Very Nice Resort

This is a lovely, relaxed resort, with a few recommendations and improvements that could be made. Firstly, the resort is not adult only, but the rooftop pool and area is adult-only - this was a nice surprise as this wasn't reflected online or in any review my boyfriend and I read. The rooms at the resort are nice. My partner and I got upgraded to a partial Oceanview junior suite which was so kind of the resort! The bed and sheets were very comfy, but the bathroom, you could tell it needed a f [... read more]ew upgrades. For example, the shower door was malfunctioning, such that with every shower, water pooled on the bathroom floor a lot. But honestly, that was only a minor issue. The resort is overall very clean and lovely. The pools are gorgeous, and the beach is nice. Yes, there is seaweed, but honestly it's everywhere - down the entire beach, and in other areas of Mexico. The beach was not rocky, and white sand; very enjoyable. Activities and events were minimal, but fun. We enjoyed a bike tour through town, yoga, and bracelet making. They even had live bands on the beach Saturday and Sunday afternoons which was a fun vibe. No evening entertainment really; a few live music nights, but it's a pretty quiet resort in the evening. My boyfriend and I didn't mind though, as we weren't looking for such a party vibe. The food was hit and miss. The breakfast and lunch were really good - lots of variety. Fish tacos, chicken burger, fries, fruit were really good. The dinner options were limited. We were surprised to find out that 3/6 nights, only 2 restaurants out of 3 were open. The beach restaurant never served their dinner menu (at least to our knowledge) - which was disappointing. Thus, we were left with only the rooftop menu which was basically all fish, and the Italian menu. The fish/rooftop menu was disappointing. The beef fillet was good, but the sushi, octopus tostadas, and a few other items on that menu were not good. The Italian menu was pretty good; the mushroom risotto and pesto ravioli were delicious. Overall, wouldn't say food was amazing, but it was pretty good. The staff and service were overall excellent. Everyone was very kind, and willing to help. Thank you to the amazing staff!

Really great!

This spot was really great... some things to keep in mind: - Like almost everywhere else, we needed to go out at 7am to reserve beach loungers, otherwise, they would be all taken up for the dat - Since there is no buffet and everything is a la carte, you need to assume you'll be sitting in a restaurant for about 1hr-2hrs every meal, service isn't particularly fast - Breakfast and Lunch are great !!! (like on par with western restaurants) dinner lacks slightly. Keep that in mind... - Room s [... read more]ervice is $5 USD (delivery fee) but if you are on the all-inclusive package, that's all you pay, the food is included! - Only about 30 min drive from cancun airport (if you make no stops) - there are definitely kids at the resort, but isn't overly young kids friendly in the sense that there isn't much for kids to do (in my opinion) since there are only two small pools, and the rooftop one is adults only Overall, you are paying more for a boutique experience, but do keep all these points in mind...aside from those points, it was fantastic! 4.5 overall from me!

Wonderful stay!

The Fives Oceanfront was exactly what we needed for our five day getaway: a super relaxing beachfront place located in a lovely town. The staff were attentive and very professional and the meals were made-to-order, high quality and tasty. Pools quite cold for my liking. Though the weather wasn’t always great at the time of our visit, which can’t be helped, it was a memorable stay!

Relaxing Resort

If you are looking for a quiet relaxing resort with excellent fine dining then this is the resort for you. We had the one bedroom suite with a perfect ocean view with 2 (yes two!) private balconies. The perfect setting for enjoying quality time with my husband. The restaurants provided fabulous food, however the one was only open once during our stay. We did miss our buffet however, you could always find food when you were hungry. The staff were very pleasant and tried their best to accommo [... read more]date you. Very clean resort and their beach was fantastic as they were able to remove seaweed. Other than not being picked up by our included transfers it was a great holiday. Love Mexico!
