The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences and The Beachfront by The Fives Hotels represent two distinct ways to experience the Mexican Caribbean—and both are now competing for two of the travel industry's most recognized honors.
Playa del Carmen, Mexico.— Some awards recognize a hotel. Others signal that a distinctive approach to hospitality is earning its place on the global travel stage.
In 2026, The Fives Hotels & Residences celebrates two property nominations at the World Travel Awards , the international travel and hospitality recognition program now marking its 33rd annual edition.
The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences has been nominated for Mexico’s Leading Hotel Residences 2026 , while The Beachfront by The Fives Hotels is competing for Mexico’s Leading Adult-Only All-Inclusive Resort 2026 .
Two nominations. Two very different experiences. One shared hospitality philosophy.
The Fives Beach: When a Vacation Calls for More Than a Hotel Room
The nomination of The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences for Mexico’s Leading Hotel Residences 2026 puts the spotlight on one of the property's defining features: a way of traveling where space becomes part of the vacation itself.
Its All Residence-Style Suites® create an experience that feels closer to residential living than a conventional hotel stay. Designed with room to gather, unwind, and maintain personal space, the concept is particularly well suited for families, groups of friends, and multigenerational vacations.
It's not simply about having more space. It's about what that space makes possible: starting the morning together, enjoying separate living areas within the same accommodation, sharing a vacation without giving up privacy, and allowing a hotel to feel a little more like home.
The 2026 recognition also continues a strong nomination history for the property. The Fives Beach has appeared in the Mexico’s Leading Hotel Residences category in previous years and was also nominated globally for World’s Leading Lifestyle Hotel & Residences in both 2024 and 2025.
The Beachfront: A New Take on Adults-Only All-Inclusive Travel
Just steps away, yet built around an entirely different personality, The Beachfront by The Fives Hotels returns as a nominee for Mexico’s Leading Adult-Only All-Inclusive Resort 2026 .
Here, the rhythm changes.
The Beachfront offers a more intimate, adults-only, boutique approach to the Mexican Caribbean, where the sea takes center stage and the All-Inclusive experience becomes decidedly more personal.
With Boutique Style Suites® , culinary experiences, Caribbean-facing spaces, and an atmosphere created exclusively for adults, the property is designed for couples, getaways with friends, and travelers seeking privacy while remaining connected to everything Playa del Carmen has to offer.
The 2026 nomination builds on recognition received since the property's introduction. In 2025, The Beachfront was already nominated by the World Travel Awards for Mexico’s Leading Adult-Only All-Inclusive Resort, as well as new resort categories for Mexico and Mexico & Central America.
Two Nominations, One Story
What makes these nominations particularly meaningful isn't simply seeing two The Fives properties represented at the World Travel Awards.
It's what each category represents.
Space as Part of the Experience
A vacation experience where residence-style accommodations create room to gather, unwind, and maintain independence within the same stay.
A More Intimate All-Inclusive Experience
An adults-only approach where the Caribbean, privacy, and a more personal atmosphere define a different way to experience the destination.
One recognizes our approach to vacationing through residence-style accommodations. The other celebrates our interpretation of an adults-only All-Inclusive Caribbean escape.
Both are connected through All Senses Inclusive® , the philosophy behind The Fives Hotels & Residences and the way we create travel experiences through the senses, brought to life through All Residence-Style Suites® , À la Carte All Inclusive® , and Joy & Wellness® .
The properties are different because our travelers are different.
And perhaps that's one of The Fives' greatest strengths: understanding that there isn't just one way to experience the Mexican Caribbean.
