Great Family Vacation

We traveled to this resort at the end of January with my husband and 5 year old Daughter. This is an Excellent Family Resort and Excellent value for what you get! Yes the Rooms are out dated but they are spacious and Clean! There are areas within the resort that have been renovated. The one downside is that it is Not Beach front but we did know that when we booked but its not a far walk or Trolly ride! Excellent Food and service! We would return again but always like to try a place we have neve [... read more]r been! We would recommend this resort!

Great week with Bahia Principe

It was our third time going there and would go again. The grounds were very well kept and clean, the workers were very friendly and enthusiastic. We enjoyed the beach and activities there like volleyball and aqua exercises. The pools were clean with lots of chairs. We had a great time with the entertainment team at the main pool. They were wonderful and made us feel like family and friends. Ronaldo, Carlos, Jonathan, Yodi, Ybram, Alex, (we forget some names). The buffet restaurant was delightful [... read more] with great food choices and excellent service. Special thanks to Norma, Lucienda and the others working with them.

Excellent resort!

We enjoyed our stay at Bahia Principe Grand Coba. We had a lovely, large room and the cleaning service was very prompt. The grounds and pools were large and well maintained. The buffet was really good. The snack bar was open until 6 am which was great. The raccoons that frequented the snack bar were pretty bold but cleared off after being squirted by the waiters!! The Coatis were curious but mostly ignored us. The beach was clean and sandy, but not very big and pretty crowded. Walking into th [... read more]e water wasn't the best experience and there were a lot of sharp rocks. So sand shoes are a must. The staff was very friendly and polite and the night shows were entertaining. The drinks were really great too. We'll definitely go back. Thank you to all the staff.

Amazing resort

Everything was amazing. It was our first time at an all-inclusive resort and it exceeded our expectations. The staff were amazing and the activities were so fun. The beach area was fenomenal you could see a lot of different fish.

A Great Vacation at an Amazing Resort

Our stay at Bahia Principe Grand Coba was a pleasure and fun filled. The entertainment team did a great job keeping the guests active and involved. Staff was friendly and helpful. The kids club staff was caring and responsible for the kids while left in their care be it for small intervals of time or the full-day. The only downside was language barrier for non Spanish/Mexican speaking guests. There were good Food options to cater to all dietary needs, however the Resort should consider having [... read more] a dedicated area for pure vegetarian/vegans where the likely hood of contaminating it with use of shared spoons and tongs between veg and non-veg dishes at the counter. As a first timer on an All Inclusive Vacations, Overall it was a Great vacation experience with all my basic transportation arrangements pre-arranged. Would definitely recommend trip central.ca to friends and families.

Loved the resort!

Having a travel agent really helped with the booking process which I loved. Thank you Erin Thunder for making that process super easy and convenient. The resort was amazing. It was very beautiful and clean. The staff was really nice especially the entertainment team. They made my stay at the resort memorable.

Thank you tripcentral

We had a fabulous time at the Grand Coba resort. Excellent place to relax, and enjoy the tropics. The staff at the resort were all excellent and the resort was well maintained with fabulous landscaping. Great food with great fun. Strongly recommended to anyone.

Amazing Resort but in need of overdue upgrades!

We have enjoyed vacationing at this wonderful resort almost every year and sometimes twice a year since 2006! After an absence of 2 years because of Covid, I just returned to Coba once again for a week's vacatiion last week and found that this resort is now certainly in need of serious upgrades including the rooms and bathrooms, and all throughout the pool areas. Also, this time when we arrived at the resort after having communication with Bahia Principe Resorts saying that we would be  [... read more]welcomed as 18 time return guests at this Coba, instead, we were treated as first time quest only and offered only 3 a-la-cart visits to the many restaurants. We were told that we were no longer able to have full access to all the other three resorts which we have had for years and were not offered bathrobes or slippers of a choc treat on our pillow at night as we had been. They told us we could have access to all three other Bahia Principe Resorts if we e paid an extra $90 American money each! The last two week stay we had at Coba was in Fegruary 2020 and at that time, we were treated with the usual respect of 18 year return quests and were given all of the above plus we could have at least 10 a-la-carts for that 2 week stay. After about close to an hour discussion with various front desk staff...without being rude...... we insisted on speakng to the Manager and finally we were given the proper bracelets which allowed us to have our usual friendly treatment and our time there. My husband and I were planning on booking again in February after Christmas but at this point, I don't think I want to go through that booking in problem again. Other that I'd recommend Coba to many friends as I have in the past.

Great resort with lots of variety

We've been to the Bahia Principe 14 times now and have never been disappointed. The grounds are lovely and extensive since there are 4 hotels on the site linked by shuttles. Food is excellent with daily themes in the buffet and your choice of 9 a la carte restaurants (book early though!!). Each evening there is themed entertainment including a great Cirque de Soleil type show (extra $15), the others are all free and vary from acrobats to fire shows. Rooms are comfortable and cleaned daily wi [... read more]th sheets and towels changed daily. The in room mini bar is also restocked free daily. Drinks are as expected on an all inclusive, with many fantastic cocktails available in the lobby bar every evening. Resort pricing varies by which hotel you pick on the site with the Coba being the least expensive, but we think it's central location makes it one of the best. (Latest stay in November was approx $1300cdn/person all in including flights) Only downside is the long ride from the airport at approx 2 hrs each way. All in all a lovely resort which we can highly recommend!

Ok. Resort

The hotel Has changed a lot since our last visit . Disappointed with the amenities that were gone. Still liked. Our stay but probably won’t go back . Long time from airport to hotel. Don’t like that we could not use beach pools.

Worth it!

Had a really good time! My room was clean, and well stocked for the most part! I thought the buffet and food options were great as well, pools and bars were awesome! Beach area was a tad small for Coba guests but it wasn’t too bad. There is no food options for Coba at the beach but this really was a non issue! I ate so much at the buffet that I wasn’t hungry until well after lunch time hahaha! Honestly, everything was clean, the staff were unreal and it was truly a great trip.

Honest Review

This is a solid 3.5/4 star resort in it's current condition. The grounds are lovely, the staff are friendly and hard working, and the food is above average. Great pools, the WIFI is strong throughout the resort (even the beach), and everything is very clean. The only real negative for us was the condition of the rooms ... they are dated and worn and really need to be refurbished! A couple of suggestions. We used Air Canada Vacations and our flight landed on time at 6:40 PM. We did not ge [... read more]t to the resort until 10 PM as it was a 2 hour transfer. The buffet was closed and we struggled to find food. The resort is massive and can be disorienting so it would be best if you can arrive in daylight. Also, while not on the beach, the beach is walkable. We stayed in villa 2 (recommend Villas 1-7) and it was a 7 minute walk to the beach and a 7 minute walk to the main complex/buffet. We stayed in PDC and Tulum earlier this year and our beach experience was ruined by the sargassum (seaweed). Thankfully, the beach here was seaweed free! If the gym is important to you, look elsewhere as the gym at Grand Coba was small and not well equipped. Finally, friends we met had a room on the 1st floor of their Villa and found noise from the room above to be a problem. Our room was on the 3rd floor and we heard nothing (noting there are no elevators).

Five Star Resort

We enjoyed our vacation at Coba, and highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit this resort, great service, good food, rooms were very clean, transportation to & from the beach was excellent. Beach was amazing, we got to see a lot of fish, also had a fun time feeding them. We were blessed with good weather the entire seven days, the pools were amazing, had a great bar, also great night entertainment.

Not as good

I have been to this resort twice before this time in 2013 and in 2015. Both times you could use all the pools, bars,buffets,beaches and shows no matter which part of the resort you booked into. NOW you can only use the resort you booked into things. If you book into Coba, you can only use Coba Beach, buffet, bars, pools, shows. They give you an arm band when you arrive letting all the other areas know you aren't welcome there, and they are strict about not letting you use the other areas.We Won [... read more]'t be back.

My 50th Birthday Trip

To be totally honest everything was OK with the exception of the following .. 1 King Bed and a couch bed , never heard from the desk about moving to to a room with two beds AC was poor , ceiling fan had one speed Slow .. called the desk, they sent two set of repair personnel twice and yet never offered to switch the room .. I won't be revisiting this resort or chain based on this experience

Okay Resort

Hotel was great. Food, staff and pool. My room had no A/C, we did notify them but nothing. The beach is very rocky, so make sure you have water shoes. Everything else was great. Jose, our server was the best.

Horrible resort

The rooms of the resort are so dainty. Definitely not a 5 star hotel. Would never come back here. The hotel lacks English speaking workers. Bunch of locals everywhere. Buffet is the same selection of food everyday.

SERVICE WAS GREAT FOOD CHOICES NOT GREAT

We had a nice stay. Service was good. People very helpful and friendly. Food choices could be better. Only had bacon one morning. Only food choices are fish and pork. No Beef A bit if chicken. Over all we had a nice vacation.

Bahia coba

The resort is fairly large but easy to navigate...staff were exceptional...pool layouts made it somewhat difficult to find shaded areas.....access to beach was by trolly but only 5 min trip...buffet and ala cartes were really good ...all in all our experience went well ...only change we would like to see is quicker trolley times as some waits were almost 20 mins

Amazing time

We had a great time at coba. Food was great and lots of it. All the workers worked so hard always smiling and saying hi. Hotel management were right on the ball to make sure everything was perfect. Rooms were dated but nice and always kept clean. Very big resort and always something going on.
