Ocean Blue & Sand-Punta Cana

[Debs]

I will also say, that I just got back from my SIL's wedding at Dreams Punta Cana, and although that resort was really nice, I liked OB way better. The layout is just so much better, with all the restaraunts in one place, and especially the shuttle buggy were definate plusses for OB.

Hey ladies!!! My fiance and I are getting married in Punta Cana next March and Ocean Blue has made it to our top 3. I was reading the reviews on trip advisor and they were making me a little nervous but everyone on here seems very positive about it! ANY information anyone can share would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!

I have looked at Trip Advisor as well for many resorts I was interested in and came to the following conclusion: people will be more likely to post when they have something to complain about then when the have a great stay. I wouldn't let the Trip Advisor reviews sway your opinions on each resort. I would definitely ask people who have been there before about their experiences. Also, if you have a travel agent, I am sure they will be able to help you as well! Good luck!

Hi all,

This resort is also at the top of my list. Can someone tell me approximately how much their guests paid for 1 week AI. (from Toronto).

 

Thanks so much

Does anyone know if you book the "free" wedding if you can add extra guests for a per person fee?

Hi there,

I just switched from dreams Palm Beach to Ocean Sands because dreams was too expensive and my guests wouldn't pay. Ocean Sands was my second choice and I got a great rate through ITravel 2000's group coordinator. We are paying out of Ottawa:
$1520 double occupancy, junior suite
$230 taxes
Everything else is pretty much the same as above except my guests have to pay in full by October 17, 2010.

The wedding coordinator and my TA have been great getting things switched over.
Looking forward to planning with other Ocean Brides!
