Gran Bahia Principe Coba Hotel – Riviera Maya – Mexico – Caribbean

We booked this on a Saturday & flew out the next Wednesday. After a long flight we were really looking forward to arriving at our hotel, only to find we had a 1.5hr transfer. In all honesty it wasn’t that bad & went fairly quickly.

We arrived at the hotel complex & were greeted by the lovely reception staff. The complex is massive, hosting some 5 hotels in all. The Coba is furthest away from the beach but that really isn’t an issue as a golf shuttle runs around the resort constantly.

The beach is not that great with massive sandbags spoiling the view as well as the water being very very rocky! The staff are very friendly. The hotel complex is very clean.

We were able to eat in all the other hotels too which was very nice. One night we actually went from buffet to buffet to compare the quality of the food & I have to say the food in the Coba was by far the best.

The hotel is not far from the Tulum ruins. I would highly recommend a taxi ride out there to see these & get the driver to stop at the adjacent beach if you want a taste of the real Caribbean. Despite the complex being so big I would definitely return to this hotel if I were to get a good deal again. Great holiday.
