All the amenities were shut down their kids soak water. Park was not operating. Their pool was dirty. Their rooms were dirty and under construction. Our TV did not work overall a terrible experience. They said they had transportation to Disney they did not. All in all, it seemed like a lie.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Oasis. The only thing I did not like was being upstairs but that is because I fell down 15 stairs face first a couple of years ago and a few of the stairs at the Oasis felt a little unstable. I do not know how much of the issue was my PTSD and the actual stairs but everything else was amazing!
