I recently stayed at this resort for 4 nights. I was in the area for business, and booked this hotel since this is where my colleague opted to stay. It was reasonably priced (I assume since it is off-season), and the rooms were nice, clean, and comfortable. I must say I was a bit surprised when I was told that... More

Our stay at Oaks was pleasant. We overpaid for the room but that was our fault and not the hotels. We left it to the last minute and the studio apartment went up from 107 to 160 for the night. A tip to avoid this price hike is to book at least 2 weeks out and preferably earlier. It will... More

We stayed for six nites in a three bedroom apartment. Surpirised that not one day the apartment was serviced. It would be expected thatvtvleast once during the week the apartments would have been cleaned - we were told... More

The resort is nothing spectacular for what you pay for it... there is only one restaurant which... if you are staying for a long weekend, has buffet dinner for friday and sunday - which is not cheap so best you find a local restaurant to go to. There is no room service or anything as the rooms are owned privately... More

My girlfriend and I just spend two nights at Oaks Pacific. I must say the pool is amazing, the room was very clean but we had to ask for extra plate, knife and fork. The staff were busy with bookings and said would take 20 mins, we got it 6 hours later. The room is not serviced so you use... More

The Oaks provided a great three day break for the family. The rooms were perfectly laid out with great amenities. The adjoining suits were perfect for the kids and adults.... and secure too. My only niggle was the DVD player in the room was not working for some functions. Overall a 9.5 out of 10. More

When we booked this resort, we were a little concerned about some of the negative reviews, so didn't expect too much. We booked a studio, which was perfectly adequate for our needs, and very nicely decorated, although the bathroom is a bit of a tight squeeze. The room and bed linen was very clean (the only exception being the tiled... More
