Mexico and Central America Eco-friendly Holidays

We had a great stay at The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the entire resort was very clean and well maintained. The lush landscaping gives the property a beautiful tropical feel. One of the highlights was the nightly entertainment and food stations in the plaza, which created a fun atmosphere and offered a nice taste of Mexican culture. A couple of minor downsides were the wait times for the à la carte restaurants during busy hours and the lack of a disco or late-night spot for younger guests who might want more nightlife. The sargassum (though uncontrollable) on the beach was disappointing as well. Overall, a wonderful resort with great service and a relaxing, cultural vibe.

Everything about this hotel stay was relaxing from the beach chairs seaside with a giant wooden Palapa and full service all day drinks and lunch whatever you want We had massages which at first the $300 price tag seemed high but then when you realize it is a time to go and spend at least three hours in the spa with a private pool just for the spa patrons, a coffee bar with yogurt and complementary drinks, outdoor hot tub and the staff is so friendly. It’s just a place to go and really have a Zen moment. All the restaurants are fabulous and they treated us like royalty at the Toro steak restaurant. We were taken into the dry age, beef room, and given a small sample of the chef’s favorite steak and explained the process of the meat drying, the food was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our entire stay at this hotel resort. A bonus was visiting the adjoining hotels for dinner at the Banyan tree and Rosewood. Golf carts are your taxi which the resort runs a very efficient service
