My friends and I stayed in the Oasis Beach Tower apartments. The apartment was very spacious and nice and each room had an ensuite bathroom with ample space and great sea views but that was all that good about it. The service was the worst I have experienced . To start with, we paid for a hotel car to pick us up from the airport, after waiting for almost an hour and after numerous phone calls, it emerged that the driver, picked up the wrong group!!!I do not know if it is because most menial jobs in Dubai are handled by people who are probably paid poorly. On all occassions when we ordered room service, our orders were always mixed up and the staff continously argued with us about what we ordered. The staff did not have a clue about anything. We were meant to board a hotel shuttle that takes you to a point where we could get the city bus tour. On arriving at the hotel reception, we were told that the bus was not due for another 20minutes even though they had given us a timetable. Just as we were about to head back to our rooms, we saw the bus almost leaving and we had to run for it or else we would have missed it and the next one was not due for another hour.

To cap it all off, on checking out of the apartment, my visa card was swiped and i was told that the transaction did not go through and my card was not working. My friend had to pay on my behalf. Imagine my shock when I arrived back home to the UK, only to find out that almost 800 pounds had been taken out of my account. Upon numerous calls to the hotel, where they were rude, arrogant and nonchalant, the money is still yet to be reimbursed. I had to involve my bank. BE WARNED, OASIS BEACH TOWER APARTMENT IS THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER STAYED. The only consolation is that Dubai has a lot to offer and I shall definitely be returning but not to the same apartment.

Booked the Oasis Beach Hotel through an agent in Dublin. Arrived at the hotel and told we were being up-graded to the Oasis Tower Apartments. My husband, daughter, her partner and our 4 year old grand daughter. We had a 4-bedroomed superior apartment on the 37th floor, wow!! It was superb, fantastic view etc, the apartment had excellent fittings and free goodies in the fridge plus tea and coffee, sweets, chocolate, nuts, pasta etc. We had booked half board in the hotel so we had dinner most nights in the Oregano restaurant, the food was excellent and the 4 year old had her fillet steak every time. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool facilities at the tower and hotel were very good for the child. This was our first time in Dubai and we all enjoyed it immensely. The shopping malls are just out of this world. There is a tremendous amount of building going on but this did not detract from the holiday in any way.

apartments in a good position ,bad to beat in my opinion at this time in dubai
had superior 21st floor,
partial palm view, partial sea view , partial marina view, full building opposite view,
booked through dubai biz.com couple hundred pounds cheaper than anyone else. paid in dollars to get better exchange rate,
but company charged 3.5% cc charge which is incredibly high,
between 1 to 2% is enough, 3 .5 just outragious
furnishings very good,
welcome pack was more than adaquate, small supermarket now opened on ground floor very cheap, 1.25 dirhams can of pepsi, bunch of nanas 3 dirhams etc,
beds are amazing, possibly the most comfortable beds ive ever used, bedrooms, bathrooms, first class,
taxis outside no problem except for around 17.00 to 18.00 bit of a wait,
pool was ok, like warm bath, no umberellas and tall buildings , with crane sitting very close,put it into shade after 15.00
full use of oasis beach, which is reasonable 4 star, but very busy on friday and saturday with loads of day paying guests, which i feel is unfair for hotel users,
frankie dettori / marco white restaurant at ground level,

the minus points,
it certainly is 5 star for size of rooms and quality of furnishings, bathrooms etc,
the pool is not 5 star,
and the rooms are not that well soundproofed,
also i had to ring front desk to remind them they were supposed to ring me for early call if you catch my drift,
plus they were 20 minutes late doing room check, and i had to ask them or remind them that they had to do this
not what you need at 04.30 in the morning,

We have just come back from dubai. We were located on the 13th floor and had a partial sea view room on a two bedroom apartment. The apartment was superply furnished, with top range fittings and furniture and decorated to a very high standard. Can't think of how they could have done a better job, and everything you can think of is provided for you. The rooms were huge and both rooms were en-suite, there was a maids room and another toilet. The apartment was cleaned for us everyday, with linen and towels changed, the place was kept immaculatley clean for us, while we were out enjoying the sun. When you arrive you are taken to your apartment and are shown around the apartment and are made to feel very welcomed. WE JUST COULD'NT FAULT THE SERVICE. If you want a stress free holiday, want to be near to the beach, I mean across the road from it, close to all local amenities by taxi, then the oasis beach tower apartments is ideal. We had our two year old with us and he loved it as there was so much space for him to run around in the apartment. We are already planning a trip back to the place. Dubai itself is amazing, very clean and so much to do. There is alot of building work going on, but don't let this put you off as what they are buildiing out there will also amaze you. There is building work going on around the apartments which we could see , but we could'nt here any noise at night and it did'nt effect our holiday. Dubai is the place to go and see.
