Hotel staff were verging on rude to us, apart from house maid who actioned shower being fixed without us asking.She also kept our room lovely.
Reception staff, and bar staff were rude to the point of walking away from us without providing service. We are not loud, antagonistic people and have never experienced this before. We saw a difference in the way we were welcomed to the Spanish guests. We felt our (British) presence was not wanted at this hotel.

I would say that 85% of the guests were spanish, and whilst they kept themselves to themselves, I felt that we were definately outsiders. The staff in the hotel and the commerical centre were polite but that is were it ended. They don't make an effort to be friendly and we all felt that they really don't want the Brits there!! However, saying that, we would return to the Oasis for a relaxing break.
It helps if you can speak a little bit of spanish, but don't worry a phrase book and you will be fine.
We met some lovely british people at the pool side, which is beautiful and very quiet until 4 pm then it becomes very busy. The pools are so cold it takes your breath away. You don't have to get up at 6 am to reserve a sunbed, I used to go down at about 8.30 and there was plenty to choose from. You can get towels for the sunbeds, you have to leave 20 euros deposit per towel, but you can change the towels once a day and at the end of the holidays as long as you haven't lost a towel you get your deposit back.
The animation team work very hard to organise activities and entertainment, but the latter left a lot to be desired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not too many self catering 'tools' but we took our own travel kettle so all was well.
Rooms were cleaned daily, and shampoo's, soaps etc replenished when required.
View and air con were super.
Extremely friendly reception staff who nearly all spoke enough English to get by but also made it fun with our bit of 'pigeon' Spanish.
Pools were lovely,clean and safe and 'fresh' to say the least.
The "entertainment" was passable and I'm sure that it was louder in our room than at pool bar where it took place, but it mostly finished at midnight.
Overall, would revisit for another 'wind down'.
Lastly, thanks First Choice for taxi to resort and for not having a 'pushy' rep (Sandra).

Yup, we really enjoyed our stay a lot!!!!!

Went through a back gate which brought you onto a promenade and then onto a fantastic beach that went on for miles.
We found the hotel shop dear but if you take a stroll to the Commercial Centre there you will find a big supermarket which is much cheaper.
We ate in most of the resturants there but couldn't beat the Chinese for value for money.
Made could friends at the Titanic bar situated 50yds from hotel.
Hotel staff were friendly and could speak abit of english but then we practised our spanish on them. Beware when you order a meal, bread is served and you have to pay for it, even if you don't eat it, charges are from 4 euros to 6.
We will definately be going back

We were self catering because we had read in previous reports that the hotel food was poor quality. On arrival had to ask for plates, cups, cutlery, pans etc because the cupboards were bare! These were brought but only enough for the number of people in our family. There was no kettle, just a small saucepan so if you like hot drinks then bring a travel kettle!
It would be very difficult to self cater for your entire holiday with the very basic kitchen utensils provided. We did eat breakfast at the hotel (Galaria restaurant) because it was good quality and plentiful!!
The staff spoke a little English ( this is a very Spanish resort) but did their best to help at all times, the animation team were especially helpful and spoke good English, they also work very hard to provide suitable activities for all age groups, aerobics, vollyball, water polo etc, without being pushy.
The pool area was beautiful, clean, tidy and lots of sun beds but be warned you really have to get up early and put your beach towel down to bag well placed ones!!
The only disappointment for me regarding the pool was that it was very cold even in July/August, however it didn't stop the children enjoying it!
If you like reading then there is a small bookshelf where you can exchange your finished English books with other holiday makers, there was plenty to choose from.
The indoor pool was open but you were required to wear a swim hat for this and a basic gym. There was a nightly entertainment programme which started at 10.30pm for about an hour, run by the animation team who don't seem to stop all day!

A very very relaxing resort ideal for couples .
Theres not much in the way of nightlife very limited choice of bars but staff were very welcoming.
Two very large clean outdoor pools which we had to ourselves most of the time .
There weren't many English/Irish tourists the majority of guests seemed to be Spanish therefore pool area was very quiet in the morning and also at siesta time it got busier in the evening and at weekends.
The beach was very clean and again not very busy.
The supermarket attached to the hotel had limited opening hours we had to use the bigger market about 5 mins walk away from hotel.
The room was small but very clean , TV had sky news and some sport channels.

Don'nt go there if you like having a lively holiday
you certainly won't have it here.
No shops to speak of, nothing much of anything
if you play golf you've got it made
won't be back................ever!

We had a one bedroom apartment, with sofa bed in the main room, which pulled out to make two beds. Crockery and cutlery were brought in a plastic tub on arrival, only enough for the amount of people in your room. Only one pan, one frying pan. No kettle if you are a tea drinker. Room had a TV, with CNN and Sky news, no other English channels. Rest of hotel areas always spotless. You could also hire towels at 10 euros each for the duration of your holiday.
There were two main outdoor pools, both very good and safe, with a lifeguard. Pool bar was open all afternoon. There was also a toddlers play pool and an indoor pool with jacuzzi, but you had to purchase a bathing cap at 2 euros each.
Hotel food - although self catering you can purchase meals in the hotel restaurants. Albatros where breakfast cost 9 euros adults, 5 euros child and dinner cost 20 euros and 10 euros respectively and La Galera which was only open at lunch and this was a la carte.
Buffet breakfast consisted of bacon, eggs, sausage, potatoes, ham, cheese, pastries, cereal, fruit.
Dinner consisted of pastas, chips, meat fish, ice cream, cakes. All very fresh and edible.
Location - I think depends on your taste. There is a mini market attached to the hotel and a small restaurant. Directly situated on the beach and surrounded by residential/private apartments. So hotel located in a very quiet area. Pedestrian beach promenade.
Hotel staff were very helpful, although most of them could not speak English. Hotel seems very Spanish and caters for Spanish tourists, but we just tried to speak a few Spanish words to get by and with help from the staff we communicated quite well - We shouldn't really expect everyone to speak English. In the reception area are two computers with internet access, a charge of 4 euros for an hours use.
Entertainment again depends on your taste, but there was something for everyone. Aerobics, football, darts, volleyball, table tennis, tennis, archery (for children).
Childrens clubs were for 4-7 years and 7-12 years. The children were even given something to eat and drink in the club on a number of occasions. The children were well looked after and enjoyed themselves.
Evening entertainment was quite repetitive. Same mini disco every night, but the children enjoyed themselves. There were a couple of themed shows, Flameco, African dancers and the resident animation team had quiz games and adult participation games.
