May 13, 2025Babies crying everywhere
We are currently at BP Tulum. Came 2 years ago same dates. Great. Just a few children enjoying everything with families. This time crying babies everywhere. Can't move for buggies in buffet at times. Example In a la carte Indian around 30 people in place at 8pm. 5 crying babies for most of our 3 course meal. Crying babies at pool this morning. Now watching football in sports bar with crying baby. Why people would expect a baby / toddler to cope with 36 feels like 40 degrees is beyond me Coba is the family place and is actually better this time. Just families enjoying the sun and facilities.

Great Family Vacation in Spite of the Imperfections
My family (wife, kids ages 8 and 11) had a great time during our stay, though there were some imperfections. Pros: -Rooms were spacious, with sofa bed in living room working well for kid beds. We appreciated the built-in drying racks on the balcony. -Pools were big, warm, and shallow enough (1.25 m or so) so that even my younger kid could stand most of the time. My 11YO and I spent hours tossing a frisbee around in the pool. -Great service around the resort -Golf carts driven by staff made getting around quick and easy, including traveling to the Coba resort -Wildlife spotting was fun: we saw coatis, agoutis, iguanas, raccoons, and lots of birds -The Friday night rock show was good Cons: -Smells: room smelled moldy when entering, though I never saw mold. Toilet (sewage system) smelled a bit funky, too. -Buffet and dining room: The food was mostly fine, though the fish, fresh crepes and always available ice cream were highlights. The kids' area was underwhelming, often with unusual food that didn't seem to be in the right place. The buffet area was always hot and the dining spaces were also uncomfortably warm. -There was a lot of seaweed on the beach, though it was not stinky. The hotel put in a valiant effort to clear it every day, with workers raking it and bulldozers pushing it away. -Shows: the Thursday night pop show didn't hold my kids' interest as much as the Friday night one. Also I wish the shows started at 8:00, not 9:00, for the kids. -AC: the living room AC was always loud. It was either freezing or not on, with no in-between option. Maintenance tried to fix it, but things didn't change.

Josefina, bar staff in lobby bar always provided exceptional service. Superb! The company are lucky to have her as a staff member. All round a great hotel, where we had a fantastic holiday. The pools and the a la carte restaurants were brilliant.

May 11, 2025I hate writing reviews like this! 😞
I don’t know where to start. First of all the majority of the service staff are amazing but they must feel like they are swimming against the tide. This is absolutely no way near a 5 star complex. We paid to upgrade (£272) only worth it as the food in Akumal is ‘slightly’ better. However, the Indian restaurant’s food was stunning but good luck trying to book a table at any of the restaurants. I can’t find fault with the room cleaning, Roberta, was amazing and I hope she gets recognition of how hard she works. Ultimately, there needs to be a management systematic review of the whole complex because they are really letting themselves down. We’ve travel well over the last 30 years both with children and as a couple and this is by far the worst place we have stayed when it comes to food. If you are a ‘foodie’ or ‘coeliac’ stay well clear - most things are beige or over fried and not labelled correctly for those who have to follow a strict gluten free diet. We had a leak in our room that took a while to resolve but our daughter’s leak issue too even longer. The surrounding area is beautiful please management regroup and make this the most stunning place it could be.

Excellent place to stay for families and couples.
It's been 35+ years since my last trip to Mexico. Shame on me! It was wonderful, relaxing and a really great and large resort. Rooms: We were in building 42 in a Junior Suite. It's been renovated and lovely and clean. If you're not wanting to walk you can always catch a golf cart train to wherever you need to go. The bed and pillows were comfy and I had no back issues and my son slept on the pull out couch and said it was great. Check In: Was fast, helpful, and if you don't like where you're being situated, they'll work to find you another room. We used them several times afterward as my sunglasses were lost :( to see if anyone turned them in. They were very helpful in looking. Buffet and A La Carte: If you want A La Carte, I found it hard to get a reservation. I had 4 to use but was only able to get 1 (yet others came next day and got 3), so my key take away is check as soon as you get there and book and check every day. We got a reservation at Tortuga and it was amazing! Don't fill up on the appies or buffet as it was all you can eat meat on spits brought to your table. So so good. The buffet was really good. The dining room opens at 6 and the choices of food were great. We enjoy going every day. At the main pool, there is a BBQ place for hot dogs and hamburgers, that opens at 12:00. Good if you want to stay at the pool. Pools: The main pool is the party place. The swim up bar fun, bubble party on the Saturday, and the pool was refreshingly cool yet so comfortable to hang out in for a long time. We took advantage of the pool near Unit 42, it was quiet, had a bar and at 1 pm would serve a light taco snack. Perfect if you want a more serene place. The other side of the resort had the kids section (near Tortuga), and midnight buffet. This is a huge resort, go see it all. Had a teens club and little kids program. Shopping: You can take a cab to Playa De Carmen, about 30 min. to go to the flea markets/shopping. At the top of the Tulum resort is the Hacienda, a little square/plaza, where you can buy souvenirs and katches. Bracelets run arond 200-300 pecos (about $15 USD), but you can negotiate. There is also a casino, and at night, I believe there is a like a club/stage where they have music. Most vendors take pecos (100 pecos = $5 USD or $7 CAD) or USD, not much CAD. You can covert your money at the front desk AND they take credit card. There are also ATM machines to take out in USD or in PECO's, but there is a $245 peco fee so be aware. Tips: If you bought a package from Air Canada, Sunwing etc... the bus from the Cancun airport will take you to the resort (2 hours). When you get your luggage, go straight outside to the outdoor bus area and look for your represetative. We got scammed, looking for our Air Canada rep, timeshare people saying they were Air Canada and we ended up paying $40 USD deposit for a "free trip" to Chichiniza (yeah, we should have know better). Walk right on by to the outside bus area. If you book a trip to Tulum or Chichiniza, take an umbrella for the sun. Not a lot of shade, and Mexico is HOT! Take 30-50 sunscreen. I am a sun worshiper and it almost took me out. 50 is the way to start and maybe then 30. Trust me on this and reapply in pool often. Go early and get your chairs underneath a shade cabanna, as the sun gets very hot, and you'll be glad to have the shade. There are lovely Mexican racoons, lizards and camiberas on the property, so cool. You'll have to go to the south end of the resort if you want swimable beach. Bring water shoes. If you book Tulum, you can visit Coba, but you cannot eat or drink there. Great place and would recommend any Bahia Principe, and this resort didn't disappoint.
