What It Means to Live Aqua

A stay at Live Aqua Cancun isn’t just a vacation, it’s an experience. To Live Aqua means to live free and easy, letting it all flow through you like the turquoise waters of the Caribbean surrounding you. The vibe here manages to be both sleek and sophisticated as well as welcoming and comfortable. On arriving, you can’t help but be wowed by lobby’s the floor-to-ceiling views of the ocean as you’re handed a signature welcome drink and offered a relaxing hand massage. It’s a welcome that pretty much sums up what we love most about this resort: it’s all about the senses. Lots of resorts can boast delicious cuisine and great views, but Live Aqua has those and so much more.

Sight

With every room facing out towards the ocean, there isn’t a bad view in the house. Look up while you’re relaxing at the pool and you may see the resorts resident tropical birds—Billy, Goyo and Tita—flying overhead. Be sure to take a picture of yourself with them.

Sound

A vacation here is like being in a movie with your own soundtrack. The resort has its own in-house DJ, who they refer to as their “mixologist.” From chilling by the pool to feeling the beat at Egos lounge, the music sets the mood, without being intrusive.

Touch

In addition to the complimentary hand massage on arrival, guests staying in Aqua Club accommodations can take advantage of complimentary foot massages each day by the pool. And don’t skip the spa—it’s truly amazing, with an extensive menu of sumptuous treatments like honey scrubs and chocolate body wraps.

Smell

Live Aqua has five signature aromatherapy scents to choose from in your room—including Tranquility (Lemongrass and Spearmint) or Energy (Orange, Grapefruit and Ginger). Chocoholics, take note—the fifth floor Aqua Club lounge is filled with the scent of chocolate. Stop by the boutique before you leave to bring these heavenly scents home with you and keep the memory of your vacation fresh in your mind.

Taste

With seven restaurants, the resort offers a wide range of culinary experiences, with an extra avant-garde molecular cuisine flair to delight your taste buds. Which brings us to the Hidden Garden, which serves Asian fusion cuisine in a truly magical outdoor setting. The entrance to this gem is easily missed, but once you start down the arbor-covered path, you’ll suddenly feel like you’ve discovered Shangri-La. More than just a restaurant, the Hidden Garden is a delightful sensory experience.
