If you’re looking to be close to Great sand Dunes NP this is as close as you can get without actually being on the dunes, It’s only a 5min drive. We stayed in a Geo Dome, which was clean and also had a pretty comfortable bed. The Oasis also has really good food as well, I can’t speak to lunch but the breakfast was really great. All in all if you’re visiting the park this is the only place you should consider staying it will make your trip more enjoyable.

You pay for the view and it is worth it. The rooms are clean but outdated. We had tons of live bugs in the room and asked for a flyswatter. They gave us Raid, which worked but was not optimum. Location is great near the park. We loved the hummingbirds and the star views at night.
