    From the rooms, to activities, food and everything in between, this vacation was one of the best we've had a family! Staff was accommodating and attentive. We are trying to go back this year!

    Great stay at Bahia Principe Coba!

    Honestly, don't let the bad reviews scare you away. It's a beautiful property, and the majority of satisfied guests probably aren't leaving a review! Pros: -Beautiful and well maintained grounds, with villas surrounded by greenery and the sounds of nature. -Plenty of walking paths, which are well lit in the evening. -Staff are very friendly and helpful! -Beach is within walking distance/trolley ride. Just use your phone map the first time you walk so you don't get lost! -The Coba part of the beach is a good size, is sandy, and is well protected from waves. The bar at the Coba beach is available to Coba guests (the other beach bars are not, without an upgrade). -The Kukulcan buffet (main Coba buffet) has a great selection. The omelette bar was a favorite. -The a la carte restaurants are a treat (Mediterraneo, Mikado Teppanyaky, and Le Gran Tortuga (Brazilian steakhouse) for us). Book early to get your reservation! -WiFi throughout the resort is excellent. We used the included basic WiFi, not the upgrade, with no issues at all. -Espresso coffee machines in the lobby. -Nearly instant hot water in the shower. Cons: -The walking paths are shared with the trolley carts, so you have to be on the lookout for them. -It takes a few minutes to get to the beach from Coba. -Despite designated smoking areas, smokers light up in all the outdoor areas. -Many of the beach chairs are only for guests from the other Bahia resorts. Pro tips: Get the Bahia Principe app for your phone and check-in 10 days before you arrive!!! This will let you book your a la carte restaurant reservations while they're still available. You can also view menus on the app. Use the app for concierge services, or any issues with the room. If your room AC stops working, check that the patio door is closed all the way. There is an interlock switch that prevents the AC from running when the door is open. Use Google (or the Apple equivalent) maps to find your way around the resort when you're walking. It works great. The lobby has a cashier that will exchange large Mexican peso bills for smaller ones for tipping. Take the bike tour (about an hour long, starts at 10:00 and 3:00) early in your stay to get an idea where things are located around the resorts.

    Don’t stay here.

    This is one of the worst hotels that I’ve stayed at in Mexico. Food is cold and of poor quality. I’m unable to get towels when requested. Housekeeping cleaned my room one time during my stay. Rooms are outdated but clean. Service in buffet and specialist restaurants are slow. Dining room staff is more focused on clearing and setting tables than servicing guest that are already eating. Spa services prices change based on which spa staff you speak with. Buffet closes early. Speciality restaurants limit you on your food choices. It’s really not all inclusive when you are not allowed to choose te menu options that you want. You can’t get fresh pool towels after 5 pm. Poor closed around 6 pm. The resort is not fully handicapped accessible. When you express your issues with staff they are argumentative instead of trying to correct the issue. Drinks are good.
