I had an incredible stay at The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel genuinely welcome — everyone was so friendly, kind, and attentive. The resort was consistently spotless. Housekeeping maintained our room beautifully every day, and the cleanliness across the entire property was truly impressive. The food was delicious with a wide variety of options to suit every taste. There was always something new and satisfying to enjoy at each meal. One of the things I appreciated most was the thoughtfully planned daily programs. They were engaging and diverse, offering opportunities to try new things and keep the day feeling fresh and fun — I was never bored for a second. The spa was a true highlight. The space itself was calming and beautifully designed, and the lovely scent in the air made it even more inviting. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The pools were crystal clear and clearly well cared for — swimming or just lounging by the water was an absolute pleasure. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this resort to anyone seeking a perfect blend of relaxation, cleanliness, great service, and enriching activities.

We had the most incredible wedding weekend here! We stayed here with family and friends for 3 nights before our wedding and had an absolute blast. The resort is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the people here were amazing! We also need to say a special thanks to our wedding planner Valeria and our wedding coordinator Mar. they were absolutely incredible and so accommodating through the whole process. We had the wedding of our dreams and wouldn’t change a thing about our weekend. Would highly recommend this resort and both the sky deck and terrace for wedding/reception venues. 5/5 stars!

We stayed at this resort to celebrate my sister’s high school graduation, and it was absolutely perfect! The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the whole property was beautiful and well-kept. We loved the amenities and how relaxing everything felt—exactly what we needed for a special family trip. This stay gave us memories we’ll never forget. Highly recommend for any celebration or getaway!

My family and I just went to this resort for my graduation present and it was absolutely incredible. As soon as we arrived there were refreshments waiting for us as we checked in with the well informed and efficient ambassadors. Our room was very neat and taken care of (although we did have some problems with our air conditioning). All of the waiters especially Alejandro and Santiago are such hard workers and took great care of us while always keeping a smile on their faces. Jose the amazing artist by the pool helped us create awesome souvenirs to remember such an amazing trip. The entertainment was great especially dancing and doing karaoke with Daniela! Overall I had a blast and will definitely be back!
Allison McCarthy
We booked the Fives for our destination wedding and it was perfect!! The wedding venues were beautiful and the entire wedding team was incredible throughout the whole process. Our friends and family had so many great things to say about the resort and everyone had a wonderful time. We loved the variety of restaurants and bars to choose from, and all of the huge pools helped it never feel too crowded. Such a beautiful resort immersed in nature and great staff!
