Quinta Avenida

For those of you that question this resort, here is my opinion. Resort is beautiful Friendly staff with top notch customer service Beautiful rooms with plenty of space awesome pools, lazy river & entertainment Close enough to main area of Cancun, yet far enough away that you’re away from the crazies ( were there during spring break) As far as the beach/gulf waters go….good pics from afar, but yes there is some seaweed. How much seaweed can be change each day depending on the weather and amount of wind. Up close, the water is browner than some like, but it’s still swimmable as long as the weather allows. It wouldn’t hurt to bring water shoes, as you never know what is beneath you. For those of you that read about the crocodile 🐊 in the water. Yes, it’s true that they shut down the beach for a most of one of the days that we were there. I spoke to several employees ( I speak Spanish) and they said that it is pretty rare for the crocs to come out, especially into the salt water as they are not normally salt water animals. The resort is surrounded by bright green mangroves and that is a good crocodile habitat. It also makes for some good pics of nature! Most of the food was pretty good! Be sure and get some of the tacos at the buffet, they are 🔥🔥🔥🔥! The hibachi grill was an experience and all of the seafood that we had was great! The kids were safe (6 , 6 and 10) and had a blast! We went with another family and we will all definitely be back!

Hotel Esencia is an absolute gem! Hands down my favorite 5 star property we have ever stayed at. It’s great for both families and couples. Beef Bar restaurant, although very expensive, is unreal and worth every penny! The beach is perfect and the lagoon Manatee tour with Pansqual is a must! A few minor complains are that we were charged a ghastly price for a second round of covid testing after our original flight was canceled so we had to retest. The tests were only advertised as complimentary all over their social media and website. Also don’t expect immediate 5 star service as staffing is quite sparse due to COVID-19 (which is understandable). With that being said I give the property 5 stars without question and would highly recommend to everyone!!

Mucha cortesía por parte del personal , restaurante cafe urbano , buenisimo para el desayuno, y aparte del otro lado de la calle literalmente, hay 5 restaurantes de antojos mexicanos. Masajes super relajantes , playa limpia ... excelente servicio 11/10
