Thoroughly enjoyed the Ocean Blue. The artwork is beautiful, the room was basic, yet comfortable and very clean. The view of the water was relaxing and we were able to hear the sound of the waves crashing from our room. There are several spots where you can relax on the property and just enjoy. We had a nice dinner our first night there. Enjoyed the convenience of being able to walk to local transportation (van) that took us to the main areas we wanted to go for $3 BBD per person and there’s a local store within walking distance. Would absolutely go back!

This hotel is fabulous, as are all the staff. They are welcoming, attentive and nothing is too much trouble. The structure/presentation of the hotel itself is idyllic. The restaurant is lovely with varied food, including vegan and vegetarian options. You are served by friendly staff. The rooms are clean and spacious with daily cleaning and added extras to ensure comfort. The neighbourhood is friendly and you experience a true Barbadian culture full of warmth, colour and vibrancy. In contrast, the hotel provides a welcome peaceful environment to enjoy, where you can watch the stars and listen to the ocean at night. If you want a holiday where all the staff genuinely care whether you have a nice holiday or not, this is the place for you. I cannot fault the attitude of Liesja and her team and wish them well in the future. They deserve full occupancy 365 days of the year. We hope to return one day and hope others choose to experience the joys of OceanBlue. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve just returned from a 5 night break at Oceanblue. It was just perfect I would give anything to be waking up in paradise everyday. The rooms were clean and spacious, the staff were so lovely. The location is so peaceful! You aren’t really near any restaurants/bars apart from the hotels but it’s an easy trip on the 11 van to get to most places. I travelled solo and I felt very welcome and loved the experience, I felt like I was at home. K and Von were lovely and all the restaurants staff were so friendly. I didn’t want to leave but I will be back!

We love this place...second visit in 5 months and I'd go back tomorrow...situated on the southern coastline this little gem of a resort primarily is for those who want a totally relaxing holiday...whilst it doesn't have a beach the sound of the waves, especially at night, smashing against the rocks is so soothing that it amazingly aids sleep, helped by the sea winds that help cool you down even on a seriously hot day...the family owners are delightful helpful and caring and a pleasure to communicate with...as our son owns Norfolk Rum we took a few sample bottles on this visit and boy did Kadeem and Von, the two bartenders, make some amazing barbadian inspired cocktails for us...for those wanting to experience the warm clear waters of the Carribean Sea, then a 3.5 BD (about £1.20) bus trip to Miami beach or Carlisle bay is a must...the local mini bus ride is by far the cheapest way to get around but be warned it can be hairy at times...with only 22 rooms the resort never feels crowded and there are plenty of sun loungers around the pool to cater for those who simply want to sit and soak up the sun...both the bar and restaurant are open to the elements and both benefit from the sea breezes...I would highly recommend Ocean Blue.

The property was always clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. The Breakfast menu can be expanded but it was good. If you see looking for a TV there is NONE. Other than that the stay was good and quiet.

Obviously because of the location you are not able to swim in the sea, but views are beautiful and the hotel has been designed and maintained to the highest standard. Only one bar within walking distance, so factor in car hire or taxis/buses for going to the beach or eating out.

OceanBlue is a lovely hotel. We really enjoyed it. The decor is unusual, simple but tasteful. All white washed curving walls. There are lots of interesting art works dotted around. The rooms are quite spacious with good aircon, decent walk in shower and large veranda. The hotel is not near local attractions and beaches but with a hire car was not a problem. The pool area is small but never gets crowded. There are always available chairs. The view from the pool out to the ocean is outstanding, you get great sunrises to the left and sunsets to the right! The owners, James, Lulu and Liesje, are very friendly and welcoming. Treat you almost like one of the family. The food in the restaurant is decent and not expensive by Barbados standards. There is a general feeling of peacefulness and serenity almost like a retreat. The hotel is very reasonably priced compared to most others in Barbados. I feel like the hotel would not necessarily suit everybody’s tastes though. If you liked to be on a beach, or very near a beach. If you wanted to be within a walk of restaurants and shops. If you wanted the on site restaurant to have lots of meal options. If you didn’t like a cock crowing at dawn and numerous other times! If you wanted a TV in room and regular entertainment, then this hotel may not be for you. For us, it worked out well and we would consider returning.

Honestly the best hotel experience I've ever had. This place is a gem. Highly recommended, a haven of calm a short distance from the hubbub of the busy areas of Barbados. The owners and staff are the most accommodating and friendly I have ever come across. I would not hesitate to visit here again. A little way off the beaten tourist path but this is part of what I loved about the place. It is very easy to get into Oistins or Bridgetown on a ZR bus, if you don't have a car, they come every few mins. Short walking distance to Long Beach or Silver Rock Beach if you fancy surfing or wind surfing.
