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.

I have contacted the hotel directly regarding our issues. This hotel would most likely be great for couples. It's just not the best equipped for small children. The staff are so amazing but we were slightly miss sold by virgin on this being the right fit for a family vacation.

This was our 2nd stay at this resort and it was even better than the first. The service from all members of staff was above and beyond. We have visited other all inclusive resorts across the Caribbean but the staff and dining experience at ORO were what brought us back. We will definitely be back at some point again!

The resort is beautiful and cozy. Plenty of places to sit and socialize. The food is mostly average with a few surprises sprinkled in here and there. My room was a NICE size and the bathroom was huge! We had a swim-out room that is part of the adult only pool that closes at 8pm. Staff is AMAZING.

I came down with a group that the majority of us went to high-school together. The property, the staff, and the food was superb. The amenities were good as well. Watch out for some of the taxi service though. They will price gouge you if you don't know the current currency conversion rate.
