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.

“10/10 Service, location, pool, beach, amazing food and drinks!”

Sep 08, 2025michelledawreynolds

This boutique hotel is incredible, so peaceful and right off the beach. The service is incredible Lucas at the pool bar will always make sure you have whatever you need, bartenders Kevin, Omar, Eduardo and Israel always make the best cocktails with a perfect presentation. Alex the ambassador made every day special and took care of anything we neeeded. Highly recommend for high end liquor with catch of the day by the pool! We cant wait to go back beginning of March!

“AMAZING 1 week stay at the Beachfront Fives”

Aug 29, 2025Brian D

My wife and I stayed here for a week. OMG!!! We absolutely loved this property and everything about it. We loved that it is a small property and it's adults only. We loved the calmness and quietness of the property. No kids running around, screaming and crying. Haha. Every single staff member was incredibly friendly, great to talk to, they remembered our names or came up to us to get to know us. The food and restuarant is top notch!! Everything is a la carte so you order off a menu. But you can get whatever you want and however much you want. The food at BeachFront is amazing!! Cleaning service came to our room twice a day to clean. Once in the later morning and again in the evening to prepare our bed and room to go to bed. That was awesome. The rooms are very comfortable, the bed was very comfy and we slept great. One huge advantage about the property is you get to enjoy the Fives family property next door. This property we went to for other restuarants and all the night time entertainment activities. Do the beach BBQ. The meat station was so good. So many meats to choose from and cooked to perfection. The only complaint about the Beachfront Hotel was there is no good beach right in front. It's all rock at the shore. You have to walk up to the other hotel and they have a small area there. However, many locals come to swim so they kind of take it over. Also, the sargaso is really bad still. We rented a car and went to 5ta Avenida in Playa del Carmen, North Beach at Isla Mujeres (no sargaso at all), Chichen Itza and Cenote Azul (the water was amazing and refreshing). So many fun things to do and see. Had no issues driving around everywhere, no issues being a gringo and getting pulled over by local police. Our stay at this hotel was absolutely AMAZING!! We are already planning our trip to come back.

“Fun surprise on my vacation”
