Bahia Principe Explore Coba
4 stars· 18,208 reviews
Overview
Bahia Principe Explore Coba sits within the sprawling Bahia Principe Riviera Maya complex, a short walk or shuttle from one of the Riviera Maya's postcard white-sand beaches and close to the Yucatan's jungle and cenote country. The resort is built with families in mind, with its own Bahia Scouts kids' club, a dedicated teens' club, five restaurants, and daily activities and nightly entertainment, while still being walkable to the wider complex's golf course and extra dining. The Riviera Maya's calm, Caribbean-fed water and nearby Mayan ruins at Tulum and Coba make it an easy add-on for anyone wanting a little culture alongside the beach. Currently discounted 12% off its regular rate, it's a solid-value pick for a family all-inclusive week.
