If you want Cancun done in a five-star way, AVA Resort Cancun completely exceeded our expectations.
Located less than 15 minutes from Cancun International Airport, arrival is simple and quick. The property sits directly along the Caribbean with multiple oceanfront pools, restaurants, and lounge areas positioned to take advantage of the water views.
Every room at AVA includes a true ocean view through their Oceanfront Promise™, meaning there is no guesswork when booking your stay. Regardless of the room category, guests wake up to views of the Caribbean. The rooms are spacious, bright, and designed to highlight the water from nearly every angle.
The main pool stretches along the beachfront and offers a lively atmosphere with plenty of seating and service throughout the day. For guests looking for something different, the resort also features the 2.7-acres AVA Lagoon powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology. The lagoon offers calm, clear water for swimming, paddleboarding, and relaxing throughout the day. It creates a completely different water experience from the ocean and quickly becomes one of the most unique features of the property.
One of the things that stands out about AVA is how well it works for different types of travelers.
For families, the resort offers space to spread out along with activities designed for younger guests. The lagoon becomes a natural gathering place for families, and the resort atmosphere stays energetic without feeling overwhelming. There are plenty of places to relax while the kids stay entertained throughout the day.
For couples, the resort also offers many opportunities to slow down and enjoy the setting. Oceanfront lounges, sunset walks along the beach, and quiet corners throughout the property make it easy to turn the trip into a romantic getaway while still enjoying the amenities of the resort.
Dining at AVA includes more than a dozen restaurants across the property, giving guests a wide range of cuisines and dining environments to choose from. During our stay, we had the chance to experience a few of the standouts.
Copal focuses on Mexican cuisine with refined presentations of classic dishes. Black Iron offers a steakhouse experience with well-prepared cuts and traditional sides. Chez Moi serves French cuisine in an adults-only setting with a more intimate atmosphere for dinner.
The spa is one of the most impressive features of the resort. We started with the hydrotherapy circuit before our treatment, moving through pools and relaxation areas designed to prepare the body for the massage. The AVA Relaxing Massage was one of the best we have experienced. Guests can also book additional wellness services, including advanced treatments and full hydrotherapy sessions.
AVA holds the AAA Four Diamond designation, which reflects the service standards and overall quality of the resort. Staff members are attentive without being intrusive, and the property operates smoothly even with the size of the resort.
For travelers looking for an all-inclusive experience that combines ocean views, a unique lagoon, multiple dining options, and a strong spa program, AVA Resort Cancun delivers a well-rounded stay that works equally well for families, couples, and small group getaways.
