Wauw ! That was my first reaction when I saw the hotel. It's huge! Gran Bahia Principe is a very nice hotel and I would recommend it to everyone. The great thing about this hotel are the people. They're always friendly and want to help you. I'm definitely coming back to Bahia Principe. Can't miss it! Love it there! :)... more

First time to the Mayan Rivera. We choose to go the the Gran Bahia Principe Akumal because we wanted something all inclusive and that had a large complex. It did take quite some time (airport transfer) to get to after a airplane ride. However, being an all inclusive resort everything was basically taken care of for us. There were some... more

Service was excellent and the staff was the BEST! Hotel was 30% full and the food was excellent! Long distance to some tours. Jeep tour was well worth it, we were the only English speaking people but John Paul looked after us just fine. Not on the brochures....ask your tour rep about this one! 2 hrs. aprox from Airport, depending... more

Just returned from 2 week stay in GBP Akumal 14th-28th October. Travelled with Thomas Cook and took a private transfer from the airport with USA Transfers - took just over an hour to get to the hotel. We loved everything about this hotel. The grounds and pools are amazing and the food and service was second to none. We ate... more

The hotel was lovely to look at and was kept very clean. Its staff were also very lovely and helpful. However, that is where the positives end. We arrived just after the Swine Flu ban had ended and they were only just opening the hotel back up. Consequently, nothing was aired out and the rooms stank. In addition, they have... more

Everything was great in this trip. Starting with the flying company (WHITE), which was very very good, the travel agent (SOLTOUR), which was excellent, great rganization and finally the hotel which was amazing. This resort has 3 hotels (coba, the most recent, Tulum and Akumal). Wether you stay in one or another you can use the facilities of the 3.... more

This was really heaven on earth. September is a slow month for this resort so, we had full reign of all amenities and restaurants. Even though we booked restaurants upon arrival as advised to do, there was no need as all ala carte restaurants had plenty of room in each we visited. Five star all the way. Food was plentiful... more

After reading all the wonderful reviews here, my partner and I were very excited to stay in the GBP Akumal. And we weren't disappointed! I will begin with the only negative point I can think of: the distance to Cancun. After a flight of nearly 13 hours (we came from Belgium and had a layover in Varadero), the loooong busdrive... more
