Nearby Attractions

The Azul Fives is located in Playa del Carmen, a popular Mexican vacation destination that’s just a little bit more laid-back than the more touristy resort zones in nearby Cancún. Situated on the Caribbean coast, this is one of the trendiest spots in the Riviera Maya. This resort is just a 20-minute drive from Playa del Carmen’s happening Fifth Avenue, a walkable strip of some of the best restaurants and shops that makes for a great daytime or evening excursion away from the hotel grounds.

Other day trips worth exploring include a visit to the Mayan ruins of Chichén Itzá and Tulum, an easily accessible ferry ride to the nearby island of Cozumel, or a deep dive into the one of the region’s many underground swimming holes, known as cenotes.
