well.....in a nutshell.....here goes! we shared facilities with next door oasis hotel the caribbean. this side though was worse here at the palm beach. wall to wall high schoolers or college grads celebrating. pool bar if you call it that...maybe 5 seats. people so drunk they were puking in pool..it was floating! disgusting. blasting 'young' music....rap....some raggae....some mexican. some young girls topless on floats in pool and on beach. necking all in pool! come on! believe it or not....best thing about the pool scene here was the food....good burgers...dogs and fish and shrimps! until they closed it for remodeling! there went the fish...shrimps for rest of stay! never moved it over to the burger stand. out of luck. the beach...OMG...putrid smell of sewage every day. or was it that black sea grass that covered the ocean water and the beaches? rocky too! the ocean water where it wasn't black was a dirty green. and it is only top of leg deep all the way out to the ropes where the boats come in! yeah...boats! they are right across from you! the dinner pirate ships go out next door! 3 of them!
restaurants....lines. some not open. one end of pool.....almost 6 ft deep....if you can't swim...you have the kiddie pool and the pukey bar pool left. not that there are 3 pools....all 3 connect into 1 pool. so you know that puke is all over. never again! i am amazed at the good reviews this place is getting. and....nothing wrong with the mexican people...they indeed are hard working nice folks but because this hotel is at the bottom of the hotel chain.....all the locals congregate here for the weekend or get a day pass.
if you like a pleasant 3/4 star hotel....this isn't for you. save your money or spend a little more and upgrade to something better. we've learned our lesson! no more oasis chains for us.

Stayed there from June 14-18 09 I have stayed there before and it was excellent this time, I took my 10 year old and we both had a blast, We met many friends, Hello to Rickey and Bernice from Chicago, Tony and Leslie from Jackson Miss, and Jose from Houston.
Guys we all had a great time the food and distilled spirits were excellent.
Also Aquaworld staff of Julio and Monica were great at the hotel .
thanks for the scuba lesson for my ten year old he really enjoyed it

My wife and I travel to Cancun by ourselves every spring and again on July 4th week every year with our 3 kids. We usually stay at another resort when its just us two going, but we usually stay here each year with the kids.

The food is great for an all inclusive hotel and is very much on par with the other hotels in the area. The staff is always generally helpful and with a little tipping along the way, the extra attention they give is well worth it.

The draw for us is really the kids club which all of our kids really love. They always miss the staff after we leave and talk about how great they were for months after. Also for the price, you cant beat it. We pay the same amount of money for our entire family to stay here as my wife and I spend with just the two of us going to other hotels in Cancun.

We are heading back to the Oasis Palm Beach in 2 weeks and everyone is excited about it as we always are. While there are always things that I wish were a little better here, overall it is a fantastic bargain for Cancun lovers. Looking forward to our trip.

The receptionists are TERRIBLY rude and completely unaccomodating. Don't expect them to actually have the room you requested 'on time' or 'at all'. The beds were comfortable and soft, but the bathroom was a little icky and the floor was sticky.
The pool is almost like a hot tub because it is so hot and it was full of sand at the bottom.
The food was ok, acceptable. The asian restaurant requires reservations, but they will probably let you in anyway, the prices are ok and it was my favorite. The other places were good ok too.
The swimming beach is tiny and doesn't let you go out very far, just up to your chest, but the water is very calm and luke warm around this hotel.
There are a lot of local fisherman and people that hang around this hotel, so you may not want to walk around outside too much.
There is a car rental place across the bridge across from the sky needle. There is also some tourist places across the bridge if you want some souvenirs. There is a convenient store down from the car rental place where you can buy some snacks and drinks.
Cancun is incredibly hot, that is coming from a midwesterner who lives in the deep south.
WE took a day trip to Tulum by a rented car. The drive was very easy and smooth (gas stations attendents will fill up your car so be prepared to tip or just act stupid. Tulum has lots of parking and the beach there is BEAUTIFUL, wear a bathing suit because you will be so hot. Seriously, IT IS HOTTTTT AS HELL. The beach here is not so calm so might be dangerous if you have kids.

Otherwise, enjoy. But look for other accomodations.
