GBP Coba has awesome rooms if you're trying to decide between Tulum and Akumal. They have a couple extra features like a jetted tub and a lounging area in every room. It is farther from the beach than Tulum and Akumal. Although, you just hop on the beach trolly and it takes you right there. The area called the Coba... more

Gran Bahia Principe is definitely NOT a 5 star category as advertised. In my opinion I would have a hard time giving it any more than a 21/2. I would like to start by saying that we travel frequently south (Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico) and this was our fifth trip to Mayan Rivera. Previously we've stayed at Dreams Resort, Riu... more

During my holiday i was bitten, burnt, had a slight cold, broke a toe, had a stomach bug and an ear infection. I never really got over the jet lag and was in bed every night by 9:30. I had a great time. For so much to go wrong and to still enjoy my holiday, the place is definately worth... more

After visiting GBP akumal 5 years ago, we decided to go back this summer. Flight and immigration without any problems, took us 1.30 hrs to arrive at the hotel. We booked a room at the Coba section which is the newest one. Rooms were spacious, AC worked just fine, fridge was refilled every day. Funny thing is that on the... more

Just got back from the Gran Bahia Principe Coba in Akumal. IT was our first time to this resort. Previously we had been to the Bahia Principe Punta Cana. Our stay was from August 16-23rd, 2008. Overall, we had a great time and the highlight of the trip was the courteous and friendly service we received from individuals ranging from... more

Our group of 41 people (2 young children, several grandmas) traveled to Mexico in late July for a wedding. We chose the Gran Bahia Coba based on reviews and great price. It was a good decision, as everyone had a wonderful time! The staff were very accomodating, placing us all in 2 buildings next to each other, near the buffet... more

We were at GBP Coba Aug. 14 to 21 for 8 days 7 nights. I emailed before hand and picked to stay at Villa 31B, it's closed to the lobby and swimming pool! The room was nice, but we had minor problems with the door lock (hard to open) and one ight bulb in bathroom was out, but they got... more

My husband and I spent out honeymoon here from august 4th to 18th and had a wonderful time. I have absolutely nothing to complain about and would highly recommend this resort. We had only 1 hour of rain the entire two weeks and made the most of every day. Relaxing on the beach, swimming, eating great food and consuming our... more

We just returned from our honeymoon at the Coba in Mexico. The resort was wonderful and provided excellent service. We were able to utilize all three resorts and used this to our fullest advantage. The food, rooms (maid service) and all amenities were outstanding. We did not have one issue during our stay. It is well worth the money spent... more
