    My daughter and I were there last January first her birthday. We both loved it. We liked the close proximity to the shops too. Everyone has their own criteria for an all inclusive. I also went to the Fiesta Americana which I believe is a sister property. Food was great. Fish tacos. ❤ Sometimes you may need more time or a second stay to get the full picture. Safe travels. 😊

    We stayed here back in 2015 and loved it. It was actually our first all inclusive experience and a great one to start with. Many things looked very familiar and saw some newer stuff too. We had a great time but haven't felt the need to return, yet, with all the other great options in the region. One of the biggest selling points is that it's Adult Only and that is worth quite a bit as well.

    Very cool to see you're starting the Cancun area. My favorite hotels in Cancun so far in order : Secrets Impression Moxché (just insanely above everything else that exists), Iberostar Grand Paraiso (mainly for the food and the ocean front rooms), Secrets Maroma, Excellence Riviera Cancun. I am booked for Hyatt Ziva and Excellence Playa Mujeres so we'll see. Live Aqua has been on my future resort list along with Secrets Akumal, Unico, Atelier, Secrets Impression Isla Mujeres and Secrets Cap Cana.

    We returned home yesterday from an all-inclusive trip in the Riviera Maya region and the ocean was very wavy everyday. It was a shame because I was not allowed to do any kayaking. It didn't stop us or anyone else from swimming in the ocean though.

    This was the first all inclusive we stayed at when we started travelling annually with our friends nearly 10 years ago. The other all inclusive resorts that we have stayed have been a little disappointing in comparison and I think it is time to come back to Live Aqua. (Kudos to our Husbands who accidently booked the one of the most amazing all inclusives in Cancun) It looks like they have freshened the decor and have kept the coziness of the restaurants. We remember that the staff was amazing and went our of their way to make our stay memoriable.

    We've stayed at this hotel three times, and have always enjoyed it! Food is very good, the service is fantastic, and we do like the "Miami Beach-ish" feel, never having been there. When you go back, be sure to see about reserving the Live Aqua level room, which allows you entrance to the lounge on the floor. It's separate, and very nice. Also, be sure to reserve a cabana, as it comes with a wonderful 20-minute foot massage (or at least it did in the past). The fact that anyone would be willing to do that to my feet for that long amazes me, and it feels great. Regarding the beach, it was one of the reasons I chose the place, as I much prefer to swim in the waves than to bathe in an ocean that emulates a pool, especially with so many nice pools to choose from. I was told once that the red flag had nothing to do with conditions....it had to do with sharks....but who knows. My fav restaurant for lunch is that one in the corner, Sea Corner. I hope you have a better experience the next time you go. Watching this has made me think that another trip is needed. Thanks for that!

    @MACMAMI 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I imagine it'll be a 4 when all is said and done. I feel usually if a stay elicits a "reserve judgment" response, it's a pretty clear indicator a 6/6 score is ruled out and a 5/6 is possible but pretty unlikely. Because 6/6 resorts just consistently elicit that feeling naturally, and 5/6 resorts, as imperfect as they are, also inspire this feeling to a slightly lesser extent. I highly doubt it not being windy is going to ultimately change the outlook much if at all.
    The Thai restaurant looked like the standout of Live Aqua Cancun to me. That looked amazing! The room was awesome too! On the flipside, the resort doesn't feel like it has much soul, or character like you surmise. I can't say I was floored by this place based off of your review alone, but am still looking forward to Part II. 😇

    • @Coolist
      @Coolist  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Definitely not a 6. It's so hard to gauge because of the price elasticity. At $350/night, it's borderline excellent, but at $600/night it's borderline lackluster. We'll see... 😎

  • @kimbelaya
    @kimbelaya 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Had a five day stay in October, red flag day everyday. Food was just ok, they couldn’t get my steak right at MB after two tries but the habanero soup was amazing. Night life was really lacking and honestly the price per a night I thought was pretty expensive for what you got. The highlights though were the staff, our beach waiter and hector the bartender to had the margarita class were awesome!!! And we really enjoyed the pools, however renting a cabana for 80 dollars a day I thought was outrageous even if it does come with a ten min foot massage. I felt upgrading to an aqua suite did not support the included cabana at 150-200 dollars more a night. My friends enjoyed it and want to go back. I just thought it was ok not the best. Certainly not the worst.

    • @Coolist

      Lately I haven't been inserting music in the pool and beach montages for more of an ASMR vibe. I did overlay music in this beach montage because of the overpowering wind.

I know it was windy and all but the beach didn't thrill me, the rooms didn't impress me AT ALL, and at $350/nt, I better be wowed! The food didn't look that special to me, and the so-called pool party was a joke so I'd much rather stay at your 2 previous hotels than this one! LIVE AQUA?? Not so much live there......Iberostar is the winner so far for me!

    Para el precio y fama del hotel creo deja bastante que desear en la comida y bebidas, sobre todo en comida, muy bonitos los restaurantes pero la comida parece fast food. Lo malo de todos esos Resorts es que te venden humo. Sería bueno visitaras algunos de mas categoría para ver si es que en verdad te dan algo del otro mundo. Al final nunca vas a desquitar en consumo lo que pagas por una noche.

    On dit "Je ne sais quoi". If you are interested , here is an important review. You Will have to "work" for this one as I am French from Canada. Encore un "resort mexicain" qui a oublié que la nature qui l entoure et la mer doivent être les raisons majeures de son existance. Trop dommage de voir que tout ce que vous trouvez génial sont des endroits placardés a l interieur sans vue à l air climatisé dans un hôtel Full béton. Désolation de défruire de si beaux terrains remplis de palmiers, cocotiers, végétation, mangroves naturels pour du béton. Are you really thinking that we want To travel just to eat food that ressemble ours and celebrate that Starbuck is in the resort ? If Cuba would not have been sanctioned by your country, YOU would like To see what is really being on vacation, under palapas enjoying looking at the océan and walking less than 50 feet To get in a turquoise water. No enormous pools, no enormous restaurants, no massive concrete construction. Just an outside by the beach opened al fresco restaurant with live little cuban band. You are eating a grilled lobster freshly catched from the sea. No frills, no luxe just nature at its best. Oh, and after dinner you walk to the pier at 100 feet from the restaurant and you will be looking at a sky full of stars because they are no humongus light around To destroy the visibility.
