9. What Brides Said...
“We decided to have our wedding at the Fives and we were thoroughly pleased at the level of service, as well as safety precautions, that the resort took during our visit…The entire staff at the resort was friendly and accommodating and they consistently remembered us day to day with the variety of activities/lounging we were doing.”

“All 46 of our wedding guests stayed from December 11th-20th. Although a few hiccups along the way, not only did the wedding team make our wedding an absolute DREAM. But they also made me fall in love with Mexico again. I’ve been to a few resorts in Mexico but nothing can compare to the hard work and warm attitude all the employees put into making staying at the fives great.”

Good and a little less good.
So, here’s my take on The Fives Beach Residences as a destination wedding choice.
I love:
- The array of stunning wedding venues available.
- Downtown Playa Del Carmen is within easy reach.
- Dining and drinking experiences for all tastes.
- Penthouse suites with the ultimate luxury feel and incredible rooftop views.

I will say that sights like the Ruins of Tulum are not on the doorstep.
I did not love:

But that’s not a problem because we’ll make sure you get tours and activities to entertain everyone.
You and your guests can choose the experiences you want.
