Ocean Blue & Sand Beach Resort - All Inclusive
Buffet food was fair but the restaurants’ food was excellent. Service throughout the hotel was either excellent or not good. Bar tenders were excellent. We ordered room service twice but never got it. The two hot tubs aren’t heated and are the same cold temperature as the pools.
