After reading the Trip Advisor reviews before our trip, we were fairly confident that we would enjoy Oasis, but our expectations were not overly high. We are happy to say we completely underestimated this resort community. It was perfect for our trip and we loved it! Oasis Villa Resort is not a bustling large hotel with restaurants, bars, and resort activities. It IS a wonderful, relaxing home away from home. We rented a two bedroom unit with den and stayed for two weeks. Picture a small, gated, quiet Palm Springs neighborhood with pools, hot tubs, and tennis courts. Some reviews complained about their unit being located just over the wall from the busy street (Hwy 111) because of the noise. Ours was, but it was a non-issue for us. While you could hear some traffic from the patios, it was insignificant. The location is also wonderful. Head west 5 minutes and you're in downtown Palm Springs, head east 5-10 minutes and you're in downtown Palm Desert. We invited older family members to join us for part of the trip and each couple enjoyed privacy in the unit, including their own bathroom. We would definitely stay there again!

This was the 2nd year we were at the oasis. The first week we were a little unhappy. The apt was very dark and was near the highway. Sitting outside was impossible due to the noise and darkness on the patio. However we asked to be changed for the second week and we were given a lovely, very light apt near two pools. The staff was very helpful in every way. Especially a rep named Mark. He did everything he could to accommodate our request. The apts are well equipped and spacious. We plan to return next year and to make sure we request an apt that is sunny and not near the highway.

We requested an upper room as the complex has two stories. It was not available. We did get assigned a unit without an upper level. It was quiet. Appreciated the laundry facilities in our garage. There are bicycles for each unit. Loved watching the hummingbirds while we sat on the patio. The 2 Kumquat trees were full. The property is nicely manicured and the entrance is beautiful with many colorful flowers and a fountain. Only complaint was that our unit carried an odor - not sure if it was stale smoke or from pets. Housekeeping sprayed and the odor was reduced. This property is in a great location, convenient to grocers, the interstate, shopping, hiking.

Great front desk people, polite, friendly and helpful. Lovely well-maintained grounds and the 9 pools were great, often without many people. The units are small: our 2 bedroom, 2 bath would have been very crowded with 4 people. As mentioned, the furniture is old and fairly uncomfortable, with cheap upholstery. One car garage is tiny and only someone with great depth perception could drive in with ease. Biggest complaint: too much air freshener! We all started coughing and I had an allergic reaction! Kitchen is poorly equipped with one pan, one pot and one cookie sheet. However, Oasis Villa met all of our needs and, other than the deodorizer, was satisfactory.
