Pierce's Oasis Puerto Aventuras Get-a-way
Dear Carol,
My husband and I had been on several
cruises before we asked you to book an all-inclusive for us. We settled on the Oasis
Puerto Aventuras on the Mayan Riviera because of the great deal you found for us.
We had no idea how much we would enjoy the
place. It was so very different from the cruises and really relaxing.
We have really enjoyed the cruises, but
this was a pleasant departure. On a cruise, no matter when you go, there is always a
crowd. Even in the off season you get off the boat with hundreds of people and your tours
are full. However, we created our own schedule at the resort, and we really lucked out.
 Our introductory scuba course
had only five people on it as opposed to the one we took on the cruise which included 15
people. We snorkeled the next day with Dive Aventuras and for the same price as a normal
tour my husband and I enjoyed a private trip with two guides.
While the resort lacked the crowds of a
cruise, it had all the amenities plus a few more. All meals were included -- just like a
cruise. But unlike the cruises, all beverages were included. Sodas, beers, and even
blender drinks were readily served up. It was nice to just walk out of your room with a
key, a towel, and no worries about the expenses.
 While we had been concerned
that the resort would be a little too isolated, the Oasis surprised us. It is situated in
a complex of hotels and condominiums. So unlike some of the all-inclusives, you can escape
to a little town. Puerto Aventuras boasted a lagoon where the interested could swim with
sting rays, manatees, or dolphins while the curious could watch from one of several nearby
bars, restaurants, or souvenir shops. There were also many companies offering snorkeling,
fishing, or sailing trips. There were choices, but it was still a nice small venue without
the bustle of Cancun. We thought it was just perfect.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Oasis and
found it a great value and a nice alternative to cruising. Because you do a lot of
business with them, you were able to make sure we got a great room with a spectacular
view. We couldn't have asked for more.
