The property was tucked away from everything but we had a rental car so that made it okay. It’s very quiet out there so if you’re looking for slow paced and peaceful this is the spot. The ocean view rooms are amazing. The food was just alright but the staff were very friendly! Shout out to Von who was just the nicest young man.

The proximity to the airport was the 1st bonus. 2. the grounds are stunning so many nolks for guests to have a place of solitude. Front desk Hermoine was lovely friendly and helpful. Another staff plus was Von our server for breakfast one day snd also the bar. He wss so engaging and friendly. Lovely young man. 4. If you are looking for a beach property thos is not it because it's the Atlantic side. So pool is good always looked clean. In not a ppl person. 5. The breakfast was fine no hits no misses and the dinner was good Coconut Shrimp tasty but i saw no coconut. K was my server dinner and was friendly. The seasoned rice was 10/10 and the island salad was good too. I would stay here again because it's quiet the grounds are beautiful and staff i met were friendly. Minor drawbacks were no kleenex in the rooms no irons also and only 1 garbage can in the rooms but i suppose it's for green efficiency.

I love the design of the hotel. I love being able to see the ocean from my room window. The staff is very friendly. I love that it was secluded peaceful and quiet. It’s perfect for a getaway for some peace and quiet. If you want to hang out or go to the beach taxis are easily accessible

This hotel is a little gem, even though slightly remote. It’s obviously well managed and maintained, which made staying here even more of a treat. An extra bonus was the fact that it is well priced and better than other hotels that we have stayed at that were significantly more expensive.

Stay away! First the staff is rude. RUDE. The front desk lady, hermione was rude, flat out judgemental and critiqued everything I said, and just made me feel unwelcomed and like crap from start. We don’t need to experience that. They were far from full. There were many vacancies but she tried to put me in a crap room. I asked for a better room because on the internet all sites show them to mace many vacancies. She kept lying saying we are full bla bla. I mean lady you are not full! Reluctantly she gave me another room. Second I asked if I can check out later at 1 or 2 pm the next day. Big no. $50 charge. Your hotel is half empty. Truly. They don’t care what experience they give or how they threat you. No complimentary water in room either. Truly. I had to ask for some. AND THE HOTEL IS IN A CRAPPY AREA. Literally nothing to do near by or go near by. You’d feel scared to walk around. So maybe be kind to people. Maybe show some appreciation. And maybe hermione can keep her judgment and critique to herself as if she’s traveled the world and knows good experiences from awful ones. Some of us have 100 plus countries traveled extensively around the world. We know rude when we see it. AVOID.

The hotel is nicely tucked away and right on the sea, though the area directly accessible from the hotel is not idéal for bathing. Relaxing environment and slow paced. The staff were friendly staff and accommodations were pristine There are original paintings, artwork and sculptures created by local artists around the hotel and in the room. There is also a small gallery to showcase some of the work. The food was good and the mixologist (Trey) knows his drinks. Would definitely visit again when looking for a recharge and would recommend to anyone looking for the same. I rental car would be good for the stay but the local public transit is a few minutes walk away.

I stayed at Ocean Blue for 7 nights. It is a genuinely nice resort. My issue is the location, everything I booked, got cancelled because Ocean Blue is out of the way. Although, there is bus transportation you can take to go into town about 5 minute walk from the resort, I would have rather gotten picked up by the excursion transportation. There are no beaches nearby. My biggest complaint would be the food. Every time I ordered, does not matter what it is, it took an hour so I hope you have patience. Would I recommend this resort? Probably not. If you are looking for peace and quiet to get work done, then absolutely. I was able to get a lot done but I am a person who expects way more.

Fantastic stay with stellar service from check-in to check-out, all of the staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. We would definitely stay here again. A great place to stay. The food was always delicious, especially the bajan breakfast choices and the folks who work there are very kind. Great location and get away place to stay for some alone time. Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities all excellent. The last thing I heard every night before I fell off to sleep were waves rushing ashore, It was soothing.

Our stay at Ocean Blue Resort was outstanding! Highly recommend this property, it is located in a traditional Bajan locality and it's wonderfully maintained. The staff is absolutely hospitable and welcoming. They went above and beyond to help us see and visit the best of Barbados. The food options were plentiful, very tasty and well organized. The pool is well kept. The ocean view from our room was stunning. Safe to say, we'll definitely be returning!

OceanBlue Resort is a true hidden gem. The property is beautifully maintained by some of the loveliest people you will meet on the island. I spent 5 glorious days here resetting and relaxing. I rented a car for 2 of the days so that I could see more of the island (highly recommend doing this) and spent the other days resting in my peaceful room and by the stunning pool. Be prepared that this resort is not in the hub of tourism- but that is the beauty of it. Special thanks to Hermione- I’ll be back!
