Résumé des avis

Guests highlight the high quality and variety of the à la carte restaurants, often without reservations, as well as the excellent buffets. The staff is frequently praised for their friendliness, smiles, and excellent service. Furthermore, the impeccable cleanliness of the entire hotel, including the spacious rooms and large, well-maintained swimming pools, is regularly emphasized. However, some guests occasionally mention the beach being small or ordinary, with the presence of breakwaters.

A top-quality hotel offering a variety of activities.
Hôtel de choix offrant plusieurs activités

The hotel was very clean and well-maintained. The food at the buffet was very good and varied; we enjoyed it even more than the à la carte restaurants. We loved Mick's Coffee Shop, among other things. There's an ice cream shop and a soft-serve ice cream machine (you don't see that often), several activities (bowling, bingo, archery and an automatic baseball batting machine, a recreational area and a sports area, a good-sized 24-hour gym with quality equipment), and birds in their natural habitat (flamingos, several other birds, and marine species). It's very well maintained, and our junior room was lovely. It's a large resort, but there's always a golf cart service for those who don't like walking. There are beautiful, large beach-style pools, a children's area (kindergarten), and lots of greenery. The beach is wide and the sand is beautiful, but currently the only drawback to everything being perfect is the darn sargassum seaweed... all along the coast... a real scourge, they can't seem to get rid of it even though they're trying. What's a shame is that the wholesalers certainly have the authority to know about it (the sargassum) and inform travelers, but they simply say that there might be some. For our part, if we had known it was this bad, we would have gone somewhere else. The location is superb when there isn't this problem... as it's an increasingly widespread problem during certain months of the year, I think they should be more transparent about it. Considering this problem, it's the first time in our lives we've spent 95% of our time at the pool, except for going for long walks. But it's not easy with this awful sargassum seaweed that spreads so wide, leaving us less room to walk without stepping in it, and it stinks. Luckily, we've already been to this hotel in Punta Cana at a different time of year (between December and March), and this problem didn't exist then, so the sea was superb, and the beach was just as beautiful. I highly recommend this place, but only between December and March, when we were told there shouldn't be any more sargassum...

Hôtel très propre et bien entretenu. La nourriture est très bonne et très variée au buffet, nous l'avons apprécié encore plus qu'aux restaurants à la carte. On a adoré le Mick's coffee shop entre autres, il y a une crèmerie et machine à crème glacée molle (on voit ça rarement), plusieurs activités (bowling, bingo, tir à l'arc et lanceur de balles de baseball automatique, place récréative et une style sportive, gym 24 h d'une belle grosseur et avec de l'équipement de qualité) oiseaux sur place à l'état naturel (flamang rose, plusieurs autres oiseaux et espèces marin). C'est très bien entretenu et notre chambre junior était très belle. Gros site, mais tjrs un service de voiturettes pour ceux qui n'aiment pas marcher. Belles grosses piscines style plage, coin pour enfant (kinder garden) et beaucoup de végétation. La plage est large et le sable très beau, mais présentement le seul Hic pour tout soit parfait... la mausus de sargasse... tout le long de la côte... un fléaut, ils en viennent pas à bout même s'ils essaient. Ce qui est dommage c'est que les grossistes auraient assurément le pouvoir de le savoir (pour la sargasse) et d'en informer les voyageurs, mais ils disent simplement qu'il se peut qu'il en ait. De notre côté si nous avions su que c'était de cet ampleur, nous aurions été ailleurs. L'emplacement est superbe lorsqu'il n'y a pas ce problème... comme c'est un fléaut de plus en plus répendu entre un certain nombre de mois dans l'année, je crois qu'ils devraient être plus transparents de ce côté.
Considérent ce problème, 1re fois à vie que nous avons passé 95 % du temps à la piscine, sauf pour aller prendre de grandes marches, mais c'est pas évident avec cette saletée de sargasse qui s'étend en largeur et nous donne moins d'espace pour marcher sans mettre les pieds dedans et ça pue. Heureusement que nous avons déjà été à Punta Cana à cet hôtel à un autre temps de l'année (entre décembre et mars) et ce problème n'existait pas, donc la mer était superbe et la plage autant. Je recommande fortement cet endroit mais entre décembre et mars alors qu'il ne serait plus sensé avoir de sargasse à ce qu'on nous a dit...

Great and enjoyable
Génial et plaisant

Overall, it was great. A small number of staff were less friendly and welcoming. The hotel was clean, the food was good, and the cocktails were nice. The entertainment was great and varied, although the theater shows were a little less interesting. Final rating: 8.5/10

L'emsemble était super. Une minorite d'employés moins souriant et accueillants. Hôtel propre, nourriture bonne, des bons cocktails. Animation super et variées, les espectacles au théâtre en peu moins intéressants. Note finale 8.5/10

Wonderful vacation!
Magnifiques vacances!

Overall, everything went well. There was sargassum seaweed on the beach, but that's beyond the hotel's control. The air conditioning in our room wasn't working properly, but the staff sent a technician to check it and were attentive to our needs. Despite this, the unit still wasn't functioning correctly. They offered to move us to another room, but in the end, we decided to stay rather than move again.

En général tout s'est bien passé. Sargasse dans la plage, mais cela est hors du contrôle de l'Hôtel. L'air climatisé de notre chambre ne fonctionnait pas bien, mais le personnel a envoyé un technicien pour le vérifier et a été à l'écoute de nos besoins. Malgré cela, l'appareil n'a pas répondu adéquatement, ils nous ont proposé de changer de chambre, mais finalement on a decidé d'y rester pour ne pas bouger de nouveau.

A wonderful week at Ocean Blue & Sand.
Très belle semaine au Ocean Blue & Sand.

The staff is friendly and the buffet food is very good. The presence of sargassum seaweed on the beach makes it less beautiful, but this isn't the hotel's fault; it's the season and the hotel collects it regularly. I recommend this hotel.

Le personnel est gentil et la nourriture au buffet est très bonne. La présence de sargasses sur la plage la rend moins belle mais ce n’est pas la faute de l hôtel, c est la saison et l hôtel les ramasse régulièrement. Je recommande cet hotel
