Oasis Tulum

Mexico is the location of choice for this vacation! Oasis Tulum is located in Riviera Maya, 1.5hrs away from the Cancun airport or 2hrs if you get stuck in traffic. Ugh. Upon arrival, we learned that there are actually 2 resorts there, Oasis Tulum and Oasis Tulum Grand. We were at the Oasis Tulum. The Grand side is a little shinier and there are a few more perks, but we were quite happy with the Oasis Tulum. In fact, almost every resort we dropped people off at was a tiered resort.
There are other restaurants on the Grand side, but if you’re not staying over there, you can pay to try them out.
The beach was fantastic. There was ample shade and sun. There were 2 hot tubs near the beach bar that kids enjoyed. I recommend water shoes. It’s not overly rocky, but there’s enough coral there to cut your foot if you’re not careful.
The room was great! Big bed, big bathroom and a nice balcony. Not that you’ll spend much time there anyway!
The nightly shows were impressive. These weren’t your usual daily entertainment people do all the shows. These were pros; they were brought in for these shows and hosted by the daily entertainment crew. The disco is in the same place and it’s pretty good. Lots of space, American and Spanish music pounding through a killer sound system.
The buffet and Dos Lunas were our favourite places to eat.
While were at this resort, there was a plane load of Italian vacationers. Oasis Tulum really catered to them. We couldn’t eat at the Italian place one night, because it was Italians only that night. There was specific Italian entertainment people on the beach everyday. We felt excluded. We were never invited for games or volleyball. They had an Italian show at the disco every night. There was only one entertainment person from the hotel that would interact with the English speaking people. Ricardo was great. He would get us involved and even have lunch with guests!
All in all a decent vacation, not our favourite, but there was nothing wrong with the resort, rooms or food. We’d like it if they were a bit more social with us English speaking people, but that’s it! A great place for yummy food and beautiful beaches.
