Advantages: Cabins, Pool layout.

Disadvantages: Small lake/Too busy, Rude staff., Too noisy!

My family decided to try the Oasis leisure park after visiting Centreparcs for several previous years.We are a normal family with 3 kids, 2 parents & 2 grandparents.
Just to be fair straight away, we went shortly after Oasis opened & were always going to compare it with Centreparcs.
The first thing that struck us were Centreparcs accomodation blends into the forest, the log cabins at Oasis were in your face,it looked like a town in the middle of a wood!Inside the cabins was beautiful & roomy.Also on the plus side was the leisure pool which was well laid out & full of little cubby holes with kids sections scattered everywhere. The down side with this idea is that if your like us, you like to keep an eyeball on the kids at all times, so at Oasis you end up following in their every footstep.
3 of us nearly drowned on the flume slide, the bowling alley was like a disco & the on site pub held off duty staff boasting of the generous staff discount.We struggled to get fed & staff were grumpy & rude.

I believe they have re-designed the flume slide so you don't nearly drown anymore!

Seems like you had a not so nice experience in Oasis. Anyway, you could elaborate some more on the downside but also on the positive side of the resort, things like the food, atmosphere, activities programme and the arrangement for reservation. But since you had wanted to focus on the negative, I get the message... Alex
