If you like heat and humidy, go to Mexico in August, otherwise hold off and go in late fall/winter and early spring (Nov-March) Way too hot for me but everyone else enjoyed it so live and learn for next time. Yes next time, this was a great resort. I have never been to Mexico before but have been to other... more

I relied heavily on previous reviews while making our reservations for this resort. I must say, I am very surprised at all of the good things people had to say. I understand we all have our own expectations, but we were disappointed. I debated heavily on many resorts in the Akumal area because of the beautiful town, beaches, shops, food,... more

The hotel contains of three parts -Tulum, Coba and Akumal. We were at Tulum, which was close the ocean. The beach was nice with white sand and palms. And there... more

We have been to the Bahia 3 times - wife and I had a perfect week alone our first trip in January 2002. We were amazed by this resort (we actually stayed at Akumal), we returned with our best friends the Fall of 2003 (stayed on the Tulum side) and they were just as amazed. Went back AGAIN in April... more

Truly amazing, so where do I start? First class for service from the reception staff to the bell boys and the cleaners who work their socks off and in that heat. Everyone is so friendly and happy to make every effort to ensure you are happy. The hotel rooms are large and the bed is huge, cleaned every day with... more

This resort was fantastic!!!!! The beach was gorgeous, the pools were spectacular, and the hotel staff was always kind and friendly. The rooms could use a bit of an upgrade, but overall this resort was better than my family and i dreamed of it to be. There's so much to do, and my family was always busy with something! We... more

A bit late in writing this as I returned a few months ago, but thought it would be unfair to not. Had an amazing time at GBP, my mum has stayed at another one previously and on her advise we booked this and so glad we did. We had 6 in our party including a 2yr old and 7 year... more
