Oleo Cancun Playa All Inclusive Boutique Resort

(From the UK). Ignore the negative reviews on here. For the price Oleo is a great hotel. Yes it’s smaller than many of the other resorts in cancun (I have previously stayed at Moon Palace) but it states boutique hotel. We felt we got a great deal for the price we paid for 10 days away in Mexico. The pool and beach always had available beds over the 10 day stay. The Beach was beautiful no seaweed. Breakfast choice and lunch in the buffet is very good. The buffet at dinner time has themed evenings. The Mediterranean and Japanese restaurant are of a good standard, the service is better than the food I say this as the menu in both doesn’t change but there is a fair amount of choice. You can eat in them as many times as you want during your stay (if you are all inclusive). We ventured out a couple of times to eat as we did eventually want to try something new. Navios (opposite the hotel and the Alsahar which was is opposite the hard rock hotel & a dollar bus ride away on the R2 which stop right outside Oleo hotel if waved down!) was beautiful. Food, setting & service brilliant as was in Alsahar. Also suggest going to Isla mujeres for the day on the ferry. Again take the bus all the way down to the ferry stop (15 mins). The staff at Oleo were very attentive, friendly, polite people. They serve you by the pool and on the beach. The cocktails are very good. The pool bar food is also good. They hotel is very clean and the suites are spacious, light and clean with a very comfortable super king bed. The gym is small but has everything you need. Shout out to Antonio for the entertainment during the day and evening - worth getting involved as there are prizes to be won! & all the waiting / bar staff for working as hard as they do all with a smile on their faces. The brown bag coffee shop serves great coffee / frappes and wraps / toasties which were all delicious!!! Claudia was a brilliant barista. The stay has exceeded my expectations. The reviews were very negative and I’m not sure why… I came thinking I would be in a run down hotel with no hot water, having to venture out for food THIS HASN’T BEEN THE CASE AT ALL. Taxi from cancun airport to oleo should be $30. For late check out ie past noon you pay $15 per room per hour if you wish to stay until 2pm latest and use the facilities.

We stayed at Tim’s 3000 condo. The most luxurious place! 360 views of the hotel zone from 2 terraces. Beautiful pool, spa and beach. We took advantage of the whole hotel. The hotel staff is nice but Tim’s manager for the condo, Abdiel is the most helpful and Paola worked hard to make sure our check in and check out were seamless. Abdiel and Paola took out luggage and groceries up flights of stairs. Then they unpacked the groceries and put them away!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t tell you how incredible it was to come in from our tour and find our condo set up like our home. And that’s how we felt while we were there- just like home. Planning to return soon🤗

Let me start off by saying I would HIGHLY recommend this resort if you are looking for a quiet getaway. It is not the usual crazy Cancun party vibe. The rooms are very quiet, I slept like a baby. The food is very good! The pool snackbar had excellent ceviche and fish tacos!! There is something for everyone food wise, so much variety. Shout out to Raul & Jonathan at the pool bar & Claudia at the Brown Bag Cafe, those are just a few of the extremely kind and patient individuals who waited on us. Fun thing to note: if you book a service at the spa (I got an excellent massage), you have access to a private infinity pool, hot tub, steam room and sauna for the WHOLE DAY! So worth it, felt like paradise only even better. If you want to go shopping or clubbing, skip the taxi and take the bus! The stop is right outside the resort, its only $1 each way and comes every 5 minutes, it runs 24 hours and is actually a really fun experience. The only things that didn't make it a 5 star (note these are picky and didn't affect our stay, we are still very happy): no premium alcohol, all the brands are very basic (I like nice tequilas and vodkas but this wasn't available), not even at the lobby bar. Sushi at Hakka could offer a bit more variety. Lobby bar could have had music that was a bit more upbeat and fun at night. Beside those minor things, I loved this resort! Clean and well located!!
