Gran Oasis Resort

The property provides various pools, well-equipped kitchen, multiple TV channels, and a new kids play park. Guests appreciate the friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, and delicious breakfast with constant restocking.

We last visited the Gran Oasis in Sept 2014. Both children were toddlers then, so the pools and onsite entertainment were ideal. Returned last week, with the same expectations - but this time with a 12 and 11 year old….. Firstly - the 2 bed apartment with rooftop solarium access, is just as I remember. Spacious and comfy. Only downside this time round, was the smell from the en suite bathroom. It wasn’t nice at all. Cleaned daily though and the cleaners are all very courteous and friendly. We went bed and breakfast and upgraded to all inclusive for one of the days. Breakfast is plentiful. Usual continental as well as porridge. Sausage, Bacon, Beans and Egg (Boiled, Fried, Scrambled and also the best omelettes) Should try the Herby Tomatoes and the mini spicy sausages too. Great wee touch! There’s also the European take on breakfast too - like green beans and cauliflower. Never tried it, but it’s there. Pancakes aplenty. Only complaints are that the coffee machines - on more than one occasion, were only running hot water, and the children like milk but it’s the UHT stuff here, so they didn’t have cereal the full week. All inclusive gave us access to food and drink all day, although after 6pm - there’s no access to snacks - only dinner up until 9pm. If you are staying onsite the full week - from my own experience, I would def recommend going all inclusive. Makes sense financially, as paying for food and drink as you go, can become pretty expensive. Please note that the only place that cash is accepted is either the onsite shop or reception. If you don’t have a card, you can run up a bill of up to 300 euros and then pay the bill at reception. There is an onsite shop - only open until 6 every night except Fri, where it’s open until 8 - which proved rather painful when my daughter wanted an ice cream after 6pm. Please note that the shop is VERY limited with its selection of food - if you are b&b only: Pizza, Spag Bol, Carbonara n Lasagne are what’s on offer from the freezer, as well as a selection of cooked meats - none of which my children like. Shopkeeper picks and chooses when to shut up shop too - on more than a few occasions over the week - I popped down to get some essentials and the shutters were down. Nightly entertainment is also a mixed bag - soco bate vira at the kids nightly disco is rather dated after nearly 20yrs since its first release. Watching the kids take an unintentional swing for one another though, with the VR headsets on - was rather amusing. 2 great sized pools in the main complex and an aqua splash for kids up to the age of 11 - at the top of the hill. Towels were placed on the sunbeds daily - by those anally retentive guests that like the same spot, in the same place, at the same time - every day - even though the resort kindly asks patrons not to do this. The staff are all great. Friendly and polite and do a great job at trying to keep folk entertained throughout the day. As I say though, I have

I tried to figure out how this place had a rating over 4.5 and I realised this. If you’re used to quality hotels if four stars and above this place is definitely not for you. If you read the Sun or Daily Mail and work as a labourer on a building site or drive a white van delivering packages then this place will most likely be amazing. It was unclean and very out dated and felt like something like a Spanish Butlins. Honest avoid if you’re looking for a hotel with any form of luxury.
