The hotel

Unwind at The Fives Downtown Hotel & Residences, your stylish retreat in the heart of Playa Del Carmen. Just two blocks from the white sands of the beach, and a short hop from the fun of Fifth Avenue, this ideal location puts you close to the action, with plenty to enjoy in-house too. From morning pick-me-up's at Marley Coffee, to sampling one of over a hundred tequilas and Mezcals at El Tigre, or indulging in a treatment at the spa - this hotel has plenty to enjoy. The best bit? The rooftop, where you’ll find an infinity pool with panoramic views, as well as a restaurant and regular DJ performances.

Ernesto, Arturo and the team on the rooftop pool were really great! I enjoyed the food and the service and the view on the rooftop lookout out at the ocean is amazing. I would recommend getting a day pass here if you’re looking for somewhere chill to relax in the pool with an ocean view.
