Pack your shades and your best beach vibes because The Beachfront by The Fives in Mexico is calling – and trust us, you won’t want to leave it on read. This adults-only, ocean-kissing escape on Riviera Maya’s Xcalacoco Beach is where laid-back luxury meets barefoot elegance. Think boutique cool with a side of Caribbean heat. Picture this: you, lounging in a swanky suite with uninterrupted sea views, a private plunge pool, and a cocktail in hand. The rooms are more ‘Instagram goals’ than ‘standard hotel’. Even the mini-bar gets the VIP treatment – fully stocked and ready to roll. Dining here isn’t just eating; it’s a flavour-packed adventure. Expect fresh-off-the-boat seafood, sizzling local specialties, and cocktails so good they deserve their own passport. The beachfront restaurant is perfect for candle-lit dinners, while the bar mixes magic into every mojito. Ready to relax? Hit the spa (located next door at The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences) for a massage that’ll melt your worries faster than the Mexican sun. Feeling adventurous? Dive into snorkelling, explore the nearby cenotes, or wander Playa del Carmen’s buzzing streets – just 10 minutes away.

What a holiday! The Beachfront was a fantastic hotel, mixing the exclusive feel with its fine dining A La Carte restaurant, bar and pool with a chilled relaxed vibe while access was available for the sister hotel via a short walk or golf buggy that had a mixture of restaurant and bars with a more lively atmosphere. The mix was great but it definitely felt better to be at the Beachfront where you could experience both sides. The team of Jazmine, Meilky and Miriam were also super attentive and always available for any questions or room service needs. Thanks for an unforgettable holiday! Read less
