A perfect month-long stay made unforgettable by the amazing staff.
Pros:

We stayed one month at The Oasis and loved everything about our stay! The villa itself was new, clean and comfortable. I needed to continue working during the days and the facilities there fitted my needs perfectly so I could work without any interruptions. The location of the property was quiet, but connected enough to still visit the beach and the surrounds easily. The food was very good and fresh. The menu was very nice and the chefs and barmen were skilled and accommodating - breakfast was really great, the lobster was perfect, G&T hit the spot. The most outstanding aspect of our stay was the staff. Friendly, professional and lot of fun (we loved the birthday dances they gave the guests including myself). Thank you to the whole team including Kunal, Kidawa, Hawa, Joshua, Jacqueline, Avith, Dorris, Revellian, Swabri, Mara, Security, the whole maintenance, housekeeping team and Isabella the cat!
Asante sana - you truly made our stay memorable!!!

Cons:

Loved it all

Pros:

Отдых в этом отеле оставил исключительно приятные впечатления. Очень красивый и продуманный интерьер, уютная атмосфера и внимательный персонал, который действительно заботится о гостях. Номера чистые, комфортные и стильные, все детали продуманы до мелочей. Особенно понравились тишина, удобная кровать и потрясающий вид.

It was really a surreal experience and I cannot wait to go back here!
Pros:

Everything! It’s truly an Oasis!

Cons:

Nothing to not like :), it was truly amazing.

Maybe the pool hours to be slightly later. (Closes at 8:00,9:30 would be nice in low season)

Well deserved break
Pros:

The place is "Paradise" that's what my son said, when we first went there. It is very sustainable and just a wow!

Cons:

The food was very expensive, charged in dollars and it was too far from the beach. The daily taxis to the beach add up and makes everything seem so expensive.

Un havre de paix
Pros:

Petit déjeuner à la carte super, on peut choisir plusieurs plats, tout est à volonté et très bon.
Personnel au petit soin et gentil. Cadre paradisiaque et les navettes pour aller dans leurs hôtels partenaire gratuitement sont top et rapides. Salle de sport très bien pour des vacances.
Villa grande et équipé pour se faire à manger. Nettoyage en profondeur tous les jours ! Clim dans le salon + dans les deux chambres
On devait h rester que 3 nuits et on a finalement prolongé le séjours de 3 nuits supplémentaires.

Cons:

Il y avait souvent des choses sur la carte qu’ils n’avaient pas. Cependant lorsqu’on a demandé une coco qu’ils n’avaient pas, ils en ont acheté exprès pour nous le lendemain, c’était adorable.
Coussins trop épais à notre goût

Vi synes der var en utrolig god service. Vi benyttede os af muligheden for at besøge Mwezi som er der søsterindkvarterin
Pros:

Jeg kunne lide alt ved det her sted. Der var rent. Behagelige senge. Maden var god. Personalet var yderst hjælpsomme og venlige. De gjorde helt klart vores ophold bedre. De var meget professionelle men hyggede sig også ved gæsterne. Mine børn elskede de søde unge medarbejder som dagligt brugte tid til at sludre lidt. Vi kunne nævne alle de søde medarbejdere alt fra den venlige vagt, receptionen og de søde folk fra restauranten. Vi vil klart anbefale det her hotel til andre. Husene havde alt hvad man skulle bruge til at lave mad. Vi fik lov til at tjekke ud senere og generelt følte vi at de vi gøre meget for at tilfredsstille os.

Cons:

Næsten alt var perfekt. Så det her er små ting.
Vi ville elske at der var et tørrestativ til terrassen da vores våde tøj og håndklæder hang på alle stole og borde udenfor.
Jeg kunne se at nogle af kvinderne der arbejdede på hotellet bærer tørklæde når de ikke er på arbejde. Jeg synes generelt at det er trist at mange hoteller foretrækker at kvinderne tager tørklæde af på arbejde pga. turister. Det havde ikke gjort dem mindre venlig.
