My wife and I just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary and decided to take her and my daughter for a weekend stay at Azul Fives condo resort (Playa del Carmen condos for sale)
It was a very interesting experience for me as I know the complex fairly thoroughly from touring and selling Playa del Carmen real estate properties, yet to actually spend time there as a tourist, is a whole different feeling!
For me, on the top highlights definitely had to be the spa / massage treatment. This is called Vassa spa, and is quite the facility. We requested a ‘couples’ session which first consists of the 60 mins unwinding in the seperate areas for women and men. There you find a steam room, sauna and 2 types of jacuzzi: one hot water and one very chilly (I couldn’t handle that one!). The staff pampers you with fresh fruit and damp cloths with aromatherapy scents. Then we had our couple massage session by professionals, in a darkened, very spacious room filled with more soothing scents and relaxing music. I left feeling extremely replenished.
The food in the restaurants / snack bars are all totally delicious (even room service!) and in my opinion, much better than some places as its also served fresh. Most resorts run the full buffet which food can be cold or stale from sitting too long where as, for just a little longer wait, you get 5 star quality meals. Thomas explains these in more detail in his Mexico real estate blog.Â
I think my 2 year daughter’s highlight had to be the Azulito kids club, which is sponsored Fisher Price. They have several rooms with toys for kids of ages: gym setup with a pool of balls (a fav for my daughter), slides, trampoline. A room for arts and crafts, a T.V.room with video games and movies. There’s even a room with 2 bedrooms and a crib for siesta’s. (yes I was tempted to sneak a nap). They even have a small kiddy pool outside with games and activities. There is a planned schedule of fun-filled activities throughout the day.
The other major highlight are the pools. We had a unit that accessed direct to the pool and snack bar. My daughter is totally a water baby and just loves splashing and swimming with papa. The pools are great for those who want exercise, as they are like rivers and wind along through the condos. There is also a sweet infinity pool, with swim-up bar right at the beach, and wow the views from here are fantastic. This is where most of the guests are during the day.
To sum up, it was an incredible weekend. The units are very large, top quality and super comfortable. The jacuzzi tub was a treat too. We’re already talking about visiting again and inviting family. There are still some great units left for sale by the developer and I highly recommend having  a ‘hand’s on’ experience here in this resort and I expect they can ‘wow’ you too!
