The first two days was a nice experience, everyone was so welcoming, the attention and the smiles were unique. Once that third day hit it was like you no longer exist it felt kind of weird specially for us since it was our first family vacation and we choose The Fives, because it came highly recommended. I mean you can have it all right! We were given coupons by our concierge Antonio that we could use with any of the excursions we choose and this information was confirmed by Luis the person that took our information for the excursion we chose.We were given a price and were told that we could use the coupons and also an additional discount for booking through Expedia. Upon checking out none of the coupons qualified for the additional discount promised for booking through Expedia. I was told that the particular excursion we chose the coupon did not apply. This was very disappointing and more because we didn’t even get a sorry or an apology for the misunderstanding. This hotel needs more training on how to approach situations like this, it was really sad that we had to leave with such disappointment from a supposed Five start hotel.

The Fives sincerely exceeded my expectations and those of my family. Traveling with a family of 6 (4 teenage boys) makes for some challenging room options. The suite we got at The Fives was perfect. One entry way for everyone, but separate rooms for my wife & I and the boys. Just the right amount of privacy without needing to get fully separated rooms. The whole suite was clean and spacious, with multiple balconies and a killer view of one of the pools. The staff was probably the star of the show. Everyone, and I mean, every single person's path we crossed was polite, attentive and genuinely seemed to care about our well-being. I can only surmise this is a positive work environment. It certainly reflected in how they treated the guests from my experience. Honestly, I felt the need to sing The Fives' praises because we had an outstanding experience. I typically walk away from a trip reflecting on what to do different for next time. I wouldn't change a thing, and this hotel is the reason!

Stayed in building 8 and had short walk to nearby restaurant, Lizzards, and was less than 3 minute walk to plaza where the shops, spa, and other dining options were. Walk to beach was longer, probably 7-8 minutes, so getting a shuttle ride was best. Shuttles were supposed to be on a 10 minute rotation but a lot of times the carts were full and we ended up having to walk anyways. Food options were good but it is important to be an epic/vip member to be able to make reservations. If you don’t make reservations you should arrive at the restaurant you want to eat at by 5:30 pm. Showing up between 6-8 would result in hour plus wait times. Overall, the resort was beautiful, staff were wonderful and helpful, beach was gorgeous. We had a wonderful time and would do it again.

This trip was with my teenager kids and we saved to make this happen in a nice hotel as this one, the only thing that was a disappointment was the restaurants, every restaurant we went to had a 2-3 hour wait, they do not do reservations so if we wanted to eat there we had to give our name for the waitlist, get a pager and had to wait 2-3 hrs within the area. We could not go anywhere else as the pager would only work close to the restaurant. My Kids and I love food and we were looking forward to trying all of the restaurants as they were highly recommended but the wait time to eat there was ridiculous, a few people were mad at the host and walked away. I would not expect to stay in such high quality and expensive hotel and have this ridiculous issue. We have stayed in 4 other hotels in Cancun before and never had this issue w/restaurants.

The hotel reviews and photos are misleading, as we discovered after booking a week in a penthouse suite. Here is an honest assessment: Pros: The property hosts monkeys and other wildlife, features multiple pools, and boasts a pleasant beach. Cons: The rooms are outdated with many broken or chipped items, dirty grout and mildew in the bathrooms, and uncomfortable beds. Despite having a full kitchen, there were no cooking or eating utensils provided. The buffet food was constantly plagued by flies and gnats. A group of 10 of us fell ill with stomach problems. The alcohol was watered down, and the incessant pressure to buy time shares was off-putting. Overall, considering the price, it's advisable to seek accommodation elsewhere that places a higher emphasis on cleanliness and customer service. This hotel warrants a rating of 3 to 3.5.

Giving the resort a 5 because of its rating based on being a 4.5 star hotel! The food choices were AWESOME! There were maybe a few items I didn’t LOVE, but overall I loved most of the food. There’s tons of food options (they make fresh tacos and pizza right in front of you by the pool as well) and the resturaunts and the service and staff are excellent which made our stay the best and the drinks were good as well! What influences my rating most is how much there is to do! The hotel always has events and fun things planned so you never get bored (silent disco, pool foam parties, big fiesta brunches, casino nights etc) and it’s super lively day and night and family friendly. We went as a childless young couple and still had an amazing time. The negatives: the beach isn’t the BEST beach, they did an amazing job cleaning up the seaweed during seaweed season and the water was gorgeous, but it’s not the best beach in my opinion but the infinity pool overlooking it made up for that. The resturaunts sometimes had long wait times but at an all inclusive, makes sense. Overall, we will be returning to the fives!
