One of My Favourite Resorts!
 

Ocean Blue & Sands Resort, Punta Cana, Domican Republic




Why is this resort special?

The layout is unique - just off the lobby, a huge courtyard is surrounded by all of the restaurants, the casino, and the main activity areas. The rooms run towards the ocean in two streets with the swimming pools between them, secluding the rooms from the hustle and bustle of the courtyard. Trams run frequently providing easy access between the beach and the courtyard.  

There are LOTS of activities with something for everyone - even a bowling alley and climbing wall. The swimming pools are the centre of the fun – they are large with many activities happening. 

The food has a wide variety to choose from with many restaurants and buffets. It must be mentioned that they have the BEST coffeehouse!! 

The beach is excellent, with pink powder sand, and is very well maintained. However, it can get crowded.  

The rooms are all very large, the bathrooms are modern, and everything is kept sparkly clean.
