Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancun

My wife and I spent 5 nights at Live Aqua in Early April 2026. We've been to Cancun quite a few times and have stayed at some nice resorts, but this was our first stay at Live Aqua. We did a lot of research and read so many reviews about LA, and as I read the reviews I kept thinking that surely people are exaggerating about how great the resort and the staff are, but we quickly learned that it was not exaggeration. We were able to stay in an Aqua Suite and with the suite we were able to use the Aqua Club, which is where they checked us in, and wow the views from there are absolutely stunning!! What a way to start the vacation. This trip we actually flew into Cancun a day early and stayed at an airport hotel, which allowed us to get to LA by 8:45 and start enjoying ourselves for that full first day. Food: Everything we had for dinner was top notch at MB, Hidden Garden, Varenna. We loved these choices so much that we ended up going twice for dinner to two of them. The Grill for lunch was excellent, so much so that we had lunch there 3 of the 5 days. The ribs, chicken and pork chops were unbelievable! Azur right on the beach was a great spot for a good breakfast and great cranberry mimosas. Also a nice spot for a light lunch before The Grill. We were not disappointed at all with any of our food choices. The staff all around is truly amazing: OUR BUTLERS MAGGIE AND ELADIO WERE ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!! They both made our stay so magical. They did everything: Made dinner reservations Made cabana reservations Filled up our in-room jacuzzi 2 nights, and included a bottle of champagne both nights They would magically appear throughout the resort just to see if we needed anything. THANK YOU MAGGIE AND ELADIO!! And thank you to all of the staff: Daniel at the Aqua Club Jose at the buffet in the morning and Varenna in the afternoon was so on top of it! Ariel at Azur Marco at the pool and bracelet making Marco at the smoothie bar Really, all of the staff members were incredible and helped make our stay very special! We will definitely be returning!

Just returned from a wonderful vacation at Live Aqua. We wanted to recognize the exceptional service from our butlers, Stephany and Arturo, and several wonderful servers: Cesar, Jonathan, Marco and Julio. Thank you all for making our vacation special!

Porfirio is a master class in pool side food. We have been coming to Live Aqua for years and this man is an absolute pleasure. He cooks the BEST nachos poolside I’ve ever had and makes a mean cheeseburger you don’t want to mess with. He’s part of the family as I remember when he first got her, we love you P! ❤️

The food was great!! Excellent service! I stopped by 2 days in a row! My co workers recommended the food to me and I was impressed and told the rest of my coworkers about the grill station.

We spent ten perfect days at LA. Returning year after year has allowed us to become friends with the entire staff. They always do their absolute best to make sure everything is the best it can be! Last year we were lucky enough to visit twice and we enjoyed it so much that we may do the same this year. Our butlers were Stephany and Arturo this time. They did a great job! From daily dinner reservations, activity schedules and spa appointments to providing Champagne, wine and treats, it was all taken care of for us. We always enjoy seeing Daniel in the Aqua Club. He is the best! Always has a smile and is very accommodating. We were so happy to see Daniel and his beautiful wife perform the traditional Mexican dances one evening. The costumes were vibrantly colorful and the dancing was perfect! This was one of the highlights of our trip. We love to have lunch at Azur with Mauricio as our server. He takes very good care of us and will offer fresh fish or even a quesadilla if that is what we are in the mood for. We have noticed that the food at all the restaurants has improved over the last few years since Chef Ernesto Palapa has been there. We even had the Executive Chef Cesar Germain and Chef Ernesto check in with us to make sure we were happy. Chef Manuel at Azur created a delicious dinner for us. The team at the pool hut are always so helpful. Flavio does his absolute best to make sure we are comfortable and pleased. He is the sweetest! Eduardo Weston kept us cool with his offer of ice cold cloths in the heat. His smile and personality are radiant! I love my foot massages with Yajaira. I look forward to seeing her every day! We like to see Romero each time too. Even though he was not assigned to us this time, he got us a good table to see the Mexican night festivities. We also make a point of visiting Eli at the swing bar. He knows a lot about tequila! He was happy to make us a special margarita as we requested. We enjoyed Andres as our server at the pool. He came around perfectly in time with fresh ice, water as needed and of course, cocktails! We are looking forward to our next visit to see our family of friends at LA.
