The infinity pool was amazing. Staffers were polite. We had access to the other properties and restaurants, which was nice, but booking was entirely too difficult, and the Brazilian restaurant was not available a single night of our stay, and this was echoed by many other guest we met. The property needs a lot of updating. I’m not quite sure what was luxury about it in comparison to the other resorts.

We were overcharged at every opportunity from sanitation, to the shows and the spa. Our first room was bad, AC, refrigerator and toilet not working at all, so we had to pay to get a working room (over$500USD). Some of the staff were very friendly while others should not be in the service industry if they hate people that much. The reservation requiring restaurants were hit or miss, overall the food was OK. However there is no food at the pools AT ALL. I can understand this is to keep animals away and the pool areas clean, but this also creates a huge problem of the only available food at lunch time running out and having very long lines for what little food is available. Last the area was very secluded and getting anywhere in a taxi was very expensive. The Hacienda area for shopping was just 30 vendors all selling exactly the same stuff at super inflated price, like over $60usd for a bad pair of shorts (not worth it at all) but it's $50 one way to playa in a taxi to go shopping so they know they can charge you whatever they want. Overall we will not be returning to this resort or hotel chain. I have stayed at many other resorts and feel food, prices, and hospitality are better elsewhere.

The property was beautiful and the staff and service was amazing. The transportation was top notch. So thankful that we didn't have to walk unless we wanted to. The only thing that was a negative on the property were the animals that were coming in the outside restaurants. They were cute and all but it was a lot of them.

Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal is our go to resort when traveling to mexico. We have stayed at this resort since 2012. The staff is amazing and friendly. The specialty restaurants are excellent. Any problems that are experienced, if any, are corrected immediately. There are only two areas of disappointment that we have observed during our last 4 visits: 1- the entertainment has diminished and 2- The number of transportation shuttles is less and they seem to run less often. In the past, there were always nightly shows in the lobby bars at each resort during the evenings (7P-10P). Otherwise, we are extremely happy with our vacations when staying at Bahia Principe.

Decent spot but I wouldn’t return. The service was good and the food was solid, however the facilities were dated. There were leaks throughout the property (it rained a lot because of the timing of the trip) which didn’t ruin the experience but it was noticeable. I speak about the leaks because they almost ruined the trip as a part of the ceiling almost fell on my wife as we were leaving the resort to go home. The resort is LARGE and connected to other properties under the Bahía umbrella. If you want to explore, it’s cool, but you need to take a cart to the other places and waiting on the cart can be a hassle (low leverage hassle, but if you want convenience, the size of the resorts don’t make it easy to traverse). The food was good and the drinks were good. Unsure if we’d go back since we like another brand better, but the trip was what we needed so there’s were no complaints during or after the trip.

Overall satisfied with the facility and stay at the resort. Enjoyed the beaches and the al a carte restaurants. My only complaints was lack of a snack restaurant open in the evenings besides the buffet. They were all at the other Bahía resorts. Advertised 24 hour snack restaurant but not at Bahía Príncipe. After 7 the only way to get snack service was ordering from the room. The other complaint would be lack of communication about towels for the pools and beach. Only one location to pick up but not noted anywhere so wandered around looking and asking for quite some time.
