Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancun
Cancun’s stylish adults-only getaway
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience goes beyond how your surroundings look — how your visit makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in 1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star
These properties deliver an outstanding experience and consistently offer a highly customized level of service.
Four-Star

The first look into the lobby of Live Aqua Cancun All Inclusive Adults Only should tell you everything you need to know about this luxury all-inclusive — there are sleek water features, cozy sitting areas and panoramic windows looking out over the central gardens and the ocean beyond.
In other words, it’s a modern, adults-only hotel that aims to pamper you stylishly. Live Aqua’s signature aromatherapy collection gives off hints of scents like citrus or eucalyptus, evoking different moods as you move from one area of the hotel to the next. And there are a lot of areas to get to, from the luxe spa and buzzy restaurants to the serene pools and myriad beach activities.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- The intimately designed Spa Aqua provides an extensive menu of high-end massages and treatments, as well as facilities like a sauna, a steam room, eucalyptus inhalation and hydro-reflexology.
- The luxury hotel boasts one of the top locations in Cancun’s famed Hotel Zone, directly across the street from La Isla Shopping Village (known by locals simply as Plaza La Isla) —a favorite spot for travelers and locals alike to enjoy shopping at designer boutiques, unbelievable dining options and serene strolls along the lagoon at sunset.
- The adults-only setting makes it easy to fully give in to relaxation while cooling off in the tiered pool levels or in the beachfront infinity pool.
- The beach area itself represents a world of whites and blues: the Caribbean Sea with ever-intensifying azure and cyan tones hit the white sand in relaxing waves.
- An array of alfresco restaurants ensures that you can satisfy almost any craving (be it Asian fusion, classic Italian, authentic Mexican or a juicy steak) without sacrificing the stunning ocean views.
Things to Know
- The excitement of Punta Cancun with all its nightclubs, shopping and dining lies only five minutes north by city bus or by taxi. Of course, that’s assuming you want to tear yourself away from Live Aqua’s spectacular white sand beach.
- There is a pool concierge whose aim is to cater to your every whim, and a reservation in one of the curtained cabana beds promises a day of indulgent amenities.
- For snacks between meals, head to the Sushi Station or to the Café Deli Boutique, which serves up Starbucks coffee.
The Rooms
- In your room, you’ll find contemporary furnishings clad in dark woods, Egyptian cotton sheets, luxe bathrooms and in many of the rooms, great views of the water.
- Select your favorite scent from an in-room aromatherapy menu to set the mood, be it for a romantic cocktail for two or a good night’s sleep.
- Those booking Aqua Club rooms — or one of the 36 suites — have access to the fifth-floor Aqua Club, which has sweeping views of the Caribbean and special amenities like Internet access and use of a private lecture room.
- An upgrade to the signature Aqua Suite gives you an open space with a living area, personal terrace and circular Jacuzzi tub.
The Restaurants
- Just below the pool area sits a small beach shack called the Sea Corner, the best place to find the ever-coveted Mexican fish tacos, along with Caribbean favorites like ceviches and tostadas.
- The alluring Azur restaurant is located on the other end of the pool, highlighted by a spacious deck with ocean views; it serves an avant-garde fusion of Mediterranean, Latin and Asian cuisine for lunch and dinner.
- Set beneath the branches of a huge tree, the cozy Varenna serves a simple but tempting menu of Italian cuisine cooked in a traditional brick oven, while Inlaakech offers just a few tables under the cover of tree branches and a small palapa, where you can reserve a seating for a flavorful dinner of fine steaks and lobster.
- Inside the hotel, the Latin-inspired author cuisine at Mb is served up in a dark and sultry ambiance, while main buffet restaurant Siete is adorned with seven pillars displaying images of Mexican artists and pop culture icons.
