We booked our trip because we got an awesome deal for a 7 day vacation to the Oasis/Cancun. We were very leary after reading all of the negative reviews.
We arrived on a Friday morning and to be honest - we both were a little unhappy at first. Part of the resort was closed off to another convention and we were having a terrible time getting around. We finally took the map that night and "studied" it and decided to figure out where all the restuarants were. Day two was MUCH better.
As far as the cleanliness, there were maids constantly cleaning everything. The room we got was very cool and clean, however - the rooms on the lower floors on Phase 1 & 2 are the older rooms. Our room was very near the main lobby and the elevator and it was loud. We have stayed in nicer rooms, but to be honest, we were rarely in the room. We did request a room on the 5th or 6th floor and it was a nice upgrade. You could see the ocean and pool nicely. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous. The food is wonderful. We highly recommend eating breakfast at the Meditterean restuarant. The beach is a little rocky in areas, but there is a totally swimmable section that is great. We heard while there, the government is going to sand dredge and replace all the lost sand from the hurricane a couple of years ago.
We did tip the maids, bartenders and waiters. Take plenty of $1 bills with you. It is very hard to get change. The service was excellent in all of the restuarants. The Ribeye steak is awesome in the Meditteranean restaurant.
There is nightlife at the Up and Down bar. We highly recommend the Star's show on Friday night and the Mexican show on Tuesday night.
The pool is very clean, unlike some of the other reviews. The only thing I can think of is that it could be rough during Spring Break week. It could be wilder when the teens and younger people are there - but we are in our mid 30's and had a great time.
We loved this place and will return. If you are a very picky person who nitpicks every little thing, you will find something wrong I'm sure. But, we were very impressed and wondered where some of these reviews came from. Any questions, please feel free to contact us.
