"Our room was amazing ! Made our trip sooo much better ! We had the time of our lives making great memories at this resort ! We ESPECIALLY loved Micheal the mixologist in the lobby ! He was amazing ! We will definitely be making another trip to this hotel in the near future ! "

"The staff was amazing! It’s a smaller property with not very many places to lay by the pool. The beach chairs aren’t very comfortable, they sag and you can feel the crossbars. The rooms aren’t soundproof at all, so you hear everything in the hallway. Or was a good value though, and we enjoyed our time!"

"Rating: 4.8/5 ​Our stay at Live Aqua Cancun was fantastic. The pool layout is excellent, offering a perfect balance between a lively swim-up bar and designated quiet areas for relaxation. I cannot stress this enough: the resort is kept immaculately clean. The staff across the board were friendly, and the food was consistently wonderful. ​For those considering an upgrade, we booked through the VIP Club, and the club staff and butlers were exceptional—they truly elevated the experience. ​Areas for Improvement ​While our trip was nearly perfect, there are two things to keep in mind: ​Corporate Event Interference: Occasionally, the hotel hosts events for outside companies that can intrude on the guest experience. During our stay, a pool and the hot tub were closed to accommodate private parties. It would be better if these were hosted in areas that close earlier (like the swim-up bar at 6:00 PM) to avoid displacing guests from facilities that stay open until 7:00 PM. ​Nightlife Scale: The onsite nightclub and bars are fun but significantly smaller than what you might find at other major resorts. This didn't negatively impact my trip, but it’s worth noting if high-energy dancing is a priority for your itinerary. Beach cleanup fee: The hotel charges a 5 dollar clean up fee for the beach. ​Overall Verdict: I highly recommend Live Aqua for its service and atmosphere. I would definitely return! Also make sure to go to MB for habanero soup. "
