Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancun Cancun Mexico

Location

The Live Aqua Cancun sits on a white, sandy beach in the Hotel Zone; while the saturated blues create eye-popping scenery. The waves make for rough swimming conditions. Across the street is Cancun's famous La Isla Shopping Village, an outdoor shopping centre with winding canals, lagoonside restaurants and high-end designer shops. The exciting Punta Cancun area and the nightclubs of Party Centre are just a five-minute bus ride away.

Style and Character

A juxtaposed ambiance of design and nature characterizes the Live Aqua Cancun. The hotel itself begins with an immense lobby decked in artful architecture and pool fountains, while restaurants feature outstanding details like Mexican pop culture or traditional Yucatan tiles. Between the building and the beach is a lushly green mangrove area with snakelike pathways leading to hidden-away restaurants.

Service and Facilities

While not big on elaborate amenities, each of Live Aqua's areas is done just right. Friendly but unobtrusive service sets the stage for a relaxing Cancun holiday; the smaller size of the restaurants allows for personalised attention, while the pool concierge attends your needs during the daytime.

The peaceful pool area has interconnecting pools of varying depths and a beachfront infinity pool. Inside the hotel, the small but well-equipped Spa Aqua has luxurious facilities like an inhalation room and diverse temperature pools, while the gym provides the latest in workout technology.

Rooms

The resort's signature aromatherapy menu sets the mood in these contemporary spaces, boasting nice little amenities like luxury bath products, gourmet coffee, and a separate tub and shower. Get even more space for a romantic holiday in the Aqua Suite, featuring a combined bedroom-bathroom area with circular hot tub, plus a living area and large terrace. While the accommodations here are well-outfitted in amenities and have attractive contemporary design, the style lacks special touches and not all rooms have those coveted ocean views.

Food and Drink

Alluring dining options lie tucked away throughout the lush grounds, making Live Aqua's gourmet culinary scene a delight to explore. On the beach are the Sea Corner, a charming beachside shack serving flavourful Mexican favourites like fish tacos and ceviches in the afternoons, and the poolside Azure with oceanfront views and Mediterranean-Latin-Asian fusion.

Inside the main building, guests will find Siete, the main buffet restaurant with an impressive spread of Mexican haute cuisine, and the seductive ambiance of MB serving Latin-inspired author cuisine. The intertwining branches and mangrove of the resort's central area hide three intimate outdoor restaurants: casual Italian eatery Varenna sits under an immense tree and serves brick oven-cooked Italian dishes; a beautiful archway over a mangrove path leads to Hidden Garden with its contemporary Asian fusion menu; and the tiny Inlaa'kech cooks up enticing steak and lobster dinners in an ambiance of lanternlight and swaying branches.

Value for Money

Double rooms from £450 for two people per night. All meals included (except for Inlaa'kech restaurant) as well as drinks and cocktails. Free Wi-Fi.

Access for guests with disabilities?

Live Aqua Cancun has a few adapted rooms. All main restaurants and public areas are accessible, although the beach area and Sea Corner restaurant are only reachable by stairs.

Family-Friendly?
