🌴🌴 BAHIA PRINCIPE GRAND COBA FULL TOUR

[@WherewegoingNext]

Hope you enjoyed our tour of Bahia Principe Grand Coba! This resort has A LOT to offer. If you have any questions, ask away! If you've stayed here, let us know how it was in the comments below.

[@danigilchrist3495]

Hi Andrew I’m wondering if you book coba if kids came use splash park in tulum etc? Thanks x

[@jmwb4u]

Hi is there alot of 20 year Olds to 30 year Olds or any parties for that age group?

[@WherewegoingNext]

Yes, Coba guests can use the facilities at Tulum 👍🏻

[@WherewegoingNext]

They usually have live music out on the patio and the party continues at the sports bar late into the evening 👍🏻 I would say there are mostly families at this resort, but there’s lots to do for all ages 👍🏻

[@jmwb4u]

@@WherewegoingNext is there any party's at night, or any 20-30 year Olds at all for the singles traveling there?

[@davidng407]

Hi Andrew, Happy New Year! Nobody pays attention to details like you; you must have been a straight A student! It's so great that you point out accessibility for people that may not be able to walk up steps. Keep up the good work!

Thank you David and happy new year! We try our best to be as informative as possible 🙏🏻

My fiancé and I have been watching all your reviews for the past two months for our destination wedding. We really like the style you present the resorts, in addition to how thorough and methodical your reviews are. Keep it up! Bonus points for being from southern Ontario too!

[@leviperry5321]

My wife and I are taking our 2 kids this Feb. Really excited. Thanks for posting the tour. It looks really nice. Is there any excursions near the resort that you would recommend?

[@WherewegoingNext]

Not sure what the most kid-friendly excursion would be 🤔 the resort will have a number of excursions to browse through. The best one that comes to mind is Xcaret - a huge eco park for families 👍🏻

[@1257dude]

I'm planning a trip this summer to go here and Xcaret. This was very informative. Shout out for not recording and being respectful of the people relaxing at the resort

[@WherewegoingNext]

Thanks so much for watching and have a great trip!

[@tim03b_48]

Just got home from here. DO NOT DO IT. Unless you want to spend the majority of the time waiting for trams or walking very far way to the beach or if you are unlucky and have a room far away from the lobby; stay clear away from. Go to Bahia Principe Tulum instead. The beach is way nicer and its definitely more consolidated.

[@etimsam]

@@tim03b_48 wow good point. But, we do like the walks. We enjoyed it in Punta Cana, and in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Just gives us some needed exercise after meals, and opportunity to see the property more. This is why we like large properties. My question rather, is, what I am supposed to wear to dinner, if I can't wear my shorts and my flip flops. Like, I am on vacation!

Thanks - we haven’t released them yet.. they will be out in the coming weeks

[@raoucherania2530]

Hello, wich one you prefer between the bahia and the barcelo maya beach ? Thank you for the videos very helpful

[@WherewegoingNext]

They are both very similar - the main difference is that BP Grand Coba is far from the beach and Barcelo Maya Beach is right on the beach

[@olegdub2628]

Nice and detailed review man! If you can provide any info on the path to the beach , if you decide to a walk is there any green area or wild life is that path is nicw to walk? Thanks Planing to take my family there in th beginning of the may and we like to walk a lot especially in the nice viewed area thanks

[@WherewegoingNext]

Hi there! Yes, there are nature reserve areas between the hotels that you can walk by.

[@bensanderson1564]

Thanks so much for the excellent and informative tour of Grand Coba! My wife and I have booked a week here later this month. We 're hoping you might be able to clarify something for us. We've read in a number of reviews that Coba guests can purchase "upgraded" bracelets that will allow you access to the other Bahia resorts. They mentioned it was about $15 US per person, per day. Have you heard anything similar? We would love to be able to access the beach at Tulum, but didn't know if we would be turned away or not. Anyway, thanks again for such a great breakdown. We're even more excited than we were before!

[@WherewegoingNext]

Thank you for watching! No, we haven’t heard about the bracelet 🤔 as you saw in the video, there is a special beach access allocated to Coba guests - but what we missed showing in the video was the small snack/drink bar at the Coba beach. You can get refreshments at the beach even as a Coba guest 👍🏻 you can walk the Tulum beach and see if it will be worth it for you to buy the day pass, but the beach is nicer on the Coba side anyway 👌🏻👌🏻 you won’t be turned away if you want to walk the beach, (there’s no one patrolling the beach) but you might not be able to sit on the Tulum loungers or use their bars/restaurants etc. Hope that helps and have a great trip! We loved the Grand Coba 😊

[@bensanderson1564]

@@WherewegoingNext Hey, thanks for the info - much appreciated! It's good to hear the other beach is accessible via a nice walk. Also good to hear that the Coba beach is better anyway, ha ha! All the best, and again, outstanding video!

You’re welcome ☺️ we hope you enjoy your vacation 🙏🏻🥂

[@emmamacculloch9273]

Hi, thanks for a very informative video! Is there a disco or club on the resort at all?

[@WherewegoingNext]

There is a disco in the Bahia village within the complex. It was closed when we were there, but hopefully it’s open now! 🤞🏻

[@DGH19]

love your reviews man, we are booking here soon! going end of March, my 2 girls are 14 and 11, to me this resort by far is the best bang for your buck! looking at the Barcelo ones, yes they were nice, but also1500 + more for the 4 of us. reviews look good!! cheers

[@WherewegoingNext]

It honestly surprised us at how great Coba was and how much it had to offer! If you don’t mind being a bit farther from the beach, it checks all the boxes 👍🏻 hope you have a great trip 🙌🏻

[@DGH19]

@@WherewegoingNext cheers man, and yeah really not a deal killer for us, we stayed at Grand Memories Splash (now Royalton Splash) in PCana back in 2019, and didn't mind not being on the beach, was nice we were able to play at Royalton too, used pools and restaurants etc. Are they really strict on not being able to use the Akumal pools without that bracelet ? thx again

Yes, they are pretty strict on visiting the other resorts unfortunately.

[@WherewegoingNext]

Sorry, we don’t know 🤷🏼‍♀️ have a great trip!

[@anilpatel-xm9pl]

Hi there! We are going there on sat and meeting a family up from the uk. Is there any areas of accommodation that is better or any areas where to probably get better rooms at coba? Also what was your favorite alacart restaurant. Thanks

[@WherewegoingNext]

We didn’t stay at this hotel - we just toured it, so we can’t speak to what room block is the best 🤷🏼‍♀️ you can ask at checkin to place you close to the lobby, for example, if you wish. We only ate at the Japanese ala carte at Coba, but it was great 👍🏻

[@ashleyphillips5922]

Nice video, unsure with which hotel to pick between coba and tulum we have 18month and 5yr old is it worth the extra £500 to stay in tulum

[@WherewegoingNext]

The main differences are: proximity to the beach and overall look and styling. Coba is a 5ish minute cart ride to the beach (with a designated section and a drink and snack bar), whereas Tulum is right on the water. Coba has more traditional decor and more dated rooms, whereas Tulum’s much more modern and has newly renovated rooms. Besides that, the service and food are great at both. They also both have excellent splash pads/pools and kids areas 👍🏻 I would say, it depends how important the beach is on your trip versus how much time you’re going to spend at the pool.

[@ashleyphillips5922]

Ok thanks 👍 I will have to have a long think

[@WherewegoingNext]

Good luck with your planning!

[@VMJM85]

Do they have a coffee shop like other resorts? Thank you

[@WherewegoingNext]

Nope

[@JS-jj1vg]

Does this resort have childrens club, playground with slides and swings, also does this have adults waterslides and 4 years old waterslides. We are a vegetarian and don't know exactly which resort to go to as being a vegetarian. We want to know is the peso the best currency from UK to use there and could you also use your credit card for excersions and does the hotel organise trips like to see chichen itza

[@WherewegoingNext]

Yes, this resort has a kids club - you can see the small slide and swing area at minute 15 in the video. There are no adult slides at the water park- just kiddy slides. There are tons of vegetarian options at the buffet and we made a separate buffet video that you can check out. Yes, you can use your credit card for the excursions. And yes, there are lots of different excursions that are available from the hotel 👍🏻

[@JS-jj1vg]

@@WherewegoingNext Is there a beach on site?. Can we sit with our daughter on the slides as she is 4 years old, also is it difficult to book a reservation for the restaurants they have?. Which currency would be best to take to Mexico from the UK. I do have a credit card which will give me the closest rate when paying.

[@hydrodoesntedit5327]

@@JS-jj1vg their is a beach but you have to take a 2 minute gold cart to it dinner reservations are very easy to book with all of the options and I would reccomend bringing us dollars

Hi, can you explain how to get to and from the beach. how long it takes and what amenities are on the beach please. ex: bars, bathrooms etc.

With booking the excursions would it be cheaper to book with a tui rep or hotel. We will be traveling from the UK.

[@WherewegoingNext]

Not sure - we’ve always booked right from the resort bc we felt it would be the safest and easiest. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@mrarieldesa]

Thats awesome!, Any tips on cost of transport for a family of 4 from the airport to the hotel?

[@WherewegoingNext]

We used Canada Transfers and it was great 👍🏻

[@etimsam]

I have a question please. I do not understand when it says no shorts, or flip flops. Does it mean I can't wear my shorts and my flip flops to dinner, while I am on vacation? What then am I supposed to wear? Dress shoes and pants??

[@WherewegoingNext]

They’re not super strict on those rules - Drew wears shorts and flip flops to dinner all the time. I think they just don’t want u to wear beach attire to the dinner restaurants

[@etimsam]

@@WherewegoingNext thanks for the taking the time to reply to my question. I am happy to hear that because that's how it was in Jamaica and in Punta Cana. My wife just booked this resort for the 12th month of this year. I can't wait for the cold to set in here in Canada, because that is when Caribbean vacation mood gets activated. Right now, we're doing our local weekend getaways and day trips across Ontario, until the summer runs out. Thanks again for the reply, and hello from London-Ontario, Canada 🙂

[@WherewegoingNext]

No, they are not allowed to use the Tulum facilities 👎

[@JS-jj1vg]

Hi, Does this resort have a free shuttle bus that takes you to nearby shops that sell clothes, food items?. Where would be the best place for shopping to go to that would sell the above?.

[@WherewegoingNext]

The only area we know of is Playa del Carmen, which is about a 30 minute drive - and there is not a free shuttle to get there. You would have to take taxi or a city bus I believe 🤔

can you please explain where is the beach of COBA, i see comments regarding the beach is small??? and with lot of rocks??

[@WherewegoingNext]

If you go on google maps, you can zoom in to the area on the beach between Tulum and Akumal and that’s where the Coba section is. It’s not huge, but it’s still nice 🤷🏼‍♀️ yes, the whole beach area at Bahia is rocky in sections but still swimmable and beautiful. Water shoes will help getting in, and after that, it’s nice and sandy 👍🏻

[@hydrodoesntedit5327]

For alacarte it is only for dinner from around 5 30 to 10 30 and tourisrt attractions xcaret is nice

[@JS-jj1vg]

Hi, I take it that you need to go on the trolley to get to the lacarte restaurants and the main buffet is the one which is in the resort itself in the hotel wonder which one will have the most vegetarian food, if anyone know please share this.

the buffet has the mot vegetarian food but their is also more than 5 alacarte restaurents . the grand coba is one of the 4 resorts on that propretie . in the main lobbie of coba you can book the dinner reservations at any resort .

People who go to Coba can go to the beach, they do not have to stay on their resort. You can walk OR take a tram to the beach area

Every resort you need to make a reservation at the A la carte restaurants, that’s why you’re only limited to 2-3 per stay. It makes sense because you don’t want to be waiting in line on your vacation. You don’t need resos at buffets though. There are children because it’s considered an all-ages, family resort.
