This was our first time staying at a FIVES resort, and it ended up being a great experience! We were a group of five and booked two rooms last minute at a really good price.||It was pouring rain when we arrived, but the staff was right there helping us with our bags, which was super appreciated. Sahari was excellent with assisting us with transportation to and from the airport before we arrived. We had arranged airport transfers ahead of time, and the price was surprisingly good. When we got to the hotel, they welcomed us with a drink and had us sit down while they handled check-in from the couch, no standing at the counter, which was a nice touch.||We went with the all-inclusive package that came with a set menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food was excellent, way better than I expected. I usually go for places with buffets, but the set menu was a nice change. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, just know the dessert options were a bit limited.||The staff was awesome, especially Yoe, she made us feel welcome every single day. The beach was lovely, and props to the team working hard to manage the seaweed. We also really enjoyed the rooftop pool, it was such a chill spot, and the bartenders, both by the beach and on the rooftop, were great, especially the one at the outside bar—I wish I remembered his name!||We took a short $5 USD taxi ride to Puerto Morelos, which is a small town with plenty of restaurants and bars. We hung out at one of the restaurants where a live band was playing. The town seemed pretty quiet the night we were there.||A couple of small things could be improved: both rooms could’ve used better airflow, no bathroom fans and the AC in mine was pretty loud. One of our rooms had a bit of water damage in the bathroom ceiling and some unfinished patchwork on the wall. Also, the elevator is tiny and kind of stuffy.||That said, I’d absolutely recommend this place, especially if you’re looking to relax at a smaller resort. If you’re looking for a party scene, I’ve heard FIVES Beach has more of that vibe.||Food: 10/10|Room: 7/10|Service: 9/10|Beverage Selection: 9/10
