I had the same dilemma as you when I was deciding my hotel. Whenever I did a cancun search, Oasis would pop up as the place to be, but then I read the reviews alot of them were horrible. But later on I also took into account who was writing those reviews(non-Srping breakers), and what time of year they went....those 2 things are very important to know when going by reviews. In the end I just had to think about what was most important,..."best Party scene atmosphere", or "better quality room", so I picked Oasis. I also wanted the best of both worlds, but every hotel pro had its con, and I think more than anything else, I want to have a good ass time...more so than worrying about the details of a room, which someone pointed out to me that I would'nt be spending much time in anyway, if im having fun. But if not that I'd also say Gran Caribe, I also considered that spot at one point, but changed my mind. It was one of my top 3. Welcome to the boards.
I heard the Gran Caribe Real was relatively tame as far as a spring break hotel. It's very nice though.
i stayed at the riu caribe last year.. really nice but kinda quiet and off the main strip.. this yr me and 3 friends are all going too barcelo tucancun
When you say tame do you mean a lack of spring breakers or that it is not as wild as the Oasis? I am 25 I don't want to much young ones running around being too immature!
nothing's as wild as the Oasis, Sir Tips.... I'm saying less spring breakers, but still some.. it sounds like it might be what you're looking for PM Jessie from the board to get her take on the place... She's 25 and spent 2 weeks at the Gran Caribe last spring break from before peak week til after it.
