Every so often, a work trip feels less like work and more like the kind of experience you replay in your head long after you’re home. That was our Be All Inclusive getaway to The Fives in Riviera Maya this year. We were surrounded by turquoise water, incredible food, and some of the most genuinely warm resort staff in the industry—but the highlight came with a golden shimmer…
Our very own James Berglie was awarded Gold Global Travel Agent of the Year.
This honor recognizes excellence on a world level—and it’s a testament to the care James puts into every couple, every group, and every traveler who trusts us with their memories. Safe to say… we cheered, we clapped, and yes, a few of us cried happy tears. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it.
But the award was only part of the story. The rest? Exploring and experiencing three of the most wedding-friendly resort options on the Riviera Maya coast:
-
The Fives Beachfront
-
The Fives Oceanfront
-
The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences
If you’re planning a destination wedding, vow renewal, group getaway, or a “let’s just go somewhere beautiful” trip—consider this your inside look to The Fives.
THE FIVES BEACHFRONT
This is the resort that gets everyone talking. Located right on the shoreline, The Fives Beachfront offers that classic destination wedding atmosphere: palm trees, ocean breeze, and a fun, social energy that makes the entire group feel connected.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL:
-
Multiple ceremony spaces, from the actual beach to elevated terraces
-
Gourmet-inclusive dining (not just “resort good”—actually good)
-
Suites and residences that make getting ready easy and relaxing
-
Lively ambiance — perfect if your group likes to mingle, dance, and celebrate
It’s the kind of place where your guests turn what was “your wedding trip” into their favorite vacation.
THE FIVES BEACH HOTEL & RESIDENCES
If you’ve ever dreamed of a resort that feels more like a tropical village, this is the place. Meandering pathways wind through palms and lush gardens, hidden pools invite quiet escapes, and every day offers a new adventure waiting to unfold.
It’s an ideal choice for weddings and groups, with a wide range of event spaces to match any style—from beachside ceremonies to rooftop celebrations and garden gatherings. Families appreciate the spacious multi-bedroom suites and residences, while the variety of dining and entertainment options ensures there’s always something for everyone. Add in an experienced on-site wedding team that understands timing, flow, and every detail, and it’s easy to see why this resort stands out. With its incredible range and flexibility, it’s one we recommend again and again.
THE FIVES OCEANFRONT
A different vibe entirely—in the best way. The Fives Oceanfront is nestled in the charming fishing village of Puerto Morelos, where time slows down and the ocean takes center stage.
This resort is made for couples who want something more intimate, more peaceful, more authentic.
WHAT COUPLES FALL IN LOVE WITH HERE:
-
Rooftop event spaces with panoramic sea views
-
A quieter atmosphere away from resort crowds
-
Walkability to the small beachfront town
-
Thoughtful, light-filled rooms that feel personal, not cookie-cutter
