My favourite all inclusive to date!

So many good things to say about this resort but first let me dispel some negative comments. The staff (Fatima our fav) were amazing. Extremely polite and very attentive to any requests from the restaurants , bars, front counter etc… in 7 days, we never seen or had a negative or rude interaction. We received the same service if we tipped or didn’t, keep in mind the tradition of tipping is at the end of the service. Bring lots of US $1 bills. The staff make about $12 -$18 USD for a full  [... read more]8-12 hour day. Even a dollar tip is big in their world. The room was clean and no issues… we needed an extension cord and it was delivered in less than an hour. Cleaned every day. I accidentally left an envelope with about $30 usd on the dresser for the day and it was there when I got back. I should have put it in the safe. Very honest cleaning staff! The pools and activities were fun. It says no pool chairs can be reserved, like all resorts that say this, you still can and do it and no one says anything… get out there at 6:30 am! The sea weed on the beach is expected, it’s that time of the year and nature. Some tips: 1) on the fay you arrive, book your restaurants immediately. Brazilian restaurant fills up fast. The Japanese one is amazing, reserve the seat by the grill so you get a show. 2) book a group bike ride early so you can see all three resorts and where the Casino and market are located. 3) when buying something in the market or Playa de Carma (sp) barter with the merchants. If they offer $30 usd, you should be able to get it for $15-20 at the most. They love to highball to start with. 4) Pool chairs, see above comments. 5) lunches, all kinds of locations. We found an amazing lunch place called the “Truck Stop”, near villa #29. Best chicken wings ever for medium or hot. We will return!

10/10

This was our first time in Mexico. This resort was absolutely amazing. It was so clean, the staff was so helpful and friendly. The beach was a bit of a disappointment because of the size and the coral. But it was also very clean. This will be our destination for years to come

Not what we expected

Although the hotel was clean and maintained there clearly was not enough staff to handle the number of people at the resort. There were not enough lounge chairs or available shade for respite from the sun. There were very few staff monitoring use of masks and maintaining social distancing. If you cannot walk any distance or drag yourself and luggage up stairs do not vacation at this hotel. The hotel is spread out and requires a lot of walking or use of the trolley buses just to get to all meals. [... read more] You will also spend up to two hours on a bus from the airport as guests are dropped off at various hotels enroute. Rooms were not adequately air conditioned and we woke up to a hot room every morning. Main restaurant was extremely hot as well with ceiling fans running but inadequate a/c. The a la carte restaurant was lovely and a very enjoyable meal and service. Unfortunately it was near impossible to book the three dinners in the a la carte restaurants as they were mostly closed. We could only book two dinners even though we attempted to book five days in advance. The booking site was not user friendly neither was the online check in site.

Bahia Principe Coba

My husband and I have returned from vacationing at the Coba .We have probably just had one of the best vacations ever .This Resort is absolutely beautiful , great food ,great staff .We have nothing negative to say.Covid procedures are in place and we felt quite safe while there. Only complaint would be that the trip wasn’t long enough and bring your water shoes for the beach .There is a lot of coral. Can’t wait to go again.Lastly Thank you to the best travel agent Rachel .You are a jewel  [... read more]and went above and beyond for us .We cannot thank you enough♥️🌴🌞🩴🎉🥂🕶🩱🧳😁

Meh

I would say 3.5 stars. We went to this resort for March Break and it was OK. We’ve been to better places for sure, we met great people and have a good time because we are able to brush certain things off but we wouldn’t return. FOOD AND DRINKS: First off, nobody mentioned the two closed restaurants which I feel should’ve been mentioned before confirming our trip. You can only book three a la cartes which sucks as we wanted a week of date nights after a few years at home. They’re pr [... read more]etty important to us. The a la cartes weren’t very good except for the Brazilian. The buffet was super repetitive but fine. ENTERTAINMENT: The bars and entertainment ends quite early 12pm for music and 1am for drinks so if you’re wanting to be out and enjoying this isn’t for you. The entertainment was okay, but the team wasn’t lively and charismatic during the day. They aren’t half of what I have experienced in the past as far as creating daytime fun and welcoming atmosphere. WELCOME: The bus ride at 2.5hrs from the airport SUCKED. The welcome wasn’t there. Our first room door didn’t work, we were given a smelly joint room which we denied and were finally given a third one. Rooms are okay but need an update, but we didn’t really care about them. BEACH: You have to take a trolly to the beach. It isnt a walk away. It is small and loaded with rocks in the shoreline. There aren’t many loungers and you are limited to blue chairs whereas other resorts can come over and use our chairs and bar facilities. POOLS: There are two big pools with bars which is great. There’s a third tiny quite pool which was more just a big jacuzzi for anyone wanted alone peaceful time. The pool bar gets busy and it’s hard to get a drink at times. The bars and the pool closed at 6pm which I felt was early and should be more like 7-8pm. OVERALL: The resort was OK but definitely no 5 star. We are pretty easy to please but we were just extra dissapointed after splurging an extra few hundred for a better resort after two crappy years. This is comparable to a 500-700 dollar cheaper resort. I’d say you’re much better off at one of the other two Bahia principe hotels as they’ve been updated and are closer to the beach but we weren’t allowed in them really. Only they were able to use our resort.

Great Resort - Staff made it special

Well maintained property. The rooms are a little dated compared to the other hotels on this giant resort. The staff made it special for us. Always a friendly smile and conversation. Temperature checks entering the front of the hotel and at all restaurants. Have to wear a glove when using the buffets. Some people seemed to ignore that requirement.

Best resort so far

Can't say enough about everything about this resort, from the awesome welcome when we arrived, the courtsy from the staff to the great service. Grounds were very well keep up no garbage anywhere on the ground. Very clean. The staff went above and beyond for all our needs. The food was second to none and the availability was great. The entertainment was also perfect. So much to see and explore. Very quiet resort yet so much happening. We have already started planning our next trip there but with  [... read more]12 of us this time. Very much recommend Coba as a safe friendly resort with all your needs taken care of. Thank you everyone there for your hospitality.

Fantastic resort!

We loved our stay here. The staff and service were wonderful. Lots of things to do...or not and the food was fantastic. Resort is well maintained and the staff work extremely hard. Very pleasurable experience...even better the second time around!

Loved it!

First time we’ve been to a resort, first time in Riviera Maya, and we loved it. The resort is incredible, the service is amazing and our experience was so fantastic. I would definitely return to this area.

Great stay again

This was a great stay for us. Be warned, the resort is large. I logged the distance around the coba and its around 1.5 km, so get ready for some walking. There are carts which can take you to various locations, but their primary purpose is to take guests to the beach, to the main Hacienda (store/ entrance) and to the other resort lobbies. The staff were very prepared for the increased health situations, with all of them being masked, and temperature checks being done at the buffets.  [... read more]The food was great, and we got the selection of the a la cartes that we wanted. Note: i would recommend downloading the app for the resort. Once you have your reservation confirmation, you were able, five days prior to arrival, to check in with a lot of information and also book a la cartes. Its also had the schedule of entertainment for the resort, which was quite handy, as the resort had good wi-fi coverage in most places, which is good considering the size.

Resort was okay

The pools were nice. The ocean floor was all rock so you couldn't swim in the ocean. It was a bad experience for me. I arrived in Cancun and there was no shuttle. I contacted the resort and told to take a taxi and would be reimbursed the $225 US which they denied at the resort. Then I was charged an additional $200 US for some mystery tax that no one else had to pay that I met. My third and last trip to Mexico and 1st and last trip with tripcentral and Air Canada. Very disappointed.

Good resort

Hotel is nice. Has 4 different hotels on the territory. You dont have to walk there are little cars are coming to different locations. Rooms are clean. At buffet very good variety of food. Nice clean fabric tablecloth on the table. They give plastic glove to go to buffet and you have to wear mask. But at the table you take it off. Friendly staff. Only if you are coming from Canada change money to US $ at Canada. They dont want canadian $. You can change them only in pesos at the hotel not at US  [... read more]$. Take extra because covid test cost 120 US$ for each person location at the Tulum hotel or there is the option the lab can come to the room for 115$, antigen test cost 35$. All programs are running in full capacity. Kids club were you can send kids from 9-5 and enjoy kids free day. Program is free. At night kids show at 8pm, entertaiment show like circus, magic show, silent disco at 9pm. At 10pm live music and karaoke. Pools are clean they clean them each morning. Beach little bit far you need to take little car and 5min you are there. You will need water shoes for the beach a lots of rock in the water plus seaweed. Also there is a delfinarium on one the hotel (Tulum). Little bit expensive to swim with dolphins 159$. Also if kid want go no money back. You can go to the pool in all those 4 hotels. At Coba hotel there is kids slides I found little bit rough went myself. Bars make good drinks. Best bar for coffee and cocktails at the lobby. They clean all tables and chairs. At the beach you can take kayaky for free. Or there is katamaran if you know how to sail its free. With instructor it cost 45$. Parasailing 75$ per person. We mostly spend time at the pool, because beach has a lots of rocks. Water is warm at the beach and at the pools. Food was good and big variety of food. You always find what to eat. Deserts ware amazing! From airoport will take you 1.5 hour to hotel, bit far. They left surprise for the last day bottle of brut and stawberry covered in chocolate, which was very nice. Restaurans are open. Everything is open and running there. You can buy diffrent excursion at the hotel as well like excaret, xelha, chicheniza... Yes would recommend the hotel.

Must go!

My husband and I decided to have a quick getaway from the cold Montreal weather and we are so happy we did! We were not dissapointed at all! Jenn Black made it so easy to communicate with her, all the arrangements were made prior to our arrival and it was honestly such a stress free week. The hotel was clean, the staff is amazing and there are plenty of accessible ruins near the hotel. Thanks for a great week!

Getting dated

Hotel is getting dated many rooms smell very molded ask to be change to a different room on the 3rd day they try to putting a air freshers in the ac vent to stop the smell of mold. Went to lunch to fine hamburger buns have KKK BURN INTO THE BUNS. ON FRIDAY TO SUNDAY THEY WOULD FILL UP THE RESORT with locals. Buffet was same food everyday and most food stations were empty monday to Friday but on the weekends they would make sure to have all kinds of food for the locals. Are trip central rep B [... read more]eth never return are phone call on concerns before we left for are trip about the covid she was more concerned with her own up coming trip then her clients. Transit rep in the coba was no help and if you ask when would they be at the coba we were told they only come there if anyone checks in other wise they were at the other two hotels tulum or the other hotel. They jam you in vans with no concerns for covid.

4/5

The grounds were really well kept, as were the rooms. Initially we got dropped off at the wrong lobby hotel which was slightly irritating but amazing trip overall. Buffet had lots of variety. Italian and gourmet restaurant were excellent!

Great Resort

Had a great time at the resort. It is well maintained and clean. Any staff we met were very friendly and welcoming. They really could not have been nicer. The food was very good and had many choices. Our room was kept clean. Overall we would definitely stay again

Very clean and friendly resort, bent over backwards to help us in any way

The food was absolutely delicious every night , excellent entertainment and kept up beautifully, a wonderful place if you want to keep your holiday busy, or if you want to just kick back and relax. Totally an awesome experience and would recommend this place to everyone!

Best Vacation ❤️❤️

The Bahia Principe Coba was amazing - super clean - very organized - all staff very friendly - food was all delicious- with lots of variety - tons of lounge chairs by every pool - the shows were the best I’ve seen - and tons of entertainment - will be back for sure 🇲🇽❤️

Beautiful Resort

Very large and beautiful resort with access to many different options. Great food at the restaurants and buffet. The only negative I would add to my review is that there was only one electrical outlet beside the bed where the alarm was plugged in and that was it. Overall, beautiful place for a family vacation.

Awesome vacation!

I just returned from my trip to this resort. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this trip. The hotel was very clean and staff was pleasant. Resort is very big and you have to take trolley’a to get around which we did not mind. Food was very good especially at the a la carte restaurants. The beach was okay, a little rocky but some spots were perfectly fine. Overall, we had a great week and would definitely return.
