Grand Bahia Principe Coba

Just returned from a family holiday staying at the Coba resort. We had the most fabulous time there with NO problems. The resort (all of them) were absolutely immaculate including the rooms (4 in total). Towels were available every day and there was always plenty of sun beds. Between us all a la Carte restaurants were visited and all were very good with 1st class service in all of them. Our particular favourite was the Masua Restaurant and special mention must go to Palermo who was such a polite and efficient waiter even though earlier that evening our son had witnessed him being treated really rudely and bad by a Russian couple. For him to put that behind him and treat us so well is a credit to him. I must also mention Luis a waiter in Le Gourmet restaurant who again was an exceptional waiter in every way as was Gamaliel in the Don Pablo Restaurant. The beach was very good and again the team worked all day keeping it clean and tidy. The buffet restaurant always offered plenty of choice and catered for all tastes. Service in the lobby bar by the waitresses was also very good. We only did a couple of trips one was the dune buggies to the eco park which included a tour of the underground caves and a swim in the Cinose which was lovely and refreshing. The other was to Coco Bongos which was also an amazing experience. We would also like to mention Yazmin from the entertainment team who always stopped for a chat and encouraged us to take part in some events. Also Patsy who arranged our Coco Bongo trip and ensured we were looked after there. All in all an excellent holiday and I can’t believe some of the negative views we read before we went. We would definitely return again ana again.

The resort is huge, but there are shuttles to get around. The staff all made you feel at home and were very helpful. There’s plenty of activities and entertainment planned throughout the day, you will not be bored. Very good variety of drinks and food. A la carte restaurant were excellent! Rooms are very cleaned. I mostly enjoyed the entertainment team from Coba, Aldo was exceptionally wonderful, very friendly, always greeted you with a warm smile and made sure you were having a great time. Overall, I had great experience at this resort and will be back.

The property is huge. Use the trams/trolleys to get around. Coba is not on the beach, and will take about 3 minutes to get to the beach using them. I tried to get a drink at Akumal, even using cash, but no. Tulum property you can eat and drink same as Coba. We were offered upgrade to Tulum but did not. Our building at Coba was perfect. Building 34. There were NO bugs in our room ever. We enjoyed the wildlife throughout the properties, check out Eco Baha’i. Stay on the paths! There are trees full of coconuts that randomly fall. Maintenance works hard to trim them. Very clean resort! The staff are constantly cleaning and maintaining! All staff very friendly. No need to reserve loungers, and you can’t. If you can’t find the perfect lounger, go to a different property on the resorts. The food does get repetitive, even though they have a different theme night weekly. Had suckling pig one night, and lamb another. I recommend the ala carte Japanese Tepenyacki. The show was great, the food was good and met some new friends. I caught the broccoli first try. Lol. Enjoyed the evening shows, but inundated with Mexican music. GO TO THE MAGIC SHOW! Sundries at the resort are expensive! Go to the Hacienda/Casino. Prices are more attractive. The beaches are quite nice. We walked the full beach barefoot with no issues. I snorkelled many days, and happy to have water shoes for that. Enjoyed many hours face down in the water. Weather was great, too great some days where I needed to seek shade.
