Kid friendly resort

Overall amazing, the only downside is the beach not usable. My kids would have loved the beach and it being so close to our room. We had to use another resort’s beach front which required travelling a bit. I would have loved to have the restaurants open even if it was not peak season to have more variety for the guests.

Great place

Beautifully kept property. Clean. Lots of greenery, animals and available places to sit. Food very good and very nice service/ wait staff. Manuel very nice waiter. Due to downsizing of staff (just starting off season) we were told no available a la carte restaurants. All booked up? No info sent to us advising to book prior to arrival which have never had to do. Concerns were brought to manager who managed to secure 2 9pm dinner times

Great trip

Excellent trip to the Bahía Príncipe Explore Tulum. Weather was amazing. Resort was not busy so we had our choice of chairs at the beach or pool. They were constantly cleaning and fixing things around the resort while we were there. Too bad about the sea weed on the beach, they worked so hard to clean it up everyday but some days it was just too much for them! Big shouts out to Nicholas our Air Canada Rep who was instrumental in getting the cell phone I lost on the bus back and to Manuel our fav [... read more]ourite server in the buffet.

Great family vacation

We had a wonderful family vacation. Nice room and property, good food, beautiful resort and lots to do with the kids (ages 4 to 9). Kids pool area/splash pad/mini water park was nice. Staff were also amazing. We had what was advertised as a 2 bedroom unit however it was really a bedroom plus a living area that has a sofa bed. However the sofa bed did come apart and we managed to sleep all three kids on it. Another thing to be aware of is the distance from Cancun airport - over an hour drive.

Needs Some Updating

I have stayed at this resort a number of years ago and it was fantastic. Sadly over the years there hasn't been alot of updating done. There are holes in the roof so of course when it rained the floor was wet. The buffet was good the first few days but the menu never changes so it gets harder and harder to eat there every day. They also dont have theme nights or anything special at the buffet. The room we had was excellent!! We had a 2 bedroom suite which included two bathrooms, two sundec [... read more]ks, two TV's etc. Very nice for a family that needed more room. The fridge did not work in the room nor did one of the TV's. When i let the staff know about it both things were fixed in a very short time. Staff were also very friendly and the pools were nice and clean. Entertainment was wonderful as well. Very poor directions of different activities going on at the resort. We missed a few things going on around the resort because we didn't know where to look to find them. The a la cartes were OK. Nothing special that we found which was also quite sad. I myself would not return to this resort in the near future. It is an hour and a half south of the airport which makes for a very long day once you get off the airplane. All in all a good time because we were in Mexico and the weather was fantastic!

Beautiful resort but ‘superior’ rooms need bathroom doors

The resort was beautiful and the staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. However we booked what we thought was a superior room and sadly the bathroom didn’t have a door that closed. This is not ideal with 3 adults sharing the space, one of which has a disability. Needless to say we were disappointed by this.

Very good resort - it is a 4.5 as advertised.

Suite was wonderful - large, modern and dry not damp. Beach was lovely and they really stayed on top of removing the sargassum grass. The resort was kept very clean and the staff were all wonderful. The food was great. We were late booking the restaurants so we only got into one of them as it was a busy week. Lots of activities if you wanted them. Pickup and drop off were efficient. There were virtually zero vendors on the beach all week and the resort felt super safe like a gated commun [... read more]ity. We would retrun in the future.

Second time around ?

After 3 years we returned to Bahai Príncipe Grand Tulum as we enjoyed it so much. The second time around was just as enjoyable with the exception of the food. In all aspects, buffet and a la carte, the quality was somewhat disappointing. Also we felt we would try the Sian Ka’an Tulum ( part of the same complex as it is adult only and quieter Not to say we didn’t enjoy Grand Tulum but as a couple of oldsters we feel next time a more sedate environment would be better. Overall it was a really gre [... read more]at stay. I would recommend this resort to my friends.

Bahia Principe Grand Tulum - Great Spot, 4 Stars

My family enjoyed a one-week vacation over New Years 2025/26. Overall, the hotel, service level, and grounds/beach/pool are very good. Pros: The beach is fantastic. It is a nice strip of beach several hundred meters long that is all walkable. There is a bar/restaurant along with many rentals along the strip. Snorkeling and SUP boarding was common there (bring your own equipment). The snorkeling from shore was very good with lots of marine life to see (fish, rays). Our room was only 50 me [... read more]ters from the beach. There were plenty of parasols and beach chairs for everyone. The pool areas were fantastic, and daily entertainment was organized and busy. The New Year's celebration was incredible. It was well organized with lots of champagne flowing. Selection of premium liquor was good. Lineups for drinks during the day was reasonable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Cons: The a-la-carte restaurants were all booked up after the second day. We were able to get into 2 for the week as a family of five but some people we spoke to were not able to book any restaurants. The buffet was okay but got tiresome by week's end. There were many "extra" costs including a hotel tax we found out about upon arrival. Some of the extras were more Mexico related than hotel specific (for example, the "exit" tax, the cost to see Tulum was exorbitant and the process was painful). The local transit was very reasonable at 20 pesos each way per person for the 20-minute drive to Tulum. Some of the costs at the hotel were a little out of hand (examples: exchange rates, CAD 19 for a bag of chips, USD 233 for golf). It is advisable to get Pesos in smaller denominations before arriving in Mexico. Tipping was common and appeared to be expected (20 pesos is less than CAD 2). The rooms had a weird layout with separate shower and toilet area and a sink in the main room. We had three in one room, so it made it a little dysfunctional at times. The hotel is a long drive from Cancun airport to the hotel (~1.5 hours)

Beautiful spot

The weather was absolutely amazing the whole 10 days. We had no issues with the WestJet flight and was well prepared with everything needed from the trip central staff. Thank you for making sure we were prepared with visit tax and everything else.

Fantastic place for families with younger kids

This resort was absolutely amazing if you are a family with kids under 12. Between the water park at Coba, plus the one on site at Tulum, there was always something for the kids to do. Couple that with the amazing number of activities for kids, and the entertainment, our kids were constantly excited and playing. The buffet food was also absolutely incredible for a resort, with some great variety and choices at every meal. Probably the only downside is how far away this resort is from the airp [... read more]ort (over an hour drive) so I would highly advise booking a private transfer if you can afford it. I would not choose this resort if I wasn't with my kids, but if you're with family you can't go wrong with Bahia Principe.

Beautiful, family friendly resort!

We had a wonderful time at Grand Bahia Principe Tulum! Travelled with 1 child, and 2 seniors. The grounds were well kept & the perk of having access to the other hotels was great, including the trolleys.

Amazing fanily resort

Public areas were well maintained, food was amazing and the kids club was great with my 4 year old and my nephew who is 7. Kids pools are great and we spent most of our time there. The beach at the Grand Tulum wasn't great in the season but the others were cleaner and you can go in a short cart ride. Great hotel. Would recommend

Great Resort

We really enjoyed this Resort, service was great, food was amazing. We did ATVing in the juggel and the tour guide (Migal) and his team did a really good job of explaining everything and leading it. The beach was dirty in some areas but still had some clean areas.

Best trip ever

I absolutely loved the time i had at the Tulum resort. From the front counter staff that were very attentive and prompt in any of our requests, the wait staff that continously kept us hydrated and entertained, to the entertainment team that kept us smiling. Even the cleaners were pleasant. Everyone made us feel like we were home away from home. I will never forget our new friends and I can't wait to come back.

Great resort

The grounds are very clean as is the rooms. Bedding changed daily. Excellent meals. First time to this resort but would not hesitate in booking it again. Has pool activity daily. Free bars all around the property. They also have a market and casino.

The best trip

I came to the hotel from may 2-9th and it has been one of my best trips ever. The hotel was extremely well kept and everything was beautiful. The beach in-front isn’t perfect since it’s a bit wavy but the one a couple minutes walk down the beach is beautiful. The pool was amazing and always so clean. Food was the best from any trip i’ve been on in a super long time. Specialty restaurants are great. Only slightly negative thing is lines for drinks can be long at bars sometimes but that’s to be ex [... read more]pected with such a large resort. Overall a 9.5/10 i’d 100% go back again!

Three Star

This resort is nice, just disappointing that we could not use the beach at all due to severe seaweed. They had tractors out every day trying to control, not their fault. "Mother Nature" Also, did not realize you have to book your restaurants from home, we tried to book same day we arrived at resort and were completely booked. Only able to get into one restaurant.

Amazing resort

Love the Bahía chain lots of Activities- only complaint is booking the restaurants - you have to book the week before you leave on the app- if arrive at resort cannot book 3 or 4 restaurants- they should provide enough spots for everyone to get. All their restaurants in
