OMZ - Olas de Matanzas — Hotel in Navidad

Matanzas is a great location. OMZ is a very very good hotel with excelent rooms that rival a 4 or even 5 star. The beds for example are top quality. Overall is deserves what all other comentaries are saying. However I have 3 negative points that are a serious drawback:||1) the "technical" building of the hotel dumps its waste water from laundry right into a small ditch that goes into a small river which ends in the ocean. There is no sewer system. It may be a common practice in Matanzas, maybe other hotels do the same, but it is nevertheless shocking for a developped country like Chile. Having this in mind the contribution of the hotel to sustainable tourism by generously offering you to change your towel only on request is a real joke.||2) the place almost shuts downs on Mondays. Their restaurant closes, and so does their horse riding service. It becomes dead quiet, which is great if you come to rest but if you hoped to experiment their food and outdoor activities, you'll have to come back another day.||3) Poor coffee. The rooms are pricey, even very expensive by latin american standard. For this price it is just not accepatable to be served nescafe at the breakfast table and no coffee option inside the room. The receptionist told us the "machine was under repair"....||||So overall a very beautiful, charming and confortable place, but with a few things to work on to make it...

We stayed here for a long weekend, paying about CLP 90,000 (USD 135) per night and it was totally worth it.||||We stayed in a room in the first floor (No. 2). Although I think they are all pretty much the same in terms of view, staying in the first floor was actually nice. ||||The view to the ocean is as spectacular as they could promise or you could imagine. Waking up with the sound of the waves certainly makes for a relaxing experience. ||||The hotel's restaurant is quite nice. Although they do not seem to have room service, you have the option of buying drinks or something to eat and bring it to your room (30 seconds walking).||||The staff is helpful and the hotel is flexible. For work I had to stayed past the check out time and they were kind enough as to allow me to do it. Further, the lent me mobile 4G device as I needed to connect to the internet and the wifi signal in the room is quite poor. Great job on their end. ||||I would definitively recommend this hotel, both to stay and...

OMZ is a very well run hotel. We stayed at Las Brisas which is a two bedroom cabin. It was perfect for our family of 4. The house is very cool looking. The inside needs a refresh but the beds are VERY comfortable. The hot water was plentiful and the kitchen has everything you need. They come and add wood to the hot tub to keep it very warm and makes it very simple. They also have great wood for the wood stove to keep us warm on the colder August nights we stayed.

The view off the deck is simply incredible. And all of the giant windows open to really connect you with the ocean. The sunsets are breathtaking. At night we had amazing stars to sit and watch listening to the ocean waves below.

Whenever we had something for the front desk, we would send a WhatsApp message and they would respond very quickly and take care of it. They are very attentive and it was much appreciated!

FYI- there is no WiFi in the cabin if you need that.

We could not have been happier with the stay....
