It’s hard to find bad food at The Fives Beach Hotel. Every restaurant we ate at was serving delicious, well prepared food. After the food the hotel also offers tons of activities for kids and adults. My wife and I attended a salsa class on their pier. The salsa class with Angel was fantastic and a lot of fun. Angel was a good teacher, patient and helpful. Anna Rosa and Jose Luis from the spa were amazing and provided high quality treatment. You really can’t go wrong by staying here. Whether you want delicious food, fun entertainment, or to relax at their spa The Fives has it all and you will not be disappointed!

This resort is wonderful. The staff is amazing! From Clare and Omar helping us plan and schedule stuff to Alexia and Kendy at the pool! The rooms are large with 3 bedrooms and penthouse our room was so fun to be in. We got to spend more quality time with our kiddos instead of them going to their room and us to ours. The food was mostly great, better than any other resort we have visited. Our servers remembered our coffee orders at breakfast! Miguel, Litzy, and Antonio were great waiters. And Daniel was a cocktail master! We can't wait to go back!

We fell in love with this place since day one! This place is not only beautiful and well kept the people you meet make you feel at home, Sebastian has been absolutely amazing, if you haven’t met someone ever in your life that “goes the extra mile” you have to meet him! We are eternally grateful he has made every stay a unique one! Omar and Claire have been the best ambassadors! All you hard work does not go unnoticed with us! As well as Cristian and Bernabe at our bali beds, you guys and the rest of the staff make us feel welcomed and safe! We will continue to come with total confidence that we will have a good time and be treated amazingly! Thanks for everything 🥰

We had a wonderful experience here. Food wa so delicious! But I want to give a shoutout to our waiter, Oscar, he was truly exceptional. We were a large group with kids, and he handled everything flawlessly. Every order was correct, and he went above and beyond by making balloon art for all of the children, which completely made their night. Oscar was so fun and engaging, and his kindness and attention really stood out. He definitely made our evening special. Thank you, Oscar!

This resort is great - it’s a big resort, with lots of beautiful, well taken care of grounds! Upon arrival, we were checked in quickly & our room was absolutely amazing! Gorgeous view of the jungle & a clean, spacious room. Our favourite restaurant was the La Brassarie, the French restaurant - with Natura being a very close second, we went there nearly every day for lunch! Camilo, from the entertainment team was amazing! He’s extremely helpful and very friendly! He goes above and beyond in his job, all the time & he always has a smile on his face. Nothing is too much for Camilo & our holiday wouldn’t be the same without him! Would definitely love to come back!
