The Fives Oceanfront

Puerto Morelos, Mexico

Star rating

The hotel

Claiming a beachfront spot in front of Puerto Morelos Reef National Park, The Fives Oceanfront sits proudly on Caribbean sands, just a few minutes from Playa del Carmen. And here it’s all about laid back sunshine. You can rest and recharge whilst soaking up the rays at the heavenly adult-only rooftop infinity pool. Or if you are looking for chilled beach vibes head to RoMarley, the private beach house for a Sunday brunch washed down with plenty of Mexican mixology. Downtown Playa del Carmen is only a 20-minute drive away, just in case you fancy stretching those legs and exploring the local buzz of Fifth Avenue – a popular hotspot for shoppers and those looking for vibrant night life.

The hotel is in a good location in relation to the town square. Our room was comfortable, and had a mini fridge. Definitely inquire if they have any events scheduled (wedding, etc) There was a wedding one day while we were there, and they took over pretty much the entire hotel. We went for a walk and could barely get in or out due to wedding pics taking up the entire entrance. They then moved to the lobby/ bar area, and took that over for a number of hours, before taking over the beach area for the actual wedding. They don't have the room or staff for these events. You couldn't even get a drink quicker than 10-15 minutes while they took over the front/ bar area! The staff are mostly quite friendly. The restaurants are severely understaffed. We had a wait for everything, at every meal...wait to be acknowledged , wait to order drink, to order food. Food definitely was slow to arrive. The biggest disappointment of this place is the food. I've been visiting Mexico since 1990, and stayed at numerous resorts. I have lived in Puerto Morelos for 8 years, so I know the level/ quality of food in the area. This is by far the worst food I've experienced. No light or casual options other than an afternoon burger with hours old fries. Everything is drenched in sauces, cream, etc. We went AI, but saw the prices listed on the menu if you weren't AI. The prices were higher for an entree than an entire meal at most excellent restaurants in town. If you are looking for "just a room", you may like it. I would recommend walking to town for meals. So many delightful places! I wouldn't recommend AI for anyone as I felt it was waste of money for what they offer. We had to wander off-site to find additional food since it was so poor at the restaurants. A huge letdown for my birthday week. Read less

Amazing resort! Clean, quiet but fun. Super friendly team members with great customer service focus. Best food we have ever had at a resort AI! Loved it all! Special shout out to Eli, Hair, Vader and the beach service guys. We also truly appreciated the team who kept the beach clean.

We stayed at The Fives Oceanfront for four nights. We were looking for somewhere close to Puerto Morelos. We spent the days walking in town enjoying local foods and drink and shopping. The room was nice and spacious. We just were not real happy with the restaurants. We would probably stay again but not as all inclusive.

Awesome stay The Fives. If your main interests are beach, pool, food, and you don't need big resort activities this is an awesome place to go. It is not far from Cancun airport and is in the charming town of Puerto Morelos. We enjoyed walking to town to get some souvenir gifts and ice cream and seeing the locals. The food was all delicious and excellent service! It is on a great beach and the 2 pools are great. It was not crowded at all in May and easy to get chairs by beach and pool always. Highly recommend!
