The aesthetic of the resort reminded me of Cabo or even Ibiza, with a lot of rock beach’s and Helio, the beach club.

It was absolutely a wonderful vacation for us!

We can safely say this was the best holiday we’ve experienced.

Also special thanks to the duty manager, Braulio, who did his best to enjoy our holidays and made sure that we could leave in time when our taxi did not show up.

Highly recommend for a special occasion or a luxurious getaway!

We have had a fantastic honeymoon and we could not have wished for a better holiday.

My husband and I loved seeing all the wildlife on the property (there is quite a lot)

This was a great couples getaway destination and I would recommend to anyone looking for a romantic relaxing getaway with great food.

Highly recommend for a warm and stress-free vacation.

As always we had a memorable holiday, 14 nights in November 2023.

You don’t want to view beautiful photos online, book a custom vacation and be surrounded by trash.

Overall we’d highly recommend the TRS hotel it was peaceful and a perfect honeymoon getaway.

This was the best vacation ever and Belen and Paris were awesome!!!!

We have been so impressed that we have already booked our return holiday!

Just returned from a fabulous holiday at TRS Yucatan.

I have never been on such a beautiful, relaxing vacation!

We also would like to highly commend Martha at Helios who was friendly , accommodating , and looked after us throughout our entire holiday.

A daytrip to the maya ruins in Tulum, a snorkel adventure with sea turtles, a swim in a cenote followed with an authentic mexican dinner in a local restaurant of the beaten path, made our mini vacation complete.

Absolutely 100 percent best vacation I have ever experienced.

After two great trips to TRS Coral resort including our wedding back in February 2023 we decided to give TRS Yucatan a try on a long weekend, pre-holiday getaway and it did not disappoint!!!

She was just a ray of sunshine every time we went in there.

At the hotel reception you can book a free bus tour which takes you to a jewellery and tequila tasting venue and afterwards into Play Del Carmen where you can go to 5th ave or to the beach

We saw two sea turtles, some sting ray and a large variety of colourful marine life in and amongst the coral and sea grass.

(Ask for "forest of fruits") + Martha at the Helios breakfast is like a ray of sunshine!

I also want to say thank you to Rafael, Marina, and Oscar

We snorkeled in front of the scuba shack and saw schools of fish, 6 stingrays, and a HUGE (6-8 foot diameter body plus another 6 foot tail) ray of some kind!

The mini fridge was stocked with Pepsi, Sierra Mist, Water, juice, Del Sol, Tecate and Coors Light as well as peanuts and candy bars.

An exceptional culinary experience is La Mesa Del Chef orchestrated by Head Chef Gilberto Cobaruvias.

A few special shout-outs:
A huge thank you to Jorge at Helios- he was a ray of sunshine with our meals, and his customer service was exceptional.

Luiz at Tentaziane 'el es Ray' while 'mi esposo el es Ray langosta' thank luiz for such a wonderful evening and for never giving up on our Spanish lessons!

She is simply a ray of sunshine. Great service and so happy that it's contagious.)

We got to see quite a few turtles along with other sources including sting rays.

There were more daybeds, a jacuzzi in the center and tons of cool iguanas hanging out around catching some rays.

we snorkelled off the beach near the White Sands and saw a barracuda,and a few sting rays.

but better further down from TRS (to the left when looking out at the ocean) we saw sting ray, multiple fish, an octopus, we were hoping to see sea turtles but we ended up having to take a $55/person tour to Akumal Bay where we saw 3 turtles, a big eel, cool squid.

We have visited this area of Mexico before and stayed at the Thompson hotel that is right in the heart of Playa Del Carmen (and loved)

If you are looking to buy something as either a gift or a memory checkout George he can be found on the beach and believe me he is much cheaper than what is in playa del Carmen.

Tips:
====
Go to Playa Del Carmen using the collectivos directly outside the hotel.

Chic Cabaret:

Rated the number 1 restaurant in playa del carmen (out of 1164 on trip advisor) and the food is second to the performance.

Luckily, there was a nice couple that had a private company they booked outside of the hotel for airport transport that heard what was going on and offered us to get a ride with them if the company they were with allowed - the company did

We had private reformer Pilates classes with the resorts trainer, Elizabeth, every morning (which are included at no extra charge!).

There is a private TRS section with a bar and food and the ocean is amazing with such soft sand!

Next to our private pool, on the beach, along the winding pathway, in the pretty water feature.

We loved sitting outside by the private pool and using the pool since we went during one of the hottest, humid months of the year there.

Our suite with a large private infinity pool was spectacular and allowed us to seclude ourselves and enjoy some time together each day.

It is surrounded by jungle and felt very private.

We used the jacuzzi a few times, it worked great, was quiet and felt private.

but if I went back in the summer I would get the private pool.

Wonderful breakfasts at Capricho every morning, followed by relaxations at the tidal pool or private TRS beach drinking exotic elixers recharged our batteries.

We also utilized our private pool which had lovely shade on the day we couldn’t find anything.

There is a private TRS beach area about a fifteen minute walk from the TRS main area.

but quite private, and was pleasant at the end of the day.

Whilst there we booked a private romantic dinner at the Ixmucane Grand Cenote which was so lovely.

I feel this one was north worth it than the romance buglalo that was a “upgrade” we were right next to the infinity pool and had a private pool to ourselves.

Very knowledgable, kept to a good schedule and readjusted the trip so we visited the cenote first so we could have a private swim!

Or second room what the junior suite private pool at villa 61
It was a great experience to have the option to try both rooms

If you need to take a shower before your room is ready, they have a very clean little private shower space for men and women (see attached photo).

but for the cost, I would expect more than 2 restaurants that stay open.

Maria worked at the bar by the infinity pool grill and she made the best cocktails and drinks and was so nice to us.

Gorgeous grounds, excellent food options.

The New Year eve special dinner was great could use a little more elaborate menu.

We went to Tentazione (Italian dinner) and the food was great.

The French, Italian and Argentenian restaurants were also great.

The food in some of the restaurants  can be inconsistent

He másé great suggestions - this is how we tried one of our best desserts ever (verrine de coco. ).

Helios: The breakfast / brunch buffet spread was incredible.

The food in every restaurant was great and I have never experienced service like this before.

Furthermore, the culinary experience, while generally satisfactory, could benefit from a broader variety of options in Chic Cabaret Restaurant.

We tried all restaurants and as per usual, the service and the staff were great.

The moonlight dinner, (once a month at full moon) was fantastic, best dinner we had.

however they do smell damp and musty, as does the bedding.

As much as we tried to get rid of the smell, it persisted throughout our stay.

All of our clothes and room smell like mildew.

but smelled like mildew for our entire stay.

The smell was overpowering and our clothes were constantly wet.

Writing on my last day at TRS ☹️

The Room-
We stayed in block 69 it did have a musty smell about it, not sure what it is it did not seem to go either whilst we were there, our room had the jacuzzi on the balcony

As it is in most humid places, the pillows and sheets smelled moldy/sour.

The room had a terrible smell and we experienced a power outage twice!

The rooms with the jacuzzi do not have a damp (I use that word lightly no rooms has a bad smell) smell at all they are probably the better condition of the rooms especially top floor the room cleaning and turn down was always perfect .

Would I class it as a 5* hotel definitely not more like 3.5 at a push, room was musty and damp and really smelt, everything looked a bit tired, food was hit and miss, some restaurants were better than others, wine was awful unless you pay more for better wine.

Your basket will consist of stale bread and cold unseasoned steak slices.

This room had no issues with smells or allergy triggers,

Great experience would go agian ,but I wouldn't get the pool suite next time due to the fowl smell coming from the standing water by our room and the cart guys that pick you up if you weren't from their hotel like Colonial they wouldn't take anywhere I would have to wait for an TRS buggy.

The only downfall was a strong smell of drains in our room and the attitude of a male receptionist at Zentropia…we were hardly ever in the room so decided not to complain and for the receptionist…hmm let’s just assume he had a bad day.

People were smoking at the sun loungers and even in the pool despite there being a non smoking policy.

Also, some stains on the toilet and molds in shower room

butler this guy was a really welcoming showed how the  tv worked with app Room did smell damp but it was clean 
They advertise the wish list but it was something we never got which was disappointing, daily we had to ask for fridge to be topped up 
Overview the hotel it's nice but  felt there was alot of inconsistencies.

We were not expecting to be choking on cigarette smoke in a country where it is apparently illegal to smoke except in designated areas.

We were on honeymoon so it was about relaxing, last two days was slightly impacted  by next door smoking drugs on the balcony & partying all night.

Luckily, I had print outs of all my confirmation information and numbers because otherwise we would have been SOL.

The Spa is amazing and so are the pools and the beach.

Language barrier (expected based on non-English-speaking location/culture), inconsistent service quality and cleanliness of the spa were the downsides

butlers, reception, spa, bellboys) they were all magnificent.

This year  I needed a longer more intense massage and Victor did an amazing job for me at the spa.

We had massages at the spa and it was great.

The spa was nice, and we enjoyed massages and the hydrotherapy experience.

We also used the Spa where my wife had a massage and we both used the hydrotherapy circuit, this is a pleasant place to spend the afternoon to relax with a very chilled atmosphere

Spa and facilities were the state of the art.

We got appointments for two massage sessions which were very communicative and accommodating.

Zentopia, the resorts spa and gym were perfect and had everything we needed in terms of weights and cardio equipment.

Other
We enjoyed a couples massage, make sure you go early to enjoy the rest of the facilities and the juice bar.

Spa:  We adored the Zentropia Spa and pool.

The Zentropia spa was a very tranquil and relaxing experience from start to finish.

All three of us had massages at Zentropia, which where nice,

Friendly service from all the staff, from Uziel at check in, check out to the constant attention of our Butlers Antonio, Daniel and Miguel, our waiter Fernando at El Gaucho and rest of the wait staff, pool staff, spa staff, drivers, bartender's and housekeepers.

I was amazed by how many of the staff remembered me.

The entire staff is so kind and accommodating.

We’ve traveled all over the world and have never had a more considerate attentive and kind staff ready to help us in every way.

We had Victor as our server and he was so kind and happy.

The staff at TRS Yucatan were so friendly - whether it be the serving staff, housekeeping or maintenance - it didn’t matter who they were, when they walked by they always had a smile on their face and said hello.

Staff basically did everything they could to say yes to every request.

Susana, our concierge, was a delight and went over and above to help make our experience amazing - they did a special birthday room for my special day too!

butler team, Maggie, Jesus and Armando were amazing.

We were greeted at our villa by our personal

This was our 4th trip to Mexico and first time at TRS Yucatan, it’s the best one we’ve stayed in - I would highly recommend this hotel if you appreciate attentive service

Service was very professional, quick and preview.

The staff in general is very friendly and helpful, waiters, cleaning staff etc.

but specifically enjoyed seeing some of the staff from prior trips.

but they were very pushy, so much so that we declined wine towards the end.

butlers were Triana and Patricia they were very attentive and informative and took very good care of us.

This is a beautiful, all inclusive property with gorgeous views.

This 7 nights all-inclusive stay was the best trip ever!

The All Inclusive Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancun, absolutely fits into this category.

Hotel: Live Aqua Cancun: Ocean Front – Premium Room King Bed – all inclusive: 4.5 Stars!

The food is better than most all inclusive resorts and I have stayed at more than 20.

I would recommend several other all inclusive in the Cancun area,

Third night we went to MB which is their nicest of the all-inclusive restaurants.

Ala carte food was quit average for an all inclusive.

Live Aqua was an all inclusive and adult only resort.

The resort as a whole is everything you could want in an all inclusive resort.

There are too many all inclusive resorts that offer a higher quality across the board for any of these areas to be skimped on.

but this place does not feel like a typical all inclusive resort, more like a hotel with a very nice pool and beach.

The best food I've experienced at any all-inclusive
▪︎ Make the tipping culture clearer upon booking.

This hotel is the best all inclusive we have ever stayed in.

This resort also charges for normal amenities and is far from all inclusive.

This was an awesome and fun all-inclusive adult only resort.

This all-inclusive is awesome if you like low key grownup vibes.

One of the best all inclusive we have been to.

We also loved our time in Cabo (Grand Fiesta),

After we were shown the hotel & room I thought it was new construction instead of over four decades old.

-so remember how I had the con for the construction next store?

They put us in a room next directly next to a construction zone.

We were initially placed on the right side of the hotel near the construction of the new RIU hotel which was very noisy, so the hotel was flexible and put us on the other side with an ocean view, making our 6th anniversary truly special.

I requested to change the room due to a lot of noise from constructions.

While there was construction next door, I didn’t hear it once.

Construction site next door was a major eye sore.

Imagine our shock on entering our garden view room after checking in , the whole view from the balcony is a construction site , not the type of garden view I had in mind when I booked !!

Cons: resort is older and needs some updates/maintenance, not many daily activities at the resort, location is not very private (noisy construction next door).

A large hotel is under construction next door, creating an intermittent noise problem for the next few months.

The daily construction noise was terrible and continued til 1 and sometime 2 am in the morning.

I was ok with the room until the 1st morning when I woke up and there was a lot of construction going on next door.

Be aware that “premium garden view rooms” may well place you on one side of the hotel facing a new construction next door, while the other side puts you over the mechanical plant and it’s constant noise.

I would ask for a room where you can’t see the construction – if possible.

Our room was room 1264 and should be blocked off until the construction is done.

When we were there, there was quite a bit of remodeling happening and we’re looking forward to going back and seeing the updates!

We could have looked over a construction site next door and not had the night time noise, so the couple of evenings of musical noise were not a bad trade off!

Neither Monse or Alajandra(manager) at the front check in counter was able to find me a room that wasn't extremely loud due to construction or from huge air vents for the hotel.

Too many precious waiters to name them all, led by Mauricio, Oscar, Ray, Cesar and so very many others.

Omar at Azur and Varenna is a ray of sunshine who brightened our day with his positive energy.

Breakfast buffet @ Siete offered options for everyone and Marco was a ray of sunshine as he squeezed fresh juice and made amazing smoothies!

We always, and I want to stress this, always went right back to our chairs to catch some rays.

She is always happy and provides a ray of sunshine in an already sun filled place.

Tuvimos una estancia excelente, ha sido el mejor all inclusive , la comida y la atención del Chef Ejecutivo Cesar Germain y su equipo ha sido excelente .

The 2nd time we rented a boat and got on across the street at the marina.

I would compare MB to a Ruth's Chris or Del Frisco's quality restaurant.

Rossi round the pool always keen to brighten anyone's day, she's a little ray of sunshine!

And the Dia Del Morto concert by Azur was wonderful.

The hotel is right in front of Fashion Harbor too, so if you want to do some shopping and walk around outside of the resort then you definitely can.

We stayed at Live Aqua Boutique in Playa Del Carmen which was a wonderful experience and decided to try the resort.

First of all, we got in from Playa Del Carmen early and they were able to accommodate our early check in.

Centralized location, a short bus ride to "downtown", the marina, and conveniently located across the street from luxury shops.

We have been visiting the Cancun/Playa Del Carmen/Tulum area for 20 years and have stayed at over a dozen resorts.

It has an ideal location for a broad range of tourists since there is a mall, theater and marina across the street.

On Saturday, we went off property for a yacht party [see other review of H2Oh Sun Cruises]

We  later rented a car and stayed at 3 other hotels  in Playa Del Carmen, Tulum, and Isla Mujeres, and the people at Live Aqua were by far the friendliest- maybe because it is an adults only all inclusive.

At the end of the trip, we stayed at The Royal Playa Del Carmen.

Very attentive and suggestive with meals.

The 6 restaurant selection and outside grilling food court gave many delicious choices no matter what meal you were eating.

The food was wonderful; high quality, smaller portions with interesting presentations, all with a professional and approachable staff.

The food was phenomenal as well as his Service.

At the end of our dinner he surprised us with these special plates with great conversation (not knowing we were here to celebrate our 1 year anniversary) so it was extra special!

Every course was fantastic and was our favorite meal at Lice Aqua.

Azur restaurant is a favorite for location on the resort.

The food for New Year’s Eve was great quality food, very well made, and presented.

The property is beautifully maintained and the food is just fabulous.

The food was amazing and the pool and Beach area were spectacular.

The food was delicious (I did get an upset tummy troubles into day 5 and 6 -

They definitely do not skimp out on the alcohol at the bars/restaurants which was a huge bonus

Also, Caeser at the Mb restaurant was incredible.

Our favorite was Azul, the Mediterranean restaurant.

Mini fridge contents included coke, diet coke, sprite, mineral water, Tecate, Sol and Dos Equis beers.

), well stocked shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the shower along with a loofah,  espresso machine, stocked fridge (SOL, Tecate Light), an aroma dream menu with 5 options of aroma blends (the reed diffusor in the room smelled amazing!!

The in room mini bar was stocked with soda, water, tecate, dos equios and Sol beer.

Mini refrigerator has Coke, 7up, orange soda, bottled waters and Tecate & Sol beers, orange juice and sparking water.
