Tulum Hotels with Airport pickup service

My husband, small children ( 2 and 4), and I just returned from our 3rd year visiting Bahia Principe Grand Tulum. The first two years the resort was exceptional. The food, the entertainment, the facilities, and above all else the staff. Every single year the servers at the buffet and bartenders have been a large part of what makes our vacation so relaxing and special. Emilia, Francisco, and Lidia at the buffet are absolute gems. They not only do a phenomenal job refilling beverages and remembering guest preferences day up day, but they are loving and go above and beyond with the children. Jorge at the Truck is also a treasure. He not only smiled and joked with my children, but he also proactively brought numerous napkins and ketchup refills so my husband and I could actually eat lunch. These staff members are amazing, hardworking, and don't get nearly enough recognition! For parents traveling with small children the staff alone is a good reason to visit this hotel. Now to the negative ( and I am so sad to have to write a negative this year!). In years past there has been a self-serve cerveza, water, And juice bar next to the children's pools. Following that it's about a 5-minute walk to the truck to go to their beverage station with the full bar. That self-serve station was vital because as a parent with young children there's no way to leave your children alone in the pool while you grab the beverage. Sadly, this year the self-serve station was not working. Which meant that either my husband or myself had to watch both children in the pool or we had to pack up the kids just to quickly walk over and get something to drink. For a five-star resort. This was quite the negative. It's a small thing, but it really impacted the quality and relaxation of our trip. Definitely something for parents with young kids to consider. Additionally, the Burger bar wasn't open which means that if you wanted a quick lunchtime snack option you could only go to the truck and that had long lines. Finally, we saw several snakes on tht property. We had never seen them in the past, and , I understand that this is the tropics and It's the snake's home first, as a parent that was still terrifying. Sadly, this may be a deal-breaker for us returning for a fourth visit.

There is no shower and no lights. We are ready, but we live on the first floor and we were chopped to death by the people on the second floor. We were still walking around at two o'clock in the morning, and there were people arguing next door until late 🥹 All the staff's services can't be said. In other words, this place is enough for a day. The price/performance ratio is not too high, and the breakfast is good.

There is a reason Condé Nast travel ranked this beautiful resort in the top 3 of Eastern Mexico! It’s amazing, the property is kept immaculate, the service is unmatched. We had the ceiba club experience tbh I can see why families might find that aspect appealing but in the future we will skip this upgrade

We visited your resort last week for my daughter's wedding. Issue #1: From the start, the wedding coordinator, F.M., did not make this special experience as wonderful as it should have been. I almost canceled the wedding at the last minute. The day before the wedding, I filed a complaint with the director of Akumal, Aurora, who was amazing and resolved the issue quickly. Guadalupe, the wedding manager, and Stephanie were like angels, turning the experience into a fairy tale in the end. However, I strongly recommend improving the training for your wedding staff to ensure that all guests receive the exceptional service they expect. Issue #2: The process for booking the restaurant was awful. Everything was fully booked, and it was impossible to make a reservation a week before our stay. Despite these issues, I would still visit and recommend your resort because the wonderful staff at Akumal helped me forget the negative experiences.

As a family of 4, with two young children we had a great time. Food: Buffet food was great and a lot of diversity. The à la carte restaurants you should definitely try the Mediterranean, the Gourmet and Mikado. Room: Very clean and the room service was always done and never missed anything. Pool: pool is clean, with a lots of entertainment and activities. There are things to do all day, volleyball, games, aqua fit classes, cooking classes, bingo, ping pong, etc. The entertainment team is great and make sure you have fun. Kids club: Amazing! Thank you to the whole team for watching after my kids. They loved it so much that they were eager to go next day. They rehe****d during the day and participated in all kind of shows at night. The kids club team had all kinds of activities going all day and they use Whats Up to text you if your child need anything, including pictures of what they were doing. Great WIFI throughout the whole resort. Don’t miss the magic show at the Coba theatre if you have kids.

I usually don’t leave reviews, but after this wild experience, I had no choice. I was absolutely disgusted by the treatment I received at this hotel. I booked the hotel for a women’s retreat and interacted with 3 different people over the course of my time at the hotel. The first person checked us in and I informed him that Oke of the participants had COVID and wouldn’t be attending and the other person would be staying with me to nanny for my child. He said okay he would let the manager know and they would remove it from the bill. He took a deposit for the 5 rooms ($50 per day). He told us breakfast was served at the sister hotel, Zenses and we should eat there after yoga in the morning. He also informed us that while the website says bikes are complimentary, they don’t offer bikes and the beach is actually an hour away, not 30 minutes! What the hell? The next day, another woman asked for the remaining balance on the room. I asked if that was customary because I am used to paying that upon departure and she said yes, so I paid the balance. The day before our departure, I interacted with a 3rd woman who was very rude, impatient and said she was charged two rooms that weren’t even in my party for breakfast. I told her breakfast was included. I asked for her name. She refused to give it to me so I sent a screenshot of her to the manager and he failed to respond. She called the manger and both of them very rudely said breakfast was not included and told me they would be charging me for the room my nanny didn’t use and for breakfast, even though it was included. I requested a print out of my payment. They couldn’t provide it for a while and finally provided a document that was inaccurate I challenged them and questioned them over and over and they failed to address the issue or provide any type of resolve. I also advocated for bikes and when we took them out, the pedal fell off and we had to rely on the help of strangers to get us back because no one at the hotel was willing to come get us or support the issue. In addition, our rooms were not cleaned daily, despite the multiple requests. I had to come and get tissue, washcloths and empty the trash. Absolutely terrible service! I have been going back and forth with the “owner” for a while and he has ceased responding because there is 0 accountability. There’s also construction across the street constantly and wild dogs running around, it’s just not worth it. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!! IT’S NOT WORTH THE HEADACHE!!

This is in a beautiful location in the National Park. They have a gracious staff, very well kept grounds and it is quiet. If you’re looking for a place that doesn’t just feel natural but actually is, this is the place. If you’re looking for more of a party vibe, you won’t be happy here. You’ll have to take a taxi to the hotel zone for the clubs. The food is excellent and well priced. Not cheap, mind you, but MUCH less than other hotel restaurants in the hotel zone. Please note there isn’t air conditioning in the rooms. They have a lovely fan over the bed and we had no problem cooling off at nights.

We enjoy this hotel so much we have stayed every time we are in Tulum! The rooms are clean and nicely decorated, the jungle view is beautiful. We have stayed in many of the different rooms but our favorite is the one bedroom suite with balcony. The terrace suite is nice too, but the terrace isn’t covered so when it rains you lose that space. We love how accommodating and friendly the staff are. I think I lost something every day we were there last time (swimsuit coverup, sandals, car keys) and they were right there to make sure I was reunited with my items. The breakfast staff was great, they made sure you had everything you wanted and again, always a smile to great you. The bar staff was excellent also, we mainly ate at the downstairs bar and had our food delivered poolside. It didn’t take long for them to know our favorites! Make sure you take advantage of the 2 free drinks and the twentyish dollars in credit you get each night. The rooftop pool is reserved for adults, but during the day if no one is up there, they did allow our son to get in (he is 10). The rooftop pool is great, it is an infinitely edge looking out at the jungle. The downstairs pool feels more intimate. The housekeeping staff is also on point, we often only have housekeeping when we need it, a few days in to our stay usually, but the day we had it done everything was perfect upon our return, and the toys my son had bought were cutely arranged on his bed (which they also made up properly for us!). The location is great for nearby restaurants (which I found to be better than the ones on the beach) and renting a car or scooter. Take advantage of the lagoon snorkeling trip they offer as well, you have to rent the snorkel gear but the entrance fee and the transportation fee are included. In Tulum transportation so expensive!! We did not do the beach transportation but they do offer that. They also have a laundry facility! We brought detergent and quarters with us. If we were to come back to Tulum we would stay here again.

The price is a bit expensive. Good location. It's convenient for eating and shopping around. The room is big. Night life is abundant. It's also very convenient to get to the station. I will choose to stay here again when I go to Cancun in the future.
