We returned to this beautiful resort in less than a year – the first time we've ever chosen to revisit the same place. It’s hard to say what we love most: the stunning nature, the comfortable accommodations, the fantastic restaurants, or the hardworking, always-smiling staff. Speaking of which, on our first morning, we searched for and found our favorite waiter, Manuel. Just like last year, we made sure to sit in his section for both breakfast and lunch. He is always cheerful, kind, and even teaches us Spanish. This resort is highly recommended – we can’t wait to return!

We loved the beach and the buffet was great. We met a waiter Fabian who was greeting us every time we would join for lunch or dinner. His personal charm left us with unforgettable experiences of the hotel. We are very grateful to him for making it such a great experience for us.
We enjoyed the beach with its sunshades and a small “slow river” with a tiny reef in the middle. We used to get into the water and slowly drift towards the Tulum hotel after which we walked back and start all over again.

This resort never disappoints. While the rooms are getting somewhat dated they are always clean. If you need anything just ask and it’s there in a flash. Husband wasn’t feeling well and they phoned the room twice to see if he needed anything…chicken soup, water etc. The thing I would like to highlight is the amazing waiter service at the main buffet. Eric (a.k.a. Speedy) is AMAZING!!! Never lets you run out of coffee/mimosas/water…genuinely cares for each and every person. 5 stars for Eric!!!! Beach and pool area also nice and clean.

Overall quite a positive experience! We were there for about 3 weeks for our wedding and honeymoon. Although the wedding had quite a few rough spots, the rest of our time there was great and made up for the negatives in regards to the wedding. We had no issue with our room, other than the mini fridge not working. It took a little bit of time to sort out but after that we have no complaints. Housekeeping was great, Guadalupe was very prompt and accommodating. We had a positive experience with nearly every staff member we encountered. The restaurants were great with combining tables when our family/friends hadn’t managed to join our reservation initially. Our guest experience person, Victoria, went above and beyond with our every request and concern. We are looking forward to hopefully returning to this resort on future trips.

Bahia Principe is amazing! We were greeted by the chef Jezie and the hostess Maria, who explained the types of food and the specials prepared daily. The experience is great! We love it so much we've come back 3 times since. Highly recommend.
Have to make an edit:
Do not use the Coming 2 service if you can help it. They did not do their job of ensuring people get into their vans. Our experience, they hid the van behind a pillar, waited for a minute, took a picture and left, leaving my family and two other couples to find our own way back to the airport. And this is a service you pay for! Absolutely pitiful. Bahia, you need to find a better source for transportation. These people are far to unreliable.
Additionally, there never seems to be enough wait staff in the evenings at the lobby or behind the lobby, and the bars seem understaffed as well, sometimes waiting 15-20 minutes to get your order taken.
