My wife and I had the most amazing experience having dinner at Sea Olive/Arrezo during our 10 day stay at the Fives beach resort and residences. We had the privilege of having Armenta as our waiter, he was extremely friendly and attentive to us and did everything he could to make our experience memorable. He took the time to chat with us, we could have talked for hours. I had ordered the Tomahawk steak, medium rare, cooked perfectly. My wife had the Fettuccine Alfredo and added the stuffed chicken breast which Almenta was happy to do for her. During our meal Almenta had the Chef come table side to ask how everything was. My wife and I had nothing but high remarks and told him that they take a lot of pride at their profession and it shows in the quality of food and phenomenal service. We had chosen before this evening to end our vacation back at Sea Olive and are hoping to have Armenta as our server to end our vacation to Playa Del Carmen. It was an absolute joy and look forward to another great meal.

I recently stayed at The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences and had such a great experience. Everyone there was super welcoming and always happy, which made the whole place feel full of good energy. The hotel has an app for food and activities, which made everything really easy to book and keep track of.
We tried the temazcal and it was 100% worth it. We also had dance lessons with Camilo. He was patient, full of genuine energy, and honestly made us feel really welcome every time we saw him around the resort.
We really enjoyed our stay and would def recommend. Great vibes, great staff, and a really relaxing experience.

Casa de Rosa Dinner Experience
From start to finish, everything about our visit was amazing. Fatima and Lea were the most wonderful hosts. They were warm, knowledgeable, and so much fun to be around. The liquor tasting was such a unique touch, and learning about the local flavors made the experience even richer.
Cooking dinner together was a highlight as the ingredients were fresh, the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful, and the food turned out absolutely delicious. Sitting down afterward to enjoy the meal we had just prepared felt so special.
If you’re looking for an authentic, hands-on experience with incredible food and even better company, Casa de Rose is a must. Highly recommend!

Had a great 9 day holiday at The Fives Beach Hotel. The hotel area is spread out wide and has a lot of beautiful green areas including a jungle! I stayed in one of the older buildings and while the rooms were mostly tidy they are dated and definitely need a little cosmetic uplift. The beach was lovely with good service and the wavebreakers helped on wavy days.
There are multiple restaurants to choose from. The main buffet restaurant Flavours was ok, but during busy times the service didn't keep up and they kept forgetting and mixing up orders. Almost no warm vegetarian options.
The Brasserie was our favorite, calmer with better service.
The beach restaurant options were generally good especially the empanadas. The olive restaurant was just ok, smelly inside, average service.
We tried the Thai place once and me and another family member got a nasty food poisoning that we reported to the hotel.
Overall good value hotel, but doesn't quite reach the 5 stars in my opinion.

I had a wonderful stay at The Fives Hotel and Residences! The property is absolutely beautiful — lush greenery, plenty of wildlife, and a relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind.
We were there celebrating my cousin’s 50th birthday, and the staff made it truly special. We had a private dinner on the beach with David, and it was absolutely exquisite — the setting, food, and service were all perfect.
The food was delicious throughout the resort, and the service was outstanding. Special shoutout to Francisco on the beach, who was amazing and so attentive, as well as Miguel and Hermenegildo, who were excellent servers. Antonio in hospitality went above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth and that we had everything we needed — incredibly helpful and accommodating!
We stayed in a penthouse suite, which was incredible — a full kitchen, a jacuzzi, and plenty of space. The entertainment and activities were fun and kept things lively throughout our stay.
The only downsides were the long wait times at restaurants (it’s first come, first serve, so get there early) and the limited smoking areas, which were too few and too small.
Overall, this is a beautiful resort with great food, fantastic service, and unforgettable experiences. We had an amazing time celebrating, and I’d definitely stay here again!
