Eclectic rhythms and a lively atmosphere embrace guests as they arrive to Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancun. This relaxing yet contemporary Adults Only, All-Inclusive luxury, a part of the Lifestyle collection of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, seems to have achieved the impossible: an upscale all-inclusive resort with a Cancun address that's low-key enough to be considered a wellness retreat. Bright, spacious rooms in shades of white and cream contrast with the turquoise of seaside infinity pools. Service is top-notch here, and ambient music from a resident DJ lends itself to a Zen mindset.

We just had the most fantastic dinner prepared by chef Palapa and chef Antonio (from Varenna), along with the amazing waiter Mesero Anatollo. Thank you also to Susana (manager extraordinaire)!

Not sure where to start because there are so many fantastic things to say about Live Aqua. This was our third visit, and it was just as wonderful as ever. After an easy, quick ride from the airport, you arrive and from that moment on, you feel at home. It truly feels like returning to family, and even if it’s your first trip, you quickly realize why so many people fall in love with this resort. One of the things that impresses me most is how the staff remembers you. That personal touch makes every visit feel special. Rooms: This visit, we stayed in an Aqua Suite (on previous trips we stayed in an oceanfront Aqua Club room and a Viento Suite). The suite was beautiful, with a large oceanfront patio that we enjoyed every day. The room was spotless, fully stocked with drinks and snacks, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Aqua Club: We love having the Aqua Club option to start the day and also enjoy drinks before dinner. Daniel greets you with a big smile and makes wonderful coffees, lattes, and mimosas. The breakfast selections are perfect for mornings when you don’t want the full buffet (although the buffet is excellent as well). In the evenings, we always look forward to hugs from Guillermo and his amazing espresso martinis! We also really enjoy checking in and out through the Aqua Club—it’s relaxing and so easy. Butlers: We have always had wonderful butlers who help as much or as little as you prefer. Stephany has become more than just our butler—she truly has become a friend. This year Arturo also worked with us and he was amazing. They did a great job making dinner and cabana reservations and ensuring everything was perfect throughout our stay. Pool & Cabanas: I’m usually a beach person, but the pools at this resort are so beautiful that I hardly wanted to leave them. I didn’t even make it to the beach until the last day! The pool staff does a fantastic job setting up the cabanas and checking in to see if you need anything. The cabanas themselves are very comfortable, and the included 20-minute foot massage each day is such a wonderful bonus. Spa: The spa is absolutely wonderful. We’ve done a couples massage each time we’ve visited and have always had a great experience. If you arrive early, you can enjoy the spa circuit, which includes the sauna, steam room, and cold and warm plunge pools. This time we had a 50-minute Swedish massage, but in the past we did the 80-minute—and we’ll definitely go back to that next time. The 50 minutes went by way too quickly! Food: I’ve visited many resorts in Cancun, and Live Aqua has the best food by far. I’ve never had a bad meal. For lunch, you can have food brought right to your cabana, grab burgers, tacos, chicken, or ribs, or enjoy a sit-down meal. I especially love the calzones at Varenna. Throughout the week, I found myself trying a little bit of everything. For dinner, my personal favorites are Hidden Garden and MB. We were especially excited to have Cesar as our waiter again at Hidden Garden. MB is the only restaurant that requires pants for men, but we chose to dress up for all of them—it just adds to the fun of the evening. I highly recommend trying each restaurant at least once. Nightlife: One of the great things about Live Aqua is that you can enjoy a quiet, relaxing evening or join in the fun with activities like the silent party, karaoke, or the Mexican dance show. No matter where your room is, you can choose between a peaceful night or staying up late to dance and sing. I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot because there are simply so many wonderful things about this resort. If you’re considering a stay at Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancun, I can’t recommend it enough. From the service to the food to the overall atmosphere, it continues to exceed our expectations every time we visit—and we will absolutely be back again.

I have had such an amazing experience, especially with all of the staff and food as someone who has celiac! Marco at the smoothie bar has completed our experience, and Disson at Siete was a great waiter! William at MB and our server Salvator made us feel so taken care of, and the piano player there was wonderful!
