I cannot say enough nice things about this resort. The number one thing that stood out was the amazing staff. The entertainment staff (Pokemon, Mickey Mouse, Cherry, and Chocolate) were the most energetic, funny, welcoming, talented dancers that I've ever seen at any resort. They really care about you and want you to enjoy your vacation, and they put you in a great mood. In the main lobby, there are hilarious bartenders, especially Sexy Black, he sings and makes the best drinks. There's also Marino who works in the Piano Lounge Bar, he is awesome and very helpful. Last but not least, Isael, who does houskeeping, is amazing, he went out of his way to help my friend and I find phone charger outlets that could charge our phones properly. We really appreciated everyone here and it was sad to leave because they made our trip so special and made us feel like family. As for the pools.. Really beautiful! 2 huge ones, very clean. Comfortable lounge chairs. My only complaint really is that there's not much sand by the ocean, but I guess the water levels are up this year. Also the waves were too strong anyway so I didn't go in the ocean. As for my room.. super clean, comfortable bed, nice towels. As for the food... There are 8 restaurants, a coffee shop, a late sports bar, an all day coffee shop, and a gelato icecream stand. You don't need to make a reservation for any of the restaurants except the Japanese one. Most resorts, you have to wake up super early to make a reservation or you won't get it. Also the Japanese restaurant has live entertainment and the chefs are hilarious. I tried all the restaurants except the french one and the food was sensational, very tasty, and the servers were so kind and professional. Large portions as well.

My 3rd visit to Ocean Blue & Sand.it was a 4 generation trip with my 85 year old mom, my daughter & 4 year old granddaughter. This time we upgraded to Privilege. It was definitely worth it! Only problem was when we checked in they put us on the 3rd floor when I requested ground floor. My 85 year old mother cannot walk up 3 flights of stairs! What were they thinking? We had to stay there 1 night & then got moved the next day to a ground floor room which was great! It was just a hassle to move. Our butler, Jose, was the best!! He was so helpful& so sweet. He made our stay so awesome! I highly recommend Jose! I will request him again! He went above & beyond his duties. He even had me text when we got home so he knew we arrived safely. He made sure everything in our room was acceptable. The entertainment team was great especially Cherry! Pokemon & Mickey Mouse were fun to watch,too. The food was good especially Route 66 which also had phenomenal service. They changed the a la cartel restaurants menus since last year. I liked mexican restaurant better last year. Others were still good & buffet was very good. Overall, we all had a great time & look forward to returning next year!
