The hype
Families love the bowling and teen club, but beach lovers are often heartbroken by the shoreline.
Ocean Blue And Sand Beach Resort All Inclusive
$150-250/ nuit
Réservez si You want a high-energy family resort with unique perks like a bowling alley and don't mind sacrificing beach quality for pool action.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- The only resort in Punta Cana with an on-site bowling alley
- Mike's Coffee is a legitimate cafe, not just a hotel dispenser
- Compact layout makes it easy to walk everywhere without a shuttle
En bref : A solid mid-range funhouse that compensates for its eroded beach with great pools and a retro American diner.
Évalué par @summerdelightphotography: I honestly needed this escape so bad. From the moment I stepped off the plane, the energy at Ocean Blue & Sand was exactly what I craved. The grounds are massive and beautiful, and the night shows are a total blast. Definitely coming back with the whole crew.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check
The 'Privilege' upgrade isn't just a perk—it's almost mandatory to get decent restaurant reservations and drinkable liquor.
- You have teens who get bored easily (bowling, climbing wall, teen club)
- You prefer a pool party vibe over a quiet book on the sand
- You want a walkable resort where you don't need a golf cart to get coffee

Avant de réserver
Bon à savoir

Quoi emporter
- Insulated bubba mug (bars use small plastic cups)
- Reef-safe sunscreen (expensive at the resort shop)
- Plenty of $1 and $5 bills for tips (staff work hard and appreciate it)

FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is the beach really that bad?
Yes, erosion has created a steep drop-off and reduced the sand area significantly compared to neighboring resorts.
Is the Privilege upgrade worth it?
100%. You get the 'Blue Moon' restaurant, premium liquor, a private beach section (crucial here), and usable WiFi.
Is the bowling alley free?
It depends on your booking package. Some 'Privilege' bookings include a game, otherwise, expect a fee of around $10-15 per person.
How is the food?
Buffet is standard average. Mike's Coffee is excellent. Route 66 (American) is often rated poorly. Sensai (Japanese) is fun for the show.
Is there a casino?
Yes, the Ocean Tower Casino is on-site, but it's small and smoky.
Can I walk to other places?
Not really. You are in a resort complex. You'll need a taxi to get to local off-site restaurants.
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
Mike's Coffee has the best AC in the resort—great for a mid-day cool down.
- ✨
The 'climbing wall' is often overlooked but free and fun for kids.
- ✨
You can sometimes negotiate a 'Privilege' upgrade at check-in for cheaper than booking online ($50-70/night).
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'lazy river' isn't really a lazy river; it's just a winding pool section with no current.
💡The bowling alley strikes are notoriously difficult—don't bet money on your game.
💡There is a resident flamingo population that wanders near the ponds.
💡The 'Honeymoon Suite' is two stories, which sounds cool but can be annoying with wet feet.
💡Room service menu is extremely limited unless you are Privilege.
