I absolutely loved my stay here. The owners were great, staff was amazing. It is a beautiful and well kept resort. Nice pool right by the ocean. Amazing all around. Not a lot to do in walking distance but taxis are always one call away. Would def recommend . Also, make sure you try their ice cream at the bar! The rum raisin and coconut is worth the visit in itself :) Very clean/ chill / calm resort.

If you want quiet relaxation, this is the place. A beautiful little resort with a beautiful staff. Everyone we encountered treated us like family, not just guests. The food could not have been more perfect!! It’s a bit secluded. But you can travel like a local on the #11 bus for $3.50 Bajan. There’s a Taxi App also that will get you where you want to go. We had a room with an ocean view. That was spectacular!! The only slip up, in my opinion, is that the coverlet on the beds should be “ocean blue”. That’s the only missed opportunity with the design. And certainly nothing that will interfere with a beautiful stay at the Ocean Blue Resort (and family -:)

This hotel is located in a quiet and secluded area. It is facing the sea, so it is very relaxing to listen to the waves from the room. At the same time, the rooms are comfortable. The restaurant has a somewhat limited menu, but the dishes are very delicious. The staff is very attentive. It has enough parking area.

Great property, very pretty and clean! It is far away from a lot of things so you will need to get a taxi or drive by yourself. The only thing i didn’t like was that they have roosters running around the property and they will wake you up early morning. For some reason they were always outside our room screaming all morning and not letting us sleep. Food options are limited as well, the restaurant isn’t open all day.

My husband and I truly loved OceanBlue. Quiet, tranquil, gorgeous views. We loved waking up every morning hearing the ocean waves. The roosters will wake you up too in the mornings. Everyone on the property was so nice and accommodating. Von who works there knows all things! He was thee best! Gave great recommendations about Barbados. Kadeem the bartender made great drinks and took very good care of us. There is a mini mart 2 minute walk away we went to for some necessities.-Buffy’s Mini Mart. At that store you can catch a ZV/ZR bus for $3.50 US dollars almost anywhere or call a taxi. We liked using Marty’s Taxi- 1 (246) 850-3712 via WhatsApp. (To and from airport or excursions) We would recommend this property to anyone! We felt safe and looked after. We will be coming back!

This second time at this little fantastic hotel. Its beautiful architecture makes you think of Greece or the Middle East. Great location by the ocean but still just 15 minutes from the airport. The staff is great, the rooms are clean and the restaurant serves good food and drinks. I can highly recommend this hotel

The rooms are clean. The walkout patio was private with lovely views. A wonderful location to take in the magesty of the sea. The staff were friendly without being intrusive. Little extras like the care with booking a taxi and the offer to deliver my meal to the room were a nice touch. Very welcoming.

I requested an airport pickup taxi for the next day upon arrival, I was assured that it would be done and security would knock near the time but didn't get a knock when I went to front desk my taxi never showed up and security had to call a taxi for me, luckily he was on time and I made my flight.

An absolutely amazing little hotel just by the ocean and just 15 minutes drive to the airport! The building looks like a mix between Greece and Mexico, very beautiful. Fantastic staff that really makes you feel welcome. Can really recommend this little gem!

I spent one night at Ocean Blue after a flight delay meant a lot minute booking and arriving at 10pm. The owner and staff were superb though and it was a very pleasant end to a fraught and tiring day of flight delays. The roman the whole resort are really a one off and so nice to get away from the formulaic hotel / motel set up. Lovely breakfast too. Can heartily recommend this resort.
