My wife and I spent a week at the Gran Bahia Principe Tulum from 11/10-11/14. I set this trip up for her 40th birthday so I wanted it to be memorable and relaxing. I did months of researching on Trip Advisor before I finally made a selection. I read dozens and dozens of reviews. Most were favorable but there were... more

We stayed at the Coba Premiere from Oct 10-17 2008 which is close to the end of hurricaine season. It is hot and very humid at this time of year. It rained every day but not the whole day. This did not hamper our vacation at all. First point to make, when you get through customs at Cancun International airport,... more

I paid $1700 for a trip that was worth no more than $1100 all-inclusive. People I know who were going to book into this resort are no longer going. The entertainment at night (Tulum) - horrible and super cheesy. Every night it's the same band AND the same cheesy songs to pre-recorded background music in the lobby bar. The music... more

big beach, ok food, ok service, great grounds more

Awsome vacation! This was our 4th trip to the Mayan, first to the Gran Bahia Principe Coba. Property: huge sized property - grounds are immaculately kept, trains to get you around but ask where they are going as the routes seem to change and can be confusing. Pretty much everything is walkable if you are motivated, from the Coba the... more

We stayed at the Gran Bahia Principe Tulum from 11/8 - 11/13/08. The first day we were apprehensive, but soon found that the resort compared very favorably to others that we've stayed at. This resort is very comparable or somewhat better than the Iberostar Beach/Del Mar or the Iberostar Quetza/Tucan. It is between those and the Iberostar Lindo, but definitely... more

Hola just got back on Nov 14 from a weeks stay at this beautiful beach location. We were two families with 5 teenagers. This was both families first visit to the Akumal Beach Resort. The snorkling was great with lots of fish and 5 or 6 full sized Sea turtles in the morning munching on the sea grass by the... more

After reading the reviews my expectations were quite high. Unfortunately, the hotel didn't live up to the reviews. The staff were always polite and friendly - really that's the only good point. FOOD: Although there was masses of food and a great variety, it was just luke warm. By the time you got back to your seat it was completely... more

Loved this resort had a blast there. Staff there were super friendly and helpful. Very nice resort. Will definatley stay here again. more

On our trip we had 11 people, ranging from 23-50. Some married some not. We were there Sept 18-25, coming from the Los Angeles area. This is my second all inclusive in Riviera Maya Let me address some of the things I was worried about after reading some reviwes: *A/C- I was very worried about the A/C being a problem... more

We arrived Nov 7, 2008 after driving our rental car from Cancun airport. Driving in Mexico for the first time was a real learning experience for my husband. Mexican's do not follow many rules of the road. Lines on the road rarely exist and drive any speed you wish as long as it is fast! Signal lights are not used... more

Had a wonderful vacation at Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach. There were many very nice touches and great variety at this spacious resort, as has been written before, and that is why we decided to try it. Be aware, though, that it is a work in progress, and along with the nice touches (great off-shore snorkeling, large and imaginative pools, wonderful... more

We have been to Grand Bahia Principe two times (2006 and 2008) both in Feb/March for two weeks. It was fantastic. Great Food, Great Service, can't say enough about it. We picked Akumal as it is right on the ocean, whereas other resorts in this complex you have to shuttle to the beach. The first time we stayed in complex... more

Our family of four (2 kids) just got home from a one week stay at the Grand Oasis. I had read pretty much EVERY review on TA about this hotel before and after booking it. I was a little nervous about what to expect and found the varied reviews a bit confusing. My main worry was that we would get... more

This resort is absolutley breathtaking to the eye. It is enormous, the beach is beautiful, and the grounds are kept amazingly well. The problems arise when you need anything from the staff. Upon arrival, our room was not ready for us until 4pm and check-in time is 3 pm. We were there for a wedding, and the bride and groom... more

I stayed at the gran bahia principe tulum in july of this year for two weeks, and had the most amazing time. Airport/Check in: The airport procedures do take quite a long time, just make sure you fill in the forms you get given on the plane and you should be fine. The tranfer isnt as bad as other people... more

We arrived on October 12 after a ten and half hour flight, and 1.5 hour transfer from the airport. The hotel reception is quite stunning, it is big enough to park an aircraft! The style is very minimalist, and it looks amazing. Upon arriving at room, found two huge double beds. A lovely bathroom with powershower, and jacuzzi, and toilet... more

This could have been an amazing holiday if it were not for the fact that they have some serious theft problems. On the day we arrived, we got to the room, began putting our luggage away and decided to go for dinner. While we were gone, my wife had a brand new bottle of perfume stolen which was not a... more

Booked an airport transfer from entertainment plus very good service the guy waited for our delay at customs &... more
