Worst Resort of My Entire Life
Traveler Review By: Wanda Goodman from Shreveport, LA
Date of Visit: June 2006

Grand Oasis Riviera Maya is AWFUL!!!!!! It is NOT as advertised. Rooms with an ocean view are OLD and smell FUNKY, new rooms overlook a pool - might as well stay at the Days Inn!! The food is mediocre AT BEST - when it is available. For example - a SUSHI bar that is out of rice - in MEXICO, out of RICE, no less!! Maitre d's at totally empty restaurants tell you that you can't be seated without a reservation but won't take your reservation. There are NOT 7 restaurants nor 8 bars. They have 5 restaurants, if you count the snack bar. Only the cafeteria and snackbar are available without advance reservations. The air conditioning is ineffective and often broken in the common areas. Our water was cut off several times for hours at a time. Security was intimidating and belligerent and generally scary. We will go back to Akumal, certainly. We always do. We love the riviera maya - but we will NEVER stay with ANY Oasis hotel after this horrid experience. Yous should check the veracity of this hotel's claims. They are not as advertised and it makes me wonder about all the hotels on your site.

Re: Worst Resort of My Entire Life - by: kelly obrien
I second this review.We syayed at the same resort July 10-15. We arrived and the front desk did not have our reservation,even though we booked it back in March. An hour later they informed us that they finally found us a room that obviously was not ready for guests.Our mini fridge that was supposed to be stocked was empty and broken,there were no towels,and it was 90 degrees in our room. We had been flying all day so I decided to take a shower, but to my surprise the water was ice cold and did not heat up. We called for an iron and ironing board so we could iron our clothes for dinner and 3 weeks later we're still waiting for these. We decided to go down and get something to eat but ALL ofthe restaurants were closed and we could not eat without reservations. So we decided to go to the buffet,and it also was cerido so the sign said.Our brochure said it opened for dinner at 6;00 but it did not open until 6:45. I could go on and on about our 5 day vacation from hell and I will but right now my hands are tired. I will resume with day 2 tomorrow.

I stayed at this resort just last week and I am sorry to hear that you had such a horrible experience because my stay was wonderful! Marcos and carlos from costumer service were wonderful, food was good, the rest of the staff were very friendly and our room was excellent.

Re: Worst Resort of My Entire Life - by: Jeff Brown
You cannot be closer to the truth. I just returned from this resort and will never go back. Service is horrible unless you are one of the dozens from Italy. The Italians have their own wing on the resort and have ocean view. The Italians are the only ones to get the 11:00 sandwich buffet, and they are so rude knowing all along that they get preferential treatment. Stay away from this resort!
