Get the most relaxation with the least amount of planning on your next vacation with all-inclusive packages in Cancun. Overall, I was very pleased for the price point.

Everybody that works there speaks English, so you do not need to know Spanish. One negative, the curtains still let in light. For casual, I would order the guacamole and chips at Barefoot Grill. I went to Mezes at Dreams and really enjoyed it. I particularly liked the flexibility of being able to go to Dreams for meals and drinks as well. People are so tired from being in the sun all day, many people do not even make it to dinner. There is one bar for night time, but it is not a bustling scene. There was a mix of large family and friend groups, as well as lots of couples. I went by myself for 4 days and it was the perfect getaway. The beach had white sand and the water was calm. Riviera Maya, Aperol spritz, Paloma’s, super man drink were a few of their specialties. The food was excellent at Bordeaux, Portofino, Oceana, and the drinks at the swim up bar were superb. There’s also an intensely global wine list that keeps everyone feeling just the right amount of happy, and vino pairs nicely with the powdery sand of the uncrowded beach outside the hotel.From the moment arrived, I felt special even though I was not a preferred guest. The kitchen at Merlot, the hotel’s restaurant, serves actual gourmet fare with a strong emphasis on international fusion cuisine. The hotel features a kids’ play area and lovely pool, but it’s the dining and drinking that really make this hotel stand out. Some units have their own pools and large terraces. With only 23 rooms, the atmosphere is intimate, and rates are way lower than you’ll find at all-inclusives in central Playa del Carmen. Instead, your money gets you actually excellent food and drinks, a calm atmosphere, personalized attention, and a great location 15 minutes north of busy Playa del Carmen. The smallest hotel on this list, La Reve Boutique Hotel isn’t the kind of place that’s packed with a dizzying list of amenities and tons of activity. The peaceful beach with hammocks at Le Reve Boutique Beachfront Hotel/Oyster All of this comes at rates that are far lower than other luxury properties in the region. Looking to spoil yourself? Try the Italian restaurant, Arezzo, which has a 150-bottle long wine list.

Butlers are available to help with those reservations, and you can expect everything from top-shelf cocktails to delicious fresh juices and smoothies at the various bars, cafes, and dining spots around the resort. Many of the restaurants at The Fives Azul Beach Resort have a refined look that matches the luxe appeal of the property, though you’ll need dinner reservations at some. Dining scores rave reviews - and we enjoyed all of our meals during our recent visit. This property also has five pools, a list of activities that includes archery and yoga, amazing children’s amenities, and a modern fitness center.

The pool and swim-up bar at The Fives Azul Beach Resort/OysterĬhic style a prime location outside of Playa del Carmen’s hectic city center and an excellent beach are just the beginning of what’s on offer at The Fives Azul Beach Resort.
