I just stayed for about a week at Hotel Oasis and had a great time. I think the Yelp reviews are a…read morebit out of date, as you can see on other platforms they have a 3.7 (Trip Advisor) to 4.2 (Google). Below I discuss some pros and cons. I debated giving a four-star rating, but for ~$70-90 per night I think this is a great option.
Cons:
- Noise. While I found the rooms were quiet enough from neighboring guests, the locals do like to party nearby so there can be music into the night. Nothing the hotel could do about that necessarily
- The dogs. Yes, they can be charming, however, they can make a mess and they do bark at night. Some of the dogs are strays and the hotel probably can't do anything about those, but some are owned by the hotel
Pros:
- Location. This hotel almost seems to have its own private beach. It's not actually private, but it's right there and it's very beautiful. We watched sunsets, sunrises, moon rises, and went tidepooling right out the door. It's also located at the end of the town's "malecón" and is easy to get into the heart of Loreto on foot
- Rooms. I found the rooms totally suitable. While they are not glamorously decorated, I felt they had everything we needed (dresser, closet, hangers, safe). The rooms were clean and housekeeping could be seen daily. The beds are on the harder side. Shampoo and conditioner provided. Hot water was abundant, wifi was sufficient for casual needs, and each room had TV and air-conditioning (yay)
- Staff/service. We received excellent care from all the staff members (reception, restaurant, housekeeping). Most spoke very good English and did their best to meet our group's requests
- Amenities. The pool is great and they have a gigantic hot tub that was very hot
- Breakfast. Included, buffet style with good variety for our group, they kept the coffee refills coming
- Culture. The owners and their staff really try to bring some of Mexico's culture to their guests. This is a family-owned operation and they're passionate about hospitality and tradition. For example, they do a clam bake every week. We also had the pleasure of taking a goat cheese making class. If you get a chance to engage more about cultural topics, I highly recommend it
