Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We loved it. The room was spotless and cleaned and stocked daily. The food and drinks were outstanding - we didn’t have a bad meal. The staff are all so friendly and willing to go above and beyond. We loved the daily pop-up events the resort had, they really catered to all ages. We can’t wait to go back again.
Everything - our rooms, the food, the vibe - was fantastic! The staff deserve an extra call out though because everyone we talked with or had questions for were so very kind and helpful. Thank you so much!
Great room. So much room in the Penthouse..
The hot tub however, had brownish water come out no matter how long I let it run. Other than that it was an amazing hotel and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and polite.

Very clean rooms. Great staff. Good food..beter than most resorts. Lots to do
We had a great stay at The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the entire resort was very clean and well maintained. The lush landscaping gives the property a beautiful tropical feel.
One of the highlights was the nightly entertainment and food stations in the plaza, which created a fun atmosphere and offered a nice taste of Mexican culture.
A couple of minor downsides were the wait times for the à la carte restaurants during busy hours and the lack of a disco or late-night spot for younger guests who might want more nightlife. The sargassum (though uncontrollable) on the beach was disappointing as well.
Overall, a wonderful resort with great service and a relaxing, cultural vibe.
Everything was excellent! The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Food was superb, it really was amazing. Staff was the epitome of outstanding customer service.
