My husband and daughter (10) loved our 7-night stay at Oasis. The heated pool is amazing (warm, clean and very large), there is a BBQ next to the pool which was handy (along with a fridge), our room was spacious with a wonderful corner balcony (and balcony out the back), it was clean, and everything was in working order. Oasis is close to the esplanade and the Tavern over the road had lovely food. We hope to be back.

We stayed for 3 nights in early Dec 24. We really enjoyed ourselves. The pool was lovely, we loved how you can swim around the pool bar island. The food from the Pool bar was excellent, we particularly liked the Fruit salad and the Karage Chicken. We had a standard room and it was pretty good, very roomy and well appointed.
