We stayed at this hotel 3 times for the last 3 years and looks like it was last time. Main problem is a variety of food in a buffet. We never saw before that Coba has so big issue with a variety of food, people staying in a line to get some food, if tray is empty it will not be replaced or refilled right away. Very very limited quantities of sea food even baked or grilled fish you will not be able to see it everyday.

We’ve been here for our 6th time. Unfortunately we will not be back. The worst thing you guys could do was open that useless Tequilas section All you did was strip us of everything that made Coba worth coming to. It’s nowhere near the beach so things like the silent pool and the food truck made the Coba ok still, especially for the price. Now we’ve just had the prices go up only to get half of our normal benefits for staying with you guys taken away. Looks like we’ll sadly be looking for a new place to go twice a year:) .

First of all, the Staff were all outstanding. As for the room, our key card did not work on the first room; after calling and waiting twice outside after a long flight they had to change batteries to let us in. The room was quite warm and AC wasn't working, also the toilet periodically ran through the night making a loud whistling sound waking us up, and the bed was extremely hard so very little sleep. Not a good start. After a request to move, we were sent to another room that did not have issues, had a bed topper and a larger TV. (This was what they call a Premiere room at Coba). All the room layouts are exactly the same at Coba and showing quite a bit of disrepair but overall OK. the new room was satisfactory, and I would say about a 3 star room IMO.

We have stayed at Bahia Principe several times over the years. We noticed some changes this time around: more restrictions on where we weren't able to enjoy different areas of the resort that didn't used to exist, as well as the Coba section of the property beginning to feel its age, where the other sections have seen renewal. Some of the little extras we experienced in the past have fallen off, but overall, it still felt like a great experience for the fact that the staff are so warm, hardworking, attentive and really do give you the sense of being waited on hand and foot. Our rooms were decent, furnished as they were in years past, and comfortable, with daily housekeeping service that kept everything spotless and well stocked. I let the maintenance staff know our mini-fridge wasn't working, and it was replaced with a new unit. The food was as good as we've seen in the past. While I'm sure some of the larger resorts in Mexico have increasingly moved toward using pre-packaged food, most of what is served at Bahia Principe is clearly freshly prepared on-site, the buffets are abundant with lots of choice, and we usually focus heavily on the Mexican section of the buffet for some authentic local flavour. The bar service was always great, with lots of options and well-prepared cocktails. The grounds and pools are well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. The beach was beautiful and clean. Make sure you bring lots of small bills to tip all the wonderful staff!

Clean room and friendly staff. Drinks are horribly watered down and sweet. You have ask for a shot of a specific liquor to add to your drink separately or they will grab this premix behind the bar that’s sweetened. The food is mediocre but not horrible. The location is quite far from both Tulum the city and Playa Del Carmen. Ubers, Taxis, and shuttles are unavailable unless pre booking and spending absurd amounts on travel. The beach is very small and not very nice. Pools are not heated and hot tubs do not exist.

Amazing stay overall! Great customer service, top notch entertainment, especially the New Year’s Eve party!! The food options were great with a large selection and the specialty restaurants were way better than we expected! Pools, beach and chairs weren’t overcrowded at all. Outdoor setting and grounds were beautiful, clean, well maintained and ambient walking trails with tram options if you don’t want to walk. We stayed in Coba and the only reasons for the four stars would be the rooms are dated, the bathroom doesn’t have an exhaust fan which causes moisture and a tad mildew smell in the room. We asked for a king bed and got two full beds pushed together. Also blankets are extremely thin. Our underage kids (17 and 14) were not given underage wristbands and were being served drinks unbeknownst to us. Other than that, this stay was amazing and we had a great time!!

My teenage daughter and I did this trip to see what it was like and we are going to bring back my sons and husband for Spring break. We are going to stay in the Luxury part for the private pool area. The beach was one of the most beautiful I have seen. A Caribbean bath as we referred to it.
