The "we didn't spend a fortune" flex. Oleo is the one where you pay about half what the gold-tier resorts cost, come home tan, and casually drop "boutique" into conversation for the next six months. 166 rooms. No wristband apartheid. Charlotte gets to unleash her Spanish on actually-smiling staff. Michael gets a drink delivered to his lounger so he can pretend to read a book. Caveat: one reviewer ranted about flies in the restaurant β€” we're not going to pretend that's not a thing, but it appears to be a "bad day at Azul" thing, not a regime.

"Needs improvement"
"In my room we ran out of toilet roll. I asked 4 times and no toilet roll was offered. Lastly I saw flies in restaurant which is a hygiene risk."

"Disappointment, won't return"
"We were told we could not use certain beach chairs or sit in specific areas because we didn't have wristbands. Being treated like third-class guests."

"Average at best"
"There is nowhere to enjoy a drink outside. I have never experienced a hotel where there is literally nowhere to sit outside in the evening."

"Clean hotel with caveats"
"We were in the Inspira Suites with the premium red bracelets β€” didn't get any of the extra perks Oleo advertised. Seemed like false advertising."
