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.

Our second visit to O2 and it was even better than the first! We love to “fly and flop” and that’s exactly what we did. We were given exactly the room we requested and were blessed with stunning views of the ocean from sunrise to sunset. All the staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. Special mention to Nicola and Joshua who ensured our bubbles never ran dry whilst we lay on the beach! As our BA flight was due to depart at 5pm we requested to keep our room until 1pm and were rather disappointed to be charged for the extra hour - especially considering that the hotel was half empty and we were told that no-one was checking into our room that day. After a wonderful 7 night stay this left a slightly bitter taste. Read less

The O 2 beach resort and spa was absolutely amazing from arrival to departure. Beco (the ambassador) went above and beyond to make our experience in Barbados most memorable. While Jacobi was keeping our cups filled with good vibes and good spirits. Thanks to the entire staff. We will definitely see you guys soon. God bless

I cannot praise this hotel enough. We had a fantastic 12 night stay as a family of four in two luxury junior suite rooms pool facing (still had good view of the sea). The rooms are beautiful and enormous walk I. Showers with his and he's vanity units. Mini bar stocked with soft drinks, beer and rum. The dressing gowns and White company toiletries are a lovely touch We had three meals in Oro restaurant pre booked through the concierge and all the meals were beautiful. We couldn't find fault with any of the dining options we chose for lunch or dinner each night. We dined at Elements most nights as we liked the themes but also had two meals at Blue fin. Lunch was usually a buffet choice at Elements as it was quicker and we wanted to be back out on the beach but we also had 2-3 lunches in blue fin which , although slower was delicious. And good to have shade for a while The beach is beautiful and although the sea was a little wavy it was still ok to swim. The bar staff would come along and ask you if you wanted drinks and bring them to you on the beach as well as cold towels and frozen grapes which was amazing. Special mention to Nicola who was up and down the beach every day bringing drinks and so happy and helpful. The sun beds are cushioned and plenty of umbrellas. The pools are lovely, and the pool bar is ideally situated next to the beach and the pool. The bar staff were great and made an effort to get to know what we all liked. Dwayne , Ronaldo and Hollando were fantastic I had a pedicure in the Aqua spa which os beautiful and the staff are lovely Read less

For an all inclusive, the food was top notch. I like that you don't have to pay extra for the fancy restaurant. It's included. We enjoyed the steak and lobster. Also, they use top shelf alcohol. The pools were nice and it was easy access to the beach (just steps away). We highly recommend this property. Read less
