We returned to Gran Bahia Principe Coba with 3 other couples for the 4th time from Jan 29-Feb 6, 2013. Another terrific stay at beautiful Gran Bahia. The staff is the best...always smiling whether they meet us on the grounds, in the dining areas, in our buildings, at events or when we're planning excurions or just asking for information. They never cease to amaze us with their friendliness. They treat everyone with respect and big smiles! And the grounds are so beautifully designed and well kept. The food in the a la carte dining rooms are outstanding! And the buffets are constantly changing what is offered.
The pool areas are so clean and also well-designed. The lobby's are all beautiful and a joy to walk into, the bars are well-staffed with smiling faces. Our rooms...which are more like suites...are beautiful and large and the staff keeps them so clean.
Last year we tried the 25 minute massage at the spa and we liked it so well that we returned this year for the 50 minute massage! The staff is so professional and do such a wonderful job.
Any time you travel, the service can make your decision on whether you return. No doubt about it, this staff is top-notch and will have you coming back. We thank them for a wonderful and relaxing stay. We so appreciate all you do to make our stay a memorable one.

I've been to a few all Inculsives and I think I finally found my home away from home. My friends have gone there 7 times and brought us with them, on this trip and we loved it. Can't wait till next year.

This was our first trip to Mexico and a Silver Wedding Anniversary celebration for us.Im sure we couldnt have chosen a better hotel.The staff were so friendly+polite and nothing was too much trouble for them.The inside and outside of the hotel was spotless and beautiful.The quality and choice of food in the Coba buffet was excellent and we ate there all the time.We would definately recommend this hotel and we will be going back .

After a wonderful family vacation with my parents and our grown kids at the Sian Kaan in January 2012, my husband and I decided to return to the GBP in February 2013, but this time we stayed at the Coba. We liked it even better, as it is more centrally located and our room was larger and more comfortable than the one at the Sian Kaan.

Our room was at the eastern end of the Coba property, about a 5-minute walk from the beach and gym, and right around the corner from a buffet restaurant and pool. This resort has everything you could want and the quality of the food, drinks and service is better than at any other all-inclusives we've visited. We remembered enjoying meals at the Arlequin and Gran Tortuga a la carte restaurants, so we made sure to reserve them ahead of time via e-mail. One mistake we made was eating most of our meals at the buffet closest to our room, attached to the Club Premier lobby. On the last night, we discovered that the main Coba buffet restaurant, off the Coba lobby, is 4 times the size and has a much better selection.

We spent one day sightseeing, taking a tour of the Tulum and Coba Mayan ruins, which was very worthwhile. We booked it ahead of time for $69 per person using www.cancun-discounts.com. I believe it would have been $100 per person if we had booked it through the hotel. The tour included lunch at a somewhat rundown but excellent Mexican restaurant. Needless to say, we avoided the uncooked vegetables.

My only complaint about our stay was the maid service. We left a tip every day, but the maid usually did not replace the items we'd used from the mini bar and also did not replace the large bottles of water in the room, even when we were down to half a bottle. This is a small complaint, though, and in general I highly recommend the Coba.
