The hotel

Using minimalism to maximum effect, the sculptural ice-white architecture and matching monochrome interiors of Óleo Cancún Playa give it a calm chicness that’s a far cry from the buzz and colour of your setting — right at the start of the famously vibrant Cancún Hotel Zone. The dedication to ‘white’ is only really interrupted by flashes of blue — homage to the sea and surf just steps from the hotel. Overlooking the beach, the infinity pool adds a touch more turquoise, with the pool bar’s tropical-inspired cocktails adding their own shots of colour. The styling may be minimalist, but the features aren’t. You’ve got spa treatments, complimentary WiFi, an art workshop, and restaurant menus that take you from Japan to Mexico and Peru, with stops on the way for comfort food, international favourites, and bakery treats served up with Starbucks™ coffee.

Excellent food and top notch service. Special thanks to William for his attentive service. Well stocked salad bar, fish of the day, and beef were great. Mexican beef tends to be a bit heavy on salt and one notch too well done but t I asked for it with no salt and rare and came out just the way I like it

Second time here and I will continue to come back! Every single staff member was great! But I must point out some of the individuals who stuck out during my stay here. Ofelia, Carmen, Jesus, and Wensislao are chefs at the Azul restaurant ! Everyday I’d look forward to visiting Ofelia and her team because she made sure she took care of all mine and my family’s needs and wants throughout our week here. I felt super comfortable and safe when making requests. She felt like family by the end. Baldemar is also one of the MOST attentive waiters, it’s like he can read your mind when you might need something. Enrique poolside will make you DELICIOUS drinks that will have you trying things you’d never imagine. Thank you Oleo Team -Amy A Read less
