Keep reading for our full review of this amazing adults-only resort.
The Look of Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancun
From the outside, Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancun looks like most upscale beach resorts with its modern architecture and sleek design. On the inside, a sun-drenched lobby area awaits, complete with a tranquil fountain, elegant seating areas, and expansive windows overlooking the gardens and the ocean. The al fresco areas are equally impressive — and Instagram-worthy — with a beachfront infinity pool and an additional tiered pool complex. While the 11 bars and restaurants — including a beachfront seafood spot, a contemporary steakhouse, and a beach-chic Mediterranean haunt — are each distinctively designed, they’re all super stylish and inviting.
The 371 recently remodeled rooms and suites are bright and airy with contemporary furnishings, light wooden accents, and crisp white linens. Adjustable lighting, an in-room aromatherapy menu, and automated curtains add an extra-tranquil touch. For a true treat, spring on an Aqua Club-level room or suite, offering additional perks like club access and butler services — and, in some cases, complimentary pool or beach cabanas and daily 20-minute massages.

While the resort is unapologetically chic, the overall vibes are laid-back and relaxed: Both the common areas and individual rooms feature aromatherapy to set the (tranquil) tone.
