Bahia Principe Grand Coba

Bahia Principe Grand Coba is a large, family-friendly all-inclusive resort in the Riviera Maya, Mexico. It is part of the Bahia Principe complex, which includes multiple resorts sharing some facilities. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:

Beach:

• The resort itself is not directly on the beach—it's about a 10-15 minute walk or a short shuttle ride to the shared beach area within the Bahia Principe complex.
• The beach is nice but can sometimes have rocky areas and seaweed, depending on the season. If you want the best beach within the complex, Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal (next door) has a better beachfront.

Food:

• The resort has buffets and à la carte restaurants with a variety of cuisines, including Mexican, Italian, Brazilian, and seafood options.
• Buffet quality is decent with good variety, though some guests mention it can be repetitive.
• The à la carte restaurants tend to offer a better dining experience, but reservations are required.
• Drinks are good but not premium (as expected in this category of resort).

Rooms & Facilities:

• Rooms are spacious but somewhat dated.
• Large pools with a water park for kids, which makes it a great option for families.
• Entertainment is lively, with daily activities and night shows.
• The resort is large, so expect to do some walking or use the resort shuttles.

Overall:

• Pros: Good value for the price, large pools, family-friendly, variety of restaurants.
• Cons: Not beachfront, rooms could use some updating, beach can be rocky in some spots.
