wish there was room service especially for breakfast, didn't want to wake up early to go eat but everything else was good.

I liked the restaurants, the food and food choices. Concierge was not accurate with excursions. Rooms were not updated. Staff was not friendly.

The beach is pretty and the pool was refershing. But...the food was terrible. The 20/person snorkeling trip went to a dead reef and tennis lessons didn't happen 2 out of the 3 days we stayed (I had really looked foward to that!). All-inclusive drinks was the only thing that made us happy. There really is nothing special about this resort. Maybe good for families with kids, but nothing luxury or special for adults who have been around the world. Also -- a 1.5 hour and 90 cab ride from Santo Domingo -- thanks A LOT online travel website for not including that in our so-called "all inclusive" vacation package. Overall it was a bummer of a trip for the money we spent.

The hotel was clean and we had a great time at the pool. The entertainment staff was great and went out of thier way to be friendly and make sure we were having a good time. Housekeeping was also very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The wait staff and front desk staff was horrible. NO one got in a hurry and ignored us repeatedly. I usually am very patient and understand when someone is busy, but they would see you and look at thier watch and walk away. Don't ask for anything extra, even if you offer to pay for a service or extra they will not help you. They just say no. I asked for a soft drink at breakfast, offered to pay or offered to go somewhere else to get it. They just laughed at me and said no we drink coffee for breakfast. Dropped my towel in the pool and the pool guy told me to be more careful because he didn't have many towels and everyone only needed one.

The Oasis Canoa is a pleasant hotel to stay in. Since the hotel is under renovation there was alot that we where not able to enjoy... There was only one restaurant open per night besides the buffet, there is construction going on right by the pool and one side of the hotel is off limits due to renovations. In a near future this will definetely be one of the nicest hotels to stay in if the value continues to stay low to moderate. As for the food they could definately do better. The food was ok but was not GREAT. I must say the dinner at the mexican restaurant was what I enjoyed best. Staff is very friendly and attentive with some exeptions. It seems that tourist are given more attention and although I am from the US I have a Dominican background and speak spanish fluently because of this it seemed we sometimes ignored and attended after the others. I must say this does not apply to all staff but certainly to a good percentage. Also there is not much to do during the night time after dinner. I assume because it was low season and not many guest they might limit there activities. I hope to have a better experience next time arround.

I was overall disappointed with this resort. For a resort of its size, I would expect more of the staff to speak English. Language was a big issue along with exchanging money. The resort itself will not take the American dollar. They do provide a small bank at the resort, but with limited hours and staff that barely speaks English. The bank was not open at the times posted. Good Luck! I expected the room to be nicer and it was supposed to be a renovated room. Our room was very small, air conditioner ran consistently and it still was not cool in our room during the day. Our room was not cleaned consistently, one night it was 11:15pm before they came to clean it after I had called the front desk around 7pm. On the third day of our stay, one of the buildings/restaurant at the resort caught fire and pretty much burned up! I understand that was out of their control, but it left the pool closed for the rest of the week and all the activities pretty much ceased. I felt like the staff should have stepped up and continued activities. We received only a short letter stating sorry for the fire, it was out of our control. Before the fire, the staff always had some type of activity going. Overall the staff was friendly, except for the staff at the front desk, they would tell you to go find your representative. I was not informed of having a representative at this resort until the front desk told us to go find him after inquiring about excursions. We were sent to one who helped us with a couple excursions then when he didn't setup one excursion like he said he had, he informed us he wasn't our representative. I then booked an excursion with the shop on the beach which is associated with the resort, only to get there at the scheduled time on the day of the excursion to find that they had cancelled it b/c there was not enough people. No one bothered to call our room or leave us a message to inform us so that we could plan something else. As far as safety, I did feel safe within the

THe canoa Oasis is a large property with one of the most nicest staff ever. I enjoyed my stay very much and the staff made sure of that.
