The grounds and landscaping at Oakwood are beautifully maintained with lush flowers and a tropical setting. The poolside area and barbeque area are also very well maintained. From what I heard, Oakside is updating many of their rooms. I guess my husband and I didn't get one of those. Although our room was clean, it was very dated. The carpets were old and worn and the sofa and loveseat just didn't look like something you'd want to snuggle up into. The sink/vanity area is outside the bathroom (the bathroom is very small). Our flourescent light above the vanity gave us a flickering light show and my husband had to continuously jiggle the toilet so that it would stop running and flush on its own. All of the towels in our room were new - and never washed. As we were washing them throughout our 10-day stay, we'd get little white fuzzies all over us -- annoying but after about 10 more washings they should be fine! The bed was the worse. The mattress was worn and concaved in the middle. Housekeeping comes in once a week - but that's fine because there's a vacuum and washer/dryers available. The staff is very friendly.
