Oasis Viva Hotel

The Oasis Viva Beach is the best hotel I've ever stayed in. It's a lovely hotel, there might be posher ones in mexico, but this one definatly gives you the best experience.
There's 5 restaurants there; a sushi bar, a seafood restaurant, an italians, a mexican restaurant and a huge buffet. All the food there was nice, except maybe the seafood, which was still ok... and the food's one of the most important things for me on holiday. There's also a snack bar which does burgers, chips, hotdogs and nachos, which are the best I've ever tasted! Then between 12 and 6am they have snacks out on the bar like sandwiches, pastries and fruit... fresh orange juice and water, so you can have a snack when you come in from clubbing, or when you wake up at 5am from jet lag like we did our first day.
There's lots of entertainment during the day. They do a different activity every hour, like play volleyball, water arobics, bingo, quizzes and some other crazy game like see how far you can kick your flipflop! It's so much fun and you can win prizes, like a 'very expensive senor frogs cup'. The entertainment staff are great, funny and were so much fun. There were a few evening shows on every other night at 9pm, which got really busy, but we missed all of them because we took too long to get ready.
Every night the hotel went to a different nightclub, usually on the best day to go there. If you booked through the hotel, the entertainment staff would take you in a taxi there, sit you at a table and a waiter would bring you drinks all night. Most nights the hotels entertainment staff stayed out late and they were a lot of fun.
The hotel is only 5-10 minutes walk away from all the clubs too, if you wanted to go yourself. There are also buses that come right outside the hotel that go all the way along Cancun and are really easy to get. The fair works out at about 35p.
The hotel was lovely, it was nice and clean our rooms got cleaned every day. There are hairdryers in the rooms, and you get a clean beach towel every day. The sun loungers around the pools are so comfortable there's a soft mat on all of them. There's 2 swimming pools, 2 private jakuzzi's (that are supposed to be for the people in the grand bit, but we went in them anyway. You step out of the hotel door and you are literally right on the beach., and you can walk out into the sea for about a mile before it gets deep.
All of the staff are really friendly, in fact I didn't meet 1 unfriendly mexican. There's a great atmosphere at the hotel, and most of the staff speak really good English.
