Our first experience with the Bahia Group was not a pleasant one, when 11 years ago we stayed at the Bahia Principe San Juan, Dominican Republic. We vowed to never again travel to one of their properties and that resolve held firm until January 2012. We went to the Gran Bahia Principe to celebrate my 65th. birthday after having read... More

I am going to try and give a little comparison during this review. I have now only stayed at 2 AI's and I personally appreciate it when other reviewers can give me a point of reference. I do not want to however, give the misconception that we did not have a wonderful time and really enjoy the GBPC just because... More

Overall, it's very hard to find anything to truly complain about at this resort. My only complaint was the torture device called "the bed". Pretty sure the Flintstones had a softer sleeping surface. It may also be a grand scheme by the resort to get you to use the spa's services! The resort manager was helpful by getting a foam... More

We spent 10 nights at the Coba in December 2011, departing(back home) Christmas Eve, late at night. We arrived late, and had a very late dinner. We were very unimpressed with our initial meal. EVERYTHING had fish in it, or so it seemed. But honestly, this place just kept getting better. The entertainment staff are great, the pools are clean,... More

It's been 5 years since we last stayed at this resort. On our last visit, we said this was the best resort we had ever stayed at in Mexico. We also said we would not come back UNLESS we could stay for two weeks. Well...we are going back. Food was great, rooms were stellar and yes...you had to have a... More

Second time to the GBP complex...stayed at Akumal last time, this time Coba. Good price so wasn't picky although it sure is nicer being close to the ocean at Akumal (or Tulum I would guess). Still, shuttles run very frequently. Grounds and properties are immaculate, beach is nice, not great but nice...what you'd expect for this area. Great to have... More

Spent a week here in November 2011 with some friends. The hotel is beautiful - the time they take to meticulously sculpt everything (even the sand in the ashtrays) into the Bahia Principe sun logo is mind-boggling. The rooms smell slightly musty - but you are in a tropical climate and it is hard to keep things dry. The food... More

One week stay in Jan. 2012 was a last minute decision and we went to this place because we got an awesome deal and were not disappointed. The resort itself is very large and spacious. The beach area was nice but the sand in spots was a little rocky to walk on. There is a neat little snorkel area guarded... More

Only problem we had was at check check in we was told to leave our luggage and it would be delivered to our room 1 hour later we finally received our luggage, but after a 14 hour flight and over...
