Advantages: If all you want is to lie by a pool and eat stodge, it's fine Disadvantages: Pretty much anything else
..., spirits, sticky sweet cocktails and a liqeur that I couldn't finish as it was like paint stripper. The wine is terrible.
As well as the AI buffet, the hotel has an Italian and Indian restaurant. These are not included, although you do get a discount. I didn't try them, as they looked deserted every night.
If you do go out to eat, the adjacent Bamburi BeachHotel (just turn right outside the hotel along the dirt path, it's 2 mins' walk) has a nice restaurant overlooking the sea and pool called Fisherman's Cave, which does really good food, and has outdoor tables by the sea or inside in the sea cave themed interior, staff are genuinely nice. There is also a good Indian restaurant in another hotel, also 2 mins' walk, left from the hotel along the main road (braving every passing vehicle honking at you).
Of course, the usual touts hang out...

Advantages: Located on Jumeriah Beach, comfortable, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, SUPERB VALUE for money and quality for a 4 star hotel Disadvantages: none really - if you get a sea view room
...Visitors to Dubai are presented with a mind-boggling choice of hotels ranging from budget, to a mass of 4 star plus and 5 star Hotels, not to mention the world famous 7-star Al-Burj Hotel situated on the white sandy Jumeirah Beach.
So where do you start? If you are looking for a reasonably priced pleasant hotel with a relaxed atmosphere out of the hustle and bustle of the city, look no further than the splendid Oasis BeachHotel; a 4 star deluxe resort hotel, located on the beach. This hotel is ideal for the ultimate in relaxation offering the holiday maker emotions of tropical beauty, lush green lawns, unspoilt beach views and a feeling of being at home yet away from home…

Well lets start by going back to 1993 in September...
I found the whole experience to be great in a hotel in Africa..wow...
Basic ammenities, simple furnishings in room and maid cleaned it everyday...clean towels and bed making...great...The room was for sleeping with no real attraction, bathroom with tiled floor into an area with a shower..
Shower was at times cool, not exactly cold but not piping hot either and pressure was well okay, you are in Africa after all.
Bed had no bugs I could see and although I only saw ants in the room on the last day as I dropped some chocolate on the floor and left it there by accident...The ants came in and collected it and carried it straight home...
