The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences All Senses Inclusive
The Fives Beach Hotel is one of the larger upscale properties in the Playa del Carmen area, offering an “all senses inclusive” experience that goes beyond the standard all-inclusive model. It is a resort that tries to combine the convenience of everything-included pricing with the quality and variety you would expect from a boutique property.
Location and Setting
The Fives sits on a stretch of Caribbean beachfront just north of Playa del Carmen’s main town centre. The setting feels more resort than town — you are surrounded by manicured grounds, multiple pools, and direct beach access rather than the bustle of 5th Avenue. However, the town centre is accessible by a short taxi ride, so you are not isolated. The property is large enough to feel spacious without being overwhelming, and the grounds are well-maintained with tropical landscaping throughout.
Rooms and What Is Included
The rooms and suites here are generous in size, many featuring separate living areas and full kitchens — a reflection of the property’s condo-hotel format. Air conditioning, premium bedding, wifi, and daily housekeeping are standard. The all-inclusive package covers multiple restaurants (not just a single buffet), bars, pool areas, and a range of activities. The food quality is noticeably above average for an all-inclusive, with several à la carte dining options that would hold their own as standalone restaurants.
Who It Suits
This property works exceptionally well for families who want space and convenience — the suites with kitchens are a genuine advantage when travelling with children. Couples looking for a premium all-inclusive experience without the mega-resort atmosphere will also find it appealing. The resort caters to guests who want to be near Playa del Carmen but prefer to have a self-contained base with everything on site. It is not the right choice for travellers who want to be in the thick of town.
Practical Details
Check-in is from 15:00, check-out by 12:00. Airport transfers can be arranged through the resort. The property has its own parking. Multiple pools, a spa, a fitness centre, and a kids’ club are available on site. The beach area is maintained and equipped with loungers and umbrellas. The resort is approximately 50 minutes from Cancún International Airport.
