Our favourite rooms
Oceanview Balcony Suites suit guests craving modern style; they’re bright and airy with sleek contemporary bathrooms. For small groups or families, the Oceanfront Master Suite provides plenty of space to spread out and relax, with two king-size beds, open-plan living areas and a large balcony with a hammock.
Packing tips
Bring your binoculars to make the most of your boat tour through neighbouring Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve.
Also
Casa de las Olas may not be suited to guests with mobility issues, due to some uneven terrain. All water used in the showers is captured from natural, underground streams and gravity-fed from the roof, so shower pressure may not be particularly forceful.
Children
Although this is more of a quiet, grown-up beach spot, little Smiths aged five and over are welcome; cots, outdoor toys, board games, bicycles and boogie boards can all be provided on request.
Eco‐friendly
In the extreme: it’s the only Platinum LEED-reviewed property in Mexico; all cleaning and bathroom products are organic and biodegradable; all food is locally sourced – and hand-picked – from family farms. The hotel’s design allows it to capture underground water sources, it has multiple rain-collection systems and is powered completely by a state-of-the-art solar-panel system. Plus, the hotel's architecture was designed to be cooled by the natural Caribbean breezes, keeping you chilled out without the need to install air-conditioning.
