“Not terrible but certainly not great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

It's true there's not much to choose from in Homosassa. Hence, we chose this place which was near my parents'. The weekly rate was pretty good, something like $42 -45 a night or something. Maybe that was a senior's rate, not sure. Anyway, staff were very nice, helpful and accommodating, so were housekeeping. Room tired, somewhat moldy-smelling, carpet/bathroom needs work. I was told by front desk staff that the rooms by the pool are difficult to keep from getting mildew-y, so choose one elsewhere. Room decent size, two double-bed. They use some sort of mattress cover which get bunched up under the sheet all the time. Sleep wasn't great. For the price the place isn't terrible, so if you don't mind a place a bit rough around the edges, you can save a buck.. 24-hour Walgreen's across the street, CVS too. Pub-lix and Walmart just down the road. (But Walmart is likely to be closing, as they're opening another one about 10 min. away). Wildlife Park (wonderful) right there. Free breakfast really pretty lacking. Didn't use pool as we were there in December. Occasionally noisy at night. Housekeeping does not clean your room every day when you pay by the week. The motel seems to be the residence for a number of people, perhaps people who have lost their homes. That part was sad. There were a few dogs around, so I guess they accept pets. Computer/internet for guests in lobby. $1/page to print.

“Better, much better!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

person found this review helpful

We have stayed at this hotel and the Riverside Resort over the years. I prefer the location of this hotel to the latter. Options are very limited in the Homosassa area. And, I have seen an improvement at this property, you can tell work has been done including painting inside and out since we last stayed there. The property has been cleaned up and it was really nice to walk over the bridge and watch the animals at the Homosassa River Park first thing in the morning. One improvement, new beds and some newer ammenities. New fridge and microwave. Housekeeping is getting better though the bedspreads were soiled. Bathroom and vanity was clean but the carpet was dirty. Could use an upgrade on the pillows though, very hard and flat. My kids resorted to using their pillowpets and my husband and I took their pillows. There was an old 19" TV that would not have been so bad but, the remote sucked. The buttons stuck and sticky electrical tape held the whole thing together. We called to have the remote changed but only got more electrical tape and it still didn't work.

The only other comment, it was nice to have a comp. breakfast but it could have done MUCH better. Not going to go into details about it. Hope the property continues to improve, Homosassa could use a GOOD hotel.

Room Tip: Second Floor by the pool is nice.

I live in Florida 30 years. If you are thinking I-75, think Rt. 19 Homosassa Springs instead, then you will see real Florida, a great dollar value for a good room & site also next door to amazing
nature, wildlife & beautiful waters & trails. Steve

“Last Resort”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

I would only stay at the Bella Oasis again if there were no other hotels in a 25 mile radius of Homosassa Springs. The hotel is in despair, upon check in we noticed that the price they charge is more expensive than advertised online. When they forgot to give us our AAA rate we were told we would have to handle the refund in the morning. I was amazed at how unhelpful the staff at the hotel was, and how unprofessional they came across. The whole hotel needs paint on the outside, the rooms really could use an update. From the mattresses that felt like they were from the 70's, to the lack of pillows, the dirty chairs with the table set, and bath towels that couldn't be any thinner or smaller. To make matters worse, there was a bathing suit bottom liner attached to our bathroom door, we were place in a room right next to the pool and bar, where a gentlemen, with little to no skill in the art of music, played until well after 10:30. There swimming pool has no lights, and the deck around the pool has one little light that give off minimal lighting, so it makes it useless to try to use the pool at night. In the morning we headed down to the "continental breakfast" which consisted of two bulk cereal options, some apples, and some packaged danishes, like the ones you see in the gas stations. They have coffee, but only artificial creamer. And the room they provide it in is a dimly lit bar type area, not very appealing for a breakfast location. Overall it was a very disappointing experience and we will not visit the Bella Oasis again.

Room Tip: If you choose to stay here, get a room away from the pool, this will increase your chances of gettin...
