How was The Fives Hotels & Residences born?
The Fives Hotels & Residences is a subsidiary of TM Real Estate Group, the largest private real estate developer in Spain and one of the most reliable brands in Europe in the tourist residence market.
When we decided to develop the project, we thought about generating spaces that would invite us to create unforgettable memories for all our clients, where it was possible to live a complete sensory experience, that would allow us to know new places, relax, enjoy, be surprised, have fun and get excited, with a service of excellence and constant innovation, generating memories that always go back to a great adventure.
With The Fives we seek to create a unique experience that awakens each of the five senses under the concept of “All Senses Inclusive.” We conquer the taste with internationally renowned chefs and expert mixologists, willing to thrill any palate with exquisite dishes and drinks that activate the Taste buds that promise unique culinary flavors. DeWakening the smell with natural aromas emitted by trees, plants, flowers and the sea breeze. To estimate the view, we use a well-defined aesthetic, full of beauty, luxury and good taste, generating positive emotions within spaces designed to fall in love at first sight. Harmonious textures and designs, as well as landscapes full of nature generate feelings of well-being and belonging.
In each property we offer a delicate selection of ambient music to delight your ears and complement the sensory experience, achieving a perfect balance between tranquility and comfort. Natural sounds like the song of the birds in the morning, the breaking of the waves or the wind moving the leaves of the trees, have their charm and liven up the atmosphere.
What markets do they target with the different hotels?
In The Fives, we target luxury families, romantic couples and weddings.
What kind of services do you offer in each one?

After these years of operations, what has been the evolution of the company?
Ten years ago, The Fives was not only new in the Riviera Maya, Mexico, but also in the hotel industry. Throughout these 10 years, we have acquired great knowledge about the industry, and specifically about what travelers are looking for in a vacation at a large resort. We have learned that customers want to be stimulated, surprised and delighted. Thanks to this knowledge, we have developed the concept of sensory hospitality, which we have launched as All Senses Inclusive. Under our unique All Senses Inclusive concept, the portfolio of the one, two and three bedroom resort brand goes beyond traditional lifestyle brands, offering authentic local experiences that awaken the five senses. Each year, we have added more sensory improvements, which has been part of the company's evolution as we grow in the collection of three resort properties.

What is your human resources policy to guarantee the quality of service?
Our policy of human resources to guarantee the quality of the service is to promote in all our collaborators the culture of service The Fives, through which they identify and integrate with it and reaffirm the commitment to generate exceptional experiences to all our guests, customers and suppliers.

What are the projects that the chain has in portfolio for the short and medium term?
In the short term we plan on the launch of our All Senses Inclusive experience concept as well as the launch of our ASSET agent program. The program will be launched in December, including the details mentioned above.
In the medium term we have the opening of our 3rd. development, The Fives Oceanfront - Puerto Morelos.
Up to this point, the Puerto Morelos area has seen the development of low-budget accommodations, or large mega-resorts with standard hotel rooms. There are almost no all-inclusive luxury properties in the area, except one, and none in the town of Puerto Morelos. The Fives Oceanfront Puerto Morelos will present our luxurious rooms and the All Senses Inclusive concept in a hyperlocal environment that will allow guests to live the experience of a quiet fishing village, without giving up all the comforts for which our properties are known.
