9. What Brides and Grooms Said
Here’s the point of view of a bride who got married at the resort…
“After rescheduling our wedding multiple times, my husband and I decided to elope and do it at this resort as it was highly recommended to us. Although it was just me and my husband (no guests), the general manager, Carlos, quickly helped us organize a small intimate ceremony on the beach within a day! He fulfilled all our wishes and even arranged for the amazing front desk associates Pedro and Armando to help. Pedro even streamed the whole wedding for us on my social media for our guests to watch at home. They even had a beautiful private dinner set up for us on the beach after the ceremony.”

And some insights from a wedding guest at the resort…
“We attended a wedding and were pleasantly surprised at the upscale quality at this boutique hotel. The staff were outstanding at treating us like royalty. We had an ocean-view room that we thought was very well-priced. The food was delicious. Not every eating venue is open at this point in the world of Covid, but we certainly didn’t lack for delicious food that was again very well priced, particularly when compared to other resorts’ food. The beach is lovely.”

10. Why We Like It (Pros/Cons)
Our team loves making sure every couple has the destination wedding of their dreams.
So, we only ever recommend resorts and experiences that we know will deliver.
And we’re always completely honest.
At The Fives Oceanfront, we love:
- The relaxed yet chic vibe.
- Rooftop views and the stunning infinity pool.
- Breathtaking location in a quieter area of this part of Mexico.
- Excellent service and attention to detail.
Keeping it real, prices at this resort can be on the high side, although you do get dedicated service.
You also need to take into account that there are only a handful of bars and restaurants at the resort, although if you’re looking to spend some time exploring the area, this may not be a problem.
Overall, we think this is an amazing location for intimate and medium-sized weddings but isn’t a good choice if you’re having a huge celebration.
