Essence at the Fives Beach

All Inclusive 7 nights from £1,279 per person Including Flights

Overview

Fun, vibrant, and family-friendly, Essence at the Fives Beach is a wonderful choice for an all-inclusive Mexico holiday. Located in sun-soaked Playa del Carmen, you’ll be desirably close by to 5th Avenue’s array of restaurants and shops – but we reckon you’ll be too busy enjoying the facilities at this gorgeous retreat. The beach is miles long and utterly gorgeous, and so a lovely long walk along the sugary sands is thoroughly recommended.

There is plenty for the whole family to enjoy, including seven outdoor pools, live entertainment in the day and evening, and a variety of fantastic restaurants to suit even the fussiest of eaters. There’s also a great kid’s club, boasting a fun fitness area, a playground, a pool and exciting group activities.

The rooms and residences are modern with an inspired Caribbean charm. The residences in particular are spacious and well furnished, with a large living and dining area, a double sofa bed, and a balcony or terrace looking out onto the gardens and pools. 

Whether you fancy a taste of authentic Mexico, an indulgent sushi dinner or succulent seafood right by the beach, the resort’s restaurants and bars have you covered. We love the casual vibe these venues evoke, where the focus in on enjoying good food and good company.
