Daily Excursions
An incentive trip earns its name when nobody feels scheduled. So every day carried more than one thing to do, running at the same time, and people picked on the morning. A full-day catamaran with lunch on the water. Tulum and a cenote swim. Ziplining. A cooking class. Snorkeling off the beach, paint and sip, spa treatments, a volleyball tournament, and early riser pilates on the roof for anyone up before the rest of the company.
Every one of them was booked, confirmed and paid ahead of the trip, with transfers timed to the group and packed lunches for the dietary requirements that needed them. Allaway was on site for all five days, so the only decision anyone had to make was which one they fancied.
Team Building
The centerpiece of the week was a private dinner on Isla Mujeres. On the Friday the group left the pier by boat, crossed to the island, and sat down together at Travelers Table — one long table, a set menu, no departments and no seating plan. For a company whose people work across two continents and mostly meet through a screen, it was the only evening all seventy-five were in the same place doing the same thing.
It was not the only one that worked. The rooftop lip sync battle, the beach volleyball tournament, the fiesta dinner with folklore dancers, the group photo before dessert — the program was built so that none of the team building ever announced itself as team building. Nobody was put in a breakout room. They just kept ending up together.
The Venue
The Fives Oceanfront carried the whole week. The welcome dinner on the beach, cocktail hours and the lip sync battle on the rooftop, the Mexican fiesta at Al Mare, lunches at Ro Marley, the spa, four beach cabanas held daily, the pool, the volleyball court on the sand, and a lobby bar open to midnight every night. Seventy-five people, five days, one address — nobody needed a taxi to get to dinner, and every excursion left from the same lobby.
That matters more than it sounds. A venue that can absorb a full group, a private dinner, six concurrent activities and a late bar without anything feeling borrowed is rare. Every employee came back with positive feedback — on the property and on the week.
