After spending a horrific night at Cabañas Ixchel (thanks to a very loud “pre” wedding party next door, at Rosa del Viento) just short walk north we discovered Casa de las Olas. At Casa de las Olas we were warmly greeted by Sam the manager on duty who was positively delightful. She offered us one of the two remaining rooms... More

Come as a guest and leave as a friend – is the message on the promotional material of this 5 bedroom hotel and it couldn’t be more true. Located at the end of the strip past Be Tulum, it's the last accommodation before you hit the nature reserve, consequently you're away from the crowds and it feels like a little... More

My wife and I stayed stayed at Olas for 8 nights in April 2013 in an Ocean Front Balcony Suite. I From our perspective, 3 specific things make Olas so unique from any other holiday property: 1. Staff: Jimmy (owner), Sam, Mari, Bear and Antonio are not only wonderful hosts but have a great deal of passion for what they... More

Stayed here after seeing a great review on Tablet. Didn't disappoint! At first was really turned off by no water pressure. At the end of my trip I didn't care. Jimmy was extremely gracious and helpful with anything and everything. Even drew us a map of the best places to eat and go and his suggestions never led us astray.... More

Everything you read on here about the seclusion, the privacy, and the beauty of the beach and the property is dead on. This is a quiet, gorgeous place to relax and unplug. The rooms are simple but clean and the... More

We just returned from a perfect week at Casa de las Olas! I thoroughly did my homework on all the other accommodations in Tulum, plus read every review...I'm convinced we couldn't have made a better choice. The beauty of the beach is breathtaking, but the beautiful people we met are what made our trip most memorable. Jimmy, Bear, Marie &... More

If you read everyone's reviews they all say how wonderful it is so when you stay and find how true it all is there is very little you can say as every adjective has been used to describe how lovely this villa is and how perfect a location it is in. Paradise is a word frequently used and it was... More

Somewhere in a piece of Casa de las Olas' information materials is a phrase: "Arrive as guests, depart as friends". I remember thinking when I read that - oh, that's quite lovely. But now having come home from our incredible stay with Jimmy and the family at Casa de las Olas, it's the only thing fitting to say in my... More
