property they and ******* position themselves to be. This resort worse than the other places we stayed at before when in DR. We also stayed at another H10 property last year and it was considerably better than this one. What was good about Ocean Blue & Sand: the grounds (well kept, easily navigated, having a flamingo walking the grounds was a nice touch), the food (this resort does dessert particularly well, but the need to up their game when it comes to salads), the location (quick ride from the airport). What was not so good: the service (dining hall was seemingly understaffed as it took a while to get water/drinks/coffee; insistence of staff on high-fiving/feast bumping guests, kids in particular – why?; expectation of tipping, our concierge service completely useless – we texted asking for a stepstool for our daughter and never heard anything back or got it in our room), the pool (drink glasses floating right in the water, tiles missing from the bottom), the entertainment (very adult/couples-focused, very little for the kids in the evenings, although one night a bouncy castle and slide were brought it which was great to see and very enjoyable to the kids). What was bad: room condition and cleaning. Our room in building 5 was dated, with broken furniture, and not exceptionally clean when we arrived. In spite of daily cleaning, it still felt dirty. There were roaches in the bathroom.
