Beachfront by the Fives 

Luxurious adults only beachfront boutique

Sumptuous and secluded, this romantic retreat sits upon the sandy shores of Playa Del Carmen

Edged by powdery white sands and glistening turquoise waters, Beachfront by the Fives is your route to relaxation. With a palm-fringed pool just steps from the sand and thatch-roofed rooms providing breathtaking panoramas, this idyllic adults-only retreat is perfect for a romantic getaway. Clink glasses by the pool, take a sunset stroll along the sand or sample Mexican cuisine by candlelight. And if you fancy venturing out, The Fives Hotel, where you can experience everything from yoga classes to karaoke nights, is just a short shuttle ride away.
