Amazing Dining Options

“During my stay, I was thrilled with the dining options available at the resort. The buffet at Kukulcan was impressive, offering a vast array of choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I particularly enjoyed the variety and quality of the food, especially for breakfast and lunch when it felt more fresh and less crowded. My favorite a la carte dinner was at Mikado, the Japanese steakhouse where they prepared food right at our table, creating a good dining experience.” view full review

Fun for Kids

“As a family-friendly resort, the Grand Bahia Principe Coba truly excels in providing amenities for kids. The waterpark was a massive hit with my family, especially my younger relatives who loved the slides and the splash pads. There were always activities to keep them entertained, and the kids’ club offered a variety of programs that ensured they were having a fantastic time while we relaxed.” view full review

The ample supply of toiletries was also a pleasant surprise, adding to the overall comfort and convenience of our stay.” view full review

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The landscaping around the property is beautiful, but the cleanliness of the rooms, particularly the bathroom areas, left a lot to be desired. While the main pool area had some unfortunate issues, the overall experience was salvaged by decent food options. It’s a good choice for a last-minute getaway, but definitely not without its flaws.

Overall, our vacation at this resort was a memorable experience filled with relaxing moments and good food. The room we stayed in was spacious and well-maintained, which significantly enhanced our comfort. However, the service was inconsistent, as we faced issues with responsiveness from staff at times. The dining options were diverse, but some restaurants left a bit to be desired in service and food quality. Also, the frequent beach-cleaning efforts for seaweed were commendable, yet it was a bit inconvenient at times, too.

Overall, we had an incredible time at the resort! The food was great, especially at the buffet, and there were plenty of drink options available. The rooms were spacious and well-kept, though we had a rough experience with one of the excursions we booked. While the beach was not ideal due to the seaweed, the pools made up for it. We would definitely return, despite the minor hiccups encountered during our stay.
