Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancun

My husband and I just got back yesterday from our trip to Cancun for his Birthday and we absolutely had a blast! Live Aqua is a beautiful resort and you can definitely tell the staff take pride in making you feel comfortable. For reference, we are 28-29 years of age and there was the swim-up bar that had the party atmosphere we were wanting but they also had the main infinity pool we could go to for a more relaxing vibe. The beach and water were incredibly beautiful and the resort worked hard to keep it that way. Our room was gorgeous, we ended up just paying for the garden view since we didn't anticipate being in there too much but they upgraded us to a partial ocean view which was nice. The food was fantastic and my favorite restaurant was the Thai one in the Hidden Gardens. I could not get over the ambiance and the atmosphere is gave off - gorgeous! :) I would highly recommend this resort and I can see why people continue to return.

The hotel is beautiful. The beach was clean and amazing. They had 7 perfect pools. It was a dream to stay there. They had several different restaurant choices. We made it to all of them. They are all fancier then restaurants that I normally visit, so I wasn't used to such high end food. For example: smaller portions, several courses, focus on the look of the food presented, and exotic ingredients. Because of this I enjoyed some restaurants more then others. The good news is since it is all inclusive you can go to a different restaurant or order something else and it doesn't cost you anything more. Everywhere you go at the resort someone is asking you for your drink order. I am not a heavy drinker, but I did drink a lot more on vacation then I usually do since it was so easy to do. The staff was amazing and very friendly. Nobody was ever playing on their cell phones not paying attention. They were working harder then any where I have seen. The 24 hour room service was a life safer as several excursions we went on while in Cancun got us back to the hotel late, or leaving early so having breakfast delivered to the room early or dinner late was so nice. The fact that is an adults only hotel was great as well. No kids running around the resort or splashing in the pools. The concierge was great and there are several people in the hotel to help you book attractions nearby. My favorite part of the trip/hotel was watching the moon rise over the ocean while sitting on the beach, or from the balcony of my room. Now for a couple negatives. I don't like that they close the pools so early. I love to night swim and the pools close at 6. Also the constant sales pitches. It is not specific to just this resort, it happens all over Cancun, from when you arrive at the airport to when you board your plane to leave, but it does happen at the hotel as well. We spent a couple hours on the second morning we were there listening to a membership offer just to get a free hour at the spa. The spa was great but it would have been worth the cost of admission but not worth the time lost on the sales pitch. Good news is we didn't get hit up for the sales pitch over and over, just the first day.

Live Aqua was a nicely manicured and quiet facility. All of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to ensure that their guests are taken care of. Pool and beach area are always clean and there are plenty of lounge chairs for everyone. Waiters are always available to bring you the poolside/beachside beverages you seek. The buffet definitely lacks in variety as it is strictly Mexican food and pretty much the same choices each night. The other restaurants, Azur, MB etc. were very good and the food was nicely prepared. There is literally NO nightlife at this resort other than sitting at a bar and drinking. No shows, bands, casino etc. Overall, it was a nice relaxing week, and if that is what you seek, this is a perfect resort for you.

We researched a lot of resorts, and decided to go to Live Aqua based on the Trip Advisor reviews and the amount of repeated visits by resort lovers. This was our first time using Cheap Caribbean also. We loved the resort, the food was delicious. Anything you could want, the resort was beautiful, with a Zen appeal. It is right across a high end mall which made it even better. The staff was great!!! Booking through Cheap Caribbean went very smooth, I never had to call them. Everything was set up. I was very impressed. This was our first trip to Mexico also & we were a little nervous, we had heard of all the hassling of timeshares, but we said Not interested once and no one bothered us again, we will definitely be back to the resort again with friends!!! Can’t wait to book another vacation through Cheap Caribbean! There prices on this resort were on point & the best, after we picked this resort, we also shopped many vacation bookings sites. We loved Mexico!!
