Grand Bahia Principe Tulum Hotel, Mexico, Riviera Maya, walk through, Hotel Review , June 2017 

Those two chairs at 13:13 ... Haha my god watching this just brought back a great memory. My 2 brothers and myself were sitting at that spot, late in the evening of january 15th 2017, right after the show and a quick trip to the (sometimes weird at night) snack bar. I remember just watching the near-full moon and stars over the ocean, listening to the waves... a bit tipsy I must admit :) We had a great talk and walked back on the beach to our rooms at the extreme north side of the resort. A night to remember! Just felt like sharing ;) Thanks for the time you put into this!

I was there just a few weeks ago! Best vacation ever! Your video really helped before I left. I was able to know what to expect and know where everything was. So thanks for that. I can’t wait to go back again. I was aware by your time share people and I admit I got sucker it to it. They say it’s only 99 minutes but it was 3 hours long. I was upset cause I felt like they mislead us and took an afternoon from our vacation. Staff was awesome, so friendly and I felt safe there. I won’t hesitate to back again!

I came here back in 2005 when I was 7 and can still remember the whole trip. Watching this brought back so many memories. Our trip was sadly cut slightly short as we were in Hurricane Emily which destroyed many parts of the hotel. I can remember one of the restaurant roof completely collapsed into itself. Amazing memories though 😊

I am so excited I just moved here to the Mexican Caribbean and I will start working as a front desk agent in this hotel ! I will do my best, and I will take care of all you people coming from all around the 🌎! Please come visit it is soooo beautiful you won't regret staying in this hotel! Thank you so much for telling people to make sure they tip! 😆 i like that

Going 21st january so excited,never been before,did not think we d ever go here ,dreams do come true

Thank you for tour going on june 15 2019 cant wait now I have seen it in reality

Very good video, first time or not - my wife and I are looking at vacationing here next year and it is great to see a *real* review of a place by a *real* vacationer rather than a polished marketing piece!

Thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. Lots of helpful info and I’m now really looking forward to my forthcoming holiday. Thanks again.

We stayed her last March and we are going back in December. Stayed at Coba last November for a wedding (our first vacation to Mexico), and we decided on Tulum for the second time because of the convenience of having your room close to the beach. Our room was in building 12 right behind the snack bar and the second, quiet pool and it was well worth it. The cost wasn’t that much different from Coba but if you are a beach bum like we are it is so worth it. Going for our birthdays and I can’t wait to see how they decorate for Christmas. They were just starting to put the lights up when we left in November. I love Christmas decor

Thanks for a detailed and informative video! I'm going to this resort for my 40th birthday in December and can't wait. 🙂

Fantastic video, really looking forward to our holiday in a few week, thanks for the hints & tips!

Great video! I watched the whole thing. My daughter and I will be visiting this hotel in June and I hadn’t been able to fully understand the layout of the resort in regards to the beach and pools. I totally understand now and am even more excited thanks to this. 🏅

Great video Wayne and very informative. This is a resort we are considering for next year. Thank you.

Thanks for this video, very informative as like you say - there isn't much information out there! I travel in just over 2 weeks with my partner and this video has got me even more excited!

Hi Wayne Thank You for doing this video we are going in couple of days time and the tips/ advice you gave has been most helpful.. Well presented..

Thanks so much for this info video, we are going for a big family event next month there. Very useful!

I love this video! I am off to this hotel at the end of October for 2 weeks! I am very much excited and this has made me even more happy with the hotel we chose! Thanks for this video! Will make it easier when I'm there so I'm familiar with the area 😘

I was there the very day u filmed this video...... i was in the coba section. I'm also british also from the london area and i fell in love with this place the instant i got there.

great great review really indepth, I'm going there with the family june 27th and this video has made my mind up that I chose the right place for a relaxing holiday, really enjoyed watching so thanks

Oh yh btw they installed nets to stop sea weed getting on the beach for anyone that wanted to know :)

Fantastic video! Thank you so much. My wife and I have booked this resort for June 12th

this brings back so many memories when i went in 2017. (it's 2019 now)

I went to that hotel in 2017 October 3rd till October 18th the best experience of my life going back this year in the summer ☀️☀️

This is fantastic! Thank you so much for making this video ! We are going there in September. Now we know what to expect:)

Great Job Wayne. We’re heading there April 2018 so was great to get the real perspective. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Darren & Family

That you for this informative video! I will be going for the first time with my wife in May

Amazing video and thank you for doing this is has been so informative. People like you are a god send....

Exellent video, going there in March. Can’t wait!

Great video for a first timer, Wayne. We have been there and you showed it well. Cheers!

Thankyou for your video, very informative, me and my family are going here this year and cant wait. X

Great video Wayne, thanks for posting - very helpful

Great video review. Really informative Wayne. Thanks for all of the tips

Great and informative, seems like you covered most everything. We went last November and will be there again in 2 weeks. Love it. Last time there were tons of Canadians (which were all nice) and some Brits and Germans.. Everyone we met were great! You don't get a chance to meet a lot of people from Europe here in the States and it's cool to talk with people from other parts of the globe. Great video!

We're going next month, this video was very helpful thanks for sharing.

Hi have just watched your video. It was really enlightening and has given us a good flavour of what we have to look forward to. Looking forward to arriving on Monday. Thank you there were some really helpful tips. The James family.

Gracias por compartir ese hermoso lugar y recorrido bendiciones 💚💚

Estuve en 2018 mucho zargazo pero espectacular todo volveria a ir desde Argentina saludos

Great video Wayne, well done for your first review.

Thank you for your video and I completely agree about the cruelty to keep dolphins in a pool. So very sad. Your did a great job!

EXCELENTE TODO ESTUVIMOS ALOJADOS EN TULUM TAL ES ASÍ QUE PRÓXIMAMENTE IREMOS EN EL MES DE JUNIO A REPUBLICA DOMINICANA BAYAIBE A ALOJARNOS EN LA CADENA DE. BAIA PRÍNCIPE

Yo ya fui a ese hotel !! Es precioso 🌼 Sobre todo las habitaciones,!! Y el servicio es el mejor!!!

Thank you mate. We just booked for next year. It looks amazing. I normally do a hotel vid four our lass's mam. Ill just send her this link instead. 👍🏼

Will be here in a few weeks, can’t wait thanks for the video. That seaweed looks disappointing though, is it like that all the way down? Also what currency is best to use there dollars or peso?

Thanks for your lovely video.

loved it ,may be going next sept.

great video matey just what i needed to make my decision just one thing how many beach bars were there and was it easy to get to playa del carmen from this hotel thanks

Really nice, many thanks!

We went to coba this year so wanted to know what the sister hotel was like. Really enjoyed your video, thank you,

Love the Bahia !!!

Thanks Wayne for the video, we are going in June this year. Would you recommend taking dollars or Mexican currency. Thank you.

Great informative video. Enjoyed your tour of the resort very much.

Great video thanks for information going end of August 👌👌

Great Video! Thank you for sharing

superb video..well made..

Hi Wayne! Thank you for doing the walk around. I am wondering if you saw any weddings taking place and what they were like? We were thinking of getting married on the beach. The area we liked best was in the palm trees a bit. It looked private but it's hard to tell in photos. Thanks again!

visted grand Bahia in feb 2018-----I remember the gleaming sun bouncing on the jade green coloured water as the waves glistened with one eye on my pin colada and the other on a sexy legged blonde

Enjoyed your video. The COBRA Hotel made me laugh.... COBA😂

Thank you for this the video!You gave us lots of information!

I stayed many years at the grand but it was joined to the eco park

Thanks for the very detailed upload Wayne . Do you know if there are any buses that run to the local town from the hotel please ?

Hi. This looks great! Hopefully going there in April 2020 for my wedding. Is April a good time? How windy is it? And do you know if it's local to the xcaret park? Thank you

You did a great job. Very informative!

Great video! 2 questions, what would you recommend for tipping like every drink and for housekeeping. Also what excursions or activities do you recommend?

Good job, thanks.

Really enjoyed your video and very informative for myself and my family as we are visiting this year and didnt know what to expect - however, really looking forward to it after watching your video. Just a quick question, are the dolphins included in the all inclusive? Thank you.

Very useful. Thank you . Good advice

I agree, dolphins shouldn’t be kept in captivity for our entertainment.

Very informative. Thanks.

Great video , just wanted to know what the dress code is like for men in the restraunts for example is it ok to wear smart shorts or does it have to be jeans/ trousers , thanks 👍🏻

24 days and I’ll be there 😍

hi wayne one more question, do the men need long pants for the restauants. thanks lorraine .

Very informative. Thank you, my question is how was the night show? what kind of entertainment? and do they have a nightclub?

For your first vid you have it nailed mate. We are going in Sept/October time. Hopefully we don't experience a hurricane. What I would like to ask you is "what is the best currency to take"

Thanks for the tour. My travel agent picked this for me (he always picks 3 and shows them to me then I pick one) and I think he made a good choice. I will be there in Feb. Are the balconies off the rooms private? Are they those little skinny things that they somehow wedge two chairs and a small bistro table onto? (I don't care because I don't plan on spending a lot of time there but mum and I got a laugh out of it at the last resort we were at.)

Great video, really helped for when we go at Christmas. What’s the nightclub like if you know ??

Hey Wayne thanks for the review . Did you mean the Coba resort was the sister resort. Are you able to go to Coba and do their A la Cart dining facilities. Thanks for your time.

Very informative...Well done...but your clothes will dry out if you go during the winter months when it's not so humid..

Great video thanks! I also dislike swimming with imprisoned dolphins!

I like a resort and the beach and swimming pool the people in Mexico very nice

My wife and I are considering this place. How would you rate the food? And was the buffet pretty good? We go to cancun almost every year, and the food makes a huge difference

Very helpful and informative video. Thanks!

How was the weather there at the time?

Helpful video! Wondering if best to tip in pesos or USD for the bartenders? and how much??

awesome video thank u!!!!!

Hi you said you would let us know about some hidden dangers but didn't get round to mentioning them, I was just wondering what these were please?

Hi Mate great video. We’re going in two weeks and a quick question for you? Is it best to take Pesos or American Dollars??

Way the WiFi is expensive ,atleast we are being sensible and bringing our own WiFi hubs 😎

Thanks for the excellent and educational video. I am from the Czech Republic in Europe and on 2 November 2019 I fly to this resort. Well, your video helped me to get along well after arriving. Is there a service with sharks and sailing behind the boat in this resort? And how is there meal .. ?? Thank you for your answers. Jarek CZ (EU) (Excuse my language.)

In your expert opinion, is this hotel better than the other two?

Thanks so much for a non biased view of the resort. Greatly appreciated. Did you get sick at all? I’m hoping to eat lots of salads....are they safe?!! Also, did you go to the nightclub? What was that like?

Hi Wayne. This is a great video with some fabulous tips too. just a few questions, is there anywhere really to snorkel and also is the currency US dollars.

Hi Wayne, thanks for posting some really informative videos! Just wanted to ask if mosquitos are a problem and should I bring some insect repellent? TIA

thank you i really enjoyed this and i’m looking forward definetly to going in february, one quick question how is the weather usually and is there chances of any hurricanes or tornados?

we are coming out next week cant wait and we are swimming with the dolphins

Was you ever bored during your stay ? Thinking of booking this place or Coba for 2 adults & a child. But with it been so isolated and most time spent on resort, did you ever feel at a loose end ?It was either this region or Cancun as atleast up there you have the nightlife on the door step, but these resorts look beautiful and are slightly cheaper than Cancun and have great reviews. Just hoping were not bored after a few days of the same scenery constantly. Also how far is Akumal beach ? As that looks a really nice beach too. And finally did you ever venture off resort to anything nearby such as Playa Del Carman or anywhere that might be of interest. Thanks for your help
