Live Aqua Boutique Resort Playa Del Carmen

- Food was absolutely amazing - There is an extra charge (at least $50/day) for the beach club which is not owned by the hotel - the hotel doesn't sit on a beach. - Hotel is right on the main street so lots of things to do and see right outside - The pool was small. Service staff was very lean so it took a long time to get food and drinks. - Though staff was lean, they were terrific. Always working hard. Always respectful and helpful. - I have to say it again - the food was excellent - My only cautionary note - the massage was ... questionable. The male therapist was a bit too ... liberal shall we say. American rules of modesty don't necessarily apply. Just make sure you're comfortable with this, or get a female therapist!

This is a beautiful small resort directly on 5th Avenue. Unfortunately that is my biggest complaint. The vendors on 5th Avenue are very aggressive and annoying. As for the resort. I have stayed in many all inclusive resorts and this one had the best food and service of any. Fernando at the bar was an amazing bartender. He went out of his way to make special drinks was very personable. Barba and Pedro at the main restaurant were also very nice and super accommodating. All of the staff went out of their way to make this a wonderful vacation. Cons Pool is a bit small and not exclusive to hotel guest. Gets a bit crowded Beach access is close but the beach is not very nice. Seaweed everywhere and small Overall I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Even my negative experience on 5th Avenue would be a positive to anyone more interested in partying

This was a great boutique hotel. And the fact that everything was included was a perk. You stepped right outside to Fifth Ave. Sexy cool vibe great for couples that need to relax. I will differently return in the future.

The hotel service and staff were excellent. It is important to understand that there are two hotels with the same name. Ine in Cancun, the other in Carmen del playa. The one in Playa del Carmen does not have multiple pools or a private beach.
