Casa Oasis

I'm giving this place 5 stars because it was honestly the most beautiful Airbnb I've stayed in. It's even better than the photos. The space is larger than it appears in photos and the decor is to die for. Really, whoever did the interior decoration has fantastic taste! Having the private pool in the back is such a luxury, we really enjoyed spending some of our mornings or afternoons lounging by the pool. However, a couple of caveats. As others have written, there are cats in the backyard. They are adorable (and quite shy) and we loved them, but if you have allergies I would caution against this house because they are in the garden most of the time. Second, the noise from the street does reach the bedroom at night and light from the skylights does make it quite bright in the mornings. With earplugs and eye masks we were fine but worth taking into consideration. But truly, it's worth it because this home was stunning.

Es una bella casa con gatitos incluidos, la zona no es la mejor pero si rentas auto no tendrás ningún problema

This apartment is stunning, very well decorated and stylish and the pool and garden area were beautiful and relaxing. The apartment is well ventilated and stayed relatively cool even in the hot Merida summer. There is AC in the bedroom area which can be sealed to cool the front of the house (minus the kitchen). We had a car and the location was a short drive into the main area of Centro, but if you were walking it might be more difficult. Communication was a little difficult as the phone numbers listed on the Remixto website did not work when we called. All in all we wished we had more time here.

Everything was so wonderful and amazing. Except the car noise at night could be noxious. But we kinda noticed it’s like that across Mérida because how narrow the streets are and how close they are to the houses. But the place is an ethereal experience for both me and my girlfriend!

“We enjoyed our stay overall! The house is so beautiful as shown on Airbnb and the communication was very smooth from the booking to check-out. The concierge was always supportive and responsive. Everybody I met around the house was greeting nicely and welcoming. However I need to say that the logistics/management could have been handled better: the key failing to work and wandering around in the street for one hour in the strong heat with all our baggages , walking into the house of mess of the previous customers, waiting at the entrance for an hour as the place being not ready after our check-in time due to the cleaning delay, finding rubbish here and there after the cleaning lady left, having to leave your full credit information for the possible extra bills on a piece of paper was not very comforting as you can imagine, especially after traveling to get there for a long time. Also on our day of check out, in the morning when we have last chance to enjoy the place, there were the maintenance guys came in to clean the pool... if they had come earlier that would have been great so that we could use the pool. Otherwise, they could have come after we left so that we could enjoy our time fully while we paid for. The kitchen is well equipped, except there is no cooking oil and you are not allowed to leave any food behind if you don't want a fine. Thank you and hope these insights help to make the place even more glorious!

We spent a week at Casa Oasis, and truth be told, it has its good points and it's not so good points. First of all the casa is beautiful, exactly like the pictures, with plenty of space, a relaxing garden with a variety of plants, and a nice pool in which to cool off. The bed could be softer for our tastes, but the place is clean and comfortable and the wi-fi was fast and dependable. The casa is managed by Remixto Concierge Service, so there's always someone available to answer questions, provide more cleaning and water, set up rides, etc. Mariana and Luis were super helpful whenever we needed something. Located in Chen-Bech, a working-class neighborhood just west of downtown, the casa was withing walking distance of all the landmarks, museums, etc. we wanted to visit, plus there are plenty of places to shop and eat, from budget restaurants and small grocery stores and markets, to higher-priced places and pubs. There is a fish restaurant, Mar Y Sol, just across the street from the Chen-Bech Market that serves excellent filets, large portions, at budget prices. We ate there numerous times and tried a variety of menu items. Plaza Patio Merida is a mall about a twenty-minute walk away with a large grocery store, a movie theater that shows first-run, English-language films subtitled in Spanish for about $3.00 a show (we saw Glass), and plenty of clothing stores if you need to pick up anything you may have forgotten. But be forewarned, you will need earplugs in order to sleep. The casa is located on 57th, which for a small street is rather busy with all types of vehicles, from scooters and motorcycles, to cars, trucks, and buses. Unfortunately all the east-west streets are like this, and its even worse downtown. Reviews for all hotels, even the boutique ones, mention car traffic as a problem. It does make it easy to catch a taxi or a colectivo right outside the door, but it makes it difficult to really relax in the living room at certain times of day, and the bedroom can be just as bad. There are also dogs barking during the night. We recommend silicone earplugs, not the foam ones, they do nothing. That said, the yard and pool at the back of the house provide a respite from the traffic, and there are doors that can close to simultaneously keep the bedroom cool and the kitchen quiet. Note that there is also a carpentry business operating next door, so you will hear noise from there as well during the day. If the casa was located somewhere quiet, we would absolutely stay there again, but it was just too noisy for us at its present location.

“The home, yard and pool are beautiful. We really enjoyed the place and if it is managed better it would be a wonderful place to stay. A few things to mention: As some others have mentioned, the property is managed by an agency (remixto) and they are involved in maintenance / check in and check out. During a 3 night stay, we ran out of water twice. This greatly affected out plans to see the city as we could not shower, cook, use the bathroom for over 6 hours of our stay. When the water service arrived they simply refilled the water tank on the roof with the hose in the backyard. Remixto mentioned that water pressure is an issue throughout the city and that is the cause of an empty tank. Since this is the case the company should monitor water levels daily so guests are not left without running water. Others also mentioned that this house requires guests to pay for the electric costs at checkout - this is true but please note if you are not comfortable leaving your credit card information hand written it is possible to pay by cash. In our case , because we were left without running water for so long we refused to pay the additional electric cost.”
