Kimpton Mas Olas Resort and Spa, an IHG Hotel

I recently retuned from a few days at Kimpton Mas Olas Resort and Spa and am dreaming about when I can return. I absolutely loved my stay there! From the moment I arrived, I was swept up into ultimate bliss. I was greeted with a delicious Passion Fruit drink and the wonderful staff made me feel instantly at home. The property is quite expansive and absolutely gorgeous. Every area is more beautiful than the next. Each has it's own personality and is maintained meticulously. So inviting! They also have several beautiful pool options, a gorgeous spa and a great gym with lots of equipment including pilates reformers, Peloton bike, treadmills and weights. When I got to my room I almost felt as if I wouldn't want to leave. The contemporary decor reflects the calm vibe of Mas Olas. The room is spotless and appointed beautifully. The designers thought of everything. They even have steamers in the bathrooms! This review would not be complete if I did not mention the food. Each of the restaurants features its own menu and the food is absolutely fabulous! Chef Sandro took such special care of me and my family and I can't say enough about the cuisine and the presentation for every meal I had. Oh, and in the morning when you wake up there is a fabulous eye opener bag hanging on your door which contains fruit, a muffin and special water! Words cannot do this property justice. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces make you feel so relaxed and pampered. I can't wait to go back!!!

My wife and I came here to celebrate our honeymoon. What a magical place! We stayed in one of the villas right on the beach. We had our own plunge pool and direct access to the beach. We took walks on the beach, which was nearly deserted, every morning. We did yoga every morning, which was free of charge. Service was very attentive. Staff members were very knowledgeable and friendly. They went out of their way to meet our every need. We ventured out one day to Todos Santos, but were disappointed with the food elsewhere and ended up just staying at the resort the entire time. We felt no need to go anywhere else. We ate at all three restaurants and were very impressed with the quality and variety of dishes. Sandro, the head chef, gave us a tour of his garden, where he grows much of the produce used in the restaurants. On many of our visits to the restaurants, they prepared special dishes just for us. We are sad to be leaving, but plan to return in January or February during whale watching season. This place is a true gem, perhaps the nicest stay I’ve ever had anywhere. Highly recommend.

We had an incredible stay at Mas Olas. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, the staff is incredibly polite and responsive, Sandro, the executive chef, is amazing, both as an individual and a chef. Pictures do not do this place justice. 10/10 stay, will definitely be coming back.

The resort is one of a kind in Baja for its incredible design, beauty, and commitment to sustainability. Every detail is conscious and intentional. This results is a magical vacation. The quality of the food and the organic gardens that feed the restaurants create a perfect dining experience. At Botanica restaurant you can sit in the garden and enjoy some of the best Italian Mediterranean food I have ever had. At Kahal they have designed an oceanfront restaurant that mimics the colors of the sunset and creates a one of a kind severance. The food is over the top in terms of technique, flavor and freshness. Centro is the restaurant you go to each day for breakfast or poolside snacks and lunch. The taco presentation was on point as well as delicious. Net net this is THE place to pamper yourself, unwind and commune with the waves and nature. Shangrila for the discerning traveler.

Serene and relaxing. Elegant and luxurious without being pretentious. Attentive staff, great rooms with plunge pools and great beachfront. Spa and workout rooms added to the experience. Multiple pools and beautiful grounds. I’ve been multiple times and will be back!

After a 70 minute drive from SJD airport we turn onto a bumpy sand road. We know immediately we are headed somewhere out of the way and special. After another 7 minutes we arrive at Mas Olas property. We were warmly greeted at the entry and given a chilled fresh pineapple juice. We are guided to our room walking thru amazing vast landscaped grounds of cacti, vegetables, flowers, ground covers, brilliant bougainvilleas and palms. The only sounds are of the ocean waves crashing, birds singing and palms rustling. The owner's striking attention to detail is everywhere. Calmness and beauty surrounds us and we start to breathe deep and smile. Nature is so respected! Our room is an Ocean View Penthouse Suite with large Plunge Pool. The view of the endless empty beach and huge mountains behind is stunning. The room decor is chic. We may not wish to leave this room. However the property has much to see and explore so we enjoy walking the gardens, the expansive beach, and all 4 pools - each with its own energy. The food offerings at Centro and Kahla are fabulous! We enjoyed lunches at Centro where the fish tacos, guacamole-pico de gallo with chips and ceviches are top notch. Dinner at Kahal is an experience as this restaurant is stunning in its design and also has full sunset views right over the ocean. But most important is the quality of the food. Head Chef Sandro Falbo is passionate about his creations. Every meal was the freshest - using ingredients from the garden and sea and presented with flair. What brings all these fantastic elements together is the staff which is professional and warm. We felt like family the very first day and made to know they were there to take very special care of us. Special thank you to the GM Armando who answered many questions before arriving, greeted us at arrival and checked on us daily. Sandro the chef is outstanding in his creations and so easy to talk to, Daniela at Centro made margaritas to our liking and quickly addressed some requests. Centro staff - Galvin, Michael, Eric, William, Tony and Jonathan took good care of us each day by the pool. A special thank you to the housekeeping and gardening staff. We have been to many high end places in the Cabo area since our first stay many years ago and and Mas Olas is as good as it gets. If you wish a luxury resort that is peaceful, beyond beautiful, spacious, with great service and excellent food go now. The drive from the airport is well worth it. We can not wait to return!

Great visit. Truly unique property. The rooms were very comfortable and well-appointed. Loved the pool on my patio overlooking the ocean. I’ve never seen anything like the gardens and vegetation on the property —-both spectacular. And quite peaceful. Entering the property was like an escape from the rest of the world. The highlight was dinner at Kahal. The food was exquisite and we had a great conversation with Chef Sandro — what a great and interesting guy! Well done all around.

My fiance and I stayed at Mas Olas for a few nights while in baja this spring and we were truly blown away!! It's a must visit! THE EXPERIENCE: Pulling up to the property feels like a unique experience in itself as you have to travel a few minutes down a bumpy & unassuming dirt road before you reach the hotel, but as soon as you enter through the main doors you're instantly transported to what feels like a desert oasis. The vibes were truly magical & it really felt like we had the opportunity to craft our stay to be exactly what we wanted because Mas Olas has so much to offer. Our time spent in the villa (which i'll talk more about below) was so relaxing and romantic, and we really enjoyed the total privacy. In our more adventurous moments we absolutely loved hanging out at the beachfront pool (STUNNING!) and its adjacent restaurant, Kahal (drooling just thinking about the sunday seafood brunch). Amazing food & delicious drinks & a really fun mix of people to mingle with! And our stay wouldn't have been complete without a trip to the spa to fully unwind -- absolutely incredible in every sense. The main spa building itself is beautiful, the apothecary was unreal (you can actually go the garden and pick out your own fresh herbs to infuse into oils!!!!! never experienced this before - so so special!), and I have to give a special shoutout to the himalayan salt sauna. 10/10 spa experience. Overall, we loved every minute of our stay since it offered something unique. THE PROPERTY: The grounds of this hotel deserve their own blurb haha. It was unlike any other luxury hotel property I've been to in that every inch of the place has been so carefully given a purpose. We were lucky enough to chat with one of the owners, Bill, who also happened to be the mastermind behind the landscaping and he told us some of the coolest things I've ever heard. First, the hotel is home to the largest botanical garden of native plants in baja - walking through it is amazing!!! Second, while the hotel was being built, Bill & his team tagged every SINGLE plant that needed to be excavated for construction, planted them elsewhere, and once construction was complete replanted them in the exact same spots. Hearing that just really blew my mind because it showed how thoughtful and intentional every detail of creating Mas Olas is. There's obviously a huge emphasis on embracing the natural beauty of wonder of baja, and also massive value placed on sustainability, which is awesome. And that reminds me - there's a desalinization plant on the property that filters all of the water so you can drink straight out of the sink if you need to. Brilliant. THE VILLA: We decided to stay in one of the oceanfront villas and it was the nicest hotel room I've stayed in anywhere in the western hemisphere. It's so spacious inside, the outdoor shower is gorgeous, and our private plunge pool was epic. But perhaps my FAVORITE thing is that the patio doors open all the way, so we slept each night w

This trip was one of healing and quiet elegance for us. The property is stunning and everything perfect for a couples get away. The service impeccable and Galvan made us the most fabulous drinks and gave us a special cocktail making class with mezecal. The food the service everything perfect. The room and beds best I have ever been in. Dont hesitate to stay here.
