Ocean Blue & Sand

The Resort & Setting

Ocean Blue & Sand sits on Avenida Estados Unidos in the Bavaro sector of Salvaleón de Higüey, close to Playa Bavaro's beachfront. Google's own listing describes it as a chic all-inclusive resort with eight restaurants, four bars, two outdoor pools, a casino and a spa — and with an average rating of 4.6 from over 18,800 reviews, it's clearly a well-established, heavily visited property rather than a boutique or niche development. It operates independently but carries RCI affiliation, which matters if you're an owner who wants flexibility beyond your home week.

Playa Bavaro & Things to Do Nearby

Playa Bavaro is part of the wider Punta Cana resort belt, known for wide white-sand beaches and calm, turquoise water that's good for swimming and water sports. The resort itself is about half a kilometre from the beach, with Bavaro Beach's clubs and water-activity operators around 5 km away. Further afield, Dolphin Island Park (roughly 15 km) offers dolphin and sea lion encounters in lagoon settings, Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park (about 20 km) has freshwater lagoons and forest trails worth a half-day, and Punta Cana Village (around 8 km) is the go-to spot for shopping, local crafts and restaurants away from the all-inclusive bubble.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Ocean Blue & Sand and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform — there's no commission taken on the sale, just a one-time listing fee to get your ad live.

Because Ocean Blue & Sand is an independent resort, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded developer process. Before agreeing on a price with any buyer, ask the resort for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee in writing, since these aren't published figures and vary by unit and contract. A buyer should also confirm in advance whether RCI affiliation and exchange credits carry over with the transfer, as this is typically handled separately from the deed or contract transfer itself and depends on RCI's own membership terms.

What Renters & Buyers Look For

Renters searching for a week at Ocean Blue & Sand are generally drawn by the all-inclusive format — multiple restaurants and bars, pools, spa and casino on site — combined with the short walk to Playa Bavaro. Buyers researching the resort for exchange purposes will want to know that it's RCI-affiliated, since that opens the door to trading the week for stays at other RCI resorts worldwide, subject to RCI's own deposit and exchange rules.

Practical Notes for Visiting

Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) is the nearest airport, about 25 km from the resort, and it's worth pre-booking a taxi or shuttle rather than arranging transport on arrival. The Dominican Peso (DOP) is the local currency, though US dollars are accepted widely in the tourist areas around Bavaro. The dry season from December through April brings the most comfortable weather with lower humidity, while June through November is hurricane season, so travel insurance is worth considering if you're booking a stay or rental for those months.
