    The fresh and contemporary, O2 Beach Club & Spa by Ocean Hotels boasts one of the coolest beach spots on the island. Elegant, exclusive, and set on 1,000ft of powder white beach, this resort offers unparalleled comfort and personalised service throughout your stay. When you’re not relaxing on your sun lounger, perfectly pitched by one of three glittering pools, you’ll be enjoying the premium All-Inclusive offerings – and you’re certainly spoilt for choice, with several dining options, including a rooftop patio offering cocktails, tapas, and amazing views of Oistins Bay. You’ll love the adults-only Luxury Oceanfront Junior Suites (some of which are swim-up!) but the hotel is also perfectly suited to families with teenagers, or groups of friends; upgrade to one of the 1 or 2 bedroom suites for more space, and enjoy ‘learn to’ experiences, such as a lesson in the steel drums, or how to make a perfect Bajan rum punch.

    Hotel is beautiful, the grounds are really picturesque and the rooms excellent. The restaurants were all great, menus vary across the week giving great choice. Oro is exceptional. The service provided at this hotel is outstanding and all members of staff contribute to that with their friendliness. Beach is beautiful but unfortunately rocky to get into the sea. Bars are very good but if you are a Barcardi drinker it is not available you have to pay for it which is unusual when this resort has all other premium brands. We definitely visit again!!! Read less

    O2 doesn't have a lot to talk about, it was just there. The hotel is located in an area without much activity, to include no water sports. The beach is small and somewhat rocky and the water is pretty rough. While the room was decent and included a sitting area, a small kitchen and separate bedroom, the bedroom should have been in the front facing the ocean vice along the hallway with windows looking out to the hallway - that was odd. Air conditioning and wifi were very good. The room size was good, as was the bathroom and the balcony. If the bedroom hadn't faced the hallway, I would give the rooms a better rating as they were actually pretty nice. Food at the specialty restaurant Oro was fantastic. Service, cocktails and the food were top notch. If you go, I recommend you make dinner reservations for each night. Bluefin was terrible. The service was bad as the waiters preferred to socialize with each other vice serving the guests. The food from the menu was mediocre and the buffet food was inedible. Delivery of food was slow; I only went there one evening for the buffet that I ended up having two bites and proclaiming I could not eat it. And I went there one day for lunch that sealed the deal on me not going back. Everyone, including the other couple that went with us, said service was extremely slow and it usually took an hour to have your food delivered to your table. We walked off property but there wasn't really anything to see or do. There were a couple of tourist trap trinket shops and some local restaurants/bars. Other than that, not much to say about the area. The hotel did not have any included water sports so other than laying out in the sun, not much to do. The pool was pretty small and they never staffed the swim up bar at the adult pool, You had to get out of the pool to get a drink, which honestly isn't a big deal, but if you have the swim up bar, staff it so the patrons can use it. Drinks were mediocre, other than at Oro, as they all had an odd aftertaste. They do not serve top shelf liquors, I'd give their bar service a 2.5 out of 5. While it was nice to relax for a few days, I'm glad we didn't have a longer stay. This hate, and Barbados writ large is a once and done for us. Read less

    Great value and service! Beautiful place! Staff was friendly and they had a lot to offer. The beach was a little rough, but that didn't deter us. There were local beaches that gave us the calm waters we needed, and the pools made up for the rough water.

    The property is beautiful! The staff is amazing! The drinks are the best I’ve ever had at an all inclusive! My room was beautiful! Well worth the price! I can’t wait to visit again. I went solo and felt very safe. Everyone was so pleasant and respectful.

    The property is beautiful and the rooms are very clean and nice. The food was very good which was important to us. We went off the resort twice just to see what was out there and the rest of the time we ate at all of the restaurants. Oro was the best and is presented as expensive dining. It did not disappoint and the service was the best at this restaurant as well. Service overall was fine however it took a long time to get food that was ordered. Bartenders were hit or miss but mostly the drinks were amazing and the presentation for them was often very nice as well. The main issue we had with this resort was the beach. We did not listen to others when they said you need water shoes to go into the water. Even with water shoes it's actually a dangerous area to swim in due to very large rocks that go all the way out from the sand. I did not feel safe to swim there without a boogie board or some type of device to hold you up. I understand not promoting this but I do think it's fair to warn customers when they check in. This is a family resort and how they allowed for adults only in a pool was helpful if you are not wanting to be around children. Putting a couple on the 4th floor where the teen room is was a mistake on the resorts part but we dealt with it. Our room was right near the teen room so there was quite a bit of noise there. We would definitely go back to this resort but due to the beach issue we will not. Read less
