Parador El Oasis

Frommer's Review

Although it's not state of the art, this hotel has a hardworking staff and Spanish colonial charm. As an anchor in this quaint old town, far removed from the beaches, it's a fine place to stay. A three-story building constructed around a pool and patio area, the hotel originated in the late 1700s as a privately owned mansion. With its mint-green walls and white wicker furniture, some of the grace remains. The older rooms, positioned close to the lobby, show the wear and tear of the years but are still preferred by some. More modern rooms, located in the back, are plain and functional yet clean and more spacious than the older units. Three of the units have private balconies, and all units have small shower-only bathrooms.

The in-house restaurant is not the most imaginative choice in town, but it emerges year after year as the most reliable and consistent. It's open Tuesday through Sunday from 11am to 2:30pm and 6 to 10pm. Main courses ($12-$18) include empañadillas, platters of Creole-style corn sticks and cheese balls, tenderloin wrapped in bacon, and combination platters of steak and red snapper.
