    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    Sunbathing, watersports and spa treatments top the agenda at the beachside Grand Bahia Principe Akumal.

    This hotel is set in a huge complex along with the Grand Bahia Principe Coba and the Grand Bahia Principe Tulum. Buggies take guests around so they can make use of the high bar and restaurant count.

    White sand and snorkel-friendly waters lie just beyond the hotel. One of the pools is beachside, and there’s another pool – a long, winding number dotted with bridges, palm trees and parasols.

    All facilities are in the combined complex consisting of 3 hotels - you can use all facilities across the complex.

    • Rooms: 758

    My 15 year old daughter and I travelled to this resort for a week for a mother/daughter getaway. We only had one plan; lots of pool and beach time. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from start to finish. A few notes; Our room did feel a bit dated. It was very clean but it felt like it could use a coat of paint. We were in building 70. I don’t know if all the buildings need a refresh. This would have been a 5 star review if it weren’t for this. The food was great. Admittedly, we only did the buffet. We had talked about doing the a la carte restaurants but just stuck with the buffet. We could always find something to eat. The one thing that surprised me was how much seafood and fish was on the buffet. I don’t eat it but I have never seen a resort buffet with that much. I also loved that they had a Mexican corner. I hate going to a resort that doesn’t serve its country’s food. Drinks were standard resort drinks. All were great! I did hear complaints about bars running out of alcohol. We sat by the main pool and on the beach. Neither of those bars ever ran out of drinks. The pools were beautiful. The beach was stunning. There was not a seaweed problem like other beaches in Mexico. The ocean swimming area is very sandy. I am told the resort was at 90% capacity while we were there. We never struggled to find spots on the beach or by the pools. Also, I found that people didn’t reserve prime seats like at other resorts. I would come back here for this alone! I also loved how clean the pool area was. Dirty glasses and dishes were removed promptly. This made for a nicer environment and no wildlife hanging around the pool. My daughter and I did visit the spa while we were there. I had the Caribbean massage. It was amazing. The facilities are beautiful. My daughter had a facial. Not sure what was done but her skin glowed like I have never seen before. Another positive is how often the shuttles run. We never waited more than 10 minutes for a shuttle. Most times our wait was less than 5 minutes. The Bahia Principe complex is quite large so you do have to rely on the shuttles. I have stayed at other resorts where the shuttles run maybe every 15 minutes. This was a nice surprise. My daughter and I also visited La Hacienda at the entrance of Bahia Principe. We went once to buy some gifts. There were lots of souvenir options. We also went to the Mexican Fiesta on the Thursday night. I highly recommend attending this. There is an additional cost to attend but it wasn’t a lot. The entertainment was done so well, the games were fun and the drinks were very tasty. My daughter and I really enjoyed the evening! All in all, it was an absolutely lovely resort. The staff were wonderful and made sure we were well taken care of!
