Grand Oasis Marien

Frommer's Review

This is an artfully designed compound, which we like almost as much as the Iberostar , which sits immediately next door. Couples seeking privacy at this all-inclusive resort will find it here, but those wanting around-the-clock activities will also be rewarded. Decor inside is stylish and more cutting edge than what you'll find within some other, older resorts. A lagoon-shaped swimming pool and a series of three-story pastel-colored buildings radiate outward from an artful, Taíno-inspired central core, all of it set against a backdrop of sandy beach. A tobacco-leaf theme predominates, including replicas of broad leaves inlaid in ceramic tiles, upholstery fabrics, artwork, and even in the handmade iron headboards in the bedrooms. On-site is a theater where concerts and meringue shows are presented for up to 750 people at a time. The bedrooms are midsize to spacious, each well furnished and containing a balcony or ground-floor patio.

Facilities:
4 restaurants, including an all-night snack bar; 4 bars; 2 pools (outdoor and children's); fitness room; state-of-the-art spa; Jacuzzi; sauna; children's club; babysitting; nonsmoking rooms; 1 room for those w/limited mobility
