Beautiful Resort.

Big and beauty resort, room very clean, food was good. Great A La Carte restaurant.Beach at this time wasn't good with a lot of seaweed and too much mosquito...But very good staff and reasonable price ....

Beautiful resort!

The Bahia Principe Coba is a beautiful resort, great for kids with the waterpark and kids activities all day. Too bad Coba vacationers can no longer use Akumal beach and facilities this was a huge let down. We have stayed at this resort many times and Akumal beach was by far the nicest place to situate for the day and now it is exclusive so no drinks or food for Coba people. We were also disappointed that the bars in the lobby close at 11pm every night. We have small children who go to bed at 10 [... read more]pm (the latest) so one of us would sneak out for drinks to bring back to the room but only until 11pm - not good! We were told that if we wanted drinks past 11pm to head to the Hacienda, that is a good trek on a trolly (about 1/2 hour, total time) and what they are really trying to do is force you to the new casino and pay for drinks at one of the fancy (non-inclusive) bars - not good! We have stayed at all-inclusive resorts in Mexico about 15 times and compared to the Iberostar Lindo we would say the Bahia has a lot to learn about what all-inclusive means. I would recommend this resort to families who are not looking to go to the beach and are looking for good bang for their buck. The food is good and the service in the buffet is sketchy. There were times we didnt even get served wine at dinner or coffee at breakfast. We will most likely stay here again as the price is always right especially when traveling with kids but our expectations of this resort have begun to dwindle.

Fantastic Vacation

It was our first time to an all exclusive resort and we were unbelievably impressed. The Coba resort was huge and very clean plus you also got access to the Tulum resort. Food was great at both but id give the win to Coba. All staff were extremely friendly and really appreciated when you tipped. We had a few days of bad weather but there were so many things to do that we didnt mind that much. The one bad thing was that the beach was covered in seawood from the big storm. There are a wide variety [... read more] of pools to take our minds of that though. The night time shows in the theatre were also very good. I'll definately be coming back next year.

Wonderful Vacation at Grand Bahia Principe Coba

This was our first family trip to Mexico. Our stay at Grand Bahia Principe Coba did not disappoint us. Amazing resort! Selection of foods are great & service of the staff is impeccable. We will plan our next trip to this resort.

Nothing outstanding, but met expectations.

The service was fine, nice staff, but most resorts seem to go above and beyond which the staff here did not. They were not prepared for rain. Resort does not have a nice beach, and tons of seaweed!! The hotel had a lot of fun evening activities but quickly shut down at 11pm, after the general family activities, everyone was encouraged to attend the disco. The disco was the most lively I have seen at a resort which was fun, so there is not a obligation to go to the city. The rain really limited [... read more] great service. They did not seem prepared. Water was everywhere in the resort; main lobby, restaurants and the hotel rooms. Everyone was supposed to have a umbrella which was not available. Overall the hotel is average, and as expected for the price, nothing exceptional or worth going back for.

Amazing Service, Clean and Fantastic Food

We went away with my entire wife's family a total of 8 adults, 2 children and our baby. Upon checkin we has a small hiccup as they had us all placed in different buildings. I understand even though we requested it with our travel its not always guaranteed. After some begging we end up in building beside eachother. After that is when the FUN started!! Im not much of a beach guy so being so close to the pool and kids pool area was fantastic. To get to the beach you would have to hop on a little tr [... read more]ain and they would take you there. If you are a beach person stay at Tulum. The food was as my father in law said impeccable! The buffet was great, Le Gourmet was one of the best a la carte i've eaten at and the Mexican on the last night was by far the best time we had at dinner. The waiters made sure we were satified and then brought out the party favours for photos and tequila! They definitely made the night. We found all the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful, the ladies who clean out room everyday made sure we had everything we needed and provided us with more then enough water for the baby. It was overall an amazing trip spent with the family.

Good Hotel

This hotel is a great hotel but have a couple of issues. The rooms are very damp and feels like your sleeping on wet sheets. Also Akumel is not part of the royal golden club and you cant get served on the beach . You have to go to Coba beach and if you have young children or older adults this beach is not user friendly with all of the rocks. I was disappointed by this. I have been to this resort 4 times and will make sure I book Akumel next time.

GREAT RESORT!

Everything was well maintained, food was great, service was always top notch. This was my second time to this resort and would go back again. Plenty of activities to do, Lots of wildlife, and great weather, No complaints.

Awesome resort ! Amazing service!!

This resort was fantastic!... The room and facilities were beautiful and immaculate ... The beach was filled with seaweed which couldn't be helped due to Mother Nature but the staff worked hard all day to clean it up .... I would highly recommend!

Underwhelming Resort

When we walked into this resort, our jaws dropped to the floor. However, our experiences afterwards were disappointing to say the least. We arrived early at the resort (around 1 pm), however we were not allowed to check in to our room, book any excursions or dinner reservations or take out our swim suit from our luggages UNTIL seconds before 3 pm (which is when we were allowed to check in to our rooms). I doubt that there were absolutely no rooms available before this time. The staff were less t [... read more]hen apologetic or courteous with us. The rooms looked like motel rooms... with the stained furniture and lamps, I did not feel like I was on vacation. This was a girls trip and our rooms were right next to the kids pool which was very disappointing as we had to travel to the Tulum (which was approximately 10-15 minutes by through their trolley guys) every day to enjoy our time with some younger adults instead of a bunch of kids and families. The Coba resort was verrry far from the beach...which was sad until we got to the beach which was COVERED in seaweed. Literally half the water and sand were covered in seaweed. I'm not even over exaggerating. On our last day though, they were cleaning up the seaweed with huge tractors. This was a HUGE resort and there were lot's of things going on but we didn't know ANYTHING unless some entertainment staff we befriended told us. Very poor organization. The resort was very disappointing but our experience with the amazing excursions, Playa Del Carmen and COCO BONGO were some of the BEST times of our life! :)

Excellent Stay

We spent 1 week at Bahia Principe Coba and loved our stay! From our arrival where check in went smoothly and our king size spacious room was kept clean every day! The staff is just wonderful and helpful at all times! The food was super yummy.......do not acknowledge anyone who complains! There is something for everyone and then some! the ground are immaculate, pool areas fun for everyone and I loved the beach! Definitely recommend this to everyone thinking of a family vacation!

Great Resort, but limited at night

This resort had some great food and was very clean. The beach was pristine. However the pools and beach are all closed after dark and there was not much to do in the evening. I would highly suggest more available at night.

Great resort

Overall the hotel was great! The rooms were pretty standard but they were clean! The service was good not great and the food was good...great selection! The hotel was quite far from the beach but they do have carts to carry you! The grounds were good...well taken care of ! The kids club was good but didn't think there was a lot of supervision! I wouldn't leave my 4 year old there alone!

Coba Disappointed

Second trip to Coba in 2 years, disappointed in what is now "Coba Beach" beach huts in NEED of repair to provide shade, seaweed cleanup lasted well into mid morning. Last year able to use Ackmual beach which is sandy very little seaweed and buffet for convenience, this year restricted so much more back and forth to Tulum/Coba for lunches etc. With Coba orange bracelet was denied access at Tulum lunch buffet as hostess said beach cover-up over full one piece suit was too short.........at the same [... read more] time a guest with a see through wrap and thong suit breezed into the buffet......... I totally felt our Coba bracelets was the reason for the denied access. We insisted the hostess be reasonable when we saw the see through cover-up and then the hostess let us into the buffet......very upset & disappointed!!!! Package supposed to have upgrade to "Golden Lobby " first 3 days requested Diet Coke in our mini fridge with no success, also stopped for beach towels (part of upgrade) however unavailable. After visit in 2014 nothing but great things to say encouraged friends to join us in 2015 however 2015 trip was a huge disappointment so will not be returning.

Awesome Family Trip

I did not pick this resort as it was picked for a wedding our son was in ..our whole family decided to go...we were in awe of the resort ..lovely resort ..great rooms ..fabulous food ..we will come again.

Most impressed

Everything was fantastic! We will return with our adult children and grand children. We wanted to relax. We did. We wanted comfort. We got it. We wanted great service. It happened. We walked the beach. We found the food to be excellent. Well done Grand Bahia!

Just ok!

The beach was not good, they tried to keep it clean but so much seaweed it was impossible. Our room was fine but we never received the best service, our fridge was barely ever stocked nor could our maid speak any English. the food was just ok, I have been to Mexico before and the food was wonderful. the pools were great and fairly clean.

Bahia principe coba

The grounds were nice, however the service at the buffet was not good. They were always out of everything, and I had to ask 3 different people for a drink before we got them. The room was nice and in a good location, however it was our second room, as the first, had a broken air conditioner and mold in the room. The second smelled musty but overall was not too bad.

Nice clean, modern resort.

The resort was clean, buildings were modern, and all amenities in our room worked great. Air conditioning was good, shower worked well with lots of hot water. The pools were great, although often difficult to find a chair as there was high occupancy during our week stay. Negative point was its not beach front, which we knew, but the next resort is no longer part of the same company, so no access through this property to the beach as was available during a previous visit here. Inconvenient to tak [... read more]e shuttle to the beach. Food was good, but not excellent. Turn down service only 2 of 7 nights.

Good value

Good value for your money. Rooms were clean but dated. It is large resort that is well maintained and helpful staff. This is not a quiet resort, lots of party people late at night in hallways and in neighboring suites. This is also very fat from the beach, shuttles are provided which usual 5 to 10 mins wait.
