Secluded high in the ritzy Los Sueños Resort, Casa Oasis suits large parties keen on lazy pool days. Its sun deck overlooks neighbouring rainforest – with monkeys and macaws regularly heard – as the freeform pool curves around a swim-up tiki bar; submerged stools enable comfortable cocktail-sipping. Besides this is a hot tub, and landscaped gardens containing 50 fruit plants.
Shaded al fresco lounges border a small dining area where six people can enjoy snacks straight off the barbecue. The Pacific Ocean is visible from here; at sunset, it turns a glorious pink. Inside, the Casa blends colonial-style wooden panels and cool tiles with contemporary open-plan design. Its focal ‘great room’ incorporates an additional dining table, sofas and the kitchen, whose island counter seats four. There’s also a foosball table and a second bar.
Every interior space is air-conditioned, including five luxurious bedrooms equipped with TVs and bathtubs. One affords direct pool-terrace access, while the top-floor master suite has a jacuzzi tub and private balcony.
From there you can see La Iguana, the resort’s jungle-clad championship golf course. Hire golf buggies to reach that, or to capitalise on your free entry to Los Sueños’s exclusive beach club and its beach volleyball, more pools and white sand. Restaurants line the nearby marina village. Your dedicated concierge can also arrange sport-fishing or other watersports; housekeepers also attend the Casa, and a chef can be hired.
