Mar 31, 2026Beautiful Resort to relax
Small but perfect resort for 2 friends to relax and get a break from the cold winter in NL Canada. The room could use updating as well as a sitting space on the small balcony, but it was clean spacious and comfortable. Food is great- enjoyed both restaurants and ate most meals at buffet. Really enjoyed eating all our meals at buffet outside with an ocean view. The staff are so friendly and can’t do enough for you. Special meal created by Chef Orlando at the Almar Restaurant and served by Angel, was outstanding! Loved the coffee bar with soft serve -yourself ice cream. Very little entertainment but fine for us who like to relax and play cards in the evenings while sipping on our favorite drinks. Dog-friendly too which we enjoyed. Met some lovely people from the UK that we enjoyed. Beach wasn’t great with lots of seaweed but that was on Mother Nature, not the staff. Could provide more shade on beach and by pools but the sun was lovely and warm. Would come back to this resort.

Mar 31, 2026Nice friendly hotel
Lovely family stay at a nice hotel which needs a little bit of updating. We enjoyed our stay although it didn’t start well when the twin room we had booked was a double which couldn’t be changed as the hotel was fully booked. The staff were friendly, drinks well made and a good variety of food. Evening entertainment would have been a nice addition as the lobby bar lacked atmosphere.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!!
We just returned from an unforgettable family vacation at Óleo Cancún Playa, and we can’t say enough about how amazing our experience was—it was truly a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10-star!) experience! Traveling with two boys who have celiac disease can be stressful, but from the moment we arrived, the team went above and beyond to make sure they were not only safe—but truly spoiled with unlimited delicious dining options. It gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our time together. The resort itself is stunning—perfect location, a beautiful beach, and everything you could possibly need. But what truly made this trip exceptional was the outstanding service. A huge thank you to Ham, Max, Yeseli, Francisco, Philippe, and Gerry—all of your attentiveness and personal care blew us away. You didn’t just meet our needs, you anticipated them. You took the time to get to know us, and it made our experience feel so special and personal. We also want to recognize the incredible leadership team: Julia, Jorge, Alexander (Hakka), Yobani (Almar), and a very special thank you to Chef Saul. Your efforts to ensure the entire resort staff was aware of our boys’ dietary needs meant the world to us. Because of you, our kids could safely enjoy the amazing cuisine just like everyone else—and that is something we will never forget. This wasn’t just a vacation—it was a truly caring and inclusive experience. We are beyond grateful and can’t wait to come back to Óleo Cancún Playa!

March Beach Chill
Good location being at the south end of the isthmus so transfer to & from airport was very quick. Can’t fault the waiters, bar staff and cooks who were all very attentive and quick to assist. The hotel was stated as boutique 4 star however was probably a bit under this. The food in Azul was a bit same old with regards breakfast fruit and salad. It would have been good to see some changes through the week. However that said; the fruit and salad were fresh. Almar restaurant was disappointing with the only positive being the view. Beach was great with added waiter service. However…why do people stick their towels on loungers at 0700 when it is clearly stated not allowed but never enforced?! I observed instances where loungers were “reserved” all day with the towels being collected at 6pm with no-one using them. So in short - you fully get what you pay for with Oleo. It does the job but if you want to pay more for 4/5 star then there are other options.

March 2026 - Couples Trip Review
My boyfriend and I stayed at this resort for 7 days and had an incredible experience from start to finish. One of the things we loved most was the size of the resort, it’s smaller (around 150 rooms), which gave it a much more personal and welcoming feel. By the end of the trip, we had gotten to know both the staff and other guests, which made the experience even more special. The food exceeded our expectations every single day. There were three different options of places to eat for dinner each night, so we always had variety and never got bored. On top of that, there was a coffee shop and a snack bar open most of the day, both offering delicious options whenever we wanted something quick or casual. The service was truly outstanding, every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We genuinely have no complaints in that area. We stayed in the Junior Sunset Suite so it looked out to the other side of the resort, beautiful view with a balcony, highly recommend. Our room was clean, comfortable, and recently renovated, which made a big difference. It felt modern and well-maintained, and housekeeping did a great job throughout our stay. If anyone has any concerns about the food or wants more detailed information before booking, I highly recommend downloading the Oleo Playa app. It offers much more up-to-date and detailed information than the website, including menus and resort details, which we found really helpful. Overall, this resort struck the perfect balance between relaxation and a welcoming, social atmosphere. We would absolutely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a more intimate, high-quality resort experience.
