Just a quick update on this, the US Federal Court in Georgia has denied an "emergency motion to vacate or adjust" the Commercialization Injunction against Globalia/BeLive for the 10 DBA as BeLive, aka, Oasis Resorts in Mexico as of yesterday afternoon. Globalia/BeLive still has an appeal regarding the injunction pending in a US Federal Appeals Court that is still in the pre-trial phase. The denial likely means that Globalia/BeLive has minimal opportunity to profit from the coming Spring Break and High Seasons in Cancun due to the time-line involved at the Appeals Court level and may be facing a mandatory contractual turnover of the 10 resorts back to Oasis Hoteles by the end of May/2011 unless further legal wrangling is involved. JMO In addition: "Preferente" is confirming the injunction denial as well, and additionally noting that their information indicates that the BeLive/Oasis Resorts are currently operating at an average 19% occupancy. http://www.preferente.com/index.php...a-de-comercializar-sus-hoteles-mexicanos.html
Ladies and Gentleman, we may have a settlement and it looks like the Oasis Flag is returning to Cancun in the near future.I'm still waiting on the legal confirmation of this as Globalia backed out of an earlier deal but with the PR out front on this it would be difficult to believe they don't have this done.

Just in time for Spring Break 2011 Oasis and Be Live Resorts are back open for business to the Canadian and United States travel agents to sell AGAIN!! PLEASE READ: Here is the news: Globalia and Oasis Signed under the mediation of Governor Felix Gonzalez and Roberto Borge elected governor Oasis and Globalia end up a conflict that involved around 4000 rooms in Cancun, with the mediation of the governor Felix Gonzalez and his successor Roberto Borge, the conflicting parties: Globalia, owned by Spanish Juan Jose Hidalgo and Oasis Pedro Pueyo, reached an agreement, apparently beneficial to both, since last weekend Javier Hidalgo Vice President and Javier Blanco General Director of the Be Live chain (son and son in law of Juan Jose Hidalgo), came to Cancun to meet with both leaders in addition to the other party of the conflict in order to defuse the dispute that Oasis won in state courts. Here yesterday an agreement was signed with representatives of the two Spanish businessmen. 1 .- Globalia operate until April 30, 2012 three hotels: Riviera Maya, Viva and Viva Grand Cancun with a total of 750 rooms, under the brand Be Live. 2 .- Oasis operate the rest of the Mexican Caribbean hotels immediately, under the brands Sens, Grand Oasis and Oasis with a total of 7 hotels and 3150 rooms. 3 .- The agreement puts an end to the various national and international litigation. Felix Gonzalez and Robert Borge stressed that after the agreement, the tour operators who works with these hotels in markets like U.S., Europe and Canada can be certain that come to Cancun is safe. Representatives from Oasis and Globalia saids that they are satisfied with the agreement reached with the mediation of the Governor Felix Gonzalez. So, Welcome Back OASIS!!
Read a press report from the Spanish media that states Oasis Hoteles et al and Globalia signed a formal agreement on this past Saturday night to end the dispute as per prior PR reports out of Cancun. As of now, and it was Federal Holiday in the States today, there's no confirmation of the legal side being closed in the US though likely now a formality, however, until the US Federal Court drops the injunction, it would remain in effect. As an aside as per Noticaribe, it looks like the first Spring Break fatality has occurred, at the Oasis Cancun, where a Spanish student, male, 20, y/o fell from a third floor balcony in the early AM. http://www.noticaribe.com.mx/cancun...l_al_caer_de_un_tercer_piso_del_hotel_oa.html
As anticipated, the injunction has been suspended at the US Federal Court level pending permanent removal by the US District Appeal Court as Travamerica, the plaintiff, for Oasis Hoteles has requested that the case be dismissed, and agreed that the case would be dismissed with prejudice, which is the Court's way of saying, don't come back.
For us tourists its just simple: - The (Grand)Oasis is back on the European/US Market and can be booked over Travel Agencies. - All reservations are (no matter if done with Oasis or Belive) still valid. For informations about your reservation please call the Hotel directly under +529988850867
