The hotel is one of the Bahia hotel complex (there are 4 in total), the territory is huge, it is difficult to get around on foot. Lots of shade, which is very valuable. We liked almost everything. Rooms are spacious, clean and well refurbished. They cleaned up well. The only thing is, if you want your towels changed, you have to throw them on the floor. We did not know about this and for 3 days we did not change towels))). Only one thing upset us in the room - although the hotel is declared as a 5, we were not given bathrobes and slippers. Other guests (from Canada) were given all this, although their rooms were the same as ours, bracelets too. Plus, the bar was not replenished every day and not with the amount of drinks that was stated. We concluded that Russians are treated somewhat differently than the rest. Other guys from our race confirmed that they had the same nonsense.
The kitchen would be great. In the central restaurant - a buffet, the food was very tasty, the choice of dishes is large, the Mexicans make meat simply delicious (I'm not talking about hamburgers))). There are always plenty of fruits. The only thing was that there were no juices as such, there were some drinks based on juices (diluted with water). I especially liked the milkshakes. Tulum's lobby restaurant often served shrimp and mussels for dinner.
You can eat at any restaurant you meet)). If you want something to take out with you, say "plastic", they will give you a glass or a plastic plate.

The beach is bulk, the entrance to the water is good only at the beach of Koba. And there are so many stones (old corals), walking on them is very painful. There are breakwaters in the water close to the shore, so the deepest place for swimming was about waist-deep))). It is pointless to go beyond the breakwaters, because. there are stones and waves, you can break your legs.
There are no snack bars on the beach itself, i. e. you won’t be able to eat on the beach, you have to go to a restaurant. Well, these are trifles.
The staff is attentive, but not as smiling as in the Dominican Republic. Sometimes it happened, you say hello to someone, and the person passes and does not seem to hear you.
The area is very clean, cleaned constantly. There are many animals running around the area.
In general, the hotel is good, well located for visiting excursions. To Chichen Itza - 2 hours drive, to Tulum - 15 minutes, to the park Explor and Xcaret - 20 minutes. In fact, all these places can be visited by yourself (by minibus). To go to Playa de Carmen, you need to leave the hotel on the road and take a minibus on the same side (white and blue, with the inscription Playa de Carmen - Tulum). Knowledge of the language is optional, you can write and show the name on a piece of paper))). To leave for Tulum, you need to go to the opposite side of the road. A ticket per person to Tulum costs 30 pesos (2.5 dollars). Dollars are accepted everywhere, even in supermarkets. If you want to stock up on alcohol on the way back, I advise you to go to Tulum or Playa to the Cedraui supermarket, the prices there are 50% lower than in duty free. For example, tequila "1900.0. 7 liters there costs 230 pesos (20 dollars), in duty free - 29 dollars.
We were satisfied with the trip, despite minor annoyances.
