“Hidden gem”
I wish I could give Olas more than 5 stars! What a beautiful, secluded piece of paradise. Our stay was so much more than I expected. The grounds are very well thought out and maintained. We enjoyed the various sitting areas around the property. My favorite was the sunset deck - PLEASE utilize it!! There's a sectional sofa, little bar top with stools, and the very best views to watch the sun set - very romantic. There's even wifi so we brought our speaker and listened to music. We stayed in beachfront cabin 3 and loved it. There's no A/C but we did not miss that one bit. The entire property was specifically designed to capitalize on the ocean's breeze, including the rooms. We had a kitchenette that was very well appointed and had everything we needed. We brought ingredients to make our own cocktails because there's no bar on site - this was not inconvenient for us at all, my husband enjoys making drinks for us. Falling asleep to the sound of the breeze and waves on a comfortable bed was just dreamy! There were two pillows per person . The water pressure was enough and the hot water took a few minutes to reach the shower but not a bother to us. I do recommend leaving your shoes outside your room, sand will get all over your floor and I personally don't like that. The breakfast every morning was a highlight!! Nano made the best meals taking our food interests and needs into consideration. Only breakfast is served so you will need to make up for your other meals. We spent a great deal of time by the ocean and thoroughly enjoyed many, many walks along the beach on the biosphere side of the hotel - the other direction was the hotel zone and much too crowded for me. There was sargassum on the beach but it is what it is. Not as much as some other places had, and we learned to live with it instead of be disgruntled about it. At least it didn't smell and it really didn't take away from the beauty that is all around. Lastly, Asia was the most knowledgable and helpful host! She was eager to offer suggestions on what to do and where to go, and even helped with various reservations. Asia always followed through and was attentive. We very much enjoyed getting to know her and Nano! We absolutely loved this hidden gem and cannot wait to return - there's so much magic in the air here! Oh - we rented a car from Tulum airport and couldn't have done the trip without going broke if we hadn't. If you are looking for a beautiful, peaceful, and secluded getaway, this is your place! We went into town (hotel zone) a few times and had some amazing dinners but always looked forward to getting back to this paradise. Thank you, Olas, for being different!
