    Perfect stay

    Another fabulous holiday at the Bahia Akumal. We had a private transfer and arrived about 1 hour before or other flight people did. We had requested a high floor room, trying to avoid the crawlies but were allocated a ground floor room. I was disappointed. After raising our concerns 2 days later we were moved to room 6621. PERFECT. 5th trip to the Bahia group and we struck gold. Room immaculately clean, mini bar stocked and what a view. We are returning for 3 weeks march/april.

    Generally good, but a couple of major downsides

    The resort is massive - absolutely loads of villas and tour groups arriving at regular intervals. The positives: The staff are friendly and prepared to put up with us speaking English and a bit of broken Spanish with them. They don’t expect tips but ate grateful to receive any. The two bedroom suite was good for us as a family with a couple of tweens. However, they are located about 5 minutes’ walk from the lobby and restaurants. The a la carte dining is good - though sometimes the kids weren’t keen on what they found in the menus. That said, we knew that as the menus are provided in advance. The tennis courts were always pretty deserted, so we could play whenever we wanted (despite the heat and humidity). The experience at Halloween was absolutely amazing - they completely went to town in the buffet! The negatives: Two majors and a couple more minor- First of all, my wife left her sunglasses in one of the a la carte restaurants. We noticed and reported within an hour but the guest experience staff didn’t seem to care. Suffice it to say that we never saw those expensive sunnies again. They ask for food allergies at check in and give you a card to show everywhere. It’s fine in the a la cartes, but hopeless in the buffet. There is no allergen information displayed and the labels are frequently in the wrong places for the food. For us, this was an inconvenience, but could have more serious consequences for others. Other minor gripes include the mini bar never being stocked with milk and coffee after the first day and the drinks being very watery (especially the sprite / coke which often had a very weird taste). There’s not a huge amount to do as a family as our kids were a bit too old for the kids club and given the size of the resort it would benefit from more activities beyond lots of swimming pools. On the whole, it’s ok, but probably wouldn’t stay again.

    The place to book 100% for the ultimate Mexico resort experience

    I’m a third time returning customer and will be continuing coming with family and friends! The front desk is always AMAZING. Jose who is a manager at the front is so good! He goes above and beyond to make sure all guests are happy and helped out! The guest experience is also so helpful and great to work with. The pool waiters (especially the adults pool and the smaller middle pool) also incredible at there jobs, they are so kind and so hard working to make sure everyone is attended to!!!! And wow there entertainment team is incredible! The hard work and devotion they put into the shows is amazing. Gretel was so amazing to chat with about all things entertainment!!!! And I can’t leave out the AMAZING team that run the front of the lobby with the golf carts and all the drivers. They are all amazing at there jobs and SO beyond helpful

    Bahia Principle transportation

    This resort uses Coming2 for transportation and we were left stranded at the airport and had to take a taxi that cost us dearly. Then we spent two days in the lobby trying to get a departure voucher. Check out coming2 reviews as this is an ongoing problem and Bahia Principie does nothing about it even though we called them prior to taking a taxi and were told we would get a refund.
