Uncovering The Fives Hotels & Residences: Elevating Your Riviera Maya Getaway
A getaway to Mexico is always a YES in my book with the beautiful resorts and beaches, rich cultural history, delicious foods, and warm people. One of my favorite properties to stay when visiting Riviera Maya, Mexico is The Fives Hotels and Residences. Also known as The Fives, this chain has three properties in the Riviera Maya: The Fives Downtown Hotel & Residences Playa del Carmen; The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences in Playa del Carmen; and The Fives Oceanfront Puerto Morelos.
What makes a stay at a property at the The Fives' unique? The Fives Hotels and Residences are a group of exquisite, lifestyle hotels located within Playa del Carmen and Puerto Morelos. In addition to providing a luxurious stay, these tropical havens featuring one to three bedroom residence-style suites also offer genuine local experiences that incorporate flavors, scents, music, textures, and visual art.

Sun-seeking travelers find themselves drawn to Playa del Carmen by its beautiful coastline and colorful reefs, but what really makes this Riviera Maya resort stand out is how locals live there. Steps from the sea, Fifth Avenue's shops and taco stalls form a walkable core, and the area's nightlife offers family-friendly performances and dining options. Adventure parks and underwater exploration are only two of the things to do in Playa del Carmen. In addition, this is an excellent starting point for exploring freshwater cenotes, wildlife reserves, and historical sites due to its ideal midcoastal location.
One my favorites activities to do in the Playa del Carmen area is a walking food tour - this is great way to explore the culinary cuisines of a local and try dishes some yummy dishes. Check out my food tour experience with Eating with Carmen.
