The weather at this time is also excellent: hot, a little windy, but at the same time warm evenings.
Cons of the hotel: 1. Sea. Guys, well, going to the Caribbean to get waist-deep into the water is ridiculous. They fenced part of the sea with sand bales, and left a small lake for the children. Plus, a huge amount of algae. Although, they fight every day.
2. Pool. Well, okay, we reconciled with the sea. But why not make the pool deep? 1.35cm. It also turns out for children. How to swim in it?
Bottom line: if you are looking for new experiences, history and all the delights of Mexico - you are here. If for an excellent All inclusive - also here. But, if you are lovers of swimming, diving, fooling around in the waves, you will not be able to enjoy the sea. It's clearly not here.

We chose the hotel randomly (according to positive reviews on the Internet), flew and did not regret it! Pick-up and check-in went great (Club Hacienda/vip bracelets) with welcome cocktails and smiles. We lived in Villa 33 on the 3rd floor near the main restaurant (on the first night we immediately realized that life in the kitchen was in full swing, then it was quieter or our remark on this matter was heard, or we no longer paid attention due to adaptation during time), next to the gym (super, because food with such a variety of tasty treats is here for 5s +) and the main reception (convenient, because this is the main “stop” of cars for moving between hotels).

I do not recommend the first floors (I think uninvited guests (attractive raccoons, noses and iguanas) can climb in and, probably, not so cozy). Our room was lovely, cleanliness and service was good. . I want to note that all the staff are very friendly and positive))) Restaurants: I definitely recommend visiting Italian (very, very tasty and beautifully presented dishes), French (as a compliment, for example, here we were served foie gras and champagne) and Japanese (with Table-Show - with you a cheerful chef will cook and juggle with various jokes and jokes). And don't forget to ask for the Russian menu (it's there! ). As for the hotel itself: a huge and beautiful area! There is always something to do from passive to the most active type of recreation. I recommend this hotel!! !

Just arrived from this beautiful country, rested in this hotel in mid-March. I liked the hotel in every way. settled in a good room, there were three of us. they gave a room with three huge beds, the buildings are arranged so that when you go out to the balcony you do not look into the windows of the neighboring building.

Just arrived from this beautiful country, rested in this hotel in mid-March. I liked the hotel in every way. settled in a good room, there were three of us. they gave a room with three huge beds, the buildings are arranged so that when you go out to the balcony you do not look into the windows of the neighboring building. The guy who cleaned our room surprised us every day with his handicrafts from towels, we were looking forward to his new creations, smart guy, we were happy to leave him a dollar, and the guy always gave us extra towels and a bunch of shampoos, gels and body creams . The territory is very large, we could safely visit and use the restaurants of two more hotels of this network, trains run between the hotels and it says on them which hotel they are going to, do not be shy and stop. a good-natured driver will always answer you where he is going, and near the reception, when they arrive, the drivers say where the train will go. There are many different animals on the territory of the hotels, when we went out onto the balcony, every day funny agoutis ran and played in the clearing, raccoons and noses often came to the restaurant, which could be hand-fed, and raccoon beggars are constantly on duty in the night cafe, I fed with great pleasure))) There are almost always pelicans on the beach and pink flamingos fly by. There are a lot of goannas, they just bask in the sun everywhere. The sea and the beach are beautiful, since the sea is mostly with waves, then the breakwaters make it possible to swim calmly, but if you are too small, then go behind the breakwaters and swim there. We also went to a beautiful lagoon, it is to the right of Tulum, but it takes about 20 minutes to walk, go through the entire beach and further along the pebbles and around the bend there is a beautiful lagoon where there are no waves and a wild beach, you swim for your pleasure without breakwaters, you can also go to the left from the hotel, there, opposite the villas, you can also swim without breakwaters and jump on the waves. About the weather, I can say that it is very changeable, there can be clouds for half a day, and then a clear sky and a bright sun, it can also start to rain and get colder, and in the morning the sky is clear again, the wind was always there, but nothing overshadowed us our vacation, such a bright and beautiful country. A day later we went on excursions, I tour. I found the agency at home and comparing prices at Coral, who met us, I took from those I found, you can go to Playa del Carmen and there are many travel agencies, their prices are even lower, but the groups will hardly be Russian, but we are still decided to ride with ours and there were mini groups, not a huge bus. We visited Chichen Itze, Coba, Tulum and swam in cenotes, in Tulum, of course you can go on your own, but it was more convenient for us with a tour and we immediately visited Coba. We spent the whole day in the Shkaret park. the park itself did not make much of an impression, but the evening performance overshadowed everything amazing.... I strongly advise you not to spare money and visit the Coco Bongo disco, you can order tickets at the hotel, but we took excursions from those who had excursions. The disco is just a delight and a positive charge, we took VIP places, they cost $ 135. , you can sit and watch the show from the third or second floor and you can also dance there, drinks are always included in the price. If you take a simple ticket, you will be downstairs with the whole crowd, and to be honest, there are a lot of people downstairs, like herring in a jar and there are no places to sit down there. In Playa Del Carmen, go quietly yourself, go out onto the road and the minibuses themselves stop, they cost 3.5 dollars. one way, it’s more convenient to pay in pesso, go out at the end and ask how to get to 5th avenue, it’s nearby and you get to the street with shops and cafes, it wasn’t enough for us to go around everything in one half day and we came several times. Souvenirs are all very colorful and bright, you can buy in Chichen Itza, there are a lot of them and bargain, in other things you can bargain everywhere, There are even more of them in Playa del Carmen and basically we bought everything there, there is also Hacienda near the hotel, there is a bazaar and go into its territory and there are many shops and cafes, but in Hacienda the prices are more expensive, and in the bazaar, near it, you can bargain well. The food at the hotel is good, we were satisfied, there is champagne in the morning, you can walk around and pour as much as you want, and then take it and all the other drinks in the hotel bars, it also soaks tequila all the time, there are 6 types, come and pour it, ice cream every day different types, rolls, sushi, every evening, but they are not very tasty. , a lot is designed for Americans, there are always hamburgers, collect yourself and do what you want)) There is a children's table in the restaurant, for kids you will find normal food, they also make mashed potatoes. In general, we were satisfied with both Mexico and the hotel, I can recommend this hotel to everyone.

I liked everything in the hotel. large in area, but wagons drive. one thing upsets - there is no deep sea, but with children it is an ideal beach (lagoon, warm turquoise water) there is nothing special to see with moss, but there is nothing to do, we look at the stones and occasionally fish) out of 14 days-5 days it was raining, but it was even needed because the body asked for a rest from the sun.

out of 14 days-5 days it was raining, but it was even needed because the body asked for a rest from the sun... but on the plane, people on the way back did not show a special tan, more and more with shabby noses and red backs after burns....Wild animals roam the area. they feed excellently.

Just got back from Mexico. Lived at the Gran Bahia Principe Tulum from 26.07. 2012 to 9.08. 2012. I chose this hotel according to the rating and reviews of tourists (4.2 points out of 5). What can I say - not a bad hotel, but you can find a better hotel for the same money (Second time in Mexico, so there is something to compare).

What can I say - not a bad hotel, but you can find a better hotel for the same money (Second time in Mexico, so there is something to compare).
About 10 days before the trip, an email was sent to the hotel with a request to book a room on the 2nd-3rd floor and not far from the beach, as well as 6 restaurants. A few days later, the answer came that our wishes for the room were entered into the computer, but they could not guarantee, and the restaurants were booked - which we wanted and at a convenient time for us. We arrived at the hotel around 7pm. We received the keys to room 1701 (villa 17) and were surprised where we were settled (ground floor, the farthest villa from the beach, next to the road along which trains travel between hotels and a new building). The next day we went to the reception to exchange the room. There is only one answer - the hotel is full, there are no free rooms.
No arguments (two children and a pre-sent email) did not work. Only after 4 days they moved to another room on the second floor of Villa 11 next to the sea. The air conditioner in the room did not work, or rather it worked but as a fan (at night it was impossible to sleep at all, since the air conditioner was automatically turned off centrally for several hours). There were small ants in the room, which crawled into our suitcases and things the very first night.
The room service was good (the room was cleaned every day, linen and towels were changed, as well as their token figurines made from towels on the bed). Oh yes, I forgot to say - upon arrival, a bottle of champagne and a bowl of fruit are waiting for you in the room.
We went to restaurants: don Pablo - the best beyond praise, Mecado - show table - cool, Tortuga (Brazilian) - I liked it, Tequila (Mexican) - I liked it, Medeteranio - not very food like in a buffet.
Tulum buffet: breakfast - scrambled eggs, pancakes, yoghurts, cereals, fresh juices; lunch and dinner - sushi, Spanish dishes, Mexican dishes. Of the fruits, there have always been watermelon, two types of melons, pineapples, papaya. From sweet - cakes, three types of ice cream, jelly. From seafood - every day grilled fish and with some kind of sauce, very often they gave mussels and cuttlefish dishes. I advise seafood lovers to go to the Coba buffet, which I did especially for dinner (much more choice). And in my opinion the Coba buffet is much better than the tulum buffet.
The beach is protected by breakwaters, there are no waves, which is good for children. The water is very warm and clean. The fish were fed every morning. We saw four types of fish without any masks. Sunbeds start to take from 8 am. There are stones in the water, but it did not bother. The best beach is the beach of Akumal hotel.
We were lucky with the weather: 12 days without rain and the last 2 days there was a tropical storm (strong wind with rain).
The beach was closed, half of the thatched umbrellas were knocked down, something was upside down and scattered, something was floating in the ocean. But everything quickly began to restore.
The hotel has its own dolphinarium. Prices are $70 and up. Works from 9 am to 3 pm. Every day at 11:30 a free show with dolphins for 15 minutes.
Bicycles can be rented (free of charge, 1 hour per day). A jet ski costs $70 for half an hour.
The hotel area is clean and tidy. Of the animals seen coatis, raccoons, jaguanas.
