Oasis Cancun is a Mayan-themed resort hotel on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The property is one of several in Cancun managed by the Oasis hotel chain. There are strategies to follow so you can take full advantage of the benefits at this all-inclusive resort.
Determine what you'd like to do during your stay, then plan a rough itinerary that will allow you to accomplish everything you want to try. Keep it somewhat flexible so you can adjust to the circumstances, such as the weather. For example, an afternoon of kayaking using the hotel's complimentary watercraft will need to be switched to sightseeing and shopping if there's heavy rain. Check with the hotel in advance about any reservations needed for special events or recreational activities such as parasailing, diving, bicycling and guided tours.
Oasis Cancun is an all-inclusive resort, meaning that almost all hotel amenities (note the word "almost") are included in the price of a room. This means meals, snacks, alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, and sports and recreational facilities are available whenever you want them. If you want a pina colada, swim up to one of the three poolside bars, give your name and room number, and enjoy your drink. Special events, diving trips, parasailing, nighttime parties and other activities may be advertised in the lobby or your room TV, but they may also cost extra.
Read the all-inclusive policy so you can understand what is included in your room price. While the resort may advertise that all meals are included in the fixed price, it may not mean unlimited eating and drinking but rather a fixed number of meals and beverages per day.
Oasis Cancun is staffed with friendly, knowledgeable locals who are employed to ensure you have a good time. During your stay, you may be approached by people who ask you to attend a presentation meeting or offer to improve your stay with an upgrade. You may be offered some sort of gift just for attending. These are sales pitches. In some cases, and depending on your disposition, the come-on can be an intense, high-pressured effort to get you to invest in a time share, buy a condo, upgrade your accommodations or some other attempt to get you to spend money.
If you go to Cancun with an eye on investing in a time share or real estate, by all means attend a sales presentation. But if you are in Mexico to relax, soak up the sun and frolic in warm, Caribbean waters, you can expect half of one of your vacation days will be lost to a sales pitch, and all you'll have to show for it is maybe a coupon for a free rental of a dive mask, snorkel and fins.
