We stayed at The Oasis Resort in July 2011 - two women traveling alone intending to explore the Westmoreland area, visit friends and family and top up our tans!!
Upon arrival the hotel staff were not aware of or able to confirm our booking but this was not a problem, we were still welcomed without fuss, shown to our room and invited to get something to eat / drink. We found our room (No. 10) to be clean with two double beds, air-con, television (with cable), fridge and a good size dresser with storage draws. The bathroom was fine; instant hot water. The windows were all 'meshed' to keep the mosquitos out and the balcony was fitted with burglar bars - which made us feel safe given that we were located on the ground floor. There was no telephone in the room but there was free Wi-Fi available which was accessible around the pool / by the bar.
Note: There is a US$3 per night fee for use of the safe.
The breakfasts were basic and all served with tea/coffee and juice as part of our booking. The dinners were basic but satisfactory (microwaved) with a choice of various meat/fish/chicken dishes mostly served with rice-n-peas & salad. There's no need to dress up for dinner - it's not that kind of hotel - simply laid back. The staff were all very polite and the manager Colin White was particularly helpful with tips and advice.
This hotel is VERY quiet and is off the beaten track. It's not located on the beach front but does have a swimming pool. That said, the hotel runs a free shuttle bus to and from the beach twice daily - 10 min journey. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to families with children as there is no lifeguard, no evening entertainment, no activities. It's just a small, quiet hotel suitable as a base or place to simply relax and unwind without interruption or noise. The only entertainment is the t.v.
I'd defiantly recommend this hotel as a quiet, laid back retreat with easy and convenient access to the main town activities, shops and beach. The amenities and rooms are basic with a satisfactory standard of decor / cleanliness. If you're looking for a vibrant place with entertainment, high class mod cons and room service this hotel is NOT for you.
