There are still a few Riviera Maya hotel deals that make you stop scrolling.

Right now, rates at The Fives Oceanfront Riviera Maya in Puerto Morelos are starting at just $115 per night for stays between May 28 and May 31, a sharp value for an oceanfront resort on this stretch of the Mexican Caribbean coast.

The pricing stands out even more because this is not one of the Riviera Maya’s giant mega-resorts. The property leans smaller, quieter and more residential in style, with oversized suites, rooftop pools and direct beach access in one of the Riviera Maya’s fastest-growing destinations.

And unlike many resorts farther south, you’re also very close to the airport here. Puerto Morelos sits between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, about 20 minutes from Cancun International Airport.

What The Resort Is Like

The biggest differentiator at The Fives Oceanfront Riviera Maya is the room product.

Many of the accommodations are oversized suites with living areas, dining space, kitchens and large terraces overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Several room categories also include multiple bedrooms, making the property particularly attractive for longer stays or small groups.

The overall feel is more boutique-style than traditional Riviera Maya all-inclusive resorts. The resort has a smaller footprint, with a more vertical design centered around the beach and rooftop pool areas instead of sprawling grounds.

The rooftop infinity pools are among the strongest features of the property, particularly the upper-level ocean-view deck overlooking Puerto Morelos beach.

The resort also includes multiple restaurants and bars, a beach club, spa facilities and direct access to the sand.

Why Puerto Morelos Keeps Getting More Popular

Puerto Morelos has quietly become one of the Riviera Maya’s most appealing alternatives to Cancun and Playa del Carmen.

The town still functions as a working coastal community, with a smaller downtown, local restaurants, beach bars and a slower pace than the larger tourism corridors to the north and south.

That balance has helped fuel a wave of hotel openings and boutique resort growth during the last several years.

Travelers increasingly want Riviera Maya resorts that feel connected to the destination itself instead of isolated inside massive resort complexes. Puerto Morelos has become one of the strongest examples of that shift.

At the same time, the location remains extremely convenient for shorter trips because of its proximity to Cancun International Airport.

You land, clear customs and can be on the beach quickly.

Why This Deal Matters

Rates under $120 per night for a Riviera Maya oceanfront resort have become increasingly difficult to find, particularly at properties with suite-style accommodations and direct beach access.

That is especially true in destinations close to Cancun, where hotel pricing has climbed steadily during the last several years alongside rising demand for the Mexican Caribbean.

The May 28-31 window falls just ahead of the heavier summer travel period, when rates across the Riviera Maya typically begin climbing again.

For travelers looking for a quick Caribbean coast getaway without spending resort-level luxury pricing, this is one of the stronger values in the Riviera Maya right now.

And with rooftop pools overlooking the Caribbean Sea, oversized suites and one of the Riviera Maya’s most accessible beach towns outside the door, The Fives Oceanfront Riviera Maya is delivering a surprisingly aggressive price point for this part of the coast
