Great time in Cancun

Resort is getting older, but they are keeping up on all maintenance. Staff were awesome, but there were a few minor language problems. Not all staff were as fully trained as required, but they still did there best to be helpful. Food was good. Some restaurants would run out of more popular menu items. I will definitely stay there again on my next vacation to Cancun.

GREAT RESORT

THE SERVICE, THE GROUNDS ,THE FOOD ,WAS TOP OF THE HILL,THE ONLY THING THAT WAS DISSAPPOINTING WHEN THE SPRING BREAK GROUP GOT SO DRUNK THEY WERE OUT OF CONTROL. THERE WAS A LOT OF STAFF FOR CLEANING ON FOOD SEARVIICE AND THE GROUNGS WERE LOVLEY. I WOULD GO BACK BUT NOT AT SPRING BREAK TIME.

Worth it

Nice hotel, clean, great food, nice staff unless you call the front desk late. Always a rough time to get the supposedly included in-room bottled water, beers and sodas. Only clubs available after 1030pm and they all close at 1am which was a disappointment. A true party resort nonetheless, we'd probably go back.

Decent for Spring Break

The overall trip was awesome as a there was a group of 9. We all had an awesome time but still some flaws. First off, they do nothing in order to help you. We got to our room and the AC didn't work, nor did the fridge. They pretty much told us we were lying and that there was nothing they can do. Thank God we were pinned the entire time because the food was pretty greasy. Everything is a trap. Every chance they get they will charge you dumb amounts of money. For example one day I fell against a [... read more] cheap little fountain and they wanted 1000USD. My friend broke a plate and paid 100$. Overall the people don't care about you and you will pay extra. Would not recommend any Caucasian people to travel to Mexico. Scary place.

Mixed reviews

the grounds, beach, pools and public areas are really nice. the entertainment is great staff overall are very good the negatives the food is only okay there is not enough restaurants to service this large hotel, we waited sometimes over and hour and a half to get in for dinner this is a tiered hotel be aware, check out what comes with your tier otherwise you are charged for a safe in your room, $6.00 a day and internet $40.00 for 5 days and excluded from some of the restaurants and bars  [... read more] the rooms are very tired, basic and in real need of update there is not enough activities, the #1 activity is power drinking this hotel is advertised as party central, geared to students on reading and spring break

Fun but not great

The food was not great. The only restaurant we enjoyed was Dos Lunas. We had to wait every night as they do not take reservations before. The pool bar was always busy, and smelt like pee, and was always hard to get a drink. The resort was gorgeous, the staff were okay. No consistency between places, one day something was open the next day it was not. I did enjoy my trip, but found I did not get my moneys worth. The beach was beautiful, but the waves were so big that it made it hard to go in the [... read more] water. Overall I would say this is a resort for kids who want to drink and don't care about food. It was a one time thing for sure.

Hugely Disappointing

Very dated, very basic bare bones, hated the food, hated that basic services were few and far between, staff were decent, rooms were clean, but the plumbing left a lot to be desired, 2 elevators that hold a max of 6 people that might or might not work to move a huge amount of people from their rooms to the lobby is absolutely absurd. Fans are definitely required to circulate air in the hallways of the buildings. The check in/out time was great, I heard from others that we were extremely fortunat [... read more]e in that dept. The tiered system with the wrist bands is pretty extreme, when you can’t go into a coffee shop for a cup of coffee, because your wrist band won’t allow you to, well, that’s just insane. Also the limitations on the restaurants is just not cool. Anywhere that was considered half decent to eat was off limits. I could continue, but it’s not favourable, so I’ll stop. Best place we found to eat was at the taco kiosk at the food court.

RESORT IS DIRTY

THE RESORT WAS NOT A 4.5 STAR, 3.5 MORE LIKE IT. The staff were amazing tho. Very nice people!! I would recommend resort to young people looking to party. Not a family vacation. The food was great. Lots of places to eat. Pool was grat very clean. The beach was beautiful. I felt safe on the resort and on the beach.

Great resort

The hotel itself was fabulous. Our ocean view room in villa 3 was fantastic. Hot water was the only issue we had which was sometimes hard to get. Food was amazing we ate at the steakhouse for dinner every night. We really like the food court and had the tacos and happy chicken often for lunch. Drinks were good and was never an issue getting a beach lounge chair. Ocean was wavy but nice and blue and clear with white sand beaches.

Would go back in a heart beat!

Loved this resort! Clean, amazing staff and lots to do! There was nothing I would have changed about this trip. There's so many restaurants to choose from and 2 buffets at each end of the resort! The entertainment staff by the beach made our trip so specia!

'The Entertainment Resort'

Very large, spread out hotel. A lot of walking. Not many public washrooms and bars are also very spread out...not everyone wants to hop in the pool to get a drink all t he time. I would suggest upgrading to the 'black band' as many nice restaurants not accessible with the blue band. Neither are premium drinks which was a dissappointment. The rooms are clean but the hotel infrastructure (our room was close to the beach) is not and many items need updating like bath tubs, fawcetts, etc. The l [... read more]obby is beautiful. Food isn't terrible but it's not a 5-star menu. Our teens loved it...we felt old (in our late 40's).

Great food, great staff and a fun resort

The Oasis is a great entertainment resort. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet and Joys trattoria very much. The menu at Joys includes steak and the best tasting chicken parm, the spaghetti was delicious. The snack bar area had tasty chicken, burgers, hot dogs, an ice cream machine and a taco stand. We did not visit the chinese restaurant as we heard it wasn't so great. One thing they sure have good recipes in Joys and the buffet, I hope they never change the recipes. The snack bar advertised tacos [... read more] but only had soft shell, hard corn shells would be nice. The meat, vegetables and deserts are amazing, breakfast was always excellent! The mexican restaurant could use a bit more mexican dishes like fijitas, and the dinner for two was skimpy, three prawns for two and a bunch of pork rinds, barley enough for one. The red circus was just plain weird. The costumes were cool but it made no sense, it was a long and drawn out show. A mexican or mayan themed show would be much better. The grounds and rooms are clean and very pretty. There is so much to do just in the resort. The entertainment was very entertaining, except the red circus. We are older people and enjoyed the beach club with the young aldults and the Coyote Loco club. At times the halls get very noisy with the bar hoppers getting in at 6am and it echos throughout. Maybe some weather stripping around the doors would help curb the noise. The reception on the television was lame with a constant hum, but who is there to watch tv? The beach is fantastic, soft clean sand with a huge beach area with lots of beach chairs, in fact there are many seating areas to choose all over the hotel area. The ocean waves and colours are beautiful. Some hotels we have been at in Cancun we could never get good beach or poolside seating, the Oasis had plenty. there was no garbage or sea debris on the beach or coming ashore. The staff was always happy, friendly and quick to serve, seldom did we wait long for anything. The line for the buffet was less than 5 minutes. The mexican restaurant was 10 minutes. Check in was a long wait with a rookie leaving us in limbo for about a half hour. Drinks were very tasty and innovative. We had issues with the towels but once we complained (twice) it was promptly taken care of. There's lots of single young people (30ish) but never out of control. Sure the hotel is doing upgrades but the construction was not loud or interfering. As far as construction we highly recommend some railings. The large beach stage has a step within itself. The whole stage is about 10 feet from the ground and there are no railings. The stairs leading to the beach have a rise in each step that is too large. The rise is too high for the injured or the disabled, and there are no railings. Grandpa is a carpenter and has recommendations. Access to the beach is limited if you are disabled or injured. A ramp with a gradual slope and railings would help everyone safe access to the beach. If you put two ramps at opposite ends of the beach access, making an "O" would look very nice, one ramp over the garden on the south? The open area between coffee n us, Coyote Loco, the buffet and Joys got extremely slippery when it rained and a lot of people fell and got injured. Most of the walkways are covered but that area is not. The little ones had a kids club, the little kids all seemed very happy. Everyone seemed very happy. We had a fantastic time at the Oasis and we would definitely go to this hotel again. I am sure the Oasis would love to have us back. Grandpa and Grandma they called us.The Oasis is great place, we made plenty of friends, we highly recommend this hotel.

Nice Resort

My daughter and myself really enjoyed our stay the rooms could be updated but we were not in room much only to sleep maybe more comfortable pillows would be better also include free wifi and safe lock with the all inclusive package that would be alot better but the food was great but could be more variety between lunch & supper as it was same at buffet almost but overall nice resort lots of music and nice pool beautiful beach just be aware there is not much shaded areas if you need to get out of [... read more] sun if you burn easily or cake on the sunscreen haha if you have kids on your trip not worth upgrading to the black wristbands as they are mostly for going to more restaurants and bars which kids are not allowed in the upgraded ones anyhow so if you upgrade services only not worth the extra expense the rooms were average could of been worse so we are still happy thanks and the cleaning people and people who stock the mini fridge were very friendly as well as the front desk check in guy he was sooo friendly and very helpful so we had a great trip thank you😃

Poor customer service

Horrible customer service. Check in took over an hour and a half and then they denied us our room. Tons of lines for food and drinks. Great atmosphere, but that’s due to the people there not the hotel.

Really bad service

I went there to party. And i had a blast. But the hotel. Worst service ever. They promise stuff and they dont do. My minibar in my room was never refilled. Had to call everyday. The hotel is leaking water in the rooms and around the hotel. They charged me late checkout when it was supposed to be included. They threathened to call the police if i dont pay it off. Would never go back there

Wouldn't go again

The bad: Check-in took wayyyy too long, and the front desk staff were largely unhelpful. No 24 hour bars, last ones close at 1am. The "health bar" was awful, they just mixed concentrates in gross jugs- no fresh fruit. No free wifi, and you have to pay for a lock for the safe. Had a leak in the ceiling in our room, but they did fix it fairly quickly. The good: The restaurants were great, as well as the coffee shops (included). Great beach. The wifi coverage was pretty good. Overall impressi [... read more]on: 3.5 star at best

Okay vacation

This resort is directly centered around tips. We had stayed at Grand Oasis, and I can say that the service we received was just below par when the employees felt they deserved to be tipped more. Being that we've spent all of this money to enjoy an ALL INCLUSIVE resort, I would imagine service would be one of the things included. There were always lines, everywhere you wanted to eat, at every restaurant. At lunch/breakfast and dinner, 15 minute waits minimum. When we checked in, they had advised  [... read more]us it wasn't such a busy time, so I guess they cut their staff. The nightlife in the hotel ended at 1am, which my group felt was too early, especially for a resort that was rated top for that. I stayed here 4 years ago and it is a much worse place 4 years later. I remember being amazed by the food, always greeted warmly by staff, etc. Too bad this place has changed for the worse.

Noise Rooms, Party all the time - SpringBreak fraternity type of hotel

- Rooms: My room was not clean when I arrived. The bathroom floor was dirty and unclean. The room is pretty noise with drunk travelers screaming in the corridor all the time. The bed is awfully hard to sleep on. Cheap and uncomfortable pillows. One guest open the door of my room with their card and I was disturbed in the middle of the night. I couldn't feel safe in the hotel, specially since I was a woman traveling alone. - Food: All restaurants had a line and a waiting time of at least 20 min [... read more]utes. Drinks were cheap options and the food was not good quality. I've requested room service because I didn't want to go out and they forgot the guacamole that I've order. Service overall was ok, since you're seeing the staff work very hard given the conditions. - The resort is very big and has lot's of attractions, however I felt pretty uncomfortable having a pole dance and sort of strip dancer in the nightclub. - Type of hotel that you feel in a college fraternity. Frat boys and young models all over the place. Guests weren't very friendly overall. I thought that I would experience a bit more of Mexico, but it seems that I book a package to Miami.

Grand Oasis Cancun

Pros: Very friendly staff throughout the resort, for every restaurant we visited, food was excellent and had a good variety to choose from. The grounds, pools and beach were always kept very clean. Had good entertainment at night. Cons: Bathroom needs major overhaul, very disappointed with bath towels and washcloths as they left a lot to be desired as far as being clean. Hotel is not handicap friendly.
