Don’t stay here if you want peace and quiet! This place is on the corner of the main highway and another busy street, which is frequently used for Ambulance transfers to the hospitals nearby! The Oasis is, also, in a direct flight path, on calm days, for planes landing at Cairns airport. Noise can also radiate, into the rooms, from groups of travelers and their children yelling from the pool and BBQ area, as was the case on a couple of evenings and into the nights, during our week’s stay! Although the above has been mentioned in this review, the noise didn’t bother hubby and I as much as the state of unit 17 did! If other 2-bedroom apartments, in the complex, are as run down, as this one, with disgustingly dirty curtains, uncomfortable beds, uncomfortable peeling away lounges, (they definitely need to be replaced), fold up cheap ‘Bunnings like’ metal chairs, for sitting at the dining table, and a gas stove that has to be lit with matches, then again, don’t choose the Oasis for your vacation, in Cairns. The room, which didn’t have a lot of natural light, needs renovation. The pool area could do with some upgrading, as well. The concrete throughout the pool area has many cracks in it and the coating on the pool steps is lifting! The Manager/Caretaker was friendly and very accommodating. We were originally allocated, through our booking, a 2nd floor 2-bedroom unit, to be accessed by stairs. At our request, in kindness to our knees, he offered us the ground floor, No 17, which had just come up for holiday rental. He did admit he wasn’t sure as to what state it had been left! Even so, it would have been expected that some inspection, on the vacated resident’s departure, would have been done before offering it to holiday renters! Smoking is allowed outside each unit. Sadly, the smoke, from smokers, can drift into other units, whose sliding front doors may be open for fresh air! As well as the above, the free Wi-Fi is useless! This is another negative for the Oasis, with dropouts all the time, and at other times no service at all! For a better and faster service, you need to HOTSPOT your phones! You certainly can’t rely on the Oasis for your free internet! When we came back to Cairns, to visit our family, located around the area, we will definitely choose elsewhere! Once bitten, twice shy!
