    Highly recommend the Live Aqua!

    The restaurants are top notch and the staff go above and beyond to make your stay feel special. They take much care in providing an experience and location that exudes quality. Eladio and Viri were the best butlers and Andres was amazing serving us by the pool all day.

    Amazing Food and Unparalleled Service!!

    Our new favorite Cancún resort!! We had an absolutely perfect vacation with amazing service, comfy beds and delicious food! Shout out to our wonderful butlers Sakny and Isiais, Guillermo in the Aqua Club Lounge, Porfino at the poolside grill, big personalities Ricky and Maria with entertainment/activities, and incredible wait staff - especially David. We appreciated the excellent meals prepared by Chefs William (MB), Nathanael (Room Service), Carlos (sushi), Antonio (Varenna), Ernesto (Sous Chef), Benjamin (Pastry Chef), Cesar (Executive Chef), and Alicia (Assistant Chef)!! From arrival to departure we felt cared for, welcomed and totally pampered. We had an ocean front room and the view was spectacular! We hope to be back soon!!

    This place isn’t the same…

    This was our second trip to Live Aqua, our first was in 2022. We booked the Aqua Suite both times, primarily for the butler experience. It was an additional $2000, but we had such a wonderful experience in 2022 that we paid it again. Something changed at this resort in the last few years. We had two butlers. We never even met one of the butlers and they never spoke to us. The other butler was ok, but was unable to reserve cabanas for us. That is one of the key reasons to book the Aqua Suite and pay the extra $2k. We were told they were “full,” although they were mostly empty during the day. We also constantly had issues with restaurants not being available, despite them sitting empty. I mentioned this to the resort, whose only solution was to provide us another butler. This was on the last day of our stay, and even he never did anything for our anniversary, was unable to book restaurants, etc. This is still a beautiful resort, with great pools, food, and entertainment, but do yourself a favor and avoid the expensive suite packages.
