Comments & Reviews about Be Live Viva Beach fomerly Oasis Viva Cancun:
For the cost and location, the Grand Oasis Playa is what it is: a mid-range all inclusive.
Or maybe it would be best stated with; you get what you pay for.
Our first issue in Cancun were not with the hotel, but the booking agent who sent us to the wrong hotel. After a lengthy wait in the heat, we finally found our way to the Grand Oasis Playa. The staff that greets you are friendly. We found our room to be clean and sufficient. Our toilet did not work, but they had it fixed that within an hour.
The staff are generally friendly. As at any location, you found a few staff that seemed less than happy. As for the staffed mini bar and fridge, we still were looking for that after a week. If you request service, you will find 2 beers in the fridge upon your return. If lucky, they will supply water daily. Don't expect much with housekeeping. You will get your bed made daily, but don't think you will get towels or soap unless you ask.
The food is sufficient. Really, for what you are paying, could you ask for more? We were happy with all of our meals. It is your standard all-inclusive meals.
The drinks consist of watered down liquor and beer. If you go to the bar and ask for a good drink, they may poor you a bit more. Though not potent, they do help quench the thirst on a very hot day.
The grounds are well kept, as are the pools. The rooms could use updating, but as stated earlier, they are sufficient.
We enjoyed the location. Easy access to the bus and town. For those who want a local trip, take the 4 mile bus ride to El Rey. This site is wonderful. A mayan ruin that has been taken over by gila monsters. We enjoyed this no frill trip, and took some great pictures.
Overall, the hotel is fine. It seems better fitted to the college aged student. Acceptable rooms and adequate food. If you are looking for a luxury vacation, well, this is not the place. If you are looking for a nice get-away, well, this may do.
