 | |  |  | Oasis Cancun: GREAT PLACE IF YOU'RE A TEENAGER! Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating:    Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
The week of June 14th , 2004my mom (55), myself (30) and my sister (18) went to Cancun and stayed at the Oasis Cancun, this was as a present for my sisters high school graduation from myself.
Upon arriving at the hotel the place was already crawling with teenagers.
The room really wasn't that bad, we booked a "super saver" room so I wasn't expecting the world. We had a balcony facing the lagoon, the room seemed clean upon first site. Upon sleeping in the beds they were gross, the sheets were clean but the odor from the mattresses was disgusting, it smelled musty and like dirty socks.
There are 3 parts to this hotel, Phase I, The Grand Oasis and Phase II.
There are several different restaurants to the Oasis Cancun, the ones included in Phase II are ala carte Sarape Mexican Restaurant and the Italian Restaurant Trattorino's (I think that's the name of it). We never made reservations for the sit down restaurants, our longest wait was about 3-5 minutes to get in.
There are two buffet restaurants, Ibiza & (can't remember the other ones name). Ibiza has a better selection of food than the lobby area buffet restaurant. But, in both buffets the food is bland tasting.
In summary, if you aren't totally on the same partying level as 16-19 year olds (screaming, beligerantly and rudely drunk, puking in the lobby (yes, one morning we woke up and the lobby just reaked, I mean stunk to high heaven of vomit), crawling up and down the balconies on the outside of the hotel, listening or screaming off your balcony to people "Show me your ----!" then Phase II might not be the part of the hotel you want to stay in. I never got a full nights sleep at this hotel.
I'm 30, I like to party, but I guess at a different, little bit more mature level, does that make sense?
Bottom line, if you like to party with teenagers or are a teen yourself Phase II of the Oasis Cancun is THE PLACE FOR YOU TO BE!! But if you are 30-55 you might want to stay in the Grand Oasis or a different hotel all together.
So, what is good about this resort you say? THE POOL!, The BEACH! and the BEACH BAR!!
The beach is one of the larger hotel beaches on the hotel zone, water at this end is quite wavy, heavy waves. The pool area (if you go to the area in front of the Grand Oasis or down towards Phase I) is really nice and I found it pleasantly quiet!
There is a beach bar at the beach at Phase II, it is only open until 5 p.m. sadly, I'm not sure why they close it at 5, it would be great if it were open until at least 8 p.m. The bar tenders at the beach bar were nice enough and they also grill some food there, tacos, etc and you can sit and watch the ocean and overlook the beach area if you'd like. They do take tips but don't expect it. The lines can be quite long for the beach bar at times, but have patience. I had no problem ordering 2 or 3 drinks at a time at the beach bar. We laid on the beach and each of us would take turns getting drinks and bringing them down to the beach.

I loved staying at the Oasis. The rooms were nothing special, but the hotel grounds are beautiful. There are lush tropical plants and flowers everywhere and the pool is amazing. The hotel staff is very friendly and accomadating. The restaraunts are all really good for breakfast you get a choice of two different buffet style restaurants, one is more of an american type breakfast with fruit, roll, eggs, meat, etc. The other one had more of a mexican flair to it. It had a lot of hot mexican dished as well as omlets, fruit, bread, and a smoothie bar. For lunch I usually got a couple cheese burgers from the chicken and ribs stand . They also have a taco stand and a mexican restaurant open for lunch. For dinner they have a Italian restaurant, a steak house and 2 buffets open. I personally liked the steakhouse. At the bars my favorite drink was the tequilla slammers because they got the job done and they went down pretty smooth..
The best thing about the Oasis is the pool area. There is always music playing and there are always activites going on. There was water basketball, water volleyball, and they even had some drinking games. I always had a blast by the pool! Leave a Comment Theme: HotelComparison: more expensive than average
