Our showroom is located in Dover (at the end of St.Lawrence Gap) and is open Mon-Fri 9am – 5pm and on Sat 9am – 1pm.

We look forward to showing you Ocean Two.

The painting on the exterior has begun as you will see in the picture below; tiling has been completed on floors 2, 4 and 6.; the bathrooms on these floors have also been tiled and are awaiting the installation of vanities and toilets; the tiling on floors 3, 5 & 7 is underway and should be completed in a few weeks. Exterior doors and windows are being installed at present and all will be in by the end of the month. The next step will be the installation of the kitchens in approximately 3 weeks time.  We will commence with floors 2, 4 & 6 and then install on 1, 3, 5 & 7.  Soon after the kitchens are installed, the interior doors and cupboards which have been manufactured to ensure that they are of the highest quality and craftsmanship will be installed.  Fixtures and fittings will follow and will be the last items to be installed in all units.  Once the contractor has completed the main works, he will begin handing over the property to us, floor by floor, so that we can begin cleaning and outfitting each residence with the appropriate furniture.

There are exciting times ahead and the progress will now appear much faster as the finishing touches are installed and the residence begins to take shape in front of your eyes!

Our showroom is located in Dover (at the end of St.Lawrence Gap) and is open Mon-Fri 9am – 5pm and on Sat 9am – 1pm.

We look forward to showing you Ocean Two.

We are very excited to get the new year rolling as 2010 will be THE year for Ocean Two!  Construction is progressing well and interior finishes such as tiling, slicking and installation is now taking place and the actual units are resembling the showroom more everyday!

Below are some pictures which show the different stages of completion throughout the building.

We are also very pleased to have on board a new General manager for the hotel division of Ocean Two, Mrs.Patricia Affonso-Dass.  Patricia comes to us with a wealth of experience in the hotel and hospitality industry and previously launched and managed another condo-hotel on the island.  We are sure that once you meet her, you will be confident in her team’s ability to deliver friendly and efficient service and sound management of the hotel.

Patricia and the Marketing Manager, Melissa Chalbaud, have been actively contracting with tour operators and travel agents to ensure a successful launch of Ocean Two next year.  They have received a tremendous response at the various trade and consumer shows that they have attended and are confident in Ocean Two’s appeal to its target market.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Ocean Two showroom located next door to the site of Ocean Two in Dover, Church.  Telephone: 1 (246)428-9441 or 1 (246) 233-4803. E-mail: info@oceantwobarbados.com

The showroom is open Mon-Fri 9am – 5pm.

Happy Holidays and see you in 2010!!!

We are very pleased at the construction progress to date with our completion date still expected to be the end of 2009.  At present, finishing work has begun on some of the floors as well as the installation of air conditioners, electrical and plumbing works being completed in the majority of units. 

The contractor will begin handing over floors to the developer in the next 4 – 5 months so that the necessary fittings and furniture can be installed in the most efficient manner possible.  

Despite the current economic climate, sales are progressing smoothly and we are confident that this trend will continue as the project moves closer to completion.  The Ocean Two hotel will open in the first quarter of 2010, regardless of the number of units sold as contracting with tour operators has already begun for this project which only emphasizes the developer’s assurance that the building will be completed in the timeframe promised. 

If you have any questions regarding Ocean Two, we would be happy to hear from you.  Please do not hesitate to contact us at 1 (246)233-4803 or melissac@oceanliving.bb Please continue to visit our blog for regular updates on Ocean Two’s progress.  The next few months will be very exciting as we approach completion!

The showroom is open Monday – Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturdays 9am – 1pm.

The showroom includes a scale model of the entire development, style boards which allow purchasers to see the 2 furniture package options as well as artistic sketches of the public areas on the property.  However, the highlight of the showroom is our model residence.  We have built and fully outfitted a one bedroom residence to give you the opportunity to see, feel and touch what an Ocean Two residence will offer.

Below is a picture of the Living Room and partial Balcony.

 Ocean Two kitchens are modern and fully equipped with 5 stainless steel appliances (fridge, stovetop, microwave, dishawasher and washer/dryer, Italian cupboards andgranite countertops.  The layout of our kitchens allows for unobstructed views of the ocean which needless to say, should be the centrepiece of any home in Barbados.

At the end of a long day of sea and sun, tuck in under luxurious, 400 thread count bedding!  Turn on the air-conditioning or ceiling fan, flat screen TV or play music on your iPOD docking station and forget that you ever have to get up!

Our spacious bathrooms have double sink, granite vanities and storage space complimented by a large shower with a rainfall shower.

We have great news for our potential purchasers!

After lengthy discussions with our industry partners and advisors, we have decided to amend the ownership structure of Ocean Two to be more flexible and accommodate a wider spectrum of buyers.  As such, we have developed 2 purchase options:

With immediate effect, Ocean Two will be available for purchase on a freehold basis with no obligation to enter the Rental Program.

Alternatively, for purchasers interested in Ocean Two from an investment perspective, we will still offer the Rental Program and run the rooms within the program as a 4 star hotel.  The only stipulation with regards to the Rental Program as well as for Interval International Exchange Program is that the residence must be furnished with the furniture packages provided by the developer.

Interval International is a premier, condo exchange provider that has teamed up with Ocean Two to provide our clients with an additional benefit of owning at Ocean Two.

In addition, through negotiations with many of our suppliers, we have been able to achieve lower cost of goods and materials and have passed these savings on to the buyer.  As a result, Ocean Two has been able to lower the price on a variety of units to assist UK, European and Canadian purchasers whose currencies have devalued relative to the US dollar.

Due to the stage of construction and the opening of Ocean Two scheduled for March 2009, we have developed a new payment schedule.  Reservations Deposits are now US$5,000 for a 1 bedroom residence and US$10,000 for a 2 bedroom residence.  All deposits are refundable.

 We are currently on the 7th floor of Ocean Two and the roof will be poured next week.  We are still ahead of construction schedule and can promise all potential purchasers that we will complete the building and open in the first quarter of 2010.

If you would like to visit our showroom or get more information on the project, please do not hesitate to contact us via our website: www.oceantwobarbados.com or call our showroom at 1 (246) 428-9441 or e-mail Keena at keenar@oceanliving.bb.  Alternatively, you can contact our Sales Manager, Melissa at melissac@oceanliving.bb or by telephone, 1 (246)233-4803.

We are currently on our 4th floor and the 5th floor is slated to begin in 2 weeks.  The beach continues to grow daily as a result of nature and tides.  We have extended its growth even further due to sand that was brought in specially for the project with many more loads expected to truly create that magical beachfront setting that we promise.

As Ocean Two is a condo-hotel, it is critical for you, our prospective purchasers, to be aware that we are currently promoting Ocean Two to tour operators, travel agents and the travel industry as a whole to ensure that when we open for hotel business in early 2010, your hotel is providing you with rental returns.  In conjunction with other marketing and advertising, senior management will be attending 3 major travel shows in the upcoming 6 months to promote Ocean Two hotel.

Below you will be able to see the progress of Ocean Two beginning with the view of the entire property from the central groyne.

We look forward to seeing you at the Ocean Two showroom soon which is conveniently located at the end of St.Lawrence Gap opposite the Dover Mini-Mart.

We initially started with a groyne to the west of the project 3 weeks ago and the sand has naturally filled in and extended the depth of the beach dramatically. You can see the difference in the before and after pictures below!

Before…

After 3 weeks…

The second groyne is currently being built and can be seen in the images below. As the beach begins to form, it will ultimately join with the beach in the above picture to create an expansive area of white sand.

 The 3rd and final groyne will be built to the east of the Ocean Two site so that the tides will continue to naturally build the beach and create an immaculate bay that is ideal for swimming and sunbathing.

The beach that has begun to build in front of Ocean Two

Construction continues to move ahead steadily.  The second floor has been cast and the walls for the second floor units have begun. 

Below is a panorama of the entire project from the West Groyne to the East Point with the Ocean Two building rising in the centre.

 Below is a panorama of the entire project from the rear of the building showing both the first and second floors.

 The oceanfront restaurant is located on the easternmost point of the property with a direct oceanview. Once completed, indoor or outdoor dining will be available to those wishing to take the night off and be served! The fare will be diverse offering a tropical, Bajan twist on traditional dishes.  After a day at the beach, this oceanfront experience is sure to satisfy any appetite!  After dinner, meander along the pool deck and enjoy a cocktail while the moon illuminates the ocean just beyond your doorstep.

 The construction of residence 108 and 109 have commenced with the groundwork and exterior walls being built.  The patios provide adequate space for al fresco dining or the perfect place to lounge in private.  As you can see below, these units have unobstructed views of the ocean while the low planters on the perimeter will provide privacy.

 The swim-up pool bar provides a retreat from the sun without hampering the spectacular ocean living experience. The picture below shows the swim-up pool bar complete with stools and subsequently, the view from the swim-up pool bar.

The swim-up pool bar will be the ideal place to sit and have a light snack while remaining cool!  

 In the following picture, you can see the groundwork being layed for the plumbing system for the building.

In the next few weeks we will have progress pictures available on the beach re-construction project that will completely extend and enhance the current beach.  The transformation will be unbelieveable! The beach expansion will make it the perfect place for a laying out in the sun or taking afternoon strolls. The groynes that will be constructed to protect the beach will also provide a shelter from the break water creating a much calmer swimming environment.

Ocean Two sales have received overwhelming response and we have recently released Phase Two.
