The Beachfront by The Fives is a boutique property, positioned on a stunning stretch of powdery, white beach, north of Playa del Carmen. It’s an intimate, adult-only haven, of just 36 beautiful rooms and suites – most boasting ocean views, where the slow pace encourages total relaxation. The all-inclusive hotel features a superb on-site restaurant, and you benefit from the impressive facilities at the neighbouring property, Essence at the Fives Beach.
This charming property is situated directly on a quiet, private section of Xcalacoco Beach, famed for its calm, turquoise waters and soft, white sand. It’s surrounded by tropical vegetation and feels blissfully secluded, even though the popular city centre of Playa del Carmen is only about five miles away. Here, cafes, shops and taquerias sit alongside ancient Mayan ruins and cenotes. Be sure to stop by Cenote Azul (Blue Cenote), featuring several paradisiacal pools underground, each varying in depth. The well-known archaeological site of Tulum is around 44 miles from the hotel. Its ruins are well worth a visit, perched just above a beautiful beach, and you can find tasty tacos in the town centre. Cancun International Airport is approximately 33 miles away.
Spaced throughout the property, low-rise, whitewashed buildings, topped with thatched roofs overlook the established gardens, glistening pool or beach. They are beautifully decorated in a boho-chic style, dressed in teal soft furnishings, colourful rugs and bold pieces of artwork. Plus, the minibar is fully stocked as part of the all-inclusive plan. Beachfront rooms offer direct access to the beach, while swim-up suites boast a lovely pool for dipping with uninterrupted views of the Caribbean Sea.

Other facilities
The geometric shaped infinity pool is surrounded by swaying palm trees and comfy loungers. Poolside service remains unobtrusive, so you can enjoy the tranquillity. Steps away is the stunning beach, where you can laze on a lounger, set in your own space, away from the other beachgoers.
Stroll across the beach or jump on the complimentary shuttle to access a full-service spa and fitness centre, a tennis court, shops and entertainment at the neighbouring Essence at the Fives Beach. You can also partake in experiences such as yoga classes, breathwork and ice baths, macramé workshops, cooking lessons, pickleball, water polo, Zumba and much more.
Dining information
Although the hotel only offers one on-site restaurant, it’s sensational. Santa Sirena overlooks the beach, offering a rich and tantalising Mexican fusion menu, using locally sourced ingredients. Special dietary requirements are catered for with ease (even with off-menu dishes), plus you can enjoy beachside barbeques, Sunday brunch and six-course tasting menus. In the evening, head to the bar where mixologists tailor incredible cocktails to your preference. You might even be given an impromptu lesson on tequila and mescal, their origins, as well as a tasting. There are also food pop-ups throughout the week. Raw Bar operates four days a week, serving oysters, giant prawns, mussels, Yucatan octopus and more. Meanwhile, The Meat Shop serves prime-quality meats two days a week.
You can also visit Essence at the Fives Beach (located next door) for a great range of restaurants (and bars), cuisines ranging from Mediterranean, French, Italian and the Far East.
