O2 Beach Club & Spa by Ocean Hotels

Barbados, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

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 a Luxury Concierge room for more space in an exquisite suite, and enjoy ‘learn to’ experiences, such as a lesson in the steel drums, or how to make a perfect Bajan rum punch.

Arrived for 9 nights with my husband to celebrate my 50th birthday. We had a very good holiday and could be 5 stars with a few simple tweaks. Pros Our luxury pool view suite in the adults block was spacious with lovely views, very clean. Pools clean and good temperature. Great pool and beach service. Oro restaurant amazing ! Bluefin for lunch great albeit occasionally took an hour but if want quicker could go buffet or grab pizza. Elements a la carte nights good. Great singers including Wesu in Oro Drinks plentiful and great quality, top brands. Location is excellent, turn outside and bars & local food places galore. Turtle rescue 2 evenings, fantastic experience. Top positive is the employees, everyone is so friendly and helpful, a credit to the hotel. A group of 30 arrived during our stay which did change the ambiance but the servers coped well with the added pressure . Constructive Feedback Our aircon unit leaked from day 1, we reported twice to reception who said make sure we close balcony door which we had only used twice so wasn’t hardly ever opened in the first place. Nothing was ever done. We had to lay a towel each day to prevent slipping but we still occasionally would get dripped on when passing under it. Not great for a 5 star. Room was missed being cleaned twice despite being out the room from 9.30am to 4.30pm, did offer to come by after but we were getting showered etc, had to request clean towels couple times, one day this took 3 hours and numerous chasing. Buffet food was mostly spicy, personally I struggle with spice so couple nights the salad was my only option be good to have couple plain choices. Thought I’d get room service instead and was happy to pay $20 surcharge but it ends at 9.30pm which didn’t realise, be good if this was extended to 11pm. Did look in fridges on site as suggested but only a yoghurt remaining so one evening I didn’t eat. Additional Kindly accommodated late check out albeit at $200 cost, be nice if there was an area with aircon people could wait for pick up as going back to UK need to wear warmer clothes. Aircon only in individual rooms and Oro. All employees were lovely but special mention to the general manager who always said hello etc went we saw him, Pierre (Leo the Lion) on check in, John who welcomes everyone and high fived me daily, our dancing queen CarolAnne, wonderful servers Devashni, Sharmer and Joel, last but not least our fantastic and kind bartenders Jakobi the rising star and Dwayne our Rock.
